torn asunder

to be honest, since i have homeowners insurance, i'd probably run out to the garage & see what i could take back into the house, so i could get it replaced, cuz all my shit is ooooooold...

fun! i'm envious too! but if i had to go with *my* mom, i'd rather just stay home...

yes, there are a couple ways i know of - one is to alternately press your tongue on the roof of your mouth, then press your thumb right between your eyebrows several times, holding each for several seconds. the theory is that it will cause a slight motion in the cartilage, which may loosen congestion. there are two accupressure points on either side of your nostrils as well. here's a link, and a quote from the page...

i'm feeling sad that it appears to be time to leave some old friends behind, for their benefit. now, to figure out how to make some new ones...

stressed out - 12+ hr workdays this next week or two (and maybe all weekend), and i'm still not fully moved into my new place yet... this is gonna suck!

seems to me that the idea that the police have non-lethal weapons would make a criminal (or even a righteous protester) feel more emboldened to act out, whereas if people knew all the police had were guns, they'd be less likely to risk death. but maybe that's just me...

i can't beleive kalamazoo isn't top of the list!?

"um, excuse me - is this the right room for an argument!?"

precisely. sometimes, venting is all we can do...

i'm feeling like i'm nothing but a piece of shit...

debating whether or not i should meet up with some friends down at ribfest tonight...

ah HAR! thar be a fine lass wot knows how ta pick a date! Thar should be plenty'a lubbers ta pilfer from, whilst schoolin' em' on tha finer points'a pirattical parlance!

there are no mistakes, only outcomes, and lessons to be learned!

no can do... had them on for a while, but actually got bitched at by IT for the amount of content downloading at work. as i said, i do log out & scope them occasionally...

quite true, but it's been suggested that the added prefix has been attached to add emphasis to the word, rather than negate the meaning. it also appears to be common in other languages, although moreso in phrases rather than single words. (quote below is linked...)

while irregardless may be nonstandard, from everything i've researched, it *is* accepted in common usage. i got into a debate with someone about this a while back!

huh... good to know, i'll keep it in mind -

i might think about it, but i don't have any sort of getup to wear, and would feel really out of place in street clothes. would be cool to see people again though...

one strange thing might be that i don't fear dying!? what's one big thing you're afraid of?
