My favorite is the look on everyone's faces as you explain...
Or a variation thereof.

Why does this remind me of Lenny from Of Mice and Men?managamy wrote:Congratulations Jaskat!! Doesn't it feel great to receive your first acceptance? I was really pleased when I got into my first school, even though it also was a safety. It's a wonderful sensation to know--and know before Christmas--that you will definitely have somewhere to go next fall.
MrsTrucker: Thanks for the cheery advice! I've started to dislike weekends during the admissions process, which is not a healthy sentiment. It's good to remember that they're supposed to be fun! I'm going to do some reading today, as well as Christmas shopping.
(And of course stroking / caressing my avatar, if it doesn't offend Philaw's sensibilities. I thought that women generally liked being stroked, but I tend to enjoy the stroking even more than they enjoy receiving it--including in real life. Hahaha.)

Thanks for the congrats guys!
As for the joke conversation, I don't think I can join in since I'm always perfectly hysterical. *Can feel the eye rolls*
Ugh. You're not the first person to draw that analogy to my attention. I hope that the resemblance begins and ends there, however.jaskat wrote:

Great. Two sex offenders, one fictional and one real. If MrsTrucker starts comparing me to more reprehensible characters, I don't know what I'll do.jaskat wrote:LOL Philaw! That's one of the lines I was thinking of. Of Mice and Men was the only Steinbeck novel I could tolerate, and it was all because of how pitiful Lenny was.
P.S. Managamy, Lenny was also considered a sex offender of sorts.
I was going to as what could possibly be more reprehensible....then I decided it was a bad idea. Then I thought it was a good idea to tell you that I was thinking about saying it, but decided not to, as it may be a bad idea, and now I'm thinking that it may have been a bad idea to mention it at all....lolmanagamy wrote:Great.

I meant "more" as in "further" or "additional," not "more" as in "worse." To me, sex offenders are possibly worse than some murderers, since they ruin a person's life without ending it. The victim has to live with the psychological damage forever.Philaw wrote:I was going to as what could possibly be more reprehensible....then I decided it was a bad idea.

Pulling out a quote from Grover Cleveland, "This ship of democracy, that has weathered all storms, may fail due to the mutiny of its members!" I think that's how it goes.jaskat wrote:It's all Philaw's fault!!!! Assemble an angry mob and make him walk the plank! Mutiny! Viva la Revolucion!

That being said, don't make me whoop your ass like lenny did that little dude with the vaseline-filled glove.
I can quote Grover Cleveland at the drop of a hat. And Will Ferrel.
Nope, but I did pull out a quote from St. Augustine. I thought it was tactfully done. I totally should have pulled out the friendly crack dealer quote though, I probably would have made Georgetown.

I am jetlagged , unable to fall asleep though it's nighttime over here and can't stop thinking about law school admissions. I feel so bad for not having heard back from most schools and am seriously starting to doubt whether I will get into any of my top choices
USS optimism save me from drowning
Haha, sometimes I think of comparing you to Yoshida Shigeru (in a flattering way). You have the curious distinction of being the last poster on both the pessimism and the optimism threads. Congratulations on the juggling act!Oli wrote:I don't feel like searching...how were you compared to a retarded murderer managamy?
