You know, properly speaking the bride is felicitated, not congratulated? Or so I'm told.
Huh. I just realized, I've known

The one with the poor little bunny. *hugs*
But I couldn't understand the vast majority of the song until I found the lyrics. Then, of course, they all fell into place. Why does it become easy to understand what I'm hearing when I can see it?

I'm not especially interested in seeking a diagnosis of a CAPD. Whether or not I have one is a different issue, but it's hard enough for me to deal with the things that need to be dealt with, much less worrying about something like this.
However, regardless of a diagnosis or not, I do have some problems in the hearing department. Mostly, my hearing is too good. This is very annoying. Some of us don't like having to unplug various appliances just to get a good night's sleep. And while it's useful to be able to hear spoken conversations from down the block, it's annoying when... well, when I'm trying to sleep. Sleep, the bane of my existence, where I should be RIGHT NOW.
And I can't easily not hear things. So if there's noise, I can't "tune it out" unless I'm completely absorbed in whatever it is I'm doing. Unfortunately, I had to teach myself not to get that absorbed in anything (I missed one too many lunches, and it's really not safe) so now I hear it all. Gah.
All this adds up to "I can't do group discussions in class".
English class is full of those. Or reading your work to the other person.
God forbid you say "here, let's just read each other's work instead of reading it aloud", you'll end up having to explain this to the professor later. I *like* this professor. I really do. But I'm not sure I'm making sense to her about this. I said "there's no way for me to be able to participate in a group thing while all the other groups are talking" and she said "okay" and... nothing. So we do occasional group things, and I see how high I can count in binary until I get confused.
Oh, and here's another question. Does anybody else find that if they're tired or stressed their senses go bonkers? If I stay up too late, when I go to sleep I hear things that aren't there (but I know it, it's not the same as "hearing things", exactly) or I see spots in front of my eyes, or I feel like I'm spinning.

One of my friends is worried about a potential problem, and the first bit of advice that came to mind was "talk to Jenn".
This is strange advice. After all, Jenn is MY sister, not hers. But the first thing I told her was "talk to Jenn". I was telling her this long before they'd ever spoken. "Talk to Jenn".
It's true. I really think my sister is the Queen of Good Advice.
She's cool, and smart, and writes good schedules, and I love her, and most problems are helped by talking to my JennJenn.
*hugs*
I don't want anything, and it's not even her birthday.
I just wanted to say this.

Got a letter today. Here, I'll read it to you with an italicized summary of my thoughts.
Um... why's the school writing to me now? Is this bad news?
Dear student that's me:
Because of your excellent writing skills my what? you have been recommended for a special three credit !!!!!!!!!!! course being offered this spring by the English department. skimskimskim
In addition, the tutoring experience you acquire will be considered valuable...Eep!
skimskimskim
Sincerely, signature.
It was much longer, but.
I just called Jenn.

First, she wants us to credit her when sharing information from an anonymous chain letter. Note she says nothing about humor, it's all "enjoy knowing where the phrases came from!"
Then, because we had the nerve to explain that these aren't true we're accused of being anal retentive. Now she's saying we should've just enjoyed the jokes.
Whatever.
At least it's an excuse to use my Daniel icon.

I've been putting this off forever since it's such an event, but I'm down to one. And it's getting stretched out.
It'd be great if I could just buy bras, like, in a store, but no. I need to wear cotton, or mostly cotton (true. When I buy any clothes, before I consider fit I consider fabric), and no lace. Do you know how hard that is to find?
*screams*
I'd put a TMI warning on this, but I don't think it really merits it.
