I also have not seen it, so there is another data point.

Nor I.

Scrolled through my friends list. Didn't see a single Christ as profile pic, and about 90% of my friends are LDS.

I am kind of completely in shock. I was rejected by 3 of the 4 graduate schools I applied to, and I assumed I would be rejected by the fourth, but I wasn't!! GUYS! Someone accepted me!

Yay! Congrats Mic0!

Yay! Where are you going? What are you studying?

University of Colorado at Boulder, studying linguistics and (probably) first language acquisition.

COOOOOOL

I feel... a little jealous! I wonder if I had studied language acquisition in grad school if I would have liked it better.

Obviously it's not set in stone yet if I'll really attend, but I'm still super excited.

Who knows, Whistler! Maybe one day you'll go back and try something else.

Yay for linguistics and L1 acquisition!

My first word was apoop.

Also, I've played this three times (and won every time, because they give you one more chance after my inability to spell "a fear of thunder", and it's always the same word which I happen to know!) and the words are almost always the same. I will keep going until I get it right!!

Ironically, Google, which I ended up cheating with, is of course a misspelling of googol, which the founders didn't intentionally do when they were registering the domain name. They didn't have Google to say to them "Did you mean 'googol'?

I have an incredibly attractive, smart, Mormon coworker who is starting grad school in Boulder in the fall. He's single . . . My inner Emma Woodhouse is tingling.

I like to think Mico's husband would object to you setting her up with another man. But I'm just old fashioned like that.

GA, get with the times! I'm a liberated woman! I'll date whoever I want! Annnnd, I'd like to just date Mr. Mico, thanks though.

I hate doing laundry. I hate it so much that I put it off. And then I have to clean every piece of clothing I own, except for my laundry day outfit. Which is not something I particularly feel like wearing in public.

What will Mr. Mico be doing in Colorado (liberated man, that, taking your pseudonym. : ) )

He doesn't know he took my pseudonym He will be working from home since he is a software engineer and can do that. It's a nice set up, really.

That sounds truly fabulous. Hopefully the Rocky Mountains in your backyard aren't TOO distracting for either of you. ; )
