jesus christ

was the letter itself slightly disappointing though?

i mean, when i got a similar type of result letter back, it was pretty much a blank sheet that had my name and the word pass on it. nothing more, nothing less.

i was thrilled to have passed but sort of thinking to myself "so what does this really mean?"

Then she says stuff like "hey that's great!" and you say stuff like "yeah I tell you what, I was pretty sure I passed but you know when the envelope came in the mail my hands were totally shaking" and you make a toast to passing the bar, and then you say, "OK enough bragging from me, now let's toast to this wonderful evening, I'm really happy to see you" and then get her to talk about herself for a while.

Oh and um also, hey congrats Bob!

ms.peachy line is pretty good. you should do that

[nodanaonlyzuul]

AWESOME! Congrats. I'm so happy for you

[jennyb]

dude. totally talk about this MAJOR thing in your life... and FUCK ... brag all you want, if you feel happy and whatever. I hate hate hate all this "you should do this and don't do this" talk about dating, guess that's why I never ever was into it. It's not a game, it's life and interactions with people. You need to be yourself and not filter shit. If humans can sniff anything out it's bullshit and people tend to gravitate more toward someone who's genuine. If you talk about most of the same shit you do on here, you'll charm her just like you have most of the ladies on the board with your cunning wit and your LAWYERNESS!!!!

...oh, and uh eric...

Now, you could be doing the same, and in which case I apologise. But I'm pretty certain eric was joking, I think he knows what the word means. I'm sure you're just joking around aswell, but quoting the dictionary seems to have a certain air of seriousness about it.

[jennyb]

yes, you're correct, the dictionary is very... very serious business

of course I knew eric was joking, can I get a lawyer to back me up here?!

triple congrats bub! looks like all your hard work paid off.

I recall when I got the call that I got my first job in my industry, I literally threw the phone into the air, it smashed as it hit the ground and I ran out onto the street in the middle of winter barefoot with no shirt and screamed at the top of my lungs. It was an exhilarating feeling, I nearly passed out from sheer joy.
