questioning my authority, bowling with my peeps, talking about writing and then falling asleep before i do it, jack on the rocks, ordering mojitos but never getting them, checking bbc news or the guardian at least 5 times a day, making fun of macintosh computers (haha now you'll have intel chips), talking about going hiking and then falling asleep before i do it, rosarito, listening to KPCC, comics and cartoons, reading 5 books at a time and finishing 2 of them, learning, talking about sleeping and then falling asleep before i do it, kissing girls and their moms, spelling better than you, making vegan cookies, Super Bowl Shuffles, thinking myself into a corner, being a punctuation nazi, thinking about updating my profiles and then falling asleep before i do it.
"Perhaps the immobility of things that surround us is forced upon them by our conviction that they are themselves and not anything else..." Is Proust trying to say I made Christopher Reeve a criple? Fuck. Damn.Anyways, it's a toss up between the Zak Attack and Kool Aid Man. If I need to be reminded of the importance of friendship... the Zak Attack for sure, but if I'm in prison and really thirsty, I think I would prefer Kool Aid Man burstin' through that wall.

Best movie I've seen recently... Fast Food Nation. If we ever watch a movie together, be forewarned, I hate almost everything.... yeah i'm sort of that asshole, but if I like you or you have boobies, there is a good chance I'll lie and say I liked it.
I REALLY love One Tree Hill. I especially like that one character and the words that they say. That's really awesome!
