    That I really love coming to this forum and that I apparently arrived to late....
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    * linemen dance like strippers.
    * they also have funny nicknames "pot roast"...?
    * when your city wins the Superbowl, every driver is suddenly super nice when there is a traffic jam.
    * most of the commercials in this years' Superbowl sucked.
    * apparently only I can ask questions that people who claim to be 'football geniuses' can't answer.
    * it was colder at the parade yesterday than it was at the Seattle Pearl Jam show.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I suck at bowling one game, then Im pretty good the next game. Then I suck again. More rum didnt seem to help like it does with pool and darts. And my thumb is all fucked up from getting stuck in the bowling ball.

    Also, the people at the nice bowling alley, much like the folks at the dumpy alley, do not seem to care that I bring a flask of rum. I like this.

    *I cannot quote properly in the new forum platform...well, at least when I post from my phone.

    *I still 'stongly dislike' the layout...especially on my pbone.

    *my friend's dog was so anxious/nervous/upset when we met him...he pooped himself whilst barking at me. (he didn't appreciate it when we all couldn't stop laughing either)

    I'm trying to study for anatomy exam that I have this week I learnt about the different shapes of muscles and about joints...hopefully enough to pass my exam.
    Then I have to learn lewis structures and geometry shapes for chemistry?!! I still can't get my head around that.

    When you sand your wooden stairs, dust gets EVERYWHERE. I'm really starting to wish I had closed my office door ... Apparently, dust knows how to travel upward, make multiple turns and settle into crevices on a keyboard. Who knew?

    I watched the Ken Burns documentary about the dust bowl of the 1930s. So I learned a lot that I didn't know before about that.... I actually had no idea it was THAT bad, or that it was a completely man-made environmental disaster. I also didn't know that there were suggestions to just pave over the entire area to stop the problem, lol.

    *windshield wipers can fly off randomly whilst driving down the freeway (oopsie)
    *it pays to shop around for a professional carpet cleaner-I'm so glad my new place only has carpet in one room
    *sometimes when you have a party, you are left with so much beer that you have to have another party just to get rid of it all
    *I ♥ my new beer shirt
