can't wake up
I have a midterm on Monday. I spent the weekend studying in the library and walking between the library and my apartment in the rain.
It's rained three days in a row here. I've never seen that happen in LA and it's depressing as hell.
So, in other words, fuck you.

Damn right... Mardi Gras here is just an excuse for over-zealous preppy girls to where the beads for an actual occasion.Originally Posted by burgundy
And, on a personal level, we don't mention it much in my family. My mother's name is Tuesday and she gets pissy about the Fat Tuesday jokes. ^^

Your mother's name . . . is "Tuesday?"
Now, I'm not one to get all uppity about names, as I've been blessed with a hum-dinger (that being "Bacon," my surname), but what in the Hell were your grandparents thinking?!
Hey-oh!
Great-grandmother's name is Dasiy. Then we have Gloria, and two absurd names for her brothers I can't recall, and my mum is Tuesday. Other names from that fmaily line include: Dane and Dillion, Gage, Hunter, and Matiere is very plentiful, and a handful of other dumb ones.
I hate my name, but I consider myself lucky, to be honest.
Fat Tuesday jokes useds to be really funny, as my father would come up with some good ones (my mother is insane about her weight, but she's as thin as I am) but now it's just old. Pity, though.
Dippity-Do!
What's your name that you hate it so much (unless you dig that whole internet anonymity thing)?

Tuesday is a nice name. Reminds me of Tuesday Weld.

Hey-oh!
Alyssa.
If it fits the time period, probably who my mother was named after. My grandmother wasn't creative enough to come up with that on her own, I don't think.
Dippity-Do!
Alyssa isn't so bad, but if you don't like you could always get it changed. That's what I did. My legal name used to be Jaime, but sometime during middle-school I got sick of being teased, so I petitioned my mother to change it to James. She did, and so now on all of my legal documents it's James, and not Jaime.
Not a huge change, I know, but it works for me.

Dude, I've been out here since June and it hasn't rained once.
There's been the occasional random spattering of water a few times and it drizzled a bit this past week, though. It's not rain unless you can't see more than five feet in front of your car because the water is too thick. I'll take what we've been getting over the snow and downpours of Connecticut any day. I can't even begin to imagine how bad the rain is in Seattle or Florida.
EDIT: Forgot this was a Mardi Gras thread. Here's my contribution: Mardi Gras sucks.

I just got back from Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and man was it a great time. Lots of food, booze, parades, great sites to see, and of course the ta tas.
I was surprised by a lot of things. For one, the flashing was not as much as I expected. Sure, it was happening all over the Quarter, mostly on Buorbon St., but it was all in good, very harmless fun.
I didn't go with my girlfriend, and all I can say is I would have had an even better time if she did go with me.
It was entirely possible for me to hook up if I wanted to. But you can do that anywhere where there are lots of women and booze.
Mardi Gras is not necessarily a great big orgy fuck fest, as many people tend to believe. I suppose it could be though, if that's what you want to do.
Anyway, New Orleans is an awesome place. Unlike anywhere else I've ever been. And I will be going back as many times as I can.
