The Duke Nukem-Out: Damn... I'm looking good!

[Milady]

Oh! I'm suddenly reminded that I'm supposed to ask what Band-aids are called in the UK. My clinical instructor seemed to be under the impression that they were called plasters, based on old medical remedies, and I told him I would ask my boyfriend. Of course, I forgot.

[Angelus!]

okay...so I just applied for 2 new jobs.... hope someone gets in touch soon u.u

anyway, did I misspelled "ignorant"? or is it right that way?

[Milady]

I might manage to keep them up for all of ten minutes before I freaked out and took them down. I don't like pictures of myself. Baby Cat perched on my back with me facing away is the closest I'll post.

By the waaaaaaay, speaking of posting cute pictures, a university friend had a giant microbe at her house! I thought of Trypanosoma Brucei and burst into spontaneous laughter.

I know how you feel. But it would be super cute.

My sister bought her boyfriend the giant (around 20") herpes one for her boyfriend. It's super cute. My T. brucei is only about 7".

I'd call them plasters, yeah. But I've heard band-aids being used too. American influences, and so on~

For some reason I always write 'mum' as 'mom'. It really annoyed my teachers, because all of my other spelling is very British.

That's right.

[Inferno.]

'mum', it's 'mam'.

[Elin]

Bulbasnow?

WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE.

Just wait 'til you see the horrible fusion of Geodude and Slowbro known as...Dudebro.

I'll report back to him, then.

He's so funny. He's either flaming gay or he just has that manner of speaking and a very feminine personality. But yesterday was the best first-day-of-a-new-clinical-rotation that I've ever had. And he brought us oatmeal cookies for breakfast. Delightful.

'mum', it's 'mam'.

I think 'mam' is unbelievably cute. I have to fight a grin whenever anyone says it. I have the nicest friend from Newcastle who says it all the time, and I guess when someone you like uses a word a lot, you tend to start to like that word too.

Maybe I should start saying mam too. Then again, I don't even say mum. I've called my parents my their first names for as long as I can remember. It freaks out my little brother's girlfriend so much.

[Milady]

I cringe slightly at the very idea of calling my parents by their names. How very strange!

Calling relatives by their names isn't something I do, well I mean grandad/mam/dad. All the rest are called by their names, but I couldn't imagine calling my parents their first names. It'd be weird.

Whatever floats your boat.

Also I think the mam thing is a North East thing.

And then they both lived happily ever after. With a cute kitten friend.

Which reminds me of the scene in Confessions with the cute little kitten. "Mew!" *Boy throws rock* Milady ->

The interview would scare me to death, also. I'm sure your tutor has a much better idea of your abilities than I do, so if (s)he thinks you'll do well, I'd encourage you also! And imagine what a wonderful lesson in self-confidence it would be if you won. But of course, it's your choice, and I'll speak nothing more of it, lest I annoy you to death.

Bulba bulba bulbaaa snow?

I imagine the kitten wrestling with a pair of frilly panties that are on his head. Cutest sex scene ever.

I remember thinking that while I was translating it. It's like...a pretty brutal, unpleasant movie, but all the human on human aggression just passes straight through me. Then someone hurts a cat, and suddenly I'm offended.

There was this legendary guy at our university about three years ago who won the all Britain Japanese speech contest just after graduating. He's famous around the department for being completely fluent when he returned from his year abroad, accent and all. My teacher told me that someone like him only really comes along once every ten or fifteen years of teaching. And then said she was surprised at meeting me, because she thought I could be just like him. It's like....yeaaaaaaah, thanks, but no. Suffice to say that teacher thinks a little more of me than she should. But thank you! I'm still considering whether or not to apply~

I imagine a little snowdrop flower on his back. The first flower poking through the snow as it starts to melt. Cuuuuute.

Probably. I call my mom a different title every day. mam, mom, moms, mother, or a random nickname it kills boredom

[Elin]

Aww, that's adorable. Homemade?

And we had a Chinese teacher who was like...seriously the most camp person ever. He was lovely, but I don't think he could have been more of a stereotype had he tried, and he was kind of infamous around the department. Then one day he came out with some anecdote about his wife while explaining how he had learned English. And the second the words 'my wife' left his lips, you could almost feel this huge shockwave go around the class. Like...everyone blinked simultaneously, wondering if they had heard him right.

[Angelus!]

okay...I need an opinion.... If you were me (which luckly you are not) , which of the following jobs would you rather be in:

1) Airport Polylingual Recepcionist - 6 Hours of work (which of you actually work for about 3 hours), a nice salary....and get to work with ignorant people, hypocrite people, stupid people, and with people trying to humiliate ya or step on ya (Ya, the "bosses" are all like that)

2) Magazine Reseller - Work 8 Hours, work with hot chicks, and get an average payment of 1k per week

3) Freelancer Graphic Designer - Work at the confy of your home any time you want



I'm asking cause those are my 3 options right now
