Ramble Strip

There's no stripping. (Sorry.) But there's rambling, usually in the area of science, politics, pop culture, signs that are irritatingly misspelled, and religion, or anything that happens to be on my mind at the time. I post on study breaks, so that I don't go insane. Insaaaaaaaane!

MySpace weirdness, and other bizarrities

I know bizarrities isn't a word. Leave me alone.

So, I was browsing through my "friends" on MySpace last night, and discovered that my cousin (who I used to be really close with) has a baby, which I had no clue about. And I hear about it through one of his MySpace comments. Bizarre.

Other things that I find bizarre:

  • The fact that when people ask what I'm doing and I tell them I'm in medical school, they go, "Oh, so you'll be a nurse when you finish?" I hope not, because then I'd be the worst doctor ever. Not that there's anything wrong with being a nurse, but no. No, medical school means "doctor". DOC-TORRRRR. And speaking of that, I was at my dermatologist's office right before a big neuro test in January (it takes me awhile to post stuff - whoops) and I had forgotten to do some stupid iPledge minutiae related to my Accutane prescription. So I told the nurse, "I'm just so frazzled, you don't understand." (Let it be known that "you don't understand" is a phrase I use frequently - I really don't mean it that literally.) She got all huffy and said, "Yes I DO understand, I have a bachelor of science degree in nursing!" I was like, "Okay, but you still don't understand." (I didn't actually say that out loud.) I mean, I didn't completely understand how stressful medical school is until after I'd finished my first year. It's one of those things that you don't fully get unless you've been through it yourself. Anyway.
  • What was that other thing I thought was bizarre?
  • Also, Flavor Flav. What did he do to get famous, exactly? I must have missed it. And what's with the clocks? And why are all of these scary girls salivating over a guy who is 4'7", wears six outfits concurrently, names girls "Oyster", has no real teeth, and can't say anything except, "YOU know what time it is" or "I'm feeling you all up in here, you know what I'm sayin'?" AND, most puzzling of all, why did I watch approximately three episodes of Flavor of Love yesterday? Okay, that's embarrassing. Don't tell anybody I just said that.

That is all.
