*snorts* Lubricant Liam.

I think you just made my day. You've gotta love that website!

LMAO! I'm so going over to that website right now. Can't think of a better way to spend my Saturday evening! :)

hee! here's one, not from new york, though:

speaker 1: "what's oil made of? Why is everyone fighting over it?"

speaker 2: "Um, it's called fossil fuel for a reason. Fossils? Dinosaurs? Ancient organic matter?"

speaker 1: "Oh my god. oil is not made out of dinosaurs!"

speaker 1? a trust fund baby living in Italy... off the money her daddy made at Bechtel. Speaker 2? My roommate. Um...

LMFAO! First, may I say, I love overheard in New York. I've lived in NYC all my life and it's those snippets of side conversation that you occasionally overhear when on the subway or walking down the street that sometimes make your day.

Secondly, I went to Bronx Science for high school! And hell, to hear kids from Brooklyn Tech and Environmental say stuff like that doesn't surprise me. Not the brightest lightbulbs in the box. New York City public schools are a trip unto themselves. Though I did love my time at Science. I currently go to Columbia, so moronic statements like those are just pretentious in addition to being ridiculous now.

Thirdly, hi! I've never commented before. I recently added you to my flist and I've been really enjoying both your general posts and the fic. I think I wandered over hear after reading "Boys Like Him" a few weeks ago. In full disclosure, I'm more of a het fan, but you are an amazingly talented writer and I've been reading some of your slash drabbles too. The Spike/Lydia piece was a fantastic read and hot as hell. Damn, I wish my "academic" interest in Spike got me a shag!

hi! you just met denied_heaven and nyghtpet, right? good friends of mine.

I'm glad you enjoy my journal :) Boys Like Him is a fic I'm fond of, as is the Spike/Lydia, so I'm happy you like it! and I'm pleased you enjoy my slash as well :) always willing to pull someone further to the dark side ;)

Ya, I would be the Lauren that nyghtpet referred to in her account of the JM concert. They were both lovely and quite lucky to have so much James love coming their way. Most of us were lurking in the back, but they were right up front.

Ha ha, the dark side. I'm rolling in the dark. We co-habitate. And I think sometimes my characters are a bit worse for wear because of it. Poor dears...I really must learn to be nicer to them.

*shrugs* I came out of the public school system just fine.

[thatotherperv.livejournal.com]

LOL I'm a flake and forgot to add "New York" before public school system. Hee. Whatever. Same thing. Yay we're smart and awesome! =)
