'...if you're being a gentleman, I may die of shock...'

[marguerite_krux]

I am made of fail.

So, I'm working on this lab report on the relationship between situational/dispositional factors and job satisfaction that's due in- ten hours time, of course, because my organizational skills are nonexistent. Spent an hour freaking out because I couldn't explain the fact that the results were totally not what I predicted. I mean, extraversion- which is all like, people with optimism and confidence and an outgoing nature- so you'd think it'd influence job satisfaction was NOT related at all, and for some reason, openness- which I had said should be unrelated to job satisfaction- had a significant positive correlation. *HEADSPLODES*

I'm reading through different articles, paging through the textbook and notes and spazzing out- til I look at the results for the thousandth time and figure out, OMG I MISPLACED THE ASTERISK OF SIGNIFICANCE. I could've totally screwed up this stupid essay, all for the want of an asterisk. When I was copying out the results, that little star thingy indicated which results were significant and which weren't and I totally switched it around for some reason.

God gives me the eyes to see but the brain to fail. Ugh.

MEME.

*hugs*

That meme is awesome :D
LOL that pic of Paget *diez* She's hilarious ♥

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

This meme rocks! I like the gimmick of making a mosaic of your answers, that's a first for me. I wish other memes made this much effort to be cool!

Paget is uber cool. Heh, I found that pic of Torri growling first and then when I found Paget's, it was like, OMG, THESE TWO WOMEN ARE SO UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME AND FUNNY AND HOW LUCKY AM I TO FANGIRL THEM?

[mcgarrygirl78.livejournal.com]

That asterisk could've been the death of you...I say you kick its ass.

Also, Paget, legs of total and utter awesome : )
And sitting next to Thomas....you do realize I can die a good fangirl death now.

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Consider its ass well and truly STOMPED INTO A TRILLION MICROSCOPIC BITS. I get vicious when provoked, lol.

Ohhh, that pic of Paget and Thomas is made of awesome but it KILLS ME that I can't save it. I don't know if it's 'protected' or I'm just hopeless with technology but it won't save. *pouts* So I can only stare at it when I'm online, which isn't enough!

Hey, Thomas is wearing glasses, yeah? I don't know why that makes him hotter but omg, so does.

you do realize I can die a good fangirl death now

Ha, you're too easy! Though I can't speak...I'll try and hold out for someone to manip a pic of them in matching his-and-her glasses and thenI'll die happy. :D

[mcgarrygirl78.livejournal.com]

I saved mine onto my hard drive from a picspam hopskotch_hotch did in her journal. I think she friended you and since she is made of win for so many other things you should friend her back and go check it out.

Above icon = best manip on the entire planet EVER!

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Oooh, thanks for the directions. *squishes*

Also, that icon is love and hard to beat. I'm hoping someone tries, though, competitiveness breeds groundbreaking stuff, right? *quivers in anticipation*

I was in JB Hi FI yesterday, rushing through my browsing because mother was waiting but one dvd caught my eye and stopped me in my tracks- Huff! I don't know much of the show, and from what I do, it's probably not my kind of thing, but omg, seeing Paget on the front was sooo tempting me to buy it but I had to rush off...though I did spend a few minutes just standing there, gazing at her pic. *headdesks* I swear, it is wrong just how much power a tiny little image holds over me, this cannot be healthy, lol.

[mcgarrygirl78.livejournal.com]

Huff is pretty good, Season 2 is better than Season 1. Actually, Paget doesnt mind the buff, which makes Huff better, IMHO.

[spence-reid.livejournal.com]

My sis wants to know where you got your "epic fail" icon. : P

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Your sister was looking at my journal? O.o

The icon was made by guilty_icons, but if you mean, where's it originate from, that would be Star Trek: Voyager, the one with a female captain as the lead. Stick with me and I'll introduce you to a whole new world of old sci-fi shows, lol.

[spence-reid.livejournal.com]

Actually, I was reading your journal and I started laughing and my sister asked me why, and I said, "Someone has an icon of Chakotay and Janeway clapping and it says 'congratulations on your epic fail'" and she made me show it to her and then said, "ask them where they got that."
So yeah, I totally know Star Trek. I mean, I know of it and have watched some, I'm not fully versed or anything. Aren't you proud? I actually know an old sci-fi show! Though I am definitely willing to learn more. : P

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

OMG, YOU KNOW CHAKOTAY AND JANEWAY?

*DIEZ OF HAPPY*

I'm totally proud, this is coolness! Just when I think Star Trek has become irrelevant and no longer matters in our society, someone proves me wrong. It hurts me when I realize people don't recognize a show, and it fills me with glee and delight when they do.

Like, I was watching this quiz show one time when I was bored, the host asked this question of schoolkids, 'Name the show which involves the never-ending search for alien life'. They blanked. 'Would it help if I mentioned Mulder and Scully?' Still blank.

THERE WERE LETTERS FILLED IN A FEW OF THE SPACES AND STILL THEY COULDN'T ANSWER IT. *FACEPALM* X-FILES, YOU BRATS, X-FILES, I MEAN, SERIOUSLY OMG! *HEADSPLODES*

That about broke my spirit. >_<

BUT the other day, I was on the bus and this little girl, like Year 7 maybe, about 12 or 13, gets off the bus. Her friend waves at her and she spreads her fingers in the Vulcan salute, and I was just sitting there with the biggest smile ever, all nerdy and squeeful because of that little gesture. Hee.

[spence-reid.livejournal.com]

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER BABY! Hells yeah! OMG, I love Next Generation. Picard=love. Data=even more love. I've only seen season one though.

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

HEE, AND PROSPERITY AND LONG LIFE TO YOU, MY FRIEND! ♥ *geeks out*

I've seen bits and pieces of TNG, not in any coherent order or form. Personally, I think Janeway's coffee kicks Picard's Earl Grey tea's ass, but yeah, Data is made of win. I'd take him over Seven any day. :D

I was so happy when the actor, Brent Spiner, was cast in this other sci-fi series although he was the complete opposite of data, all cynical and sarcastic- except it got cancelled. *criz*

So, not that I'm pushing TNG on you, since that was never my addiction, I'm just curious how come you've only watched one season when you seem to like Data so much?

Also, I just realized I never friended you back. *iz shocked and horrified* What an oversight. :O

[spence-reid.livejournal.com]

*Hugs* I'm glad you friended me! Now you can read my bizarre rantings without having to search for them. : P
I've only watched season one because my dad got it for his birthday/father's day (don't remember) and we don't have a good video store that would carry it.
I like Voyager, but I get annoyed with all the crazy-ass time warps and episodes that turn out to have not happened because they were on the holodeck.
Picard is gorgeous. I just absolutely love him; not sure why.

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Now you can read my bizarre rantings without having to search for them.

Ha, bonus! I like your bizarro rants, because I feel like I'm in good company, lol.

I get annoyed with all the crazy-ass time warps and episodes that turn out to have not happened

*thumps head repeatedly*

You have summed up my pet peeve withe the series. It got a little too fond of temporal distortions and extra-dimensional warping and yadda frakking blahness. I can't stand episodes that never happened because then there is no development, so what's the point?!

[fragilemorning.livejournal.com]

Aww *hugs*
Paget's pic..wow!

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

LOL, everyone adores Paget in this meme. It's like no other pictures exist. :D

[joyfulamanda.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you caught the misplaced asterisk in time!

Torri rawr! is my fave ;P
This looks like such fun. I'll have a go.

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

*squishes* Hello, you! :D

See, even the WORD 'asterisk' pisses me off, without getting into the whole essay sabotaging thing. >:[ I think it's because I, and everyone I know, pronounce it 'astrix' but the spelling is totally different. Such a petty thing to hate it for, but there you go. :P

Torri love, yay! I'd kill to meet her, but I'm doubting she'll ever come down to Australia. *pouts*
