B C Pi May 29, 2007

Posted by carpebanana in : Ramblings , trackback

Way back in college a group of friends and I had our own fratority (combination fraternity/sorority) named B C Pi. Yes, we knew there is actually no /C/ in Greek, but hey, we sought to honor the dining hall’s version of Boston Cream Pie.

B C Pi had a simple membership requirement: you must be easily amused. We developed a lot of our own lingo. One of the major tenets of B C Pi was ABW. ABW stands for Anything But Work. I think most adults are good at ABW activities but B C Pis will come right out and admit it.

Why do I mention that at this time? Hmmm. I am engaged in an ABW right now, writing this entry, rather than buckle down and do the school portfolios. I do not do ABWs like lie on the couch or watch TV but I make every effort for my ABWs to look as if I am being productive.

not really productive looking unless you call it art class

Now I better go get to work, unless I can come up with a better ABW.

Did you know you don’t have a site meter here yet? What’s up with that?
Is it too late to join your fratority? Because I think I’d fit right in. And you were so ahead of your time with the text messaging language. I’m still trying to figure that out. I don’t text message, though, and they say it’s harder to learn a new language without total immersion. :o)BTW, it took me a long time to figure out why everyone put :-) in their e-mails. I thought there was a glitch in their Word program.
Peace and Laughter,

Hey! Your commenter turned my colon parenthesis into smiley faces! I did mean the colon/dash/parenthesis people used in their e-mails. I would have recognized a smiley face.
You comment submitter rocks!
