  • My new student ID number at the local college: 1524225
  • New mechanical pencil, index cards and a writing comp book: $14.79
  • My age in years: 36
  • Taking college classes and having a man ~15 years your junior hit on you: Priceless.

  

  I even got a Student ID. Which means I get discounts at the Apple store. This could prove to be an expensive thing.

  Yes. I’m going back to school, and I can’t WAIT! I’m taking a self-paced writing class where I will get one-on-one attention. I supposed to bring a writing sample to my first class next week, and I’m almost so excited I can’t figure out which piece to bring. Should I bring a new first draft? Or should I bring something I’ve already polished?

  In addition to being excited about my new class, I’m a little pissed off at my friend Kristine. I’ve known her for 3 years now, and come to find out that last Wednesday was her birthday and she never said one word about it. In fact, she came over to my place for our Wednesday Project Runway night and actually cooked supper for me! (Granted, it was her night to cook, as we take turns, but not once did she mention “Hey, Heather, by the way, 20 some odd years ago, my mother was in the delivery room giving birth TO ME!”)

  I simply do not know how I will get over this aggravation. Maybe I need to write an essay on ‘revenge.’ There’s a thought.

   Due to technnical difficulties beyond my control, I had to e-mail you the following comment:

   Why are you surprised that “…a man ~15 years your junior…” would hit on you?? You look the same as you did when you tutored me in Algebra. Now if a woman 15 years MY junior hit on ME that would be amazing. That would be someone approximately your age. I do NOT look the same as I did back then. Some things, like cheese (or CheezWhiz) age better than others do.
   I haven’t taken any Creative Writing since Comp II, but once, when I was an instructor at an Army Reserve School, I tried to teach Effective Writing to some Army Senior NCOs. You ever heard the one about teaching a pig to sing? It’s a waste of time and it annoys the pig.
   Maybe next Wednesday you ought to throw Kristine a “Very Merry Unbirthday” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InSn2BLDwfQ

   TO which you replied: “yeah yeah y;ea. ”

   So what’s with this “Yeah, yeah, yeah” stuff? You don’t believe me? Don’t tell me you think I’m just another guy! I’m BillMan, defender of… well, defender of something, but not the type to throw around compliments lightly.
   Or were you referring to the rather old “singing pig” line?
   Or the idea of throwing an “Unbirthday” celebration for Kristine?
