First Exam Down..
thanks for all the support guys, I feel much better and didn't drink that much gin. I've made a few friends that I will hang out with this weekend and thats good enough for me.


I wrote my very first university exam for my masters today.
What a joke.

60% of my grade determined in one hour. If you can figure out how that works you let me know.
The questions were very practical, making sure you are going to be a half decent teacher.
"You are in the middle of a science experiment with a class, a parent come storming in yelling at you. How do you handle the situation?"

A lot of situation questions like that.

I'm pretty sure i did fine.

Its time for some Frickin Freak Flags (bite you Nick and your alliteration ban).

When you start living with someone for the first time (especially someone you share a bed with) your freak flags flare. All the things you thought you didn't care about you figure out that you really really did..
Like the shower curtain? must be closed after a shower to prevent mold.

The television? quiet. I'm not deaf and he is. I fear for my fantastic hearing.

I can handle my long hairs all over the floor in the bathroom but his hair from triming the goatee all over the sink drive me nuts.


People who show up to class looking like they just left their glamour shots photo shoot are pathetic. You are there to learn, not to enter an ass giggling contest.


enough flags for this week!

Oh the joys of cohabitation. The beard trimmings got to be such a point of contention that now Mr. Jaded gets his beard trimmed when he gets his hair cut so there are never hairs in the sink!

I'm glad your first exam went well.

My Freak Flag for the week is: I HATE when dishes are piled in the sink and the dishwasher is EMPTY! The effin thing is right next to the sink, just open the door and put it in there instead of the sink! It also makes me nuts when Mr. J cleans the kitchen, and I find things piled in the sink because he didn't bother to run the dishwasher after he filled it. I HATE THAT!!!!!

living together sucks. i always thought frida kahlo had a very good idea.

Living together is a true test of love! It will be okay. At first my husband and I drove each other crazy - I'm neat, he's not. But, eventually you learn how to compromise. I'm a little bit less of a neat nazi, and he's a little bit more clean. Good luck :)

Shut up. You're drinking gin and living in Australia. What could be better.

Like is good brooke, life is good..

J and O- I grew up in a family that if you left dishes in the sink you might as well not come home.... In TFG's family it was perfectly normal.. I'm slowly beating that habit out of him.


Miss K- Friday had very good ideas about a lot of things, especially men. I think in about 6 months I will be in the same situation as you.. grr.



Lou- so glad you could join us... is the blog better now? I hope it made you jizz a little otherwise it wasn't worth it. Also now you have to be nice to me, maybe a compliment on the template i did all by myself?


Lolo- I didn't think I was a crazy neat freak until I started living with TFG. I'm still not a neat freak but I have a much lower tolerance for mess then he doea.

Sitting here with my wife and mother-in-law. My wife is telling stories of how annoying I am while I sleep. Snoring. Drooling. And getting up way too damned early in the morning.

She sleeps too light. Shouts (not talks) in her sleep. And hogs the fucking blankets.

But I can't wait for Spring to come. The room will be lighter in the morning, and I'll be able to see her face in the morning. She's so beautiful when she's asleep.

TFG read this and said "HA! your hairs on the bathroom floor to drive me insane!"

I complain on Friday because i know i'm a freak for feeling the way I do.
I love the messy boy

Blogger Megan said...

I'm going to flaunt my friday freak flag with flair, my fine friend! (Ha! Take that, Nick!)

i have a funky fondness for having fresh fruit in a fabulous bowl on my counter. but i don't like to eat it. (i ran out of f-words, and i didn't want to mar your blog with cursing) :)

glad your exam went better. and the goatee hairs would piss me off, too.

Blogger Ubermilf said...

Ahem, Sysm... the Sysmistress is not the only one to complain about your snoring.

I seem to remember hearing about Dr. Sardonic curled up in a ball on a hotel room floor, as far away from you as he could possibly get, pillows wrapped around his head in a vain attempt to muffle the noise coming from you.

Miss Knit, the kinks will work themselves out. Dilf is a non-rinser, non-soaker. But then he has to clean the cement oatmeal and spaghetti sauce shellac that results.

Eventually, he learned.

Ubie.

The Doctor wanted to "spoon".




Actually, I had the combination of a horrible sinus infection and way too much liquor. My body was trying to kill me in my sleep.

Blogger Knitty Kitty said...

TFG tries to be the little spoon sometimes but his back is too hairy, and he is built like a rugby player.

Ubie- TFG leaves dishes in the sink but with a little bit of water, just enough to create watery-oatmealy-goo.

booze and a sinus infection are never a good combination...
tabasco and a sinus infection is a fantastic combination.

Lou Reed, if you have Nick's back, could you get his front to face the computer and reply to my damn emails?

Blogger Ubermilf said...

What did Nick's computer ever do to you?

Blogger Knitty Kitty said...

nick's computer has done nothing for me lately, and thats the problem!
