The People Above And Below You

[redsliver]

^ still uses letter grades.

< knows that letter grades are dirty dirty creatures, too arbitrary

V prefers percentile grades

[AmyMcClair]

^ has a good point.

< would prefer % grades, but letter grades keep < GPA at 3.99-something or other.

<is not bragging about the last part.

<wishes grades meant nothing.

v has no care for grades whatsoever, because they are arbitrary and capricious.

[redsliver]

^ doing better than <

< currently hovering around a 3.5

V knows that grades don't matter when all is said and done

[AmyMcClair]

^ has the right idea.

< has less education than ^ anyway.

< has plenty of oppertunities ahead to lower GPA

v follows puppy logic: Who cares about grades? I have food and toys; I'm happy.

[Nanaea]

^ Is very wise.

< Thinks puppy logic is strangely similar to child logic.

V Wants a puppy now.

[redsliver]

^ is planning my dinner now...

< prefers puppy to dog as the meat is breaks apart in the mouth easier.

V more of a cat person

[AmyMcClair]

^ is odd and should move to Korea.

< is a cat person.

< has never eaten a pet.

v wants to be a vegitarian after this conversation is over.

[Nanaea]

^ Thinks I squick easily.

< Was a vegetarian once, for about six months.

< Convictions were not strong enough and < was swayed back to the dark side by Trae offering < a big, juicy olive burger.

V Is hungry now.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Should know at this point < is almost always hungry!

< Isn't spending near enough time online nowadays

V Thinks that's a shame!

[Nanaea]

^ Shameful. tsk. tsk.

< Missed Daz again.

V Will console <.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Should feel better.

< Pats ^'s shoulder and says "there there, there there."

V Is unimpressed with <'s comforting abilities

[quamp]

^ Knows she should save consoling ability for her child.

< Only consolation I can give here is that we're all a big happy dysfunctional family.

V Will argue with < about being dysfunctional.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Knows that we could only be referred to as dysfunctional

< Is well aware of the dysfunction!

V Is proud of the dysfunction.

[Guest echtrae]

^ knows < fairly well apparently

< feels no shame with being part of a dysfunctional group

v wishes the group was actually family

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Shameless

< Has enough dysfunction in her own family to drag everyone else into it!

VCan never have enough dysfunction

[Guest echtrae]

^ knows the truth about dysfunctions

< doesn't believe there is a limit to dysfunction

v thinks there should be a limit

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Thinks limits are no fun at all.

< Thinks that there is a limit to dysfunction, but knows we will never reach it as it is sooo far off.

V Wants to see the limit someday.

[Guest echtrae]

^ is optimistic about < visual range

< is far-sighted

< believes that the limit may be that fuzzy object on the horizon

v isn't far-sighted

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is wrong.

< Is so bloody blind without her glasses it's sad.

V Is convinced that blurry thing is the limit.

[Guest echtrae]

^ doesn't know the meaning of far-sightedness, or at least misread <'s previous post

<

v doesn't see the humor

[Nanaea]

^ Knows < became immune to ^'s humor long ago.

< Would be lost w/out <'s contacts/glasses because < is so near-sighted.

< Is now recalling the old Mr. Magoo cartoons.

V Was picturing Sibyll Trelawney instead.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Knows me far too well!

< Is very happy that she FINALLY got a new chapter of the Mary Sue virus up and running!!

V is off to read it!

[Nanaea]

^ Not quite.

< Already read it and reviewed.

< Is now tapping fingers impatiently for the next chapter.

< Hopes it will involve smut. (hint, hint )

V Will consider my suggestion.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is reading my mind again!

< Is sure there will be smut soon.

V Is rubbing hands together gleefully!

[Nanaea]

^ Knows me too well!

< *rubbing hands together gleefully*

V Is laughing now.
