Ohh yeah I see what you mean. I suppose that is kind of interesting. To be fair in my spare time I look at academic journals around sexuality and relationship research (doing it now while I have access to them!) - that's kind of similar.

But another example is my Indian friend, quite an attractive woman, who wants an arranged marriage from India. She says you can literally go on a site and pick a husband based on a number of biodata-like specifications - I find that weird, although in a not-for-me-but-fine-for-you sort of way.

Yeah, I miss having Uni access to studies etc. from the database

One guy here from TOTA/COR had an arranged marriage. No more than a couple of years ago? Posted pics from his wedding and stuff. I think he was Pakistani?

What was his name??? I hate it when I can't remember stuff like that

Edit: Ummie was his TA name, I think. Cool guy.

As bad as this sounds, I sorta like the idea of arranged marriages ... but thats just cause I am too lazy to even attempt to start a relationship most of the time.

Though there is someone I sorta like at the moment...

It's the one thing I'm freaking out about for when I'm done with my degree. That access has always just been there for the last 6 years!

Oh that sounds cool, they really make a huge song and dance of it over there - I was lucky enough to go to such a wedding back in 1997 in a little village in Pakistan

Go back as a librarian student... One of my cousins is doing that at the University of Washington... The number of databases she has access to is mind boggling!

But I don't want to be a student forever

I'm pretty sure FuzzQi is doing his Masters Degree in psychology. I don't think he's angling for a librarian job

Well, colour me hopeless.

I knew it was something postgrad and psych though

I did undergrad psych, so I guess that's why it stuck in my head.

Yea, but if you are afraid of losing access to data!

Besides it'd be a graduate degree. Though you said you are already doing a post-grad masters.

Its actually a bigger field than librarian its like data something retrieval or some crazy name, but most become heads of libraries with the degree, either in like public libraries or in corporate libs. Its a crazy field I didn't even think existed... What with google...
