ann arbor is a cool town. it's home to the university of michigan. it has a fairly diverse population, and a pretty even split between yuppie-types, and tree-huggin' types.

tons of coffee shops, lots of "bohemian" kinds of stores--the college students keep that scene going strong, art galleries, lots of bookstores, great restaurants, lots of good but small music venues. it's a very manageable-sized city. i like it a lot, and i also went to college here way back when. i think i'll be moving to a bigger city in a year or so, though, once i get my life stabilized.

that pad thai pic was up since this morning......i hate how it doesn't show up right away for everyone....

i don't know yet.....i'm told that the san francisco area has the exact climate i want. maybe chicago again. we'll see what i'm in the mood for when the time comes.

i don't have instant messenger--wait, i have yahoo, but i've never used it--wait, i used it once a long time ago. i've done the sg chat thing--wait, you were there that time, the second time i'd used it. wait--

oh, nothing, i just wanted to say wait again.

i think i'd like to see what a 6'2" guy looks like when he gets all "jibbery" about something! hahaha
ya wanna chat, then?

you're right... oreos are totally worth dying for

my favorite grocery store pick up line:
"they say this goes good in stirfry. personally, i like to stick it up my ass. wanna do it for me?"
i've licked the couch from time to time, and it's not so bad.

Re: tell me about your parents

My mom is an independent paranoid neurotic creative intelligent virgo with a short fuse. My dad is a chain-smoking hard-drinking harley-riding tattooed goateed equally intelligent fiercely sarcastic scorpio.

The stepparents don't get an honorable mention. They are tolerable at best...... and bland. Very bland.

My mom's been married north of eight times and my dad's an ex-con. Seriously.

re: Nah, fuck it. Best to act like we don't give a shit. Let 'em have their fun. I started a thread in good fun about having a Boys Only group, and shit, first page some girl says I must have a tiny penis. Fuck that.

it's good to have goals....

my parents are really cool. i like them. they like me too.

"severely freaking out (and harvesting more corn by the second)"
this is my favorite line from your story--hilarious story!

make sure you clear the history, unless you don't care.....but something tells me that it wouldn't be good to have cassaroni finding out about it.

g'night!

Are you a Keith too?

I'm dishwater blonde -- does that count?

I'm going to hold you to your promise of a story and a question

......to keep your journal noisy and raucous while you're temporarily away from the 'puter........

.....but i don't know, i kind of like the quiet in here. i drove the hour home from work after dark fell tonight and chased a heat lightening storm across southern new england, watching the lightening strike without sound. your journal is like that today.

well, that's mighty neighborly of ya. maybe check down at the frisco freeze! have they installed the bulletproof glass yet?

they don't have to be good, but if they're not, then there wont be a second... so at least the first one has to be good...

i want a t-shirt that says
"i went to delaware and all i got was this stupid rash".

oh, just ignore me.

really, ignore me. i'm supposed to be writing a cover letter, so i'm banning myself from sg until tonight. i'm a real hard-ass, man. i hate workin' for me. no wait--i just hate workin'.

yeah, i just sent out about a dozen resumes... (and necessary support letters).

in the past, i've brought back t-shirts/sweatshirts that say "DELAWARE" across the front... lots of questions/jokes ensured.

but they fuckin' RAWK! estrus records is one of the greatest things to come out of the northwest. one of my favorite labels. i'm really going to bed now, so don't tap on my window to borrow my big joe turner box set.

nothin' in the fridge to raid. it's a dry house, remember?
unless, of course, you want an o'douls....or a YOO HOO!

you win a year's supply of rice-a-roni, the san francisco treat.

hey, carrie-ann moss is canadian, maybe she got a second job to pay rent while she pursues a career in acting... ah the arts, they never pay well enough.

and don't you fret about the pies, they're safely stashed in my freezer, waiting for dreary rainy cold wet winter nights.

can you whip me up a gateau?

it's edgar allen poe.

a gateau is a flourless cake, i believe. that makes it super duper dense--i had a chocolate gateau once that was the best fucking dessert i've ever had.

what's a dirt cake?

i'm hittin' the hay now. nighty night!
