Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

OK, the winning caption, with 44% of the vote is (drumroll please):

This one was José’s (aka The Beige One’s) idea, although I did tweak the spelling to make it a little more Lolcatty!

It’s now apparently moved to the voting page, but I’m not sure (1) how to tell you to find my/our entry and (2) not sure if you can vote if you’re not on WordPress. I mean, this is a WordPress blog, but I just use the software and am not on their site. Think my approach will be to just watch and wait and see if it ends up featured. I have other stuff to do!! Although I do admit to poking around at other submissions. I mean, some of these are REALLY FUNNY!

EPPP Prayer

By Abby at 6:30 pm on Monday, August 6, 2007

I found this in and amongst my study files, collected from all over the place over the last year. At least I’m not alone in this, although it usually feels like I am:

Oh EPPP agony, thou hast made muppets of more clever men than I.
Dangling the keys to salvation before our army of starving soldiers
Hungry to conquer the territory of a golden age, we reach ever so high
Awaiting the enveloped blessing from the standard score satchel tossed across your shoulders.

Oh EPPP, you’ve made a monkey out of me, chanting acronyms, rehearsing nonsense rhymes!
Will there ever come a day when I can finally say I have finished this uphill climb?
Oh when all is said and done, will I be the only one beneath the cutoff score?
Unemployed among the overjoyed, bitter and confused, battered and abused, but coming back for more?

Oh dear EPPP — Don’t wave your wrath upon us, Don’t increase your fees a-gain!
Don’t leave us pennyless to wash the feet of the Computer Stewardess in shame.
Let us walk proud, with a dollar in our shroud, and your tapes blaring in our ears
Cast off that evil grin, the multiple choiced sin, and let us contemplate our fears

The sorcerers of the soul are we, a legion of mindful men, we will not rest until we reach our fated 140 shore
Keep in mind theories of Vygotsky and Bersheid, never forget what the Globus Pallidus is for
When in doubt choose “C,” take the post-test times three, but if you fail don’t blame me
Because as you may tell, I too am among you in EPPP hell, clawing my own way out of this bloodied well

Join hands, good friends, and let us go forward until the end
Memorize the little lies until it flashes from your eyes — then behold the golden prize
Oh EPPP — you may torture my friends and me, but you shall not keep us captive indefinitely.
Each of us will succeed, faces brazed but glasses raised,
and in triumph raise the plaque of licensee!

Good Luck! Go Forth!

— Perry Staltaro [presumably one of me, although one who has already passed – on hopes!]

By Request: Scenes from the DMV!

By Abby at 2:09 pm on Saturday, August 4, 2007

Jon asked, and so I deliver. Of COURSE I took pictures!

My old license, surrendered yesterday (no time to take a pic of the new one now, but I’ll get to it):
Surrendered!

I’m taking her DMV photo since the camera wasn’t working! And the multi-tasking DMV employee…
At the DMV The Self-Described Multi-Tasker

The DMV when I was the only “customer” remaining:
DMV, Friday, 5:01pm
