Scenes from Academia

[brigdh]

I tend to get bored with desktops easily, and so I change whichever one I have every other week or so. Which happened yesterday; I was tired of what I have up currently (a photo of the sea from Cyprus) and felt like something else. But I paged through the various ones I have on my harddrive- mostly of boys kissing or angsty animes- and didn't feel like using any of them, since they all felt overused. I decided I needed to make a new one, but didn't have time right then, and left the nice, bland sea photo up.

Which turned out to be very, very much for the best, when my laptop was abducted this morning to project a powerpoint for the class I'm TA'ing, thus broadcasting my screen to way more people than I would ever want to be familiar with my current fannish obsession.

So, uh. Hooray for good luck!

omg. some of my previous desktops would have made me forced to resign my seat in the Senate.

Dude, right? I don't want to be accused of corrupting the innocents!

Glad you were amused!

Eeek! Clearly a case where going with the boring option was a good idea. (You certainly had much better luck than this teacher (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/1998218.stm).)

I had not heard about that case! Wow. Poor dude; that would be intensely embarrassing, even aside from all the legal and job-related trouble he's in.

...this makes me look at my boykissing desktop and consider changing it. XD

Also, this reminds me of a Geography class where I doodled on the a handout and then the teacher had to photocopy it for the rest of the class when I happened to be the only one who had it on hand. So everyone got a sheet with my drawings on it. :/ The jokes over my drawing skills were nonstop for the entire class. *facepalms* I learned my lesson after that (and no one ever borrows notes from me, either.)

Hee!

Oh, wow. Poor you! I doodle all over my notes and handouts constantly, so I am really lucky that a similar thing has never happened to me. I'd be so embarrassed!

Perfecto. I am a bit curious as to whether anyone will see my current desktop at work, which is the WA boys pinned down like butterflies.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee! That would be either embarrassing or awesome, I suppose depending on who it is who sees it.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Fortunately, my desk faces the door.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Ah, good planning.

I'm like a Boy Scout! The kind of Boy Scout they kick out.
