I just got home from Highland Park, tommyrot, and it was raining up there. Good nose!
I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Gosh I miss those window-rattling midwestern thunderstorms.

Replace "midwestern" with "New England," and Laga is me.

I want to find that car's owner and reward them sexually.
Totally. It's even blue. They win.

I used to work in a restaurant that took over a mansion built in 1847. Wow did that place get to rocking in bad thunderstorms. The crystal chandeliers would sway and it seemed like the very walls rattled with the force of electricity.
Come to think of it, you Chicagoans might know the place (and if not you durn well should 'cause it's a damn good restaurant) as Meson Sabika on Aurora Avenue in Naperville.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Gosh I miss those window-rattling midwestern thunderstorms.I miss desert thunderstorms. I think I always will. They just smell right.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Test-taking is definitely a skill of its own apart from learning a given subject. I was one of the top 3 students in my high school on standardized tests, but I was in about the 96th percentile for actual overall grades, which I think was the more accurate reflection of how I compared to the herd.
Though that's nothing compared to my Intro to World Lit professor in college, who took a German Test cold without studying and got in the 98th percentile, and won some statewide competition for a Home Ec test when she'd never taken any courses in it.
Conversely, a friend's sister who is a very smart woman and a respected medical professional got a composite ACT score of 4.

Yay for cribs!
Laga, not only are the COMMics cracking me up, but I love your titles for them.
I am a little ball of stress right now. I have GOT to hear about the house I applied for today or I will quite possible implode.

I woke up at 5:30, which with the time change is an hour later than my usual time. I was so tired last night that I tried to go to sleep at 10 PM (which is an hour later by my body clock, anyway) and succeeded, which means I did 2% socializing at the con on Thursday night.
(2% because I said Hi to Chip Hitchcock. There seems to be a strong NE contingent at the con this year.)
(Oh, and I said hi to Nutty on the phone. But I could have done that back in Somerville.)
Madison is way pretty from my hotel window. There are lakes all over the place, and pretty buildings. Must explore!
