(and not even a fun good thing…)
It’s awesome that the Advisor came through with All. These. Fucking. Comments., right? I mean, I’ve been bitching about him ignoring me, so this can only be a good thing. Right?
So it doesn’t make much sense, does it, that all I want to do is pull the covers over my head and sink into a pit of despair?
I am Over. Fucking. Loaded. And I do not want to put in the time this weekend to revise/rework/rewrite this chapter, even though he’s given me *really freaking detailed* notes on the parts that need changing if I want to avoid an excess of Colloquium-Pointing-and-Laughing. And I don’t want to grade the rest of these truly godawful papers (there are many things I love about the night class, but the average literacy level? Uh, is “painful” a level? Because they make me hurt). And I really, really don’t want to deal with my section tomorrow, because I still believe that an hour of staring (or possibly napping) is a great lesson plan. (I do think that Kermit had the best plan, and I’m working on it.)
Okay, though, just to prove that I’m not ALL whining ALL the time, here’s something really really good: After hearing rabid, raving junkie-like reviews from many people about BPAL, I finally ordered a set of Imp’s Ears, and….oh, FUCKING YUM. I wanted to try them all at once, but tried to limit myself to two to start with…so I tried Bewitched and Sin. Bewitched is nice, very subtle, but actually getting better over time. Sin, though…holy crap, is that a scent! It’s actually a little too much for me–kind of gave me a headache at first–but GB has told me at least four times how much he likes the scent (and he pretty much doesn’t care about the odorific side of life). I have to say, the smell really, really reminds me of something CRSE would love (and crse, don’t be surprised if it ends up living with you eventually…the oil, not GB, I mean. No wait, I mean both). Anyway. I love smelly things, and I totally get the BPAL addiction. I have six scents I haven’t tried yet: Bengal, Rome (the freebie in the order), Mag Mell, Voodoo, O, and Queen. And I’m bidding on a bottle of Samhain on ebay. I love new addictions.

Okay, I hadn’t heard about this BPAL site, but it looks really cool. I, too, am addicted to things that smell good. I love the way that scent can influence a mood (esp if combined with music). I wanna smell these Imp’s Ears!

Hmmmmm…
Can I justify buying these? I just splurged on an order of Peet’s coffee, and that might have to be my “scent” for the month.

At least your addictions fall within the realm of society’s perceptions of your dissertation subject matter (bewitched, sin). Your on the right track! Fuck the advisor anyways. Unless he/she is hot of course!!!!
Another Brick in the Wall, eh?
Steady as she goes! You’re on your way home!!! Winter shall be over soon enough!!
Sending love and vibrations.

Did i give you a headache when i first met you? (blinking eyelashes coquettishly?) You know any and all beings and things emanating from you can live with us happily ever after! Seriously, I need a new oil because I cant find a good amber ANYWHERE. I love that you are bidding on ebay. Cuz yer that adorable!

Damn. I folded.
Bewitched, Chimera, Dee, Intrigue, Lurid, Morgause.

Margie, bring them to the Big Damn Conference and we’ll have a wine-drinking, BPAL-sniffing helluva time. š
CRSE, this vial of Sin might be coming your way…it’s heavy on the amber, with sandalwood, patchouli and cinnamon. It is SUCH a crse scent. š ‘
G-Love, dude, you are coming dangerously close to outing me…let’s focus on the meaning of “pseudonymous,” shall we? š
Canada, if you remind me I’ll bring them when we meet up! š
