i secretly but regularly rate my friends on a very scientific scale of what kind of partner i think they'd be on amazing race and if he/she and i could hack it together, on the show, in the race.
i cannot describe the level of smugness i get from seeing a mistake on a news site OR when it is on the ticker of a news channel.
Reply all emails are annoying as hell.
* I love Diet Coke. Which is important when you're on an extended stay in a country where Diet Coke isn't available. They have "Coke Light" here in South Africa, but it doesn't taste the same. On the other hand, they DO have Tab Cola, which they stopped making in the U.S. when you were about five years old.* Palin scares me. Mostly because there's a huge segment out there who seems to worship everything she says, regardless of how stupid it may be.* I dunno. I like the Facebook birthdays thing. I like to commemorate folks' birthdays. Everyone should have a special day. And Facebook allows me to make that happen for my friends.* Your ex messages you about his dates? That bites. Please send me his address so I can go beat him up for you.* I had hotel food tonight, for the 50th consecutive night. I'd give my left arm for some of Eva Jane's cooking.* I love your blog.
Carissa – I do the same thing. A roommate and I filled out an application one time, but chickened out at the last minute. We regret it..we would've been awesome.Charles – You are right, Coca-Cola Light just isn't the same. And, Tab? I remember it – I think the can was pink-ish. Isn't that stuff dangerous?The ex…we have an un(healthy?)usal relationship, but I'll keep that in mind if he ticks me off.I know you are ready to come back, but I'm still jealous as heck that you are abroad. Tell your mom hello for me!
