So, I had my high school reunion last saturday.  I had a fucking great time.  First off, I looked good.  I dressed up, shaved, washed behind my ears, etc.  I borrowed my stepfather's luxury Volvo, and drove it there.  I let people see me pull up in it, get out of it, then didn't say a goddamn word about it for the rest of the night.  I handed my ( Read more... )

So, my birthday is next month, specifically on the 27th.  Since Jeremy's party is the next day, I want to celebrate the weekend before.  I haven't decided exactly what I want to do.  There will probably be dinner involved, though I'm scrapping my plan for going to Medieval Times, since it costs $50 a person, and a lot of us can't afford that.  But ( Read more... )

So, I was driving this morning, and I saw a woman with this license plate 5EXC469. I don't know that this was a vanity plate. I have no proof. Perhaps it is just a coincidence. Maybe I just have a sick mind. But... What kind of skanky whore makes a vanity plate that says "Sexy For 69?" I know that some people like to let it all hang out, but ( Read more... )

I just took a long look at my salesperson license.  I noticed that one of the members of the GA Real Estate Commission is named Scott Free, the real name of the super hero, Mister Miracle.  So apparently the world's greatest escape artist managed to escape the confines of a comic book universe to enter our own. 

I think I told everyone on the planet that I passed my final RE exam on Friday, then got to spend four days of drunken geek bliss at Dragon Con, which is only a pale imitation of Heaven Con, where I hope I go when I die.  I filled out all the paperwork (of which there was surprisingly little), paid the fees and got my license yesterday.  It is ( Read more... )

Before I begin with my latest tale of woe, I wonder if my LJ is actually as depressing as I think it is.  All bad news, gloom and doom.  It's not that I don't want to talk about happy things: I could write for paragraphs about movies that feature fine performances, like Pleasentville and Unbreakable, but got no acclaim, basically because people are ( Read more... )

Reserved is not a word that most people would associate with me.  I accept that.  I am not thought of as someone with restraint.  That's okay.  But I am.  Though I mask it beneath sarcasm, boorish behavior or something else, I am a reserved person.  I just cover myself in sharp edges, emotional razor-wire to keep away the casual vandal.

I finally ( Read more... )

The title says it all. I'm not even sure how to start, except to tell the bad news versus the downright awful news. I finished my Real Estate Pre-license class on the 6th. On the 8th, I took my first test, the Pre-license test given by the individual schools. I failed it. So I rescheduled it for the 20th. I failed it again. Unfortunately, failing ( Read more... )
