  Of course I was kidding.  And the only people I knew with such personas 
were in early high school.

  No..... there is a guy...... on another mailing list...... who 
fragments his thoughts...... with hundreds of dots......  Gives me a 
giant...... headache.......

  What a nice roommate.  My suitemate snuck into my room at three am to 
try to finish a paper.  She was still banging away at the keyboard 
when I left at eight.  She does this with every major paper and 
exam... starts them the night before when she's had all semester to 
prepare.  I'm guilty too, I do the same thing.  Yet she recently took 
from 7PM to 4AM to write a four page paper which she had already 
outlined and researched.  A little slow, the girl is. The more I avoid 
schoolwork, the more negative I become.  

Then i told him about this mailing list and the picnics

  That's terrible!!!  Just give some sinisterines his name and address, 
and we'll take care of him... heh heh heh (insert sinister laugh here)

  My friend and I found this tiny book called "The Little Red Schoolbook" 
at her university library a couple years ago.  It contained explanations 
of drugs and sex and whatnot using the slang that was current at the time 
of publication.  My favorite bit was on "dirty old men," who were 
explained away as generally harmless and usually lonely, horny people.  
We shared this with our friends at work, and we all laughed hysterically 
together.

  Now I will go eat breakfast and begin my studies.  As I write my 
loooong paper about John Donne, I will listen to DOW.

  XOXO to all of you, and apologies for my negativity.  After finals, I 
think the majority of this list will return to happy bunnydom.

  Love,
