Um . . . Woot!!!!!!

[lavendertook]

WOOT, I say, WOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!(-:(-:(-:




I have another chance! It's not definite yet, but it's a shot, one I can increase the chances of working by staying on schedule.(-:

In celebration of possible success, I bought a Gollum action figure today. He is going to be my dissertation mascot. His job is to absorb all the bad mojo working on the dissertation will undoubtedly generate. And maybe when I complete it and get my degree, I'll be able to take a trip somewhere with a volcano and toss him in.(-:

OK, back to do a little more work before coming out to play.(-:

YES!!!! *does ecstatic dance*

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

:D *glomps, dances with you*

*whirls you into attempt at tango -- the Masochism Tango perhaps? ;) )

So this dissertation is for a Masters or a Piled Higher And Deeper?

Wot's taters, precious??

CONGRATS! I have no real clue what I'm congratulating you for, but I get the idea you're excited, and this is something good, and so I'm HAPPY! Other than a dissertation.

Now, we gotta find some little plastic fish for your Gollum!

[anneheart.livejournal.com]

Yay!

YOU FOUND A GOLLUM??????

*curses, swears a blue streak, beats self up*

Oh, I mean...how nice you've made progress toward that elusive degree.

*resolves to follow you to the volcano with a butterfly net*

I just wandereed into the KB Toys. Are they hard to find?

*wonders if the other Gollum is still on the shelf and if she went back to get it for her, would that make a difference?(-;*

Well, it's more like I've got another "possible" chance to make progress. Will try to explain when we tawk. (-:

Oh, I think there will be plenty of opportunities to follow me with a butterfly net still. (-;

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I suppose that's the only dance appropriate to being ecstatic about writing a dissertation, isn't it?(-; *dipsmooches*

Piled Higher and Deeper indeed.

Re: Wot's taters, precious??

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

Thank you! (-: It's about working some stuff out with my advisor for going on toward the PhD thingie.

Fishses!!!(-:

*dances for you on her Mun's behalf* :D :D :D :D :D

And I made you some chocolate chip lembas and homemade lavender ice cream!! Lily helped with the ice cream :D :D :D

*offers*

((Eeee!!! I'm so proud ofyou!!! Congratulations, again! :D))

Hee, hee, very apt. Amazing how well Tom Lehrer's songs stand the test of time... admittedly that one's non-topical, but still.

And from what I've heard it's a very accurate acronym. Not sure if Heinlein ever got a Ph.D himself, though. Hmmm... *searches*

I stay out of toy stores. I tend to spend money there.

[abandonada.livejournal.com]

I'll um, maybe hit the local KB with only enough cash for a Gollum. I really DO have enough action figues. Don't need any more.And God will strike me down for that big, fat lie I just wrote!

Good. Hit the books hard, baby!

Will keep the butterfly net around in order to snare you should you stray from your studies.

WOO HOO! Good news indeed. And congrats on the Gollum, too. Do you talk to him, tell him to "Come to Master, trust Master"? Heh. Not that I would EVER do that, when if I get a Gollum except that I will so totally do all that and more. *eyedart*

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the topical ones of his do too.(-:

Oh, it was Heinlein who came up with that? Yeah. It's a Gollumish thing, for sure.

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

Awwww, sooo cute!(-;

Wow, I never thought of lavender as an edible flavor (don't go there(-; ), but why not? I love adding rose water to things. I bet that's good.

Thank you.(-;

((OK--time for recovery sleepiness to end and work to progress!!!!))

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

Ty.(-: Ehehehe! No, actually I don't, because this is the Grimacing Gollum. The smiling version hasn't come out yet. So if I said that to him he'd probably say, "Fuckses yew, Fatses!" So, I'm going to dispense with negotiations and just dump my PhD angst on him.(-;

[elanorgamgee.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Really?! You've never had lavender ice cream? (:P) It's very good :) *eyes go soft and unfocused for a moment* Mmm.. and so is saffron-rosewater ice cream...

*snaps back out of her reverie and blushes self-consciously* You're very welcome! :D

((Soon, sweetie -hugshugs-))

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

Ooooo! Yum! ((:P))

((OK, I'm awake.(-:))
