One of the best mishearings in a while happened during my last Statistics class. The lecturer was going through chi-square material for the final exam.

Lecturer: Hmm, yeah, okay, you'll need to know Cramer's Phi.
Me: (awakes from spacing out) Huh? 
.....
Me: (to James) What's the Famous Five?
James: Huh? What's Famous Five?
Me: She said we needed to remember the Famous Five.
James: (flips textbook confusedly) But there isn't anything called the Famous Five...
Joyce: (enters conversation) Why do you two look so confused?
Me: What's the Famous Five?
Joyce: Huh?
.......
Joyce: ...do you mean 'Cramer's Phi'? 
Me: ....OH!!!!11!!
James: Huh? Cramer's pie?
Joyce: OMG you two. One Famous Five, one Cramer's pie. What, you think this is Enid Blyton? Something to eat? OMG. OMGGGGG.

And here I thought statisticians were being cool by naming their mathematical steps after 'Famous Five'...associating themselves with a famous theme to capture attention or help people remember...you know, like newspaper headlines being Oh Fredo. You break my heart. Evidently not, though. :|

Hi everybody. Good luck to all the ill-lucked people having finals along with me ;___;

.....I have a massive urge to write epic KyuHyuk. 10,000 words. Or something. It's been so long since I've written something above 10k a;sldkj;aslkj /fingers getting itchy

I also expect that I will be the only reader of my 10k KyuHyuk ;__;

Oh dear. It might have something to do with the fact that I've been having dinner with her for about 2 weeks :/

That reminds me. I think she said her exams end first week of May. I end on April 30th. Let's do something after that.

Mine end 4th May, I think hers end on Wednesday actually. 28th April. If I'm not wrong.

OMG THINKING ABOUT IT NOW IT'S HILARIOUS. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HOW I WAS LIKE 13, AND MY FICS WENT BEYOND SUCKAGE. TOTALLY BADFIC.

...If I posted those fics now under K-pop, I would get hated on to the next life, no kidding. XD

BNF-er is clearly a genetic trait. -nods sagely-

YOU CAN DENY IT NO LONGER, GEM. STOP HIDING. COME OUT AND EMBRACE YOUR TRUE IDENTITY. you could be the next Xiaxue 8D

it's very interesting cause i've been having a discussion about fic with my RL friend (who neither reads nor writes fic) on my LJ, she thinks badfic necessarily begets flames... but we all know that is absolutely not the case.

THE NEXT XIAXUE. DIES. What shall I call myself? Xiayu?

That is very true. It's the good writers who get hated on all the time, and by that I am baffled.
