Met The 'rents
I met (e:libertad)'s mom and husband joe. As most of you know, I am not good at meeting new people. I tend to say inapprorpriate things or stay really quiet. Needless to say they hated me at first but then came around later on. They were really cool, I also met the bro coincidentally named Paul. Everyone seemed really nice and kind and fun. I hope i wasn't too unbearable and embarassing! This was just a quick update , more to come later

P.S. in like the 4 minutes I have been on estirp like 5 people have written a joruanl

Thanks for coming out to meet them. I'm sure they loved you especially for laughing at their stories about the old lonely neighbor. That woman is so sad, but so laughable.

Embarrassing? I was never. Unbearable? Just a little when I was trying to merge into traffic and you were talking so fast I really couldn't concentrate on both.

I loved our time at the beach.

Hhehehe, I love people saying inappropriate things. Rocks my leaky boat! Wait a second... you didn't say much when I met you couple months back... hmmm...

Hey... What's wrong with lovin' Tab???
anywhozits, Mike I am sure that you were as fascinating as ever. I mean seriously, who could not love you? right! You are awesome!!!

That is always a nerve wracking situation. When I have met the families of past boyfriends or Jim's father I instantly become a 1950's kid picking up his date and making talk with their 1950's father. I call them 'sir' or 'ma'am' and pretend to really enjoy their company and beverage selection.

"gee wiz sir, how did you know I love diet Tab!"

it is both hilarious and grotesque.

School Makes Me Watch TV
I was thinking today how this new season I am watching many shows where the last year or two I have hardly watched any shows like in a set way besides like just flipping channels. This year I've already discovered a few gems that I love like Gossip Girl and Dirty Sexy Money and Dancing with the Stars (but it is on too much). Anywho I realized why it is different. I am in school. When I am in school I think I watch more tv because I stay home czu I am like I have to do my work and study but then at the same time as convincing myself of that, I like to avoid work at all costs so I start watching tv while I do my work. I find I do my best work while watching tv, eating and reading the textbook at the same time. Seriuosly though I hate science. Yes I will make a great pharmacist haha. Ok that's all for now...watch gossip girl..i promise you will love it!

Science is busy work
So OMG i realized why I hate science today. it is all busy work. Like the school part at least is all busywork. Like every experiment you do and every formula you figure out , they already know the answer, you are just repeating what someone else has done. Like all the labs are just like do this this and this to get this. And all the homeowrk is like draw these molecules which we know how to draw and see if you are right. There is no like tihking on your own or doing your own thing. i suppose if you get to the point of doing your own research then it is different or soemtihng. BUUUT science classes in school are so dumb and busy work.

Sociology and communications on the other hand allowed you to come up with your own ideas and thoughts and look at things and have to decide what you thought they meant with no necessarily set right and wrong answer. YOu couldn't take the class and just read the book and buy the solution manual and that is all you needed. I guess i hate that about science. A LOT
tinypliny - 09/26/07 00:43
I think that is being somewhat unfair to Science.
No subject stands a chance of being liked if the curriculum is designed by depraved shrunken pedants who are out-of-touch with reality.

Need Some Info on Traffic Tickets
On a ticket you get for say alledgedly going through a red light, what does the date affirmed on the bottom of the ticket mean? On the top it says like date of incident but on bottom it says like date affirmed by the police officers signature. On mine the date affirmed says 8/22/07 but the supposed offense was 9/22/07, I tihnk that it might be an error, and ground for dismissal? Anyonw know?
anne - 09/24/07 10:47
I called my dad and he's going to figure out what the situation is, but he might need to actually look at the ticket to see what exactly it says. Can you like take a picture of it and post it?
anne - 09/24/07 10:40
It very well could be grounds for dismissal. That's something my dad (an attorney as you know) always told me, if ANYTHING is inaccurate on a ticket, it could be dismissed.
kookcity2000 - 09/23/07 23:57
probably not grounds for dismissal

plead not guilty and go to the court date.
The City doesn't let you plead down for speeding tickets so maybe its the same for running a red? Anyways if the officer doesn't show yer scott free
