I just finished 2 liters of Diet Coke

Is that bad? I bought it this morning and started drinking it at about 9:30am, now it's 5:43pm. Gotta get some more!

And here's one of Me and Becca Lu working w/ Dr. Swaim. We brought him in specifically for that wetlab. He wasn't on the faculty at KSU. (Charlie's in the background though he's really not worth mentioning, oops)

Boy Nicknames

so since I was a little girl I've been coming up w/ some great nicknames I think. in elementary school I nicknamed Jeff Myers 'Tree Frog' and it stuck all the way through high school. I also nicknamed Charles something 'Booger Brains.' As I got older, mainly by college, everyone got a boy nickname, well sometimes they had 'boy' in them, there was Stalker Boy, Nirvana Boy, Skater Boy, Hman, BBD, Psycho Sam... I'm having trouble remembering.

Anyway, then there was The Boy. He's the only one of these I've mentioned that I actually dated. Big mistake! He was a 'tool' everyone told me when he visited me in vet school. I guess I knew but I was fine w/ it for awhile, until he visited me that weekend in Kansas. It was my birthday weekend and we went to a party I think Saturday night. That's where everyone called him a tool. I was hanging out more w/ my roommate, that's another story, and I was trying to avoid being associated with the tool. On Sunday we went out for breakfast and we ended up sitting next to some other vet students that were friends w/ my roommate. They had some bacon sitting there on a plate and The Boy asked them if they were going to eat it and they said 'No go ahead.' So The Boy took the bacon and ate it up. I was very embarrassed and grossed out by this, I think also because The Boy had gained some weight since I'd last seen him a few months prior and he wasn't so tall so a little weight is a lot on a short guy. On the way home I dumped him. I planned on it anyway I think but the bacon incident really gave me the courage to dump him and then drive 2+ hrs to the airport and send him on a plan back to MA. It wasn't fun but well worth it.

Anyway, the point is, today he's been named Bacon Boy. I'm not sure what took so long to come up w/ it. He came up in a conversation w/ Greg today who always refers to the bacon story when talking about him and in replying I just wrote the best nickname ever:

I can't help myself Part II

So awhile back I posted about my stats professor from Fall 2006 and how I thought I ran into him and how I freaked out about it. Last week I think I was talking to one of our technicians and she was saying she had a biostats final and I asked who her professor was and it was the same guy and then we freaked out about it like 12 year olds and made all kinds of inappropriate comments. Then I told her how he had this webpage w/ pictures and stuff so I sent her the link. TMI!

RAAM (Race Across America)

So my friend Mariana and her gf Andrea are doing this crazy bike race across the US called RAAM. Here's their team page, Xtreme4. They also want people to go green for their race week. You can go pledge to do it online. Easy for me, I don't have a car.
