This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You know shit's going to be difficult when you choose that name.

I wonder how often he gets called Threeric.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm sitting in the airport waiting for my 6:30 flight to get here, and just got a text message about the delay. I mean, I guess that's nice, but I'm already here!

If he's really young, he could be young enough that his PARENTS named him 3ric.

I wonder how my college's roommate's old friend Sun King Davis is doing on Google+.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The price of used cars with good fuel economy has gone up a lot since the beginning of the year due to rising fuel prices.

Man, the Toyota dealership sends me e-mails every other month or so, practically offering me hookers and blow if I'm willing to sell back my Echo to them. Mind you, it's 11 years old and has over 130,000 miles on it. But they still want it (very likely because it still averages 32-33 mpg).

I went to college with an attention-whore eccentric young woman who legally changed her first name to have an exclamation point at the end. And she made people say her name that way, with an uplift at the end. I did not like her.

Heh. How do you feel about David Malki !?

I spell my name with an exclamation point, like so: David Malki !

It’s considered an honorific, and used in the same manner as “Jr.” or “PhD”: there’s a single space before it. The exclamation point is not pronounced — though many have tried, often with hilarious results.

Sounds like Sandi! from that SJP movie.

The Toyota dealer tried to get us to sell back our 2010 Matrix to them, and presumably buy something like an SUV. Nuh uh. I also, oddly, got a marketing email from the local Volvo dealership at my work email. Like I can afford a Volvo on my salary!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He changed it to 3ric. It's all on him.

I want to be ita ! now. But not an uplift--you have to raise your eyebrows at the end of my name. Yes, I shall be ita ! De La O. Bow down and profess your love to me, because I am that ridonkulous.

(I am sitting at my desk making ! faces--luckily no one can see my desk from where they sit)

Wasn't that SanDeE* ? I remember the "big S, small a, small n, big D, small e, big E."

Also, because I think they would sell it for $10,000!

I actually just really wish Rochester would get a zipcar that I could get without taking a bus. I am only thinking of getting a car because about 2X per month, I need to drive. The only problem is that I think if I get a vehicle the rides I get would dry up. But, I want to be able to take my kitty to the vet... she is getting old.

I just begged out of the intramural volleyball tourney this week by saying I was childish and a bad competitor. If you laugh when you say it, they don't treat you like it's true.
