sarah sarah.....something something....something somethin good bye
sarah's perspective regarding the fact hat i have been contacted in two different media informing me that i need to meet with someone re: my exams
Perhaps you'll get a candygram from them to bypass your illiteracy!
chants:
we just want you to know
that your academics suck--sooooo...
sings:
you need to come in
and be met with a grin
and we'll tell you how
you should study now
so you won't be a failure ever again!
that girl, she cracks my shit up
sarah just sent me the following in an email
I am immortalized! Now I just have to learn the cardiac cycle and then I can take over the world!
By the way, you may or may not care, but I would like to start using this phrase, from what I think is a typo on the first line of el journal: "fact hat"
Maggie: Hey, Sarah, what is extraembryonic mesoderm derived from!
Sarah: I'm not sure, allow me to retrieve my fact hat!
or, alternatively
Sarah: Do you have candles? Let us proceed to inquire with the fact hat.**
or, in lecture after a gunner question
Maggie: Take your fact hat off already!
**if youre like me, this really didnt mean anything to you. and if youre like me, you and sarah email each other a lot and get shit done....so, you email sarah and ask what in the name of mike that means....and she tells you the following:
Like we were going to speak with an oracle. So we would light candles and go in to inquire with the fact hat, asking it to answer our difficult questions and channel our dead uncles and things.
this has aparrently become the unofficially official singing the praises of the amusements of sarah......
I think that one of the reasons we are able to communicate to such an entertaining degree is that we're both wordophiles and enjoy using fun phrases (such as "transient inspiration") and making up words altogether when nothing else will do. Some people really don't get into that. For example, Bridget has terrible vocabularly (she's honest about this and has said it herself) and I tried to say something about ramming information down our "gullets" and she didn't know what a gullet was and accused me (quite harshly, I might add) of using obscure words. My imaginary friend Susie was an English major, and upon consultation she (of course, being imaginary and all) agreed with me that gullet was not obscure. However, Bridget can draw stuff like nobody's business, which I don't even pretend that I might be able to do someday, so it all evens out. However, what I'm trying to say is that I enjoy these exchanges in part because the nuances get noticed. Comprende?
All of my wordular data is interpreted, even the finer points, rather than tossing out all the data except that which related to the general point.
