7:19pmRachel

yeah!
7:19pmChem

i wish
7:19pmRachel

who is that?

your teacher?
7:21pmRachel

in this quiet space i just want to mention that i am in a great elective "medical/legal issues and our changing concepts of reproduction and the family" - a joint course with vt law school

the first meeting was the shit
7:21pmChem

it is funny i was just reading in a picture book that belgium has the flemingers and the walloons and the flemingers are large, monstrous, light, slow and quiet and the walloons are small, dark, and impulsive, and bernice was (that course sounds rad) always talking about how flems are staid and she was having trouble with so many outgoing americans

and her emails to me are like formal letters

it is funny
7:23pmRachel

i like it when people make technological communications polite and kind of formal...its romantic

how is bammy?

how is backy?

gordo?
7:25pmChem

i agree. i uncharacteristically wrote her an email that said things like "i LOVED working with you" and i'm sure she didn't know what to do w/ it

bammy is crappy

but normal
7:25pmRachel

in this quiet space i'll tell you that human dissection really does help you learn
7:26pmChem

my backywhacky is not hurting so much now i am just trying not to fuck it up again

gordo was empty and i got some work done.
7:26pmRachel

those things sound good
7:26pmChem

almost attacked by a great dane
7:26pmRachel

wft

what fuck the?

but what happened?
7:27pmChem

because i think the owner couldn't possibly imagine someone would be walking down the street because even though it is a tiny and completely walkable/bikable town everyone drives absolutely everywhere
7:27pmRachel

i know its not funny but its hard not to laugh
7:27pmChem

and the grocery store has bullshit food and many people are obese
7:28pmRachel

it reminds me of how jason's bammy relatives call orange soda orange juice
7:28pmChem

the mayor is really nice he was a firefighter and now owns a bookstore which he said he always wanted to do because he thinks reading is so important and on the weekend he holds court and people come talk to him
7:29pmRachel

a great thing about a small town

local government is completely different in small towns

when do you get a break?
7:30pmChem

also yesterday was todd's bday and i went out to eat with his parents and his mom said things like "i'm just a southern gal, i ain't never been nowhere, i don't know how to say any of these... sooovaka? (souvlaki). and she also said toddie do you remember when i used to make barf caserole (todd: yeah, that was good), well this food looks way more like barf and then they (parents) would crack up for 10 minutes
7:31pmRachel

yes!
7:31pmChem

also his father kept repeating over and over spicy chicken with RIIIIIICE!
7:31pmRachel

lets make barf casserole for our offspring
7:31pmChem

totally

it was funny
7:31pmRachel

that must be where toddie gets his coolness

thinking about peoples parents reminds me of this fucking awesome elective

embryo donor controversies and non traditional families

it blew my mind i'm so glad i'm in it
7:33pmChem

whoa, so you have two "nontraditional" ones
7:33pmRachel

no its just one elective

with the best teachers
7:33pmChem

oh ok same one

sounds good
7:33pmRachel

two awesome ladies, both doctoras and one is also a lawyer

and we read about this case from 8 years ago

and talked about what we would do if we were the court

then they told us what the court did

it was unbelievable
7:34pmChem

did they align with yall
7:34pmRachel

it made me want to tell all my friends to become lawyers
7:34pmChem

oh. so they didn't
7:35pmRachel

in some ways but mostly not

just real quick

there was a single woman who wanted to have a baby
7:35pmChem

fuck that bullshit already
7:35pmRachel

so she went to a clinic for a donated embryo because she didn't want to mess with paternity rights of sperm donors

(lets just stop right there)

so anyway the fucking doctor

accidentally implants in her an embryo that was not donated but belonged to a couple who they helped get preggers
7:36pmChem

i didn't even know you could get an embryo
7:36pmRachel

and the doc covered it up
7:36pmChem

that means it doesn't have your jeans?
7:37pmRachel

yes

then one of the docs staff threatened to out him

so he went to the woman's house with PRESENTS FOR HER BABY
7:37pmChem

why did he do that- was it on purpose?
7:37pmRachel

and told her he fucked up (but he didn't tell her about the cover up)

accident

and she's like, "oh, we're all reasonable people, lets just talk it out"...

and she's been in court ever since

8 years

the son is in therapy

the fucking embryo parents moved into her town so they could sue for custody

now she only has 60% custody
7:39pmChem

whoa... so if they had been ok w it it wouldve been ok but they weren't?
7:40pmRachel

and the embryo dad is suing AGAIN because he wants full custody

no, the dad is like, "every sperm is sacred"
7:40pmChem

annoying
7:41pmRachel

when she first went to a lawyer

the lawyer was like, "is there anyone you could marry? anyone at all?
7:41pmChem

ha

i guess i've always assumed when i want to have a kid i'll just get one of my friends to sleep with me but maybe that'll be harder than i think
7:42pmRachel

i think its a good route in our circles

who should be your baby daddy?
7:42pmChem

i should've gotten seth's sperm when i could. god damn it.
7:43pmRachel

yeah, i wish he would be into it but

hmmm

dan has a bad back
7:43pmChem

yeah i want him to be my baby daddy. i would leave the country.

two bad backs is no good
7:44pmRachel

wow dan is calling me!
7:44pmChem

whoa!

you can get it if you want

i might should get out of 5th floor
7:44pmRachel

i got it but he says hi
7:44pmChem

hi dan

or we could try to negotiate this conference call
7:45pmRachel

jessica rosenberg just started chatting with me!!!

7:45pmChem

7:45pmRachel
