Things that piss me off, vol. 39
valerina:
Those girls (are there guys that do this too? probably) who use the fact that they’ve known your boyfriend longer than you have to their advantage. They push the limits of friendship to see just how much they can get away with. They think they’re special because they got there first.
I have never understood this.
One such offender kissed my (now ex) boyfriend on the mouth in front of...

First client of clinic:
Didn’t show up. Forgot about our meeting. Used the incredibly sweet Portuguese interpreter to explain to her that these meetings are important and we needed to reschedule. She wanted to do Wednesday and flipped out when she realized I wouldn’t be able to do that.
This semester is gonna be FUN.

In Which Friends Give Me an Ego Boost
Darth Vader (name changed to reflect most awesome theater role of all time): james is coming home, tho
Me: i did see that
Me: i'll be moot courting most of that weekend, but i'm gonna at least bake
Darth Vader: ah
Darth Vader: YES
Darth Vader: ah
Darth Vader: (YES!)

Me: i can easily do that without chocolate
Darth Vader: shut
Darth Vader: the
Darth Vader: fridge door
Me: hahahah THEY LOOK SO GOOD
Darth Vader: ok, we need to have a talk
Darth Vader: how likely would it be that i can just marry you WAIT HEAR ME OUT and we'll have a cold, distant marriage, but you cook for me and you can still be with andrew?
Me: hahahahaha

Darth Vader: voice!
Darth Vader: oh man

Darth Vader: if they ever remake Se7en, I want to be gluttony

Recommendation
brokencistern:
Law students: Get a pet. Get one now. Run, don’t walk, to the nearest shelter, and get yourself a dog. I promise, it will change your life for the better.
This. Seriously. Marley is my constant study buddy during finals, and after a rough day, there is nothing like sitting on the floor and letting him kiss me until I feel better. Even just remembering the greater good...

Sick Blog '10-'11: The Final Post
So, I’ve sort of been sick since November. One thing after another after another. If you’ve been following me since then, you know this and I apologize. But this is the last time I’ll be talking about it, because as of Wednesday, this becomes Post-Op Blog 2011.
The kidney stone that was the ultimate diagnosis, and that has been causing me all this pain for two months, is...

because according to ABC this morning, we’ve received about three times as much snow so far this winter than we usually see the entire winter. And it’s not even freaking February yet. So this isn’t just a case of us being whiny. We’re getting hammered over here.
However, I’m a student and I got a SNOW DAY, so I’m not angry. :)

ANDREW PASSED!!!
Your good vibes worked wonders! He is now part of the way to being a certified actuary. Now the worst part is driving home in the snow!

I still get emails from my undergrad.
“The College of New Jersey will have an early dismissal on Wednesday, January 26th. Classes and offices will be dismissed at 1:30 PM.”
As I sit at my desk at clinic, F-5ing the law school’s webpage about once every two minutes to see if the message FINALLY tells me to go home.
My undergrad is a dirty tease.

I CAN'T STOP EATING
I’m having one of those moments where I eat one thing and am IMMEDIATELY hungry again. Already consumed a bag of microwave popcorn and a Weight Watchers frozen BBQ chicken pizza. Halfway through an Arnold Palmer. About to go get a peanutbuttercrackerpack. Stalked out activity tables in the atrium to see if any of them had chocolate on them.
I NEED AN INTERVENTION!

Worst text message ever
From a number not in my address book:
“Hey Lili, it’s Kate. I was wondering if you had a minute today - I have a question about a family law issue for the website I work on. Give me a call!”
I’ve gone to Catholic school my whole life. I’m surrounded by Irish Catholic girls all day every day. I know about 25 people named Kate, no joke. I don’t even know if...

Seriously considering quitting my job.
Before you ask, no, it’s not a full-time job. I’m a research assistant for the alumni office at my school. But I don’t do research. I do their bidding.
My job has become increasingly frustrating, mainly because although I work for an assistant dean and director of the school, I report directly to their administrative assistant, who has become insufferable. She’s a...
iseteatri asked: Okay, I can feel better about saying this now: I want a Kindle too. I was vehemently opposed to them when they first came out because I was an english major and obvi they were the demise of literature. But now that I live in a city and have to take public transit, I stare jealously at the people who are one-handing it while still maintaining balance and control, and not having to risk life and...

You know what I'm over?
Kindle* hate. Not indifference. Indifference is fine. I’m just done with the hate.
I got a Kindle ages ago, when they were still $300+, and it was one of the best investments I’ve made. Here’s why:
I read the same damn books that many people read. The words are the same on a screen or a page. I don’t miss the smell of books or the tiny type; I never really liked it....

Judging 1Ls all day.
On purpose! Their big moot court competition is today and I get to judge instead of compete. My coach named their doctor Lili. I was flattered. It’ll also make today funny, despite getting up at 6:20 and standing in the freezing cold for my train.
Rest assured, 1L Tumblr friends - I’ll be nice to them thinking of you. :)
Enjoy your Saturdays!

Some people don't like The Knot.
Backstory: Yesterday, when discussing my, erm, habits regarding The Knot, Redheaded LSBFF was alerted to the website of another crazy bridezilla we know... only to find that Redheaded LSBFF was listed as being in the wedding party. She had not previously been notified of this rather important fact. After a scuffle, the website was removed, people were called, and we didn't get to see it before it was pulled from their URL. Oh, but it still existed on The Knot. So I helped Redheaded LSBFF find it.
Redheaded LSBFF: i found [redacted]'s website
Redheaded LSBFF: i decided i don't want to get married
Me: it's just lovely isn't it? lol
Redheaded LSBFF: i will tell people to send in their presents
Redheaded LSBFF: and we will all go to the bar
Redheaded LSBFF: that's all
Me: that sounds like a fun wedding.
Me: i'd totally go
Me: maybe some blanket forts?
Redheaded LSBFF: if the bar says it's okay, sure

Thanks, Tumblr. :)
I was super bummed out before about that damn C+, but your reinforcement and kind words helped out a lot. I’m smart, and AWESOME (thank you Lacey), and damnit I’m quite good at law school. It barely bumped my GPA. And I can’t worry about it anymore. I came home to a supportive mother and a bag of movie theater butter popcorn and a large goblet of wine and DVR’ed...

I did. It was apparently just as brutal as I thought it was. It doesn’t bring down my GPA any (unless the calculations are off), but C+ looks damn ugly on my transcript for a four-credit course.

Life imitating Tumblr... imitating LIFE?!
happyhumanramblings:
…I woke up the other morning from a Tumblr dream. A Tumblr mini-meetup dream, to be exact. Lili was visiting Colleen and so Deezy invited me to meet up with them for some drinks. They sprung me from work early and we headed out to a bar, had lots of drinks and lots of fun, and a Tumblr buddy became a in-real-life friend! (I already know Colleen.)
This dream is totally...

I got a lot of these. Many of them told me I was “highly qualified” and that they were “sorely disappointed” that they couldn’t review all of the “stellar applicants” for the clerkship.

On a scale of 1 to 10,
my productivity today is at about a 3. I had my clinic orientation this morning and a meeting with my clinic supervisor after that, and since then I’ve basically been poking around the internet and staring blankly at my T&E book. For two hours.
SHAPE UP, LILI! You are not done yet!
How is your Wednesday going?

Last first day.
Ever. This was my last first day of school ever, barring disaster.
Wahhhhhhhhhh.
However, this first day that was otherwise great (I sincerely enjoyed both my classes, and I’m well on my way to real lawyerdom with my wacky ass clinic) was soured slightly by the fact that both my classes have laptop bans. So… I wasn’t on any form of internet all freaking day.
I was sort of...
