final answer...

okay, i've thought about it, and i'm not changing a goddamn thing about this blog. no way, jose. this is my blog, i say nothing of which i'm ashamed, and if, as the rumor mill suggests, there really are law school employees out there who want to read and forward posts along to faculty members, well, i don't like it, but what can i do about it?*

but i've had an idea for a summer project, which might involve taking parts of throckmorton offline for a while. it's very top secret right now -- only m.n. and k.s. know about this, and somehow they both think it's a good idea. good thing, too, since i'm planning on enlisting their help in certain aspects of this little project!


*in what may go down in history as the most passive aggressive footnote ever written, i want to say that although i'm no idiot and i understand that the internet is public, blah blah blah, there's something a little depersonalizing, in the show-and-tell object of office gossip sort of way, about keeping a blog that you consider to be pretty important and personal and hearing rumors from various sources that posts of yours and your friends/fellow bloggers are being passed along various faculty/administrative chains. is it true? i have no idea. the truth is that the rumor exists, and so all of the ways that the rumor can be construed and internalized comprises part of the circumstantial truth. there. i've said it. and i'm not allowing comments on this post because i'm ranting a bit and i don't want to hear it from my dissenters. xoxoxoxoxox, emily
