I am alright. I am on break and classes don't start until Feb 1st, but now I am busy taking inventory of fossils and minerals and fixing up the labs for the undergrad students for the upcoming semester.

Hey! It's been a while! How are you?

LOL Dexter Morgan vs. Dexter's Lab...figures I would get that wrong.

Heh, I think I remember you from the World Cup thread (IIRC, you were supporting Germany) on the forum I normally frequent.

I was thinking more along the lines of magenta and lavender.

I think I need to make some avatars for you... You current avatar is too grey!!!

Well why aren't you using smileys!!!?

Luv ya!

Weber, are you in a bad mood or something? Don't you know a joke when you see one?

Ummm... Like a man!!! Hahahaha!

Oh come now! Don't get all sensitive on me, Weber!

Well I did college in a foreign country so going abroad once again is not an issue for me. I love the independence since my mother can be a little smothering. She means well but can be something of a tyrant.

Starting grad school soon, but unaware if it will be here in my home country or in a foreign land. I will tell you once my mind is made up!

The purpose of language is to communicate. If someone's understanding of language differs from yours, is it not reasonable that you try to get them to understand, regardless?

Context means a lot, and the context within which your statement was placed left a lot of room for ambiguity. Clarification is not a bad thing.

Did you see my party ad?

I am doing well. Changed my mind about what I wanted to do in grad school. Take a look at my blog when you can. I think post #1409... ?

It's been a while. How are you?

Good point. Uh..... why don't I go fix it to just be ''pt''.

Yeah, I figured. Ummmmm... friendly new avatar??
