I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Because books.

We were teenagers! Drunk ones! At one a.m.!

It sounds much better now, I think. Um.

“Not dead yet!”

I do, Kat. At least, I've seen it at the Yakima Fruit Market.

Y'know, I've never actually made anything with rhubarb? I should try a strawberry/rhubarb pie I think. The strawberries have been absolutely spectacular around here.

I found a reference to "Namaste, Motherfucker" from 2003, and it made it sound like it'd already been around for a long time. Anyway, not that important.

"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

And sometimes we see an Indian dude walking out of a bank and say "Namaste," probably to make him feel nice, but instead we totally make him feel weird and Other-tastic. There is no winning!

Personally I would avoid doing so because I've seen a few too many pretentious New Age types using it as a greeting before they start rambling about auras. From a person of Indian or Nepalese origin: a gentle and respectful greeting; from a lifestyle coach or smoothie barrista: a sure sign that I should leave before my eyes get stuck rolled back toward the interior of my skull.

Hee, Matt!

Well, it looks like I'll either get a B+ or an A- in my class; it all depends on how I did on the final quiz tonight. If I get either 9 or 10 (out of 10), it's the A-. I'lll know next week at our final class!

Oh, and I spent nearly an hour chatting with the prof after class tonight (we got out an hour early). She said that I was a great addition to the class dynamics not just because of my job experience, but even more so because of my "enthusiasm."

I warned her on day one of the class to tell me to zip it if I started talking too much!

java, I'm sure Lea wasn't the first person to say it, but she was the first on this board, if I recall.

Oh man.

I should do my work and yet am uninspired.

My mom has an awesome strawberry rhubarb pie recipe. It is my favorite pie EVER.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Heh, Matt.

I love being happy for my friends.

And I love being happy so that my friends can be happy for me!

Dan and I NEED to come out to SF. There are so many people out there I know. I think it would be a lovely city to visit as a belated honeymoon. That, or New Orleans is on my list.
