Well, it didn't translate. Being sarcastic on here (or in real life) when no one really knows you or your manner doesn't usually go over too well. Just FYI.

I've witnessed many of you being sarcastic on here. And I figured that by saying a way in which I was drastically affected by the standards on my campus then following with "It obviously doesn't affect me at all" was a pretty obvious indicator of sarcasm.
DrPhil, you use LOL in a very interesting way....

So, you did have an eating disorder? That is interesting considering how you responded to our posts in that other thread. You responded to us as though we were being judgmental grownups who cannot possibly understand the plight of college students.

PinkTurtles: 2 or 3 for all 3 campuses is good. And as for DZ, I'd try to get one from a non relative as well. Nothing against you and the aunts but all coming from family might not be a good thing. After all, why wouldn't all of you think she's great? The chapters prefer to hear from someone "independent."

I was about to post that we should stop feeding the troll, but now I see that DrPhil and 33girl are just trying to help her maintain a healthy weight.

DrPhil! you used "tumultuous" which is one of my top ten all time most favorite words EVER.

See? the little bird on a string is dropping down from the ceiling, and Groucho Marx is giving you a prize! Yay Team DrPhil!

ETA only other word I love more is "tempestuous".

"Tempestuous" always make me think of Robert Herrick:

Delight in Disorder
A SWEET disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness:
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into a fine distraction:
An erring lace, which here and there 5
Enthrals the crimson stomacher:
A cuff neglectful, and thereby
Ribbands to flow confusedly:
A winning wave, deserving note,
In the tempestuous petticoat: 10
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility:
Do more bewitch me than when art
Is too precise in every part.

Trust SWTXBelle to bring us back to something more civil.

SWTXBelle! You now have me picturing Sophia Loren. Or Gina Lollobrigida, or Raquel Welch. Someone like that. And I'd completely forgotten that Robert Herrick poem.

Well, not that it matters, but I think "another thread derailed" has been added to my "naughty" column. Sigh. Back to the bleachers, again.

SWTXBelle · #40 11-01-2011, 11:24 AM

This was my English professor Dr. Peterson's favorite poem,which he would recite at the drop of a hat.

AzTheta - I personally love a good thread derailing.

It is an LOL word.

(He was married 3 times so I'm apparently not the only person who found him handsome.)

Actually, these are all just thread hijacks.

Do family recs even count? I thought one would be considered a "Letter of Introduction," but a whole gaggle of them wouldn't hold as much weight as one or two recs from someone not related to the PNM.

I'd better watch out before this post is considered too mean!

I second the request! I know for my group anyone can fill out a Legacy Introduction Form but I'm pretty sure in practice it's mostly the family member of the PNM (and for some reason I almost wrote "bride" here - LOL my cube neighbor is getting married this weekend).

I'm so under-educated on recs, STILL.

As for southernbelleRANDOMSTRINGOFNUMBERS (how many times have we seen THAT name on GC?), perhaps prior to calling usernames out on being rude, one should take a look at whether or not calling someone racist for objecting to black face but not white face is appropriate?

ALSO, you flounced DAYS ago. Either stick to your promise or don't, but stop trolling. You added nothing of value to this thread.
