Making a bluegrass compilation for one of my instructors, and I need suggestions. Obviously AKUS will be well represented, but what else is good for a beginner? His idea of bluegrass is trucks and Republicans. When I told him it’s more like “my baby’s buried by the mountain stream and my daddy’s in jail for murder,” he said, “So they just keep singing about...

In answer to my previous post: →
#2 is the false one. Please, like I would flirt with Mr. Harvard. Dude has so much privilege I can smell it from 20 minutes away. He gels his hair and speaks like a caricature of an old-money Harvard grad (I’m going to start keeping a list of things he has actually said in casual conversation) and his last name has an accent mark in it and he wants to go to the Middle East in order to help...

Other things I did at CELTA today:
One of these is false, and the others are true. Guess. 1. I had a lengthy debate with two professors and three fellow students about whether zombie readiness plans are necessary, and what the best procedures would be. 2. I flirted with a Harvard grad in French, and then with one of my students in Spanish. (Oops.) 3. I explained the term “bloodplay” to a professor and fellow...

I would like totally marry you. =D” …Um, okay? Great? It’s such...

Adventures of a Fangirl in CELTA: part 3
This one goes out to all you Saula fans out there. My instructor gave us a list of made-up words. One of the words was “pawler.” …CELTA doesn’t think “Pawler” is a word, you guys.

Adventures of a Fangirl in CELTA:
Instructor: Write down a lexical set (a list of words that all share a common theme). For example, things you'd find in a kitchen, or things you'd find in a classroom, or things to do with cars.

Instructor: Mindy, what did you come up with?
Me: ...Cup, plate, knife...
Instructor: I already said that. Something else.
Me: ...Pen, paper, whiteboard...
Instructor: Stop using my examples!

My Rules of Ethical Fangirling
zeggy: silverqueen: zeggy: These were designed with Anderson Cooper in mind, but they’re general enough to apply to anyone, I think. I should also add that if you feel they’re too restrictive (or loose), I’m not going to judge you. This is just what makes me, personally, feel not-icky about my fannish activities.

because I just found it again and okay We kept having these conversations of, “I just can’t find it. Nothing is sad enough. Nothing is resounding. I’m not able to connect with these things I’m singing about,” which is a very empty feeling. “Nothing is sad enough.” And like, the rest of it, but mostly that. Gah.
