Most of the girls at my all girl school were well socially developed. Although I didn't date for forever, I had no problems integrating into the co-ed environment of university.

This was my experience as well...except I dated right away in college...not wisely but I don't think that's because I went to an all-girls school.

I think I caught a cold or some such on the airplane.

bleh. this almost always happens to me. but yay on the homemade soup! That should fix you right up.

hm, anyone have experience in getting rental insurance? We're trying to figure out how much we need, and we are trying to decide between 25K and 50K.

I got mine through State Farm. I think I went for 25K because I only have stuff accumulated for one person instead of two. Even with that, though, I only pay about $100/year for the coverage, so I concur with Jen that it's inexpensive.

yeah, I think we'l go for the 50K of coverage. It is so cheap. I've been on the nag to Tom about this for ages. Had I been able to alter the policy, I would have months ago.

Darn Bill Gate and his "No one will ever need more than 64K of memory."

I think that's the right quote.

640K, but yeah.

Huh. The noise or music doesn't distract me. But, I'm probably using up brain cycles on other stuff like, "What's the speed limit in this neighborhood?" "Oh god, I hope this guy passes me so he doesn't get pissed I'm slowing down at every other street." "That sign said 'Glenbriar' I wonder if that's what she meant when she said 'Glenwood'" My head is so loud already, I think the music is just a drop in the bucket.

Because with the radio turned down, I can tune it out and concentrate on reading street signs.

What Jessica said. I ordiinarily need music when I'm driving, but when I'm lost it's one distraction too many.

I think the music is just a drop in the bucket.

::snerk::

And the seeming absurdity of turning down the music to search for a street sign strikes me every time I do it.

I'm getting my hair cut on Thursday. The cut that I just got didn't last, my hair is now too long to style it like I first did. I want short spiky hair again. I miss it. And several people have work commented on how it suited me.

So I'm trying out my cousin's stylist.

Rental insurance is insanely inexpensive considering how much money they'll give you if all your stuff gets stolen--it's worth it to have enough coverage.

And especially considering how screwed you are if you don't have it.

I had a friend in Atlanta whose house burned down the week after they moved in - electrical stuff, not their fault - but hadn't gotten coverage yet. Lost virtually everything. She went through this kind of insane period for about six months after where she would pimp it to everyone she met - writing Get Renters' Insurance! on the back of restaurant checks and such.
