I stole this from fecundmellow because, well, distraction and procrastination are good. (And how can I resist avidly reading a blog whose owner’s handle is “fecundmellow”? Faulkner lovers, unite!)

  6. Deodorant (hey, I know some folks that don’t)

6 pet peeves:

  1. Shopping in Terre Haute. I know you bitches see me and my big cart. Don’t look at me and continue to make no effort to move out of the way.
  2. Loud door-closing caused by not turning the knob before the door latch hits the jamb.
  3. Metallic clanging (pots, pans, etc.).
  4. Physically pushy/dominating/overpowering/invasive people. I am not a doll to be molded into your preferred positions of the evening, thankyou.
  5. Professors that say, “of course” or “it’s obvious that” when leading to a conclusion. If I already understood all the steps between the premise and the conclusion that are covered by your “of course”, I probably wouldn’t need to be in your class, now, would I?
  6. Really bad dialog in a story. I don’t care if it’s professional work, Internet-posted fiction, or a screenplay. It can be killed for me by bad conversation.

  2. For news that will help me decide about the Notre Dame REU

  1. Wouldn’t that be telling?
