WTF people?  Believe it or not, I AM paying attention to traffic, and the reason I am slowly coasting and not accelerating is because there is a RED LIGHT less than 100 ft from me with at least four cars already stopped at it.  And guess what?

"Say you’re cruising and up ahead you see a red light. Release the gas pedal and coast into the red. In a ( Read more... )

Apparently parties still generally consist of drinking games and beer pong.  This makes it hard to fit in when you don't drink.  I think I'm going to start telling people I'm allergic to alcohol.  There used to be a few drinks I could at least finish, and I used to be able to chug some stuff down to fit it, but now I start to get a headache within ( Read more... )

And so ends the big holiday break.  This is one of the few times I envy college students, because at least at the UW, they still have two more weeks of vacation.  I, on the other hand, go back to work tomorrow.  Technically I had two days of work last week, but I did so little that they hardly counted.  That's a little depressing.  It's like, what ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my first day bowling with the team.  One of the girls was a state bowler, so she has three balls and is really good.  The other two there last night both scored near or over 100 each game.  Your truly scored 80 the first game, followed by a 68.  Somehow, in the third game I bowled FIVE STRAIGHT STRIKES FOR A 174!  Making that probably ( Read more... )

Well, in all fairness, yesterday was really good ( Read more... )

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home

May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just ( Read more... )
