Whatchu want for your Celebratory Bottle?
Well, I was drinking Disaronno when I opened the letter. So I'll probably just keep drinking that.
When I opened the letter I was raiding in WoW and had vent on. After I read the letter I started yelling a lot, and it was neat.
Cause the people with whom I play WoW who I've never met were happy for me.
YAY! Congrats! So happy!
You will be like 2 hours from St. Louis and 3hrs and 45 min from louisville. 2 places i could potentially end up. how cool is that.
This is the best news of all year! Unless I am forgetting something really awesome (and that doesn't seem likely because if its so terribly awesome how could it be meagerly forgettable as well?) this is the best news of last year too!
The snow outside is brighter and I can tell that spring will come greener. Fuck-shit-damn-YES, Jay! Only explitives carry sufficent evocative force to convey my elation.
woohoo!!!
did you get funding?
Nothing in the letter said anything about funding. But I don't really give a damn at this point.
Mostly I'm thinking about how a group of philosophy professors read what I and others sent them and said, "This kid? This kid could be a professor one day."
And one cannot put a dollar value on that.
Because it's so fucking awesome.
No.. I mean what do you want as a gift, you moron.
Bah,.
Gift?
How about a giant banner which says, "_J_ is fucking awesome!"
Because if we learned anything from Arrested Development it is that banners are all that is needed to communicate any emotion.
This can be provided, granted the understanding that my definition of Giant is non-standard.

someone has been playing to much D&D
hey, congrats :)
Congratulations! Whoever fills your current position is doomed! Double congratulations!
I framed my acceptance letter so I get to take it in to work with me tomorrow ehen I give my boss my 5 month notice.
:)
JOY!
Let's see if he offers me $90,000 a year and a company car.
You have any of those Spumante bottles left?
Pop one after shaking the hell out of it. Just to spray it everywhere.
Congratulations! This is amazing! Happiness abounds! The commoners come out and cheer! (Oh wait, the commoners don't actually give a shit about philosophy, but that's because they're stupid, and we don't give a shit about them anyway.)
And yay for finally being bale to quit the job with teh raek company.
I went home sick yesterday and was out sick today. So I have yet to give my five month notice!
It is so sad. I greatly desired to give my five month notice yesterday. But due to illness I was unable to do so.
Roscoe suggested that being accepted somehow tampered with my hubris guard and left me vulnerable to disease.
I am of the opinion that it was a virus.
We may never know, though.
Also it means a lot to me that you peoples give a shit about my life.
Saluki R Confuzed!
