I feel like such a sham. Four people have been led to my web page to find quotes for the reason that is apparent above (I don't want to say it, cause I might get even more stragglers.) But I just never posted anything of the sort. I posted comments that involved these words.... far apart, not even in the same post.

Oh screw it, here are some great quotes for you to use as your finals week away message (!!!!!!!)

If things aren't going so well:
"From now on, I'm not doing anything I don't want to do! The world owes me happiness, fulfillment, and success . . . I'm just here to cash in."
-- Calvin, from Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat. (Calvin & Hobbes)

"Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow."
-Mark Twain

If life were fair, Elvis would be alive and all of the impersonators would be dead. - Johnny Carson

Rosencrantz: Shouldn't we be doing something - constructive?
Guildenstern: What did you have in mind?...A short, blunt human pyramid?

It's all gonna' turn to dust in a million years anyway, which to the universe is an ice sculpture on an August day. ~Christopher Baldwin

Random acts of nerdiness:

What did one math book say to the other math book?
~I've got problems.

Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing, that is something. Wearing stripes with plaid comes easy.
--Albert Einstein

"You can cut a brick of sodium with a butter knife. Why you would want to do that, I can't imagine. But you can."
--Words of wisdom from my chem prof (Dr Block)

"There are only two kinds of food: good and bad. Also, all of life's big problems include the words 'indictment' or 'inoperable.' Everything else is small stuff."
--Alton Brown (of Good Eats on the Food Network)

"I think we all know that people don't have to be smart to have opinions."
--Some guy on Tech Talk

For the other Psyc majors out there:

Niles: "He's obviously dealing with repressed material, not to mention the obvious oedipal issues."
Martin: "Gibble gabble garble goop"
Niles "What?"
Martin: "Now you know how it feels."

or my compilation away message, which I truly used for all of fall 2002's finals season (yeah, the whole lot of them):

If I'm not here tomorrow, I've gone to Mexico.

"Oh, Mexico
It sounds so simple I just got to go
The sun's so hot I forgot to go home." - James Taylor

"I still love you that's the way it goes,
He's got you, I've got Mexico." - Eddie Raven

I'm giving you the key
Only if you'll go
All the way to Mexico" - J,LC

"You better bend before I go on the next train to Mexico." - Incubus

"Oh baby, I was bound
For Mexico
Oh baby, I was bound
To let you go." - Cake

"I've got a sickness, can't leave Cancun." - Nelly

The only way
I know how to decide
Is just to get on and ride"- Garth Brooks
