Which of these are you most likely to say?
- Ehhh, fack your mum.
- OH GOD. PENIS.
- May your brake pedals be eaten by acidic snails!
- I feel your obscene hardness grow beneath my palm.
- He was a punk, she did ballet, what more can I saaaay?
- Dork, you sand my toenails!
- You are all puerile and sophomoric. Perish.
- I could drive a Volvo through your vulva!


oh my god. i *have* to find an excuse to use these in daily conversation.

in other news, josie has neato things for auction, i am caught up on seagoth and comics and stuff, i am eating cheese, stark is not online, and i really need to wake up enough to work on my thesis.

i really just need someone to sit in the room and keep me on task, and let me bounce things off them when i need to. bleh.

a few requests... can anyone find me:
a book on learning styles - auditory, visual, kinesthetic - and how they affect the way we interact with the world.
a concise lj flamewar (either something easily formatted as text or that i can fit into my document as a picture/screencap)
12 extra hours in which to sleep

also, if you feel like giving me suggestions about which bits should go where, or if you just want to see a work in progress, feel free to read my thesis. i need to divide up the interviews into topics, as opposed to lumping them all together. my idea currently is to explain my theory on how online and offline are different (public body vs. public mind), which will involve some other theorists and a few interviews (although i'm not sure which ones), in the first section. follow that up by explaining that the practical application doesn't fit the strict theoretical boundaries. i'll probably stick in a history of internet communities here. then talk about how characteristics of each medium are being transferred to the other. discuss how letters (offline text) function differently from livejournal (online text). somewhere in there i need to talk about what is viewed as "real" and why - sebastian will probably go in this section.

edited to add: also need to talk about accountability, and whether people feel less accountable for things they say online (after all, it's not like you're saying it to the person's face, and your journal is a place for you to vent) or more accountable (everything you say is recorded, and due to archiving, it's recorded even if you delete it later). my assumption would be that you'd feel less accountable... it's eaiser to insult someone online because you're not in as imminent danger of a bloody nose.

well, fuck. i never finished setting my alarm, apparently. so instead of napping for an hour, going to two classes, and then going to the scene shop, i woke up at 4.30 when keith stopped by. ::sigh:: at least i got some nice back skritches out of the deal. need to email bob because i've now missed several of his classes in a row.

writing workshop thing at 7 that i plan on dragging my thesis to. keith also has a copy he's going to look over.

oops, forgot to post this.
