You're thinking that you want to spend the rest of your life
reading
writing
drinking medical amounts of coffee and notcoffee
going to the library to grab books and notbooks
making undergrads lives miserable, and
justifying your fabulousness at every possible moment.

You're thinking that sleep and grown up jobs are for pansies and idiots respectively, and as you are neither you belong in academia.

You're thinking that unless you write something brilliant in the next 20 minutes and win a Pulitzer, it's grad school or a cardboard box. Or home to the parents, in which case your friend Me will beat you with a pointy stick and help you shop for the cardboard box.

You're thinking that you'd get a lot more money to go to school on.

Haraway! Please pass along when finished!! I've been wanting to read that shit for ages (meaning, like, a year and a half). (an age = six months.)

Shaving your head?

This is the only one I've studied--

I have a couple pretty awesome fat little anthology-style books you'd be welcome to browse when I'm done using them to relearn the fine art of breathing.

Not shaving. Just much shortness. And, hey, I still haven't seen your haircut.

Link! Thank you. That article is heavily drawn upon in an essay on Star Trek I read for Carol Guess & Kathleen Kennedy's Queering Pop Culture class back in the day. I'd never heard of cyborg feminism and found the idea just whack enough to be really exciting. Not being a sci-fi kinda gal, though, I never got around to following up on it until now. I look forward to reading.

Browsing fat things sounds tasty, too.

Hair.
