@ShadowMLA
| 3:47 PM - 10 Dec 2011 | One of us just got a milkshake!!! #omla | |
@ShadowMLA
| 3:49 PM - 10 Dec 2011 | The thing is, it was a really expensive milkshake. | |
@ShadowMLA
| 3:51 PM - 10 Dec 2011 | I couldn't really afford it but I swear I don't ever buy milkshakes so I paid with a card. | |
@ShadowMLA
| 3:52 PM - 10 Dec 2011 | I asked the girl to make it extra thick. | |

@ShadowMLA
| 7:10 PM - 10 Dec 2011 | @occupymla And it's also your odd choice of.....target? Is MLA the target or just the place of demonstration? | |
@ShadowMLA
| 7:11 PM - 10 Dec 2011 | @occupymla I think everyone thinks you look silly because you're not terribly unified & you chose an awkward digital medium for that. | |
@ShadowMLA
| 7:14 PM - 10 Dec 2011 | @occupymla You should all talk, make a blog, put what you're about in that blog, & then have a way for others to join you if they agree. | |
@ShadowMLA
| 7:20 PM - 10 Dec 2011 | @occupymla And on a very personal level, you enrage me because you come across as privileged, entitled people I don't want to work with. | |
