Last week was rough. I met a new kid who was an old kid as far as the Club was concerned, but he just hadn't been here in a while. Five minutes later I had to send him packing for swearing and calling other kids "fags". It's rough to meet someone new and then kick them out with your next breath. I feel like there are tricks I should have learned ( Read more... )

I have just discovered that I am 3 hours away from the nearest Trader Joe's. Horror of horrors! Fie on you! I say fie! Six hours round trip for the affordable peanut butter that shames all other affordable peanut butters?!

Even now, I am seriously considering it.

When I had campers, ages and ages ago, I used to love to tell them that. I grew up reading those Calvin and Hobbes paperbacks; I think Josh used to get one every Christmas, and let David and I read them when he was done.

So this is what Liz(a), myself and DanDan wrote in Adam Bouse's comments when he found us on Myspace. I'm not sure why it's so funny to me, but it just is dagnabbit! Basically, Liz and Dan make me laugh so much it hurts. I love 'em.

You can go online and register your animal, but each animal has a unique code that must be entered during registration. That ( Read more... )

Drives

I got lost-ish twice on the way out. The first time was in a vain attempt to find the last exit to the Skyway/I-90 off South Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. I missed it and ended up driving underneath the Skyway and through Industry City. Look down on us ants from the Skyway sometime and realize how lucky you are to be driving on top of us. Then ( Read more... )

Yes, as a matter of fact, I am.

Grrelkk! Why are there so many states in this union? Could God have been so kind to have me born in Latvia or Saipan? Too many choices, and I haven't even begun considering house boats or motor homes yet! Blechhh.

{Update: IBM, Microsoft and Al Gore tell me I should move to Washington. But they are evil corporate automatons. You, however, are ( Read more... )

"Jesus," I asked, "how awesome are the Pixies?" And then Jesus opened his arms wide and said, "This awesome!"

I love, love, love, love mosquito bites!

So serious. Absolutely fantastic. Love 'em.

Summer, you sure are swell.
