odd
small
southern
east coast-y
cheaper than SF
did I say odd?

I have learned that "sweet behind the ears" means gay and that the confederacy does not necessarily represent "hatred". Well id does to some people, but not to everyone.

Mostly it's just a really small town with a lot of history.

Landed in DC with Dana last night just in time to attend her brother's pool party and hang out with lots of kids I hadn't seen in years. Funny how time stands still....and doesn't. On to Richmond this afternoon, just in time to start school tomorrow. I promise to post updates regarding the trip soon, but for now, let me just say...it's good to be home.

This Picture always makes me smile....so I thought I'd share it with you!

Ugh, I have barely started packing and I'm already completely bored with it. BOOOORING....I would much rather be doing anything other than this, and yet....

Dude, books for school are expensive..but used books on Amazon are cheap. I was much more worried than I should have been....who are these wingnuts that buy new books?

My morning walk consisted of:

A Bum puking on the sidewalk while I was walking past him, a Car Honking PROFUSELY...at PEDESTRIANS, the price of my coffee going up by .25 and 3 people asking me for spare change. I am SOOOOOOOoutta here.

Conversely, I always wanted to attend El Rio's Patio Salsa party on Sunday's, which I finally went to this weekend. Can I just say, Effing Awesome. If you live in the city, you simply must attend.

So I just finished a summer acting class that I had originally enrolled in because I needed the credits. Like the other classes that I took because I had too, I entered this one with the requisite grumbling. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

• Being able to express my emotions freely is not an attribute I often indulge in. Here was a chance to wail, whine or cry without judgment, and in fact WITH applause.
• People in these classes, (but for a few) are outgoing and affable. My classmates were delightfully witty and pleasantly critical.
• Half of the class is spent playing ridiculous games. One of them involved standing in front of someone else saying the same word over and over...."Maybe" "Maybe" Maybe" "Maybe" Maybe" "Maybe" Maybe" "Maybe" ....I know it sounds weird, but you would never believe the subtext that emerges after 5 minutes of saying the same word back and forth.
• I'm really good at acting. I mean, better than I thought....I definitely want to keep doing it.

Who knew college could be fun?

I just figured out how to send pics from my phone....watch out Blog, it's gonna be Picture-A-Go-Go in this MoFo....

Play any instrument or speak any language, which do you choose?
Question submitted by cruftbox.vox.com.

Hmmmmmm, I suppose speak any language since I'm such a language voyeur. Also, learning to play an instrument is (IMHO) a lot easier than learning a language.

So, apparently I had my door closed and my CoWorker was discussing how to get the couch I'm giving her and her roomate to her house. How they made the leap from moving couches to pant removal is perplexing, however, I found this transition to be more natural than one might think, and so I am sharing it with you.

coworker i've gotta figure out how to get the couch, too. i think i'll
pick up the couch and tia at the same time & perhaps i'll do all of
that the weekend of 8/12-13 or 8/5-6. I'll ask her too, i just figure
the sooner the better so that she can concentrate on other things
closer to the move
roomate: are you going to get a uhaul
coworker i might. still gotta see - do u know anyone with a truck?
roomate: nope
coworker i bet i could get johnny to help me up the stairs again
roomate: you have that one friend who you only call when you need his
truck though!
coworker and i gotta get rid of the current couch
maybe we can use the opportunity to rearrange the living room, too
roomate: sounds great, summer it up
coworker oh chris! i think he's getting married soon, not sure if he'll be
in town & i'd feel horrible
roomate: haha
coworker there's gotta be someone from meditation, or something.
roomate: totally
coworker maybe i can get kat to borrow sean's truck:\ yuck!
roomate: you could put a stamp on it and ask the mailman to do it
just one stamp i think would do it
or put wheels on it and ride down divis
? options options
coworker brilliant! we can collect skate boards & just roll them
down hill all the way home! we cold bungee the couches to the boards!
roomate: and carry the mailman with one hand
coworker maybe roll the couches with the mailman on one of them!?
roomate: and start a march in the blessed name of couches
coworker might he help us up the stairs if we put a stamp on the
whole package?
roomate: cool its a plan, and play gospel recordings to the homesless
yea i think he would help
he is nice
he might take off his pants
and then i will as well and no one will wear pants ever again
coworker maybe we could drop fixed station portable radios for all the
homeless people that we encounter along the way
pants so need to go, anyway
roomate: great idea, and we can tell them that even though they have no
money and are in debt they are also in debt with god because he made
them so they better start praying hard
coworker and then we could get all the homeless people to drop their pants
too!
roomate: haha
that would be awesome
they dont need them
coworker nobody needs them!
roomate: and we would say on loudspeakers
"take off your pants"
you sir over there
take off your pants
coworker "god wants you to take off your pants!"
roomate: pants=devil worship
coworker pants = satan!
shed satan!
roomate: shit i kind of want to take off my pants
all of the evil on my legs is overwhelming
coworker do it! i will do it too!
roomate: its worth lossing your job- the revolution has begun
coworker shit, i can't stand all the evil surrounding me in this office!
roomate: pants everywhere?
coworker everywhere!
roomate: lord almightly
take them away
coworker i'm affraid it's the only thing i can do to save my soul! SHED
PANTS!
roomate: could you send that fax over, the pants you are wearing
fax them
just so i believe you that you took them off
my extension is 239048390
my receptionist will burn them
coworker wait - i wasn't supposed to burn them myself?
shit!
roomate: fax them
coworker too late! the fire alarm has already sounded & the
sprinklers in the ceiling are pouring out water
roomate: shit
coworker this place is a mad house...everyone's taking off their pants &
burning them!!!
roomate: haha
coworker burning pants!!
roomate: the cats took their pants off
coworker SATAN WILL NOT HAVE MY SOUL! jesus saves - everyone must burn their
pants!
roomate: okay i gotta get off of this machine and make some
fooooooooooood, let me know what your plan after work

jenny opens her door.
roomate: and make sure jenny takes off her pants
