Harvard on the Hudson? They dinged me. I had to settle for home schooling. Thankfully, Oral Roberts University School of Law had lax admissions standards.

Whew.

As much as I hate smilies, there are some sentences that shouldn't be delivered in their absence.

I added "fucked to death in a good way" -- which seems like an ideal way to go, if you have to go.

Plus, it was just asking to be said, given his post. Geez. It was the softest of softballs.

Nah, it's okay.

Her suggesting I get dead is way less scary than when she used to flirt with me.


(Damn, there I go again, being all crankypants.)

That's mean. Anyone hitting on you is a compliment, no matter how repulsive their appearance and personality.

Unless I was stalker-y. In which case you are probably right to be scared.

Code of Honor
In signing the Code of Honor, I fully recognize that Oral
Roberts University was founded to be and is committed to
being a Christian religious ministry and that it offers a
lifestyle of commitment to Jesus Christ of Nazareth as
personal Savior and Lord as an integral part of its
evangelistic outreach. It is therefore my personal
commitment to be a person of integrity in my attitude and
respect for what Oral Roberts University is in its calling to be
a Christian university.
1. I PLEDGE to apply myself wholeheartedly to my
intellectual pursuits and to use the full powers of
my mind for the glory of God.
2. I PLEDGE to grow in my spirit in developing my
own relationship with God.
3. I PLEDGE to develop my body with sound health
habits through the required aerobics program and
by participating in wholesome physical activities.
4. I PLEDGE to cultivate good relationships socially
with others and to seek to love others as I love
myself. I will not lie; I will not steal; I will not
curse; I will not be a talebearer. I will not cheat or
plagiarize; I will do my own academic work and
will not collaborate inappropriately with other
students on assignments.
5. I PLEDGE at all times to keep my total being under
subjection from all immoral and illegal actions and
communications, whether on or off campus. I will
not take any illegal drugs or misuse any drugs. I will
not engage in or attempt to engage in any illicit,
unscriptural sexual acts, which shall include any
homosexual activity and any sexual intercourse with
one who is not my spouse through ceremonial
marriage. I will not drink alcoholic beverages of any
kind; I will not use tobacco; I will not engage in
other behavior that is contrary to the rules and
regulations listed in the Student Handbook.
6. I PLEDGE to maintain an integrity of “openness”
to God’s claims on my life and to do my utmost to
know and follow His will for my life.
7. I PLEDGE to attend class, all required chapel
services on campus, and to attend the house of
worship of my choice wherever God is honored
and lifted up.
8. I PLEDGE to abide by the rules and regulations
that may from time to time be adopted by the
University administration. I understand Oral
Roberts University is a private school and I
therefore have no vested rights in the governing of
the school. I accept my attendance at ORU as a
PRIVILEGE and NOT a right and that the
University reserves the right to require the
withdrawal of a student at any time if in the
judgment of the President of the University or of
the University Discipline Committee such action
is deemed necessary to safeguard ORU’s ideals of
scholarship or the spiritual and moral atmosphere
of it as a Christian university.
I will keep the HONOR CODE carefully and
prayerfully. I understand that my signature is my
acceptance of the entire Code of Honor and
completes a contract between me and Oral
Roberts University, which is a prerequisite for
matriculation and my continued association with
the University and becomes a part of my
permanent file. Further, my acceptance of the
Code of Honor is a solemn vow and promise to
God as to how I will live my life.
In accepting and following the Code of Honor,
each individual commits to developing a sense of
responsibility and citizenship that enhances moral
and spiritual growth. Such qualities should be an

Funny, that's exactly what I say to myself when I occasionally see Sidd. Very Alanis.

I didn't think that ORU took god-damned Yankees. Least that's what they told me.

The first part, not the second part, right? And you are a cute little monkey; isn't it nice that you get that affirmation from Sidd every time?

If it was just limited to affirmation, I'd be alright, but the man is like an octopus. I'm saving myself for marriage.

Sure, but you still would enjoy some strange.

Oh, I never mentioned we swing?

Swinging sounds really cool in theory, but you just know its going to be hideous if you actually try it.

Anything that happened with me and him was purely electronic. So that can't be what was offputting.

And, you'll like the strange even after marriage, I think. Maybe you should just succumb. Unless you are a student at ORU -- homosexual activity is verboten (hi ncs and sebby and other lovers of unnecessarily fancy words) as is sexual activity outside the bonds of matrimony.

I watched an old Six Feet Under episode a couple of weeks ago that included a scene from a swing party, and "hideous" was really the word that sprang to mind. In theory, it's a good idea, but most of those people should be wearing shrouds and chastity belts.

Or, as I explained to Mrs. Finch, I like the idea of a swing party but I want it be one where everyone is significantly hotter than I am, and yet they all really want to fuck me.

As you might expect, I had a problem with this part:
