It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I just saw that subway sign today. I don't like it there. (I'm also having a hard time drafting this post without using a semicolon because I don't want to be punny.)

I never took geography and it was never offered as a class in my high school.
I had geography as part of Social Studies, K12, and straight geography classes in college. I love geography, although I was always crap at the memorization parts. But most of what I did memorize has changed by now anyway, so I don't feel too horrid for having forgotten it. And learning about the cultures and environments is just cool.

oh shit, is Easter coming soon? Ack! How soon? I mean, can I ignore it for another week or so, or will that get me in hot water?
We totally missed out on Valentines day this year, too sick. I really can't blow off another fun holiday, plus it's the last good excuse for Sees candy in months.

Easter is on my birthday, March 23rd. First time that I remember the two coinciding--I remember a few Good Friday birthdays, but no Easter ones.
