This was an entertaining journey into my personality, not for the content of the posts but my process in copying and linking to them. I declared to myself that doing each thing in order on the page - starting with a href, then copying the link, then closing the link & copying over the text - would make sense and be efficient. But I quickly diverged from even MY OWN instructions and started doing things in all weird order, each line different from the last. It's as if my brain cannot accept rote tasks and repeatable processes.
Anyhow, on to the first line of each month! )

If you're a Lush fan, they've apparently overstocked some stuff and are giving away a free thing for every thing you buy. Which is a good deal if you like their holiday stuff!

I think this may be interesting to those of you who think about class privilege and class in general, which is probably most of y'all. )

One of the big class-based predictors of academic success is supposed to be the presence of books in your house. My parents both came from factory-working families, but were avid readers (mom read magazines, but was also in school for most of my lower school years, so lots of college textbooks, while dad read assloads of fiction). Both of my parents shared books with me, and I don't just mean the books themselves but conversation about them.

I don't know why I felt the need to point that out, except that a) I was always a big nerd and b) I am now an equally big yuppie. So the research is right in my case.
