For Those Who Care
« on: July 12, 2006, 03:33:26 PM »
Okay, I know I've been a bit absent lately.  I've been...distracted.  

But for those who care, the latest news in my life is that I'm not moving to California.  I was notified yesterday that I've been admitted to the Masters program in English at BYU, so I'll be staying in Orem.  It's not as good a program, but all things considered I think staying is going to be the best decision for me.  

So yay.

Mistborn Llamas, how do y'all feel about me staying in the group?

I'm guessing that that last sentence means everyone in Utah there should be decidedly happy that you'll be around for a while longer.

But hey, there may be some interesting changes in the coming year that will greatly surprise, annoy, perturb, and just plain stretch the fabric of everything you knew to be real!

Probably announced officially in a few months, until then, be perturbed!

Boy, I'll say surprising.  Good word Sprig.  I'll go so far as to say "shocked and amazed" at the "luck" MsFish had to have to get herself into the Masters writing program at BYU.

Not really.  From reading her geekgirl pennings I'd say she deserved it, nay, earned it even.

That's great, MsFish! It may not be as good a program, but I think you'll use it to your advantage and will be able to afford it better to boot. I'm so happy for you.

Thanks, all.  

And I am planning to get back on the Geek Girl train too...I've got some columns half written.  That's my new goal--actually getting them written and submitted.

Didn't mean it in that tone Scar, but that she got quite lucky with someone dropping out at the last minute so she could get in.

I know you didn't mean it in that tone.  I just like twisting words now and then.  I think she knew you didn't mean it in that tone either. And I think she knew that I knew that ...
You get what I mean right?

I knew you knew that.
Oh, I know that. AND I knew you'd know I'd know you knew.
But I didn't. I only knew that you knew that I knew. Did you know that?

For the record, I knew it all, right from the start. Even the part about knowing who knew that I knew that they know what he meant.

Oh yeah, and, as somewhat of an afterthought, good work MsFish.

Well I for one am thrilled that this has worked out so well, and there's a LOT to be said for not being 50,000 more in debt, not to mention other perks of staying in the Provo area!  Congratulations!
