Especially when you start tossing them off buildings.
Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

Yeah, that's Benedict. He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Today is a solid 9 and this is my first time upright all day after a nasty stomach bug.
Group paper.
I did not compile it.
The formatting is totally wrong and I fixed it.
I can guarantee my group-mates will tell me it was ok despite the fact that it is not APA style AT ALL.
Who the fuck double spaces after a period any more?

*sheepishly raises hand*
It's how I was initially taught, and the habit's been hard to break. I know it's completely unnecessary and unwanted in modern computer typography, but old habits die hard.
... you're not supposed to? MY WORLD IS SHATTERED!
I know. I do it sometimes, too. It was just the last straw in looking over this paper. The appendices were not separate pages, the in-text citations were wrong, there's a reference citation that wasn't included and one that has the publisher as author instead of the agencies the document is from, there were extra spaces between paragraphs, and on and on with the extra space after a period being one more thing that would be correct if I had done this myself. I HATE GROUP PROJECTS.
I gave up. LOL
I have recently started trying to break myself of this habit. I still have to find/replace most of the time to fix many, many instances.
I had a professor in my junior year who was a stickler for it. She was slightly anal.
Hope your leg heals soon, and the infection doesn't spread.
Don't read the spoiler, Gas.
Glad you legged it over to the pharmacy. Hopefully, the meds didn't cost an arm and a ...
I double space, due to habit and training.
When writing my books, for instance, when I'm done I usually find/replace all double spaces with single spaces, and watch it report thousands of instances found. heh

HARR. No, I have halfway decent insurance, all I had to shell out for was the $30 copay, the antibiotics were 100% covered.Hope your leg heals soon, and the infection doesn't spread.

And I still double space after a period to this day. Because I learned it so early and have been doing it so long, I'd have a better chance of learning to properly spell
And today I've dropped from a 6 to a 4, so I'm back at work again... let's see if tylenol can get me through the day. I never realized how awful my chair at work is for circulation.
Yeah I know exactly what you're going through.
I double space as well. I'm too old to change. We have our reports edited and they take care of it there I suppose.
So Facebook has this memory thing and they share old moments on that day. So this time last year, my sister and I were on an amazing trip and this year I'm home with a horrible stomach bug on top of my regular issues and Facebook keeps showing me stuff like this:
Facebook is mean.
Facebook is mean.
You and your sister don't look very much alike.
I hope I got you to smile.

Latest Episode of "As the DoomDragon Turns":
- I've begun being the "advice person" for one of my female friends. She's been having deep rooted troubles with her fiance, and they broke up this weekend. First, he broke up with her. Then, they had a long serious talk where she opened up about everything troubling her, her dark past, how she's wronged him, etc. Now he wants to stay together and make it work now that everything is in the open, but she feels like she's a terrible person and doesn't know what she wants anymore, so now she wants to end it.
- Not-Date with Crush is still on, but I expect it to be cancelled the night before. CLIFFHANGER!
- Spoke with Ex a bit. It's clear we're still the same as we ever were, but we're learning. She actively wants to break the cycle and is making an effort not to talk to me-- for our own good. On the flip side, I'm looking at everything in my life and legitimately considering breaking the cycle the opposite direction-- by asking her to date again. I'm still terrified of both directions though. I don't know what the right answer is. There isn't one.
- Got flirted with at Yama-Con, exchanged contact info. Will see where that goes. Hmm..
My life is in so goddamn much turmoil but apparently so is damn everyone else's, so.

Aw man, we were considering going to Yama-Con to vendor. Do you go to many TN cons?
That's such a @PatrThom thing to say.
