My at-the-time boyfriend and I once heard a car crash right across the street from our apartment. Horrible noise. A car going about 40 had crashed into a car parked (legally) on the side of the road. Not sideswiped, either; full-on crash. The impact drove the parked car over the curb and about five feet into the lawn. It was daytime, quiet residential neighborhood, and the driver wasn't drunk; she just wasn't paying attention.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There was an accident at a four-way stop a block and a half from me in Wicker Park. Both streets were side streets. It was a four-car collision - two teenagers were racing - both ran the stop sign and hit a car in the intersection, driving it into a parked car. One car then went through a fence and into a building.

When we were driving down to Georgia for my uncle's funeral, we stopped at a gas station. While we were there, I watched a car edge ever so slightly off the road as it approached us and then crash right into a pole. It was very surreal. Especially since my uncle had died in a car accident.

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?
can you believe they let a black guy participate?
Huh? The former mayor of Memphis and current mayor pro temp are both African American.
That being said? Go, pot!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hi ChiKat! How is the new school?

“Not dead yet!”
I'm in bed, mildly cooked on drugs, and surfing vintage clothing sites. This could be bad. Especially since I a) need to lose weight and b) don't need to spend the money since we need it all for our impending move.
That said, I think this dress is very pretty, but I think the color would be ass on me. What say you?

megan walker: The subway ride from Jay St. to Howard Beach was exactly 30 minutes. The AirTrain ride to the terminal was another 25 minutes.

Perfect.
Well, I can't believe the AirTrain alone is 25 minutes, but I guess I can live with an hour total.

It depends on which terminal you're in.
There's a toddler who has been shrieking at the top of his lungs for ten minutes straight sitting near my departure gate.
