Had a little word with my English teacher after class today, ostensibly to discuss my being an English major, seeing as I've been ambivalent about it for a while. Sometimes I think it's okay and sometimes I'm like, this is nuts, I'm nothing like these people. I like my English teacher and wish that she and I could get together over coffee. It's probably not appropriate though.

Okay, I'll tell you something. Prior to beginning school, in autumn or winter of 2002, I drove to the university campus for an appointment with an English advisor. I was walking down the hall toward the offices and I saw a short girl with closely cropped hair kinda check me out (I can't think of a better term for it right now). I turned my head and saw her pause before she entered her office, doing a double take. At the time I thought she was cute and I gave her a little sidelong sorta-smile. I think it was my now professor. It was a long time ago and only a short glance, but ... I'm pretty sure it was her. Same office.

Here's a pic of my Velvet dollies.

Not all English majors are freaks. Trust me. :) But yeah, some of the people I used to have class with - WTF?

English major here. stumbled on your site--can't even remember how. need some free advice? Doesn't matter what your major is. Just get your degree and get out. What you need is INTERNSHIPS.
But I could be wrong.

Anyway, English majors are superior because even if they are bad spellers they can write like demons. Just remember, use your powers for good.

Sorry I can't coach you on English - my major was history. Bloody useless for the most part until I start researching something. Anywho, I just wanted to say that your Velvets look lovely! I agree with you about the hair on the backs of the heads. It's a bit straggly on all of them. I must say, tho, my own Crissy seems to be the best of the lot but then I know I never cut her hair.
