I am getting so good at this updating thing! Many thanks to GiggleStar for the swearing pointers. Being me - I am such an adolescent - I taught the class (before the professor arrived) on how to swear! 
I had such a better day today! I think spending too much time at home sick - is bad...Not just the whole sick part, but it seems that being sick infects my brain and I start to feel incredibly isolated...Which I hate...Plus - I end up with raging insomnia and spend all night thinking I should be sleeping....Which I did last night and have been functioning on two hours of sleep today.
Life can be very strange at times - I got a very unexpected email from an old friend - which made me smile. I also have a habit of giving people names in my head to identify them..So - this morning was sarcastic psych boy (that I've seen in diapers on his mother's desk)...We now sit next to each other because we make fun of the same people...This morning's lecture was on attachment theory...I have always understood theories of infanticide, etc. within indigenous cultures as being more the norm than most would admit. My professor disagrees and I was too sick to fight with her this morning...But - I asked about the biological abilities of infants to smile, etc. as means of ensuring survival and how did that contrast with infanticide. Well - elephants don't practice it - so apparently humans don't...Whatever...But - sarcastic boy looks at me - and said "well, swift advocated eating the young to solve the irish problem!" to which I promptly snorted coffee from my nose (on him) and needless to say - we were the bad students today...Then we were walking to the other building for class and somehow continued the eating of the young...He understood completely - very funny boy! And smart...Then we talked lizards for a bit - and he too used to bury his pets to exhume them later for study of decomposition (which IS not a sign of being a serial killer or otherwise disturbed - I thought I was the only science geek that did that) He also got the reference to Maslow's heirarchy of needs with the sleeping lizard in front of the cricket...But - the entire time I'm talking to him (he is very funny and smart) all I could see was him in diapers (I feel so cheap and dirty!) So - I have to admit - it was a hysterically funny morning...
Then - onto american politics...nique ta politique! Bouncer boy is back!!! So, today's discussion...
Bouncer Boy: Hi Nina (oo - he remembered my name!)
Me: (don't call him bouncer boy or b2) Hey.
Bouncer Boy: How was your weekend?
Me: (no - I didn't send you my notes) Great - did I forget to send you my notes?
Bouncer Boy: Well - I didn't get them, but you seem like a really busy person with alot to do
Me: (flattery gets you NOWHERE - do you even know who Swift was?) Yeah, well I was sick over the weekend so I was in....I'm sorry - what was your name again?
Bouncer Boy: Mike, Matt, John (I have no idea what is response was - I wasn't paying attention). I worked at the bar all weekend, man it was busy!
Me: Oh, wow...
Bouncer Boy: Well - I didn't really have time to do my midterm...
Me: (And you are looking for me to do what?) It's tough to work and go to school (even though you only bounce in a bar TWO nights a week)....
Bouncer Boy: Well - I thought since you didn't send the notes, when you do - you can send me your midterm to help me with mine...
Me: (bouncer boy has ROCKS in his head). I'll send the notes and I'm still not doing your midterm...
Bouncer Boy: Well - I figured if you sent me yours, it wasn't like you were doing mine.
Me: There is a reason Swift advocated eating the young....
So - I am such a huge ass fucking dork as I had an incredibly amusing day! I am going to now take a nap, then finish my mid-term...I did get an A on my french midterm - and a B on Psych, and a B in Philisophy - but he scaled as I was the highest grade (I love being smart and I am fucking bragging!) I kind of ruined the curve for people, but all I care about is that he scaled my B to an A....So - that is another day in the life of Nina...I am seriously thinking of dropping a major, adding a second minor and then going to grad school...
SO thank you to everyone who has been sympathetic to me while sick, I did troll for pity and got lots!!! (woo-hoo - I'm blushing)....And - I am now feeling 17/29 human today....YAY!!!!

Love the private asides you thunk while saying stuff to Bouncer Boy.
Perhaps I'll do a lizard song for you at the big Hallowe'en gig we have bookedSaturday night. I don't see why not. After all, as a great (or mayhap just twisted) man once said:
I AM THE LIZARD KING! AND I CAN DO ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, so I have a thing for smart chicks.
I love reading your conversation transcripts.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I say you must go for it with sarcastic psych boy. I don't necessarily mean in terms of a relationship. But it's clear you do like him, and hey, you'd feel so dirty, it'd be incredible.
Okay, what the hell am I thinking posting all this?
