Was I Speeding, Officer?
My streak of three warnings has ended. I received my first speeding ticket on the way to work yesterday morning. Those sneaky little cops in VA--I didn't see him until he stepped in front my lane. He stuck out his nasty palm and signaled me into a parking lot. JERK OFF...didn't he see that I was only a 15 year old (trapped in a 22 year old's body)? Usually when I get pulled over, they ask if I have some type of emergency--didn't even ask me! What if my poor grandmama fell out of her wheelchair in Taiwan, and I was rushing to her aid?! Jerk....
On another note, aren't the Olympics exciting to watch? I get so frigg'n tense when I watch swimming and gymnastics even though I don't give a lick about either sport and I already know the outcome...haha. I love it when the commentator's like, "Oh my gosh, watch this next move, it's a fantastic double layout with a smirnoff twist! ...Oh! That was amazing!"--Like half the audience can tell the difference between the flippys and whatnots. Or when they're like, "Oh my...that's going to be a tenth of a deduction. Her little pinky toe was NOT inline with the rest of her body." I can never tell if they screw up. Even when they fall off an apparatus I think they're just incorporating the floor into routines. I'm waiting for the day when one of the male gymnasts pops a vein while on the still rings.
But oh boy, that Michael Phelps--he's got sooooome body. But that LISP! I can't stand it--I wanna go, "Shhhhh, shhhh, Michael--don't speak. Try and signal what you want to say." Why is that all the guys in the summer olympics look hot (including those weightlifters), while the girls just look BUTCH...like they're saying, "I wanna EAT you!!!" Ehhh...minus those volleyball girls I guess.
So that's my take on the olympics so far. I will post pictures soon (alice). And to all you WASH U folks, people who are moving, and soon-to-be teachers--best of luck moving in and getting ready for a new year (:

Oh yeah? Well I AM Carly Patterson! I'm just disguised as the ACF staff-worker! Oh, by the way Jen, the guy from the State Department is coming by tomorrow to "ask some questions". Do I have to reveal the fact that I'm really a woman gymnast masquerading as a heterosexual married father of two?

this entry sounds like a "Sex in the City" episode. I can hear Carrie Bradshaw in my voice saying those words....I miss you Jennifer! Oh and that FBI guy came to the apt. to talk with me and melissa...I felt like I was on "24" answering questions about your potential relations w/ foreign countries :)

diamonds So the experience of death is turned into that of the exchange of functionaries, and anything in the natural relationship to death that is not wholly absorbed into the social one is turned over to hygiene. In being seen as no more than the exit of a living creature from the social combine, death has been domesticated...
