Indeed, that is very surprising.

I however have been depicted as Barney the purple dinosaur in a student meme characterizing the department faculty.

You know, I've heard this song before, but for some reason this rendition at this point in my life, it's just hitting me in a really emotional way. I don't know why this is making me cry so much.

When they make fun of me -it is usually over vocabulary or syntax. Every now and then I accidentally come up on them and hear it. It is funny both in how they do it and the response to me standing behind them while they do it. It wasn't upsetting, as the ones I have come upon have not been unpleasant and are even often the better students, but it was surprising to know they find my vocabulary odd. Many people find my syntax odd so they just join the throngs on that one.

I included it because of how very surprising one must find it indeed.

I may have to adjust my view of you as Athena/Barney being a dinosaur sensation teaching them the Alpha Beta Deltas and I, II, III

Hmm. Then i would wager your stoonts are not doing their required reading, else your diction mightn't be so unfamiliar to their ears.

Speaking of dinosaurs, But With Raptors on Twitter is quite entertaining. I especially liked the Jerry Maguire and Ghost ones.

Don’t forget methinks and forsooth.

Is it really too much to ask that I be regarded as the T Rex in Jurassic Park? But noooo...

ETA: today’s Flagle answer was

Possible trigger:

New Caledonia

which has already been discussed on the Couch an awful lot in proportion to its importance. I would like to add it has a god awful flag.

I get her mixed up with Peggy Cass, who played Agnes Gooch in Auntie Mame, probably my all-time favorite character.

stopdog · Jul 31, 2022 at 09:56 PM

I Like Peggy Cass as well. But in all honesty - I am a huge Rosalind Russell fan - catholic school girl lesbian crush on mother superior in the trouble with angels and mostly just paid attention to her.

I've been to shows with fewer before.

Seemed like Pat Carroll was always just showing up on various variety shows, and i was always glad to see her. She was like your favorite smiley but very talented aunt.

I had crushes on all those fast-talking smart-mouthed women in 1930s and 1940s comedies—the younger Russell, Jean Arthur, Katharine Hepburn, Irene Dunne.

SD, I have always found your mastery of litotes fascinating. It is an unusual syntactical choice.

I find them not unuseful in avoiding overstatement

Wasn't Peggy Cass on some game show for a long time sort of like Fannie Flagg?

unaluna · Aug 01, 2022 at 10:13 AM

Geez i didnt know there was a word for what she does!

And yes.

I had a therapy appointment Saturday night at 6 although T didn't log on until 6:10.

It was okay. We talked about hallucinations, depression, SH. She asked me some questions like if I was irritated or angry or something so maybe my demeaner was off. But I rarely feel that way so I was like, no.

Trigger SUI

Possible trigger:

I was sort of tip-toeing around having sui thoughts though. I finally told her but she didn't follow up or anything. So that was kind of strange.

It was nice to talk to her. I'm just not sure how helpful it was.

SlumberKitty · Aug 01, 2022 at 02:51 PM

T gave me her business card when we had that meeting with my parents. On a whim, I looked up her license number. She does have a citation from 2018 so I looked at it. It looks like she didn't have enough continuing education credits for the proceeding term. She was about 8 credits short. But it looks like she made them up and paid the $300 fine. This was back in 2018. Just an interesting factoid.
