(Lucky Test Taking Pencil, please help me get great GRE scores!)
I have a lucky test-taking pencil. While I would not go so far as to say it has magical test-taking abilities, I consider it de rigeur for all tests. Since I have had the LTTP, I have taken tests with other pencils and gotten As, and I have taken tests with LTTP and gotten ABs (which is not to say that an AB isn’t lucky – just not magical like an A). That would imply that LTTP is not especially lucky, yet, I would rather take the test with the LTTP, just in case it has some mystical right answer-guiding abilities.
Which sums up my attitude toward luck – I’ll work hard and be ambitious, but it seems stupid not to encourage a little luck, just in case. So if that means preferring the pencil with a proven test record, well why not? You wouldn’t walk under a ladder – sure they say it’s unlucky, but isn’t it unlucky because it’s dangerous?
And yes, I read my horoscope. Not because I believe it will come true, but if it claims good luck for me, and I have an extra spring in my step, a little confidence boost – then tant mieux. And occasionally, I buy a lottery ticket when my palm itches. It isn’t my retirement plan, but for a buck, why not?
When my GRE test date arrives (12 practicing days until my GRE test date), I will be packing LTTP. LTTP doesn’t take the place of the 4 months of practice I’ve put in, but I’ve spent a lot of money to take this test; I’m going to take it with my lucky pencil.
You know that old broad in your 9:30 class? That's me. 
Well, talis me banana. Look at me! I’m posting to your blog! Wheee! Would you like a comp to the Mini-Musicals? The comps just have to be used on or before April 27. I’ll just plan on giving it to you. I’m hoping to acquire some extras for the remainder of our tribe. Since Bonnie, Kirk, and Kirk’s daughter are all involved in the show, they have a surplus of them and may be willing to share.
So the Gilmore Girls season finale happens to fall on my birthday! Are you free on 5/15? Perhaps we could hang and watch GG then meander on down to Wonders or the Merc.
I happened to turn on the telly recently to be greeted by Paula Deen announcing, “Now I got crabs!” I giggled for hours.
I’m just realizing how “all about me” my post is. My birthday, my show, blah blah blah. Maybe I’ve been spending too much time around narcissistic actors lately.
Peace out, G!
I think it’s hilarious that you posted a comment to the blog that resembles your e-mails. Is this a hint that I’m getting slow to respond to e-mails? I read them right away, you know. But yes, I will gladly take a comp. I will e-mail you posthaste with comments on your comments. Or we could set up a dialogue solely through comments on the blog. Nah, I’ll just e-mail you.
Keep it real!
