Bathroom Doors
I don’t know about men’s bathroom stalls, but in the girl’s bathroom stalls at school, there tend to be adverts and flyers taped onto the doors so you can read them while you’re sitting on the toilet. I don’t mind it, I kind of like it. Sometimes they are job postings (that look kind of sketchy to me…or too good to be true), sometimes they are the kind that say “Go Green!”. This particular door, however, had a pen handwritten line on it.
Fear not, you will someday be all you’ve ever dreamed <3
and then someone busted out her pen and wrote “Thanks
”

Of course, I took a picture of it with my cellphone cam. ^_^
It made me feel good at first…but then skeptical. I mean, how does she know? She doesn’t know me…or everyone that reads it. So, it was only good for a brief moment…but in that moment, I felt some weight lifted from my shoulders.
But then it came back down.
While doing some research…
“…female game players attend to self and others during game play. Gamers playing with a same-gender avatar experienced greater connectedness with game play and competitiveness” (Eastin & Griffiths, 2006).
Hm…..I wonder what the percentage is for girls to play healing classes. I’m not so sure about the same-gender avatar business though. I don’t think it matters. I don’t think a guy who chose to play a female avatar is going to be any more competitive playing a male avatar.
I don’t like research. I don’t like citing. This is tedious. Why can’t I just go to school and learn. Must I prove what I’ve learned (and then promptly forget a week later anyway)? Or show that I know how to follow rules set by people I don’t care for?
Praise!
I just read an email I got this morning (while I was working) from the professor of the class I have tonight (that prohibits me from passing out candy) and she’s canceled class! Not because it’s Halloween today, but a cryptic “Sorry I can’t make it to class”. Also, the take home midterm and the Buddhism quiz I was supposed to take today (that I’ve been freaking out and studying in between work schools) has been pushed back a week.
Praise the higher power!
Lawrence of Arabia
I got to see about 2 hours of this during my Arab Society and Culture class. I know it’s a classic, and I saw it when I was little, but I don’t remember a thing about it, so it was nice. Didn’t Peter O’Toole win an Oscar this year? He’s so young in the movie and I like the way he talks. Very calm and poised, but passionate at the same time. I didn’t get to finish it though; I’m pretty sure we have the dvd somewhere around my house.
Now I must study for my religions class….Hinduism!
