About Me

Recently I had a request from my lovely friend to see my old mini-notes in which I wrote down my favorite quotes friends had said. Well, I dug them out and here is what I came up with. I think most of them are “you had to be there” situations.“I love kids who are oblivious, except when they are oblivious and in my way. Then I want to kick them.” – MtheP 3/18/00“ Your guy can’t rise to the equation.” – Me 3/29/00 I don’t remember saying this.“ I fell asleep on the bus today because it was like riding home in a barn of humans.” – MtheP 9/20/05“I don’t want my skin to touch the seat.” - Downtown 12/21/05 About Roseville4.“Turning on the lights on the Christmas tree is kinda like watching fireworks, only a lot more boring.” – PaulyWogg 12/25/05“It’s SOOOOOOOOOOOO RED!” – MtheP 2/9/06 In response to being asked if she would finish her margarita at Ol’ Mex.“This one is about the croissant parade.” - Benn 2/25/06 Styrofoam Duck show.“Do not breath eggs.” – LogOn 3/7/06“Sometimes, you know…your blood clots hurt.” – Downtown 3/11/06“As I remember, it was a nice rack. The dog took it.” - Dad 3/12/06 Speaking of G-Pa’s deer.“That’s whitetail university BABY!” – Steve Bartylla 3/12/06 Deer Show Guy.“Did you see that smack off his forehead? I’m still totally going to eat it.” Downtown 3/16/06“I’ve got the gout.” – Blakey 3/17/06“Oooo. I’m keeping me beers cold, but me nipples colder.” –Blakey 3/17/06“If O’Gara’s took that O off, it wouldn’t be so crowded.” – PaulyWogg 3/17/06“Oh gross. My ovary just popped.” – Me…apparently. 3/19/06“I just got face raped!!” – Downtown 3/19/06 I wish I recalled the actual situation here.“What’s the opposite of cross-eyed?” – MtheP 4/25/06“Steamed milk is scarey. It grows to 3x its original size.” – Downtown 6/30/06“If I were a lesbian I’d totally date Elise. She’s my ideal.” – BritT 6/30/06 That’s right! It’s documented!!“Better nuck lext time.” – LogOn 4/28/07“I’m not even going to have anything to drink the next round. Except for Cheez-its.” – LogOn 4/28/07“Are you cold? Do you want my shorts?” – LogOn 4/28/07 To Mariah.“You gotta shovel a lot of SHIT to feed the pony.” – G-Ma 8/13/07I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
