Everyone had already been seated when I walked into the restaurant and made my way over to join them at the table. The table was still empty, so I knew I wasn't that late. The waiter, seeing that I had arrived brought over a menu and asked what I wanted to drink ( Read more... )

I make sure to listen to this song at least once on this day every year. I'm a sucker for stuff like that. I do the same with "12.23.95" on that day, and with "Brick" on the day after Christmas.

Yesterday, I came home to find I had received a card in the mail. There was no return address, and the stamp was just a standard 'Forever' stamp, but, given the current season, I assumed it was a Christmas card. I didn't recognize the handwriting, but I assumed it was from a relative or friend. I haven't gotten many cards this year because I ( Read more... )

Took this from dystopianutopia. Just haven't done one of these in a while.

1. Elaborate on your default icon.
Just a pic I took with my cell phone that I thought was cool. Low quality, and it loses a lot being reduced in size. Oh well. Circa 2007, driving the RTT van.

2. What's your current relationship status?
So very painfully single.3. Ever have a near- ( Read more... )
