old

This tag is for all of my SUPER OLD Blog posts from both my original "free talk" section on my website (circa 1998-1999), and my blogger site A Day at the Races (1999-2008). I think there may also be some old livejournal mixed in here, too. This tag just delineates what is originally from those older blogs.

    when the gangster was my mom

    I was driving home this afternoon, and this car gets in behind me, and is kinda following me. So I’m thinking, y’know, if you want to go faster, pass me fool! There’s two lanes! But then the person starts flashing their lights at me. (and, if I were Catherine at this point, I would have started screaming that THERE IS…

    when i really needed spring break

    Yesterday in class, we started going over the SAME FREAKING STUFF I’ve had last semester and just like, 2 weeks ago in my other class. I was on the verge of pulling my hair out. Instead, I stopped taking notes and drew a gigantic explosion on the page, and wrote underneath it, “I HAVE EXPLODED.” And then I just sat…

    when i couldn’t remember

    Man, today I was actually listening to the radio instead of the Ipod, and I heard this song I liked. But now I don’t remember anything about it, not how it went, or any of the lyrics, or anything. That sucks!

    when the sims were streaking

    Haha I got Sims 2 University to work for a while… (I think I pinpointed the problem, I think my computer is getting too hot and it’s automatically turning off to protect itself… I’m going to get a cooling table for it) OMG it’s HILARIOUS when they streak!! I had everybody in the house streaking at one point. I especially…

    when there was cheesecake

    Several reasons why today sucked: 1. Had to watch West Side Story in class. I really don’t care for that movie. 2. Had to go back to work after school – I get out of class at 4:30 so I was there until like 5:30. Yuck. 3. Macaroni Grill got my order wrong. Actually, my mom called it in wrong,…

    when i questioned mara’s wedding dress

    One of the things that disappoints me about the Star Wars universe is the subject of marriage. I haven’t really thought about it or looked into that much, my memory may be a bit fuzzy in a few places, but why is that “a long time ago in a galaxy far far away” so much of the Earthly, western ideal…

    when i was selected

    Shock the monkey! I got a call today from someone from the Marriott. They referenced my reservation I’d made for Dragoncon, a couple of weeks ago. At first I’m thinking, oh crap, something has screwed up. But then she says that when I made my reservation, I was selected to receive an offer – I get to stay at any…

    when there was a guy with a sledgehammer

    Yesterday on my way to work, I stopped to get gas. Whils I was standing there letting it fill up, I turned around to watch traffic. There was some road construction happening at the corner, but nothing that was holding up traffic. Out of nowhere, one of the construction guys walks right out into oncoming traffic and starts pounding on…

    when i tried telling a story

    Remind me to go back to telling stories on my blog. I was rereading my old archives, and god, I don’t post the same way I used to. I want to get back to that. What’s a story I could tell… hmm… Ok, so I started typing a story and it sucked. So I erased it. I’ll try again tomorrow.

    when i got busted

    So I got busted in the mouth in the basketball game tonight. Bleeding and everything! It was cool. I didn’t get to play much after that though, cause of the, y’know, bleeding.

    when i made a xanga

    btw, I made a xanja journal – Cath made me join, so I did. It’s not going to be anything major, this and my LJ are still going to be my main journals. I’m using it right now a little bit because I like that I can select the album/tv show I’m watching or listening to, and the fact that…

    when schedules clashed

    Ooooooof I am in pain from the basketball game……..! We lost, but we won. Go figure. (we won by forfeit, but we went ahead and played them by loaning them one of our players, and we lost. haha) I am sad because I’m not going to be here for RAT’s play. It’s on the EXACT same weekend as Celebration III.…

    when kevin found his true calling

    I’m keeping my cousin this week, and this afternoon I went to Hobby Lobby to use my gift cards I’ve racked up over the past half year. When in the bead/necklace/etc aisle, he found this pendant that looked like a sword. He asked if he could have it, and since it was only $3 and was in a super good…
