is there a word for things that are named after people who would be unpleased to be associated with the thing in later days?
for example, Sylvester Graham and graham crackers ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_cracker )
the dear reverend graham would abhor the s'more that depends on the crackers named in his sake
remember that exam i was freaking out about months ago
i ended up getting a 84%. which got regraded to a 89%.
the mean was 63%.
i was in the _top ten grades_. and i thought i fucking failed.
don't beat yourself up when you thought you did a bad job. even if you didn't get the grade you wanted, it's rarely as bad as you'll build it up to in your mind. this was a happy case, but it's worked out badly for me other times, and i always imagine way worse than what actually happens.
Oh, before I forget:
Anybody out there REALLY fluent in Chinese (mostly written) and need a job?
My bosses are hiring. It's basically the same geographical work I do (i.e. really cushy if you're good at lateral thinking), but in Chinese. That and basic web literacy are the main requirements, though knowing a bit about global culture sure doesn't hurt.
Let me know if this interests anybody!
oh, heh, I just remembered--while I was at the store I think I got my first attempted green-hair dis, from an older shopper.
them: your hair is very... striking!
me: thank you!
them: did you--intend for it to be that color?
me: oh, yes--although it's faded out a bit, I need to darken the green up some.
them: oh... oookay...
me: thanks! /cheery wave /wanders away
it didn't occur to me until afterwards that they were possibly trying to be rude/disapproving. XD
I'm absolutely fucked with bills this month and will be til next semester most likely. I'm swamped with classwork and I can't donate plasma. If anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it. I'm probably going to have a gofundme set up soon by my friends, but I need to get at least my phone, power, and internet bills paid in the meantime so I can try to set something up as far as a steady non-loan source of income. Please RT even if you can't help, I appreciate it a lot.
