Things That I Have Learned At Yale

1. To be pompous it is important to pronounce Baudrillard correctly. This is easily accomplished using the following pneumonic mnemonic device: "Boy dreams are [good]." So it's like "bhowh-dreeyh-ahr." The last word is just like way to go that is so [good

<3 We miss youuuu!
Actually, just yesterday, Cara mentioned you at the lit mag flyer committee meeting. Yay.

And anyway, I think that feeling wonderfully is a wonderful point of life. (Err. That was supposed to sound better. XD Well, it sounds fine.)

You goto Yale? Are there multiple branches of Yale? Or do you goto Yale New Haven? If so... You're maybe Fifty minutes from my house?

That would be neat, eh?

[atnevon]

WTF WHOA

This is like so strange. Umm yeah. Maybe we can play sometime?

[ruinedeffigy]

Most def. We'll play.
And listen to At The Drive-In <3
You're the reason I like them so much, by the way.

[atnevon]

wtf? I used to be into At The Drive-In? CRRAAAAZZZY.

Whoa. I've "known" you what, since I was fifteen or something?

What would a pneumonic device be?

P.S. The first time I read Brave New World I was like eleven (I know, bad idea, right) and I was so confused about what "pneumatic" meant.

[atnevon]

Pacemaker : Heart :: Pneumonic Device : Lungs

Or so I infer from dictionary.com

[tamar_k]

According to the Oxford American Dictionary, pneumatic = lungs/air/inflation whereas pneumonic = pneumonia.

Hmmm.
