Hey, June.
Jun. 1st, 2008 05:46 pmPotato> A couple years back, my friend had the greatest christmas tree of all time
Potato> We were 'round at his place, having a post-pissup drink/laugh at lightweight bastards and two cops came in because of a noise complaint
Potato> One of them walks towards the open back door while the other does the usual "Why are you making so much noise" question routine
Potato> The friend in question goes pale as he sees the cop stick his head in the door and only look one way before deciding they were wasting their time
Potato> When they'd fucked off, I asked him what was wrong, he pointed in the other direction and told me to go check out the christmas tree the cop missed
Potato> I stick my head in the door and lo, a 6 foot tall pot plant, complete with tinsel and presents around the base, is sitting in the corner, facing me off, taunting me, goin' "Yeah, fucker, I'm a 6 foot tall pot plant. Ya wanna piece of me, bitch?"
silic0nsilence: So it's black friday at CompUSA.
Slider: Yea
silic0nsilence: We were to open up at 12am. It's 11:58pm and there is a HUGE line of blood-thirsty, hard drive-wanting, maniacs. So my friend dares me to scream we have one xbox360.
Slider: Holy shit.
silic0nsilence: So he gives me $20. I go up to the gate and scream, "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE JUST RECIEVED ONE XBOX360!!" Immediatly people are storming the gate, passing me money through the cage to get it. They were screaming and knocked over this old lady. My boss just looks at me with these red eyes. In them, I saw fear and rage.
Slider: Omg you dumb shit!
Slider: Wait a second, it's 12:46A, and it's black Friday. What did this happen minutes ago? Shouldn't you be at work?
silic0nsilence: Yeah..
silic0nsilence: Pretty sure I don't work at CompUSA any more..
radish> id root you, but im busy trying to work out why it is that whenever i
get paid a series of bills arrive for just about the same amount of money
(@[e]space) going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion
aspuffnstuff: The third one looks like something they used in Star Wards
aspuffnstuff: *Wars
alykat: lol "star wards"
alykat: an epic about a hospital set in space
alykat: "use the forceps, luke"
volcanogirl: come.. to the bed pan. the bed pan!
aspuffnstuff: OBGYN kenobi!
Jonno> What's the difference between regular garlic and roasted garlic?
Arclight> A gypsy once told me it was the roasting, but you shouldn't trust the gypsies
Deffy> Christ is so cool. He's born, I get presents. He dies, I get candy.
(lupin) yeah
(lupin) I'm pissed
(lupin) I went to Wal Mart and they stopped me because I had a backpack
(lupin) and they said "We'll have to hold that for you because of recent events"
(lupin) and I said "Listen, if I were a terrorist, I think I'd pick a better place to bomb or infect than a backwater WalMart. I'd at least go hit the Super Wal Mart in Bryan because I could go get McDonalds on the way to blowing it up."
(lupin) and they let me keep my bag
Yeah. June. You can't fucking tell that its June here, because its been raining for two weeks straight, and I have the knees to prove it.
As of today... 19 more days till blastoff.
I've got quite the survival kit stocked up to get me through. House, daily comic quotas, Sudoku books, and, yes, sleeping pills. I've had enough of this insomnia stuff.
I can't quit thinking about how just plain strange its going to be, going home. It feels like I've been in limbo (not in a bad way, but still) for a year solid. I don't think I'll be able to wrap my head around how long its really been until I get back to Tallahassee.
More and more, I wake up, not sure where I am. Just an hour ago, because of the way the rain smelled, I thought I was in my uncle's house for the four-year family reunion. In the house that got blown away by a hurricane.
I really got nothing. ::shrug::
