how's your studying going guys? are you freaking out? burned out?

this is our stress relief thread....or our group anxiety thread, whatever..... :laugh: 😀

for those of you that have no idea what the mcat random threads are about, check out molly's explanation:

MollyMalone said:
It's basically a restaurant. That serves breaststicks. And lots of cute fruit and veggies. And is patronized by a HO. And Tucker Carlson. Vin Diesel, too. Lots of race car drivers eat here, as well. We're very well respected by the Amish... one girl in particular is here almost all the time.

The food is great if you're low on iron. It's not on the menu, but you can ask about the special secret garlic cure home recipe. One of the hostesses often makes weather predictions, but she's not always around. I think she has another job with the government. Or a government. Something like that. One of the other hostesses says "Bitch, please," a lot, but she's joking... don't take it personally.

Forget anything you've heard about the girl who died here from arsenic poisoning. That was a long time ago, and she's still alive, anyway... just busy so she doesn't come in as much. Besides, a little arsenic adds a lot of flavor to just about any dish.

Pretty flowers by the entrance, hey? Lilis, they are. Beautiful. And the music is totally hopping... we have our very own DJ. Looks a little like Brad Pitt.

I guess that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm usually in the corner booth over there drinking a nice glass of wine. You're welcome to join me, anytime. We're open 24/7.

My favorite. Did you write the rest of that or was it a copy/paste?

My old apt number was AK315. All my friends laughed (maybe jlw will get it).

Copy/paste from the link. BTW, +1 for your apt Nelly quote in the Random VIIIb (high MCAT) thread this morning.

lol, I hope you keep that avatar. No matter how much I like Fight Club, Nelly's facial expression in that picture (along with most of his others in general) is just priceless. lol 👍

😕 or maybe she won't..

Alaska? Arkansas? what does all of this mean?

it kind of looks like a tire size.

AR-15, AK-47, etc. Arkansas 15? Alaska 47? Are you kidding me? 😛

well AK-47 I know. are you insinuating that all Nellyvilleites know their guns?
 
Alaska 47. :laugh: I am way too tired. I am practically rolling around on the floor laughing at that.

LMAO! :laugh: I wish it was an AK-49 so I could go around yelling "Alaska San Francisco, ALASKA SAN FRANCISCO!" People wouldn't know what the hell is going on while I try gun shopping. :laugh:
 
OK, I am probably going to regret this tomorrow (and no, I haven't had anything to drink, just extremely tired and stressed).

I am interested in this guy. I am very shy (he is too). Yes, I am 28, but am not good at this type of situation. How can I express interest without being too forward? Or making things awkward? Thank you for your advice. 😳

Well if he is shy he's not going to make a move. Just do it. Remember: testosterone cannot be controlled :laugh:
 
No really, it's hard to control, unless you're a Buddhist ninja like me of course 😛

I'm not familiar with a girl asking a guy out since I'm not a girl, but I've had it happen to me before and it was odd. I didn't feel comfortable being the "hunted" :laugh: I'd say it took some balls. Ovaries* would be the correct term I suppose.

:laugh: Yeah I don't think I properly conveyed how shy I am. NO WAY am I going to ask him out. I am at the trying to strike up a conversation stage. 😳 Actually, even if I weren't so shy, I wouldn't ask a guy out - I am very traditional/conservative about that type of thing.

Anyway, yeah, I'm going to ask him questions about himself (I am genuinely interested! 😀 ) and make lots of eye contact. I think that will be a good start. 😉

Yeah but you've never heard of a guy complaining that he got raped, have you? 😛

Okay, so I misunderstood. I assumed you knew this person like you work with him everyday and are like co-workers and stuff. If that was the case (speaking for myself), I've felt more comfortable being invited to a party with the person (social environment) vs. like a couple dating.

You win this time T. This time...

Edit: I also have a thing against going out with people who I see at work (at the time it was research) everyday. Just mixing that with my outside time doesn't sit well for me. It works for others, though.

Yeah, that's a really good suggestion too.
 
Night folks. Morning will come so soon. Two more days until the weekend! I was supposed to be on call this weekend but got it switched. Thank goodness. OK, so in less than 48 hours I will be home and get to rest.

I missed Lost tonight! Can look forward to watching that tomorrow. I wish I had one of those fancy Tivo/DVD combos where you can record shows onto a DVD. Oh well.

LOST was EXCELLENT! Good night! I'm trying to go to bed soon, too. 😴
 
Okay, with this post, I get back to page 1 of the member's list. I have no idea how Ana passed me, but more importantly, how I fell to page 2! 😡 😉
 
Woah, Beary's going to bed before me 😱

Yeah, it's what the autopsy service has done to me. 😱

Anyway, on a funny note to go to sleep with:

Oh yea, Lost was extra good because the Orlando Magic won on a game winning shot from Hedo Turkoglu (he's Turkish if you couldn't tell 😉 ). Here's an extra post for a little more room. G'night.

so this is why beary's been pushing Tee to come to A^2.

girl, you should have said something. I'd have backed off. :meanie: 😀
 
seriously- tell him "we should do lunch sometime" and then make sure you guys actually pick a time/day. it's a start.

depends on the specific situation... but randomly going somewhere on the spot 👍

I've costanza'd many girls in my day :laugh:
 
:laugh: that's what I was thinking! I was like "Wow! What did UMP and RAD do to piss off beary????!!!!"

:laugh: I seriously didn't even notice. I just thought it was funny. Now I do find it kind of disturbing though, a penguin wiping its butt on Elmo.

I am very attached to Elmo through my niece. My niece LOVES Elmo.

OK I really need to go to bed. 😱 Getting up in less than 5 hrs. Faboo.
 
I feel absolutely terrible this morning. Literally do not have the strength to walk. I can't imagine calling in sick on this rotation but I am afraid I have to today. :barf: :scared: So feverish too, and my chest hurts. Well that is my whiney post of the day.

I actually am so scared to call that I might just email. Anyway.
 
Well it seems that my work for the morning is covered without having to dump on anybody. Since I have to go to the hospital later on today for these **** ABx, I can do some placentas then. For now, it's back to bed with me. The dieners in the morgue are so nice they may even try to protect me from pages (so I can hopefully sleep). I feel really guilty but there is nothing I can do about it. Also, hopefully getting some rest gets be up and working faster. OK.

Have a good day folks.
 
palindromes

Wow you are good. I didn't get that at first but when you said palindromes I took a deeper look and saw it.

I think a conservative would probably answer that the thing they have in common is that they talk about nuts and they think dems. are nutty and insane. hahaha!! I however don't think such but I don't discuss politics.
