Busy Getting Ready for the Spring Semester

-
I've been working on syllabi, attending meetings, going to the dentist, and all sorts of fun stuff this week, so I've been away from the blogs.

But I DID purchase Photoshop yesterday, so I'm looking forward to some fun!

Anyway, here's a little something




You Are a Cupcake



Cute and fun, you never take life too seriously.

People are constantly surprised by how delightful you are.

Photoshop is addictive (but not as intuitive as you might imagine). Have fun!

I'm a Brownie:

"Decadent and intense, you aren't for the weakhearted. Those who can deal with your strong flavor find out how sweet you really are."

I'm not sure if this is complimentary or not.

Have fun with Photoshop!

Oh, and I'm cheesecake, which is sort of unfortunate, because I hate the stuff.

Love your header graphic, btw.

Ah, Photoshop...my beguiling, time-sucking, soft(ware) lover.

Get to work! Let's see some Dogs in Funny Costumes. Or Dogs in Space. Or Dogs as Prominent American Political Figures of the 1800's.

Chop, chop.

ah, Melanie. Dogs as prominent political figures of the 19th century? I can see it now. . . Dinah is Elizabeth Caddy Stanton and Alice is Susan B. Anthony! I could do literary figures, too. Emily Dickinson and Christina Rossetti! w00t!

Well, when you learn how to use the damn thing, will you come over here and show me. I'll expect to hear from you sometime in '09. There are way too many instructions.

Have a nice weekend, cupcake.

I have my eyes on Photoshop because I need another hobby. Well, I really don't, but it looks like so much fun.

(I was a s'more. I hate marshmallows. I'm going to pretend I'm a cupcake too.)

You will surely need one of those "Dummies" books, not that I'm saying anything against you at all, my friend... you know what I mean. The book helps.

Oh, and I'm cheesecake. Just as I suspected.

Oohhh....have fun with Photoshop. And please post some of your experiments.

I'm tiramisu. I don't even like tiramisu.

I want to be buttercream icing. Just icing.

Or...I just want to eat buttercream icing.

What do you know: I was exactly the dessert I would choose. Strong, simple fresh strawberries with real cream dribbled on them. Num, and this from the girl who just blogged about puking all over someone's yard today. So I must be on the mend if strawbabies sound good. . .

I am a brownie, as well; I really like the description of "not for the weak hearted."
Thanks for the silly fun. As for photocrack, my husband used it for the illustrations in a book he's soon publishing and he LOVES it. Really, that program is amazing. The Dummies book is a great idea, btw, because the instructions for that program are never ending...
Have fun.

I am strawberries with cream. "Fresh and uncomplicated, you are always enjoyed but oftern overlooked." WAAAAAA Overlooked? Caffeine or chocolate - decide between them? Impossible.

This was fun! I want Photoshop!

Embarrassing Personal Revelation #892

Joni Mitchell once wrote, "All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you, too." It didn't. My partner and I have separated. We tried. We really tried. I am embarrassed to admit this. I even considered erasing this blog from the internet so that I would not embarrass myself or her. But my whole purpose in blogging was to have some kind of a community where I could be open and explore my writing in a personal way. You have shared the good things with me. You have seen my ugly 5K Ass Project photos. It would feel cowardly to just disappear. Plus, I could use the support.

First comes love. . .

Then comes doing our level best to destroy the family. Susan and I sat cross-legged on our bed last night and swore our undying love for one another. No witnesses, no music, no officials; just two happy gals staring into one another's eyes. I am very happy. It's funny, wearing this ring has made me a little self-conscious; I spent the day feeling like I had a neon sign on my forehead that said, "Look at my finger!" My office mate Mark said he felt the same way after he got married. Symbols are powerful things for English majors. Now if only I could claim her on my health insurance. "We learn to love by loving."

Excerpt from student paper today: Being politically correct is a way that we speak here in America so that we don’t offend any whining babies. Only pathetically weak people that don’t have the balls to say what they feel and mean are politically correct [idiots]. Society and the media have made it to where people are now afraid to say what they actually mean. Comedians are now the only people who actually speak the truth about society. Except now even Saturday Night Live wont put anything that is not politically correct for fear that some left wing idiot will throw a fit a make NBC apologize. At this point in her reading of this cogent argument, my boss said, "does he realize you will be reading this paper?" Oh yes. And it gets better! Today’s society has become way to obsessed with how things need to be right and to make people feel better. The correct term these days for garbage man is a sanitation engineer. No, a garbage man is no kind of engineer he has no college degree
