one thing I forgot to mention earlier
At the end of class last night I was waiting to tell the Esteemed Ms. Laskas thanks for the class and the advice and tally-ho. It's this brownnosing tradition of mine. She was talking to this guy in my class and while I was standing there this other guy starts talking to me…and talking…and talking…and talking. Then he turns to the Esteemed Ms. Laskas and starts talking…and talking…and talking. The kid didn't shut up for about 10 minutes. The whole time I'm standing there trying to just jump in and say, “Thanks! Bye! See ya!” while he namedrops all these fancypants journalists he met at the Poynter Institute convention last weekend…and that he works for the Trib (barf)…and he partied with, like, William Safire or some shit. So annoying. It's a longer story than this but I don't feel like typing anymore. I'm waiting on the boyfriend to take me to Kelly's.
Also, I'm not really feeling predatory I just wanted to see what that mood looked like.
