Here is my Monday update:
I've been wildly busy lately. This morning, I've had coffee cake and this afternoon I get regular cake! Lots happening.
I recently learned that I can, in fact, mow my own lawn. I can successfully climb onto the roof of my car if I need to, and I can use a nutcracker in place of pliers in a pinch. I can assemble things if they have directions.
I didn't watch the derby, but I did have a mint julep just to be fancy. Yes, that's as "fancy" as it gets, folks.
Oh, and I watched The Bodyguard for the first time yesterday. It wasn't that bad.

Also, anyone know where to get a lot of free boxes? I really don't feel like buying all that cardboard just to throw them away, seems wasteful. I am only going to move so often and don't plan on keeping them.

My senior year in high school, I couldn't get into a study hall - schedule conflicts - so despite already taking two years of Spanish, I decided to take French one with the good looking basketball coach who started that year. On the first day, after class let out, Coach Cline pulled me to the side and mentioned that he appreciated my enthusiasm for learning, not many seniors signed up for a new language. I looked at him and said, "Come on, Mike, let's not fuck around. We both know why I'm here".
So after a trip to see the guidance counselors, I got my schedule re-worked so I could have study hall instead. Oddly, Coach Cline was my study hall advisor.

@Jessica, am I reading this right? Maybe? So, you only took the class because you thought he was cute and then tried (pathetically and bluntly) to seduce him? When this failed, you instead changed your schedule and somehow ended up in study hall with him?

Also, I learned something new. Cats are the only animals that domesticated themselves. I am pretty sure this proves dogs are better than cats. Our Paleolithic ancestors chose to keep dogs around, cats just sort of showed up.

You could have just gotten into trouble. Dentention was somewhere I got a lot of homework done (if I bothered to do it at all). However, I worked on my bus drivers farm and he was cousins with the principal, so I rarely got detention for any of the shit I did.
"Tommy, I need Matt to roundbail this afternoon.
"Alright, Matt, you'll have to do dentention some other day."

Why get in trouble? That's silly. I got my way, and I got strange looks from Coach all year long. Win/Win.
My friend sent me a copy of a picture he found in an old scrapbook, it's of me. I have apparently been cut out of the surrounding photo, pasted to a white piece of paper, and one of my arms has been severed. I can't figure out if I should be terrified or not.

Oy. Again with this shit? Like first it was....wait, what was it...mirror eyes and some strange oral fixation.

Well, I went ahead and emailed him and asked why my arm was missing. Seemed like a legitimate question. He said it was because I had a cigarette in the other hand, and he wanted to crop it out.
Which doesn't sound exactly legitimate, but close enough I'll buy it.

A friend of mine in another department, just got tickets to an O's game tomorrow (company gave them out) guess who's going to the Rangers v. O's tomorrow, and then field O's v. Rays level Friday! Everything is coming up Matt!

I was attempting to type that noise Whitney Houston made in that song, but it doesn't translate well visually.
AH-IAIAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIII will always love YOOOOOOoOOOOOOoooOOOOOOOU.
See? Terrible.
I kept waiting for her to sing that song. And then I missed the end. Which I guess is where she sings it.
I revised. I revised some more. I sponcered an indie developer with a fifth of my paycheck. I felt good about myself and played internets.
I think I may get pizza tonight. A friend of mine asked me to go see the Hunger Games, but....meh
Also, anyone know where to get a lot of free boxes? I really don't feel like buying all that cardboard just to throw them away, seems wasteful. I am only going to move so often and don't plan on keeping them.
Maybe I could build a fort though.
Um. Go to pretty much any store and ask them to save you some. Bookstores, grocery stores, fast food restaurants...
They always say they threw them away and don't save them. Bastards.
They must hate you for some reason. Can't imagine.
I know, right?
Also, I am going to my last O's game as a resident of Charm City Friday night. My friend got us field level seats!
I swear to everything holy if they lose, there will be blood. I won't do anything, but it's Baltimore, I am sure there will be blood somewhere.
I fucking love Utah!
woot, a french exam this afternoon. I'mma have FUN!
C'est une bonne chose!!
I'm always amazed we get through it with so few deaths, although it is sad that man died.

Um, no. I wanted to take study hall, I just had to figure out how to get a scedule change. This was the obvious solution.

Because I was bored.
The mirror eyes and slot mouths happened to my "friend". Sheesh. And they didn't happen.
My crudely clipped photo did happen.
I think it was supposed to be nostalgic.
There's no nostalgia like the nostalgia of finding out someone has made a voodoo doll of you. Makes you feel pretty special.
This is the only place with stories that sound sort of like mine.

Wait. I can count at least TWICE you've given me shit for smoking. Mmmmhmmmm
I do need to quit though. I never will, but I'll keep saying that so people think I will.
I quit smoking almost 8 years ago. I'm allowed to give weak-willed people shit for smoking.
LOL
So....who votes for Chinese food for lunch? I have on a cute top and I need validation from the hostess about how nice I look.
I vote!
I went to Wawa for lunch. Then, standing in line realized I wasn't hungry. I only bought a pack of Marlboros and a root beer.
I had a mayo-chutney-cheese sandwich! And a juice!
A friend of mine in another department, just got tickets to an O's game tomorrow (company gave them out) guess who's going to the Rangers v. O's tomorrow, and then field O's v. Rays level Friday! Everything is coming up Matt!
I thought doing things even though you know they're bad required a strong will.
Aw, man...
I need to reread all that stuff.
It really doesn't matter who goes. All that matters is that the Rangers will win.
Lies. What really matters is: I will be right near home plate and will be able to throw beer bottles at the Rangers. LOL
Remember my friend, Smilegirl?
Ah. TD. You're a card.
serious?
but seriosly, she's adoreable
BATTLE ROYALE!!
what of it, joseph?
@Doll - what would you have done if he just politely turned you down, or just said I know and winked?
Probably taken French.
I just like saying "BATTLE ROYALE!!"
It's catchy.
concur
Also, if todays game is rained out, I will.....do....something. I'll be mad dammit!
Tom Gabel, the singer for Against Me! is going to become a woman.
Good for her!
Also, my candy drawer is void of candy.
That's what the he-she said. ZING!
