so my cousins that met us in london last jan. and in china in august, are meeting me in paris next month!
i love the way we can meet half way across the world on a whim. i love my life. i love the travel. i am one lucky mofo.
now i'll get to see all the things i didn't have time for last time. although last time i had a week, whereas this time i'll have 4 days. but faben is pretty stoked, even if she doesn't show it. it's no big deal if you grow up traveling all over the world, but she totally has the travel bug too. that is why i can use it as punishment when she fucks up at school.
i have to work on a way to get more vacation time out of my job. the measly 3 weeks is not enough. i need at least 8. the year has just begun.
Aurevoir Peaches!

Deinspiration #4just because your mom gave you a dictionary two years ago and you throw as many adjectives as possible into a sentence, does not mean you know how to write, YVONNE!
good writing doesn't come from convoluting the english language into this unbearable garbage that you shit, every day, onto my screen. describing everything you see and hear with those big words you learned for the SAT's, does not constitute a good piece of work. it just means youre trying too hard to appear like you have some talent. trying to sound deep and cerebral just looks plain stupid. you sound like a prison inmate, YVONNE, who spews a lot of words with nothing to say.
interesting people are interesting becuase they show interest in things other than themselves. theyre interesting because theyre educated and experienced and can form opinions and hold discussions about things that require intellect. you, on the other hand, try to find 75 different ways to analyze yourself when there's nothing of interest to analyze!
why do you keep trying so hard? can't you just accept the fact that you really are not as special as you think you are? and can't you see that the really smart people of the world would never, ever, consider you anything more than a wannabe intellectual? and don't forget, you still are a fat heffer, so even the dumb skinny crowd wouldnt want you.

Deinspiration #3so, you think that by writing these deinspirations, youre being some kind of rebel? you think youre somehow unique and different and special? here's a news flash, YVONNE, youre ordinary and boring. youre about as unique as everybody else. this little protest does not make you appear smart or witty, nor clever. going against the grain is not a passport to coolness.
remember, standing on the other side of the tracks doesn't mean youre exotic, it just means that you have to watch your fat ass so that it doesn't get plowed by the train. youre still a lameo, accept it.
-The REALITY
on a serious note--i'm still at work. been here 11 hours. im so tired and i have a headache. i don't know if i'll make it to the party. :(

Hey YVONNE -
It was totally cool running in to you in the elevator today - it was a nice suprise! I don't know if you go up to the science building a lot, but we're moving up there in a month or so (to 6thfloor), so maybe I'll see you there sometimes.=)
As I like to say when I'm feeling demotivated- That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.

Deinspiration #2saying youre big boned or that it's in your genes, or you're just thick and not fat, is a complete lie, YVONNE. in actuality youre fat AND lazy AND most likely a slob.

(e:kookcity2000) was quoting Bob Dylan:
"You make love just like a woman, but you break just like a little girl"
But explaining what he meant by that is better left to mr. 2000 <g>

i'm not sure what you mean, kook, when you say "break just like a little girl"? just how exactly do little girls break? are little girls known to break easily? and what exactly is breaking?

Re: Sabbatical.
It is usually given every 6 years to tenured faculty. The idea is that you should be able to spend time exploring new ideas. Typically, you go to some other university which agrees to pay you half your salary; that, combined with the half from your own school lets you work a whole year somewhere else.
As far as I know, you can't just sit at home for 6 months and do nothing. The sabbatical plan has to be approved by the department chair (and maybe higher up).
sabbatical is pretty common in academics... I think you can have a full year off, at half pay, or half a year off at full pay. I'm not sure how often you get it though. And you're "supposed" to use the time to do research... but how great would that be...
That would be insane. A whole year off, on the dole? Haha.
hey jason, did you hear about the resolution part of the norwegian gov't was trying to push a while back that would allow each and every single citizen to have a year long paid sabatical every 10 years or so? it didnt go through, but could you imagine?
note to self: try very, very hard to learn norwegian.
Well I see that mike and myself are not the only one who saw The OC last week or at least know about that saying. It is interesting that you meet your cousins in other countries so it is kinda a family reunion to. I'm sure you will have a great time.
8? Who do you work for, the Gov't? =)
Paris huh, need a steward, luggage handler, cabin boy?
Seriously, that is incredibly cool. That is a year's worth of travel destinations that most just dream of.
i love the aurevoir Peaches!
