And now, for consistency’s sake, it’s the FridayFive. 1. Do you like talking on the phone? Why or why not? Sometimes Ido. It depends greatly on who I’m talking to. 2. Who is the last person you talkedto on the phone? My mom. The call was made to dish out some friendly revenge. 3.About how many telephones do you have at home? I’d venture to say that our modemsoutnumber our phones. We have one real phone and two cells. The only reason I gota real phone line is cause my TiVo needsone to update. 4. Have you encountered anyone who has really bad phone manners?What happened? I think that person is usually me. When I’m at work I have verylittle tolerance for phone conversation. Most of the time I’ll answer the phone with”yo quiero taco bell” or just not say anything at all. Oh, and it still makes me chucklewhen I ask someone a question and then hang up. ha ha. Since we have caller-id I’veonly been burned once by someone important calling from a non-important’s phone. 5.Would you rather pick up the phone and call someone or write them an e-mail or a letter?Why or why not? Depends on what kind of correspondence it is. I tend to be morepowerful via the written word. Plus, a letter can serve as a nice memento. These questionswere stupid. If I were to do it all again, I’d play the role of a 15 year old girland gush about how I couldn’t live without my celly and my peeps.

To whom it may concern: Please stop wasting my time. If you cannot find it in yourself to use proper grammar and spelling in your Instant Messages, don’t expect me to participate. I am tired of reading what looks like a second grade workbook lesson just because you are too lazy to type out words like “are”, “you”, and “two”. For example, I will not respond to a message that reads “r u going out 4 drinks tonite?” JUST FING TYPE IT OUT! I’m sick of your apathy cannibalizing the English language. Dull does not even begin to describe conversations that are limited to three and four letter words. Instead, impress me. Show me eloquence.

It’s the FridayFive, six days late: 1. What was the last song you heard? Dashboard Confessional- Age Six Racer 2. What were the last two movies you saw? uh … I don’t likemovies all that much. The only one I can remember is Lord of the Rings. (if only being in amovie counted :) 3. What were the last three things you purchased? WaWa TunaShorti, $10 of 97 octane gas ($10 was all I could afford), and the Burger King WesternWhopper. (what a healthy lifestyle I live) 4. What four things do you need todo this weekend? This weekend I should catch up on TiVo, clean (how does my roomget so messy over the course of 4 days?), replace my left low-beam headlight, (ona sidenote, when I was outside the other day replacing the right headlight, I couldn’thelp but feel like that tool on MTV’s “I’m a street racer” who was proclaiming tothe police that his headlights were a “peppermint” color.) And lastly, and above allelse, this weekend I must get some. 5. Who are the last five people youtalked to? In reverse order … David, My Mom, Eric, Scott, and Lori. “Howdy’s”and “how are ya’s” weren’t taken into account, nor were IM messages. I’d alsolike to offer my apologies for a terribly mundane Friday Five.

… bashed, befuddled, bombed, boozed up, buzzed, canned, crocked, drunken, f’ed up, flushed, flying, fuddled, gassed, glazed, groggy, hammered, high, hosed, in orbit, inebriated, jolly, jugged, juiced, laced, liquored up, lit, lush, merry, muddled, oiled, on a bun, overcome, pie-eyed, plastered, plowed, potted, seeing double, sloshed, smashed, soaked, sotted, soused, stewed, stoned, tanked, tight, tipsy, totaled, wasted, and zonked.care to join me?

Em: so, um Em: I just had beer & ice cream for dinner Me: like a beerfloat? Em: no no no

Which got me thinking … I bet a Guinness and icecream float would be good. I’d try it when I got home, but all I have on hand is BuschLight and I think some Chunky Monkey. I guess while Guinness and ice cream soundsgood, I can also imagine the beer float concept going wildly awry when some collegekid decides the best he can afford is a Natty Ice Float.

And here I always thought I was Asok

So without further ado, let the debauchery begin.

This weekend I had the privilege of attending dual happy hours. Since there were reports of another kickass snow storm on Friday, we decided to have a Snow Emergency Happy Hour on Thursday. Unfortunately we were too consumed with our drinking to catch the 11 o’clock news that was telling us we would indeed have to work the next day. Enough said; the lesson I learned that day: Never drink on a Thursday as if it were a Friday.Friday brought a headache, a depressing two inches of snow, and another great happy hour.Saturday I was excited to find out that Brian was home from DC for the weekend and wanted to hang out. If it weren’t for him, I’d have no idea what was going on the in the world of land use and urban planning. :) He stopped by for a little to catch up, then we went to the pub in conshy to meet up with Dawn. It was nice seeing her. Ok, it was really nice seeing her.Sunday I went out with Lori and her friend with the intention of having “one drink.” Although we all have goals, we should keep in mind that they should be attainable goals.The ensuing mess all started when I inadvertently ordered the Boathouse’s 20oz specialon Woodchuck. How was I supposed to know it was 20oz? And at $2.50 how do you refuse?The drinks led to a heated competition on the ntnbar game, a goofy trivia game where they put the questions up on the TV and youcompete with other people at the bar. Yep, don’t feel like typing anymore.
