[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is wrong... by about four hours.

[Guest echtrae]

< married a college dropout

v will protest <'s statement, but < has proof

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Made a statement of fact I'm sure.

< Has a degree she's not using.

V Thinks after all that work, < should do something with it

[redsliver]

V thinks < needs hard work and patience.

[dazzledfirestar]

< Changed majors from Education to Theatre when she realized she didn't like other peoples children.

V Wonders what one can do with a theatre degree.

< Is always the brains of the operation, even when < doesn't know what's going on.

V thinks < may be overzealous

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Shouldn't underestimate the amazing power of the zealot.

< Is getting very full on curried rice noodles, chicken fried rice and ginger beef.... OOoo! Shrimp! *runs off*

V Is having an attack of food jealousy

[redsliver]

^ lives in Alberta, there is no way she is eating great shrimp

< was confused when my Ontario roommate was impressed that the cheap fish he bought in halifax was half as expensive and twice as good as what he bought back home.

V is jealous of <'s access to seafood.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is dead right.

< Could just hit the other coast... it's only a sixteen hour drive through the mountains... and it's snowing.

< Will put up with less than stellar seafood for now.

V Is laughing at <s logic.

[redsliver]

^ should learn that the Pacific has shittier fish than the Atlantic anyways.

< had really fresh Pacific salmon once and it was terrible.

V thinks < may just be patriotic, but instead for countries, for oceans

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is very loyal to his ocean.

< Agrees about the salmon... but < doesn't really liked salmon when it's cooked anyway, but the sushi in Vancouver is fabulous.

< eats very well, not as healthy as < ought to though

V could never give up V's edible vices

[Guest echtrae]

^ has a healthy appetite

< has had to modify eating habits years ago due to physical constraints

v thinks that < actually means restraints

[redsliver]

^ is clearly talking about a stomach clamp.

< slept in, missed first class, still half sleeping.

V thinks <'s tiredness is probably <'s fault.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Probably has a good reason to be tired.

< Is always tired at this point, and will be for the rest of her life!

V Thinks 18yrs will be long enough to be tired.

[quamp]

^ Well, these days, with kids going to college, it's no longer 18; more like 24.

< Heard that more than 15% of adults live with a parent still.

V Is glad that V doesn't live with V's parents.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is right.

< Thinks that distance is the best thing for the child/parent relationship.

V Lived with parents til an abnormally old age.
