Yep.

Me: Hello?
The Professor: Hi! So, um, you haven't committed to anywhere else, have you?
Me: Nope.
P: So you're still interested in NYU? Because we have to send our candidates to the admissions office next week, and I was just, uh, curious.
Me: O.O I'm still interested.
P: Let me tell you about the funding that we offer, by the way.
Me: O.O
O.O
Okay!
P: And now I'll go on about our department for twenty minutes. Because, see, we're much better than any of the other places you applied to, and I want to be very sure that you get that message. You totally want to come here, trust me. I will say anything to make you come here.
Me: Sounds good!
P: If you have any questions, any thing at all, email me. Or call me. Here, have my personal cellphone number, in fact!
Me: Got it.

The End

Oh god, NYU totally wants to give me a fellowship.



Also, hey: I went to the movies last night instead of writing my paper (alright, I wrote it eventually. Mostly this morning), and saw Curious George. It is now confirmed- baby monkeys being adopted by boring people are always indescribably cute.

Seconding the green, green envy congratulations! Really, you're an example for us all. XD;

I'm not even attempting to hide it: SO JEALOUS. OMG. HOW DO YOU DO IT?

[p-zeitgeist.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes. This is the way the universe is supposed to work. And I'm not saying another word, because now I'm afraid I might jinx it.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee. Thank you!

And mmmm, mint. I always figured jealousy would taste like limes, but hey, as long as it's green. ;)

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

*grins* Thank you so much!

Your icon is kind of the greatest thing ever, by the way.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I AM SECRETLY A MAD SCIENTIST SUPER-GENIUS, BUT I DIDN'T TELL YOU GUYS 'CAUSE I WAS AFRAID YOU WOULDN'T LIKE ME ANYMORE.

I mean, uh, I dunno! I just kinda do stuff and it happens. But now I am very glad that it does, hee.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Aw. That makes me feel so important, thank you. I feel the exact same way! I was almost afraid to post about it, because of the bad luck.

LOL - that sounds great. Congratulations!

WHOOOO!

My daughter saw Curious George and enjoyed it as well. ;-)

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee.

You know, I'd wanted to see it as soon as I saw the first previews, since I'd adored the books when I was little, but I was too embarrassed by it being such a kid's movie to say anything about it. And then I was standing around with a friend Wednesday, trying to figure out what we wanted to do, when she said, "Hey, I want to see Curious George," so of course I had to respond, "Oh my god, YES, no one else will that with me, we're going right now."

And it was actually really cute.

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

I kind of wish I'd gotten to see it! But we'll probably end up getting the video.

Kids' movies are so much fun in the theater, too, 'cause the kids really get into it.

Heh. Normally that would be true. But since we saw it at 10pm on a college campus, it was just a bunch of 20-year-olds being dorky.

Also, they made the man in the yellow hat into an archaeologist, so I got to be really amused.

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

That sounds pretty fun too.

Hee!
