Reply To: What should I do instead of lurking here?

Wow… did not expect so many responses!

Thanks for the good wishes! (And don’t worry, people, if you didn’t say refuah sheleima I did NOT hold it against you at all- like someone said, just the fact you responded showed you cared :). ) I’m actually really touched :).

I actually went to school today, luckily, as I was mostly better and I was worried all my friends would forget who I was. But all your tips will definitely go under advisement.

Golem: LOL! I happen to be really interested in that kind of thing (though I wouldn’t go so far as to read ALL your books 🙂 ), but I have a feeling that a golem is not best made by someone with a 102 fever and stomach virus who’s not really able to concentrate…

Luckily, nobody said I couldn’t smile. It’s hard to do when your head feels like it’s gonna fall off, but your post made me do it :).

The Goq (TM): I went back to school, like I said, because I was afraid that they would reassign my desk if I was gone too long. I spent the entire day Tuesday reading all my library books for the third (or fourth) time. After a while the words started to get jumbled in my head and I went crazy. Then I started watching TV (NO JUDGEMENTS PLEASE- I’m trying to cut back but I was getting desperate).

ICOT: I don’t live in NYC, so I don’t have an NYPL card, though I wish I did :(. I did have one new book, but I was mostly stuck reading repeats of old stuff. I was too brain-dead to do puzzles, and while I did go on YouTube, it was unfortunately not to watch such educational things as you recommend…

iluvebingjewish: Spot on, but after a while I just tend to wake up. That can be kind of annoying.

Torah: You don’t think that thought was seriously crossing my mind?…

Syag: Impressive :). Not my type of thing, though maybe it should be. I’ll try it next time, maybe.

Now, to add to the list, in case this is ever referred to in the future:

Homework (which is why my term paper sounds like the ravings of a deranged lunatic)

Bug your mom (apparently, I’m a world expert and authority)

Iron Chef- secret ingredients are white rice, crackers, and NOTHING ELSE

You guys rock!
