X-rated?

I bought a cheap guitar. Campfire singalongs, here I come. (in the 20 years or so it takes me to learn to play the thing. come for the reunion tour.)

I may also be confirmed for officially teaching graduate neuroanatomy next year. Woo!

All right, I'm in the market for things to fill up my journal with in this, the most sublimely named of months.

PS: Are congratulations in order for your upcoming teacherdom? I feel like they oughta be, but I don't remember you expressing an interest in teaching before.

[lockholm]

In honor of wedlock, NOT one of your favorite things - take a W.

And I have to teach, was hoping to teach this class and may have succeeded in convincing them that I'm just crazy enough to do it (by essentially sitting in on the entire class this semester for the second year in a row.) So I am cautiously happy, and about 90% sure it's a done deal.

me! me!

(also, I had a lady named Ximena at the store today)

[lockholm]

Was she one of your favorite things?

I can't justify it, but I think an F is in order for you.

[bit_of_muslin]

Well, she was nice...

She was one of my last customers of the day and then I come home to an X-themed post from you...it was weeeeeeird.

(but not really)

I agree . . . marimbas are better than xylophones. Good luck with the teaching!

May I have a letter now, please? :)

[lockholm]

Marimbas are one of my favorite instruments - those deep, mellow tones. Mmmmmmm.

So I guess M is out.

You can have a P!

[math_avenger]

I prefer the ballaphon, but I'm a sucker for gourds.

Oh, and? Letter me up, please!

[lockholm]

Perhaps someday I'll have the opportunity to hear one of those - looks really cool!

Until then, have a V.

The Xylem within a plant structure is all well and good, but don't forget the Floem! It's just as important.

Letter me up!

[lockholm]

Yeah yeah, Mr. Pulp-paper-major, Mr. xylologist. ;)

C is for car. (that works, hooray!)

[grover173]

Yeah, too bad it's spelled Phloem. :)

Embrace the lefthanded check mark! Do not let societal pressures force your lefthandedness into hiding! Besides, you have to practice for when lefties take over the world and EVERYBODY has to use lefthanded check marks!

[lockholm]

I know my subtler strategy will not meet with your approval, but these are not SIMPLE x-es. THey have been leftified with a direct connection between the upper and lower left corners. (Actually, they look something like a lowercase alpha - how appropriate.)

You have Bs - baby and boys, specifically.

[grover173]

Ah, the alpha-x, a discreet yet effective infiltration of lefthandedness into society. You must be in the lefthanded Special Forces elite unit, although to protect your operations i will not ask you confirm nor deny such an assertion. Proceed as planned, special agent.

AIeeeee! I did not ask for a letter! *panics*

[lockholm]

Mwahaha! You should read the fine print.
