today i dispensed swift and thorough justice.  who knew that jury duty kicked ass?  certainly not me.  well, i should rephrase that.  the first two hours of jury duty totally sucked, because i just sat in a room with like 200 other people.  but then i got put on a jury for this assault case and it became totally sweet (also, weirdly, mr. ralampagos ( Read more... )

oh damn, i guess i'm 21.  cool beans.  i bought a colossal corona at 7-11 and the dude there was such a homie.  he gave me a little "happy b.day" card.  sick.

well, that about does it for st. andrews.  it's been quite a time.  and now i'm off to the highlands with the 'rents.  i plan on becoming the highlander, so wish me luck on that.  apparently there can only be one, so i might have to bitchslap some douchebag until he gives up that title.  we'll see how it goes ( Read more... )

fuck, no internship this summer.  balls to that.  fuck psu.  dammit, i am really not looking forward to job hunting again, and i'll be damned if i work at target again.  fuck fuck fuck.
