I took pride in my barbarianism tonight. I don't use napkins, so when I had buffalo sauce on my fingers from eating buffalo chicken tenders I started scraping the sauce off onto the box that was holding the food. Normally I lick my fingers clean, but my mouth was on fire as it was. My roomates girlfriend looked at me and said, "napkins?" I said, "I'm a BARBARIAN DAMNIT!" and kept wiping my fingers on the box. It should be noted that I have two towels of my own, and normally I use whatever clean and folded towel my mom leaves in the bathroom when I shower at home, so I only reuse towels at school. Also, I know it's laundry time when one of two things happen... first is I run out of clothes (my laundry bag says, "One more day and I'll be naked!" hehe), or I can't see the floor anymore.

Meh, being 1/4 Irish meant I had to eat corned beef... and it wasn't that great. Too much fat. I haven't really celebrated St. Paddy's day since my Irish grandmother passed away 9/2005, and she went ALL OUT every year. St. Paddy's anything all over the house and leprechaun paraphanelia everywhere. The only thing about her that was not green was her skin and hair lol.

I feel like a barbarian after reading this post... Wanna know what I do with my towel after using it? It goes STRAIGHT to my bedroom floor This happens in my apartment at school and at home. At school, my shampoo and body wash goes in a gym bag that gets tucked into my closet when not needed. My electric shaver stays forever plugged in by the bathroom sink. The shampoo and body wash is all I have (and all one needs) for cleaning myself, so I don't need ledges lol. At home, since I share a bathroom with my sister, we have a shower caddy hanging from the shower head. It holds several bottles of shampoo, body wash, shaving cream (hers, I don't shave often and when I do, no cream is involved, electric shavers FTW!). The towel comes home with me to be washed, which means it gets washed once every one or two weeks. So repeat with me: 1. Hamper? What's that? 2. Floor. 3. Shampoo and body wash and that's it. 4. Picky cleaner? Get a shower caddy and call it a day.

Yes, the muscles were nice, but I also enjoyed some of the battles, especially the first slo-mo immediately following the first Persian wave. What I didn't like (and considered repititious) was the over-theatrical nature of the entire film. Though that all kind of tied in when I realized in what view the film was in (first-person, third-person, etc.). I kind of feel silly for not realizing it early on. Overall, it was a very good storyline with a few very good scenes.

Some municipalities have laws against cruising, defined as driving your car up and down the same street three or four times, depending on the local government. The cops I hate the most (and anyone, really) are the ones who ASSUME you are doing something, no matter how many times you tell them that you are not doing this thing. Last year, while I was in the dorms, I left my room to go drop the kids off at the pool. At that same exact moment in time, cops stormed my building, looking for somebody involved in a fight who ran from them and was seen entering the building. They asked me if I was doing drugs or drinking and I said no. They said. "Are you sure?" HOW CAN I NOT BE f**kING SURE IF I HAD BEEN POPPING PILLS OR CHUGGIN BUDWEISER? Christ almighty! I said no several times, and when he finally believed me, he took my license to call my name in. Now, I am not a law-breaker by nature, nor do I drink or do drugs, so when the other guys on my floor came out to see what all of the commotion was about, and saw the cops calling MY name in, they were all confused as hell. This past summer I went to see Clerks 2 with my sister, near where it was filmed, and on the way back she was pulled over. She wasn't doing anything wrong, and was pissed off, but she remained calm throughout the ordeal having been more concerned with what the cop was smoking and how this would affect her insurance. The cop claimed she was doing 70mph in a 55mph zone. She said, very calmly, that her speedometer read 55mph. He said, and I quote, "Are you argueing with me?" She said no. "If you're going to be hostile with me, then you can step out of the vehicle and do so out here." OH MAN did I want to kick his ass. He gave her a $104 ticket for obeying the law and the entire way home, her friend who was with us was calling the guy a swarmy bastard. She paid the ticket (we thought she didn't have to since he didn't check off what he used to determine her speed, which further proves he was lying, but the station said he doesn't have to check that off) and never got any points because the "violation" (and I use that term loosely) occured in New Jersey, but her driver's license is in Pennsylvania. Couple that with the fact that no matter what, he had no way of knowing her speed since the only device that was available to him was radar, and radar does not work in the pouring rain (and it was pouring rain that night).

That's basically it right there. You post your stories (chapter stories or short stories, whatever you want) in eFiction. One of these days I'll be doing that myself... maybe in the summer when I have time.

All I can suggest is going onto Nifty, and checking out the high school section. I read one of his stories there for a while. I think it was titled "My New Life", or "New Life", or something to that effect.

I would recommend you watch the movie "Crash". It's a very good movie that shows exactly what you experienced, Ian (minus the fag comment), but also shows how not all cops are like this, and even the bad ones can show their colors when called on. That said, I hold the belief that cops who are not traffic enforcers are good. This comes from someone who has been pulled over five times. Twice for speeding, once for having my front plate in the windshield, once for not speeding (sister was driving, cops was a dueschbag and threatened her, for no reason at all), and once for not weaving (friend was driving...). They used weaving as a excuse to get to me since I had yelled something out of the window when they had just stopped somebody, and elected to go after me instead and yell at me... said I should be thankful that they weren't taking me in... right, ok, taking me in for excercising my right to free speech, stfu pig before you lose your job. The whorebags even gave her a written warning, for something she didn't do. Again, some are on a power trip, others actually do what the decals on their patrol cars say, "to serve and to protect."

Bringing up an old since I don't know if anyone here has updated the NJ bill. http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/...e_gay_marriage/ This doesn't affect me in the least, but it's good to know that legal recognition of gay couples has grown two four states now! Mass., Vermont, CT, and NJ. I'm a little confused over what the one woman in that article said about couples not having the respect of full marriage here... If two guys were legally married and came upon someone who dissapproved, they would not have any respect from that person... just sayin'.

I bought a 19" SyncMaster 940bw from Samsung last september to replace my 17" Compaq CRT. Damn that thing was a Buick. The Samsung is working nicely, but the max resolution is 1440x900, which doesn't come near tapping the power of my GeForce 7600 GT XXX, which came overclocked from the factory...

I would have family there had my sister been accepted to Harvard U for grad school. Now she's looking and hopeing for FSU (me too, this zero degree wind chill is BULLSHIT!). However I still wouldn't join because I have a thing against greek life... Apparently there is one at UPenn, but I never go to Philly.

OH MY GOD! I drove home from school today, and as I was passing through Fort Dix... THERE WERE WHITE BLANKETS ON THE GROUND! It just barely too warm at school last night, so it rained, but apparently is snow NATURALLY as far south as Fort Dix! I'm excited because that means that when I rock Vernon Valley next weekend, it's gonna be fuggin' awesome! Hell, I even got the chance to witness a flurry tonight before I changed out the brake pads on the rear disc brakes on my car!

Best way to start it off is to get pulled over! Haha, I was the cause of it, but not the driver at the time hehe.

Even if we were able to magically cease all pollution (impossible between the Americans, the Chinese, and now the Indians), our atmosphere would continue to decline in health for as many as ten years, as the CO2 in the atmosphere has a long half-life and would continue eating away.

This weekend sucked in the Pocono's. It started to flurry as we were leaving on tuesday... but it rained all day friday and part of saturday. Saturday was 65 degrees! It just got cold enough monday night for Big Boulder to fire up the guns... but Vernon Valley in Jersey is still completely shut down... normally by this time they're 90% open. All things considered... I'm thinking of spending my engineering career on fuel-cell technology.

That, or you're one tricksy goat must be the sunglasses.

2007 is so two hours ago... lol Happy New Year from the tri-state area!

Yeah New Year's kinda crept up on me... in fact so have many holidays this year haha. Aw hell, that means I'm only a teenager for another two weeks... can't blame my antics on adolescence any more

Heh, I just check the site statistics myself and found two surprises... I made top ten posters for the past week, as well as top ten rated members (with one vote lmao). That last one is probably glitched.

It's possible. I wasn't particularly paying attention and was about to close it, when the old one came up. The current one might have come up before then or just slipped past me lol.

I would definately relate to the first movement. My MP3 player came with a few classical works pre-loaded to it, including the first movement. I remember one day staying after classes with my best friend so that he could give a presentation on something for one of his classes, and I sat there playing it over and over, and by the time he was finished with his presentation, I had to 'snap' back into reality. I was a very happy person back then, and so now listening to the music that I listened to back then, and looking at pictures of the cars that I drove then brings me back there. I suppose it keeps me sane nowadays lol.

Interesting... I think this anthology will determine a course of action that I have been considering... which would have to be done before school picks up again, otherwise it'll have to wait until summer. I'll wait to ask, though, once it's been read and reviewed. Yes, I'm self-concious and hungry.

My mother has one in green. Goes with the dark green granite counter tops and the green highlight paint around the over-counter lights. Anyway, if ya'll want to see sad blogs just let me know. I can start one up after all and tell ya'll about the... what is it, three now?... nervous break-downs that I've had in the middle of the night since school ended that nobody knows about I'm pretty sure actively watching the first season of QAF isn't helping either.

I'm resolving to not reset the trip odometer dials in my car so I can see what it does when it hits 1,000 miles... turn to all zeroes again, or wig out on me?
