happy to be in one pieceCategory: potpourri
I thought I was prepared for the rain today. I wrapped my pack in a plastic bag, put on my rain pants and shell, and was ready to brave the elements. Let us put an emphasis on brave. I learned something about my bicycle at the most inopportune moment.
As I approached the intersection of Delaware and Utica the light turned red. I applied the breaks only to learn they do not work in the rain, at all. I slid through the red light and almost got rolled over by an SUV. My stomach tried to barf my heart out.
UPDATE: Delayed reaction. I started crying out of the blue, then realized why. Life is so precious. I'm not ready to extinguish my flame just yet.

4 thingsCategory: potpourri
Feeling much better!
I got a new side mirror for my bicycle and that makes me very happy. My old one is really crap and keeps moving out of position. I can't tell you how useful they are if you have to ride in the streets of Buffalo!
I caught up on all my sport pscyh assignments AND completed my final research paper, 3 weeks ahead of schedule. Sweeeeeeeet!
Just 25 more days til graduation. Then I can tell all these bitches, "Peace out Mother Fuckers!". Joy, joy, joy.
P.S. Since I don't have a computer at home at can't say it tomorrow:
HAPPY EARTHDAY

rhetorical goatsCategory: potpourri
I find it entertaining when someone that used to be your friend only contacts you when they need something from you. Do they really think they are fooling you with their rhetorical 'how are you"? Please.
Random item found in office fridge today: pina colada goat ice cream

Can you tell me who made that ice cream? Not out of any desire to try it, I just like to keep tabs on weird foods.

entertaining and annoying. particularly if the friendship ended in fireworks. even more annoying are friends that keep you around just so they can ask a favour.
goat meat or goat milk ice cream? i can totally imagine goat milk ice cream... but hunks of goat meat... now that is weird.

the rest of the trip...
did a double take on this sign on our way to cocoa beach
it was a spectacular warm and sunny day, and i love watching the little sandpipers run in and out with the waves
it wasn't crowded either
but the sand was a little coarse
carey played in the water, but it was too cold for me
the next morning i woke up with a huge swollen bottom lip
RIP the back to the future ride, gone forever as of 3.31.07
the baby buggies were insane there
we decided to get tattoos, do you know this kid makes almost 2 grand a week???
we both got them on our toe, carey got a butterfly, i got an egyptian ankh
we had to check out of the hostel (world map graffiti wall)
but not without leaving our mark
we putzed around in some ghetto dollar store and found this silly toilet seat cover....read closely
killed time at the airport by pushing little kids out of the way so we could have a photo with snow white
i never fail to appreciate the view from the sky
we were humored by the gourmet pretzels

1. I love AirTrans humor. I received something in the mail from them.. the front had some basic message about this being my membership material with a side note: "mail carriers, its ok to be jealous" haha
2. OMG has no idea you took a pic of me while in the ocean. lmao. Surprise picture in a good way- you captured a moment of my life that i had no idea about. Thats cool. I was quite happy to be in the ocean It was *very warm* beyond the first foot.
3. I really need to see what pics i took. I havent even looked at them on the camera. this should be interesting..
4. when do we go back? (i'll keep asking!)

omg...that is soooo fucking awsome! when are you leaving? how are they flying you there? which airline? coach or first class? how long will they keep you there for the interview? will they be putting you up in a hotel? if so, which hotel? will they be providing any food? will they pay moving expenses, like for the flight, if you get offered the job? what is the cost of living there like? will you be living in an apartment that you have to find on your own, or will you be living on campus? how long is the contract for? will you get vacation time, and if so how much? do they pay for flights back home at all? how much are the flights anyway? make sure you take tons of pictures.....this is so fucking cool!
DAMN! good for you! send some of that luck my way! I hope things works out for you...
Kick ass!!
