Ten things

[slashy]

Everyone's been doing this, and this was f***ing dificult to do, since I haven't really done stuff... and the stuff I do do, you all do...

Ten things I've done that you probably haven't:

1. Bought 11 page a day calendars just to read or use the stuff they have.

2. Taken a shower in my bathing suit with my sisters, in one of those big trash bins, in the patio, with water that came down from the ceiling (there was no water because of a hurricane and we were desperate.. and young)

3. Pretended to be guy online to see how many girls hit on me (Joey is a useful nickname).

4. Got freaked out so much by a movie, I cried and laughed hysterically for more than 1 hour.

5. Got accused of plagiarism because I wrote *too* well.

6. Got someone intentionally fired.

7. Carried out whole conversations with 2 other friends in Spanish & English, mixing languages every other word.

8. Had my graduation photographed, with an empty camera.

9. I still have our artificial Christmas tree up in our sitting room...

10. Fell asleep while trying to figure out the 10th thing I'd done that you problably haven't.

Oh the X-Mas Tree!!! *weeeeee* I'm not the only one then! It is almost the end of Feb 2005 and my tree is up as well. Not quite sure why beyond laziness, and the fact it is so huge, I'm trying to decide where to store it. Just had to comment. I'm Jeannine, I surf around the QAF journals.

Hey Jeannine!

Oh... I'm glad I'm not alone too. My mom is badgering me into taking it down but... ugh... it's an 8' monstruosity, and though we have the storage space, I do not have the will (or right now, the physical ability, I'm suffering from spasms and tense/hard shoulder/neck muscles).

Oh! And a QaF fan! here... I'm showing off a new icon I just got...

Oh yes, I love the icon!! I have my one&only, I like to go back to a posting and see where I am on the page quickly, boring huh??!!

It took me hours to think of things to put in that meme, and it seemed like everyone had better stories than me! *pout*

#5 makes me cringe, not because it happened to me, but because I accused someone of plagiarizing my work back around '99 and looking back on it, I don't think she did. I think it was just similarities in a fandom where they're bound to crop up anyway. She dropped out of the fandom almost immediately after that and I've always felt horrible about it.

Dude, #7. I've always wished I'd taken Spanish instead of French. It would've been far more useful.

Yeah, but this was a college professor. It was an English Lit class, that I took for the fun of it, and when I turned in a paper I did on EA Poe, she actually wrote on the essay "if you're gonna quote, make sure to use proper bibliography" or some crap like that.

I've never been more offended in my life. All I could think is that this professor thinks so little of her students, that she actually thought I'd plagiarised... I was cringing, thinking she could report me to the disciplinary committe.
