* What is X?

Hello people! It is a Xi!!! And yes, I know that QNX looks like "ONE" - The worst is when OTHER GREEKS don't know what Xi is!!!

* Oh, you went to UGA! Do you know [fill in the blank]?

On a campus of 30,000+ students, it's probably not that likely that I know [fill in the blank] but thanks for asking!

* What are you doing with your English degree? Teaching?

This is the most irritating question on the planet! Any humanities/liberal arts degree-holder is bound to hear this at least once a week. No, I am probably not going to be teaching as a career. I'd rather get a Master's degree in something other than English.

* Where are you from? You have a strange accent.

This ever popular question is asked mostly by people over the phone. I'm from Georgia, but my father lived in different countries as a child (he didn't speak English until he was 15 - though he was always an American). So, I have a collection of accents to play with: Southern, French person speaking English, Irish person speaking English, lots of New York...etc...

* Is Theta Nu Xi a real sorority?

No. I made it up and I'm living a great big lie. I like to sport 'nalia for a non-existent sorority! Sure!

* (From people looking at my line shirt) Poor...siiiiiiis...tahnsay?

Not quite. Try persistence.
