The girl has passed the bar yet thinks that putting 5 year old Saved By The Bell lotion on her body is a good idea. I&#8217;m surprised her hands didn&#8217;t fall off. kate, I only write about you here because I care.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\none of the cool thing about having a roommate that dates younguns is that her friends give me compliments like &#8220;your crib is bad&#8221; and they really mean it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>March 03, 2000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Alli B wrote today: &#8220;If I was cool like you I would have a TV that I could say &#8220;hey bitch, tape the powerpuff girls&#8221; and it would. but I&#8217;m not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>April 14, 2000<\/strong><br \/>\nerik with a k just came into my office and asked, &#8220;Mr. Woods, do you want to hear a joke I made when I was 4?&#8221;. Not really wanting to because I had just given him the batteries from my i-zone to power his game boy, I went ahead and said I would listen. (See what a good teacher I am). His joke is: What do you get when you cross a dog with a pirate? Answer: Grrrrr, matie.<br \/>\nThen he told me that maybe he was 5 when he made it up.<br \/>\nLiar.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And the last one for today is going to involve reader intervention.<br \/>\nOn June 11, 2000, I wrote the following entry:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nSo, I am thinking about moving out of my house.<\/p>\n<p>I like it a lot here. It is probably one of the coolest places I have ever lived or will live.<\/p>\n<p>But, it is expensive for me. When Wendy moves out, my rent will more than double. There is no one that I really want to live with that is looking. And I figure that with Kate leaving, I don&#8217;t really have much reason to stay here. This house is WAY to big for me to live in by myself.<br \/>\nI have a number of living options:<\/p>\n<p>1 &#8211; Move out to North Avenue into my grandparents house with my Uncle Buddy.<br \/>\nPROS : Free Rent. Land for an earthship.<br \/>\nCONS : Kind of far out. It&#8217;s living with a family member.<\/p>\n<p>2 &#8211; Somewhere with Mirja and Tara in the house where Yer lives.<br \/>\nPROS : Living with people who are seemingly grownup. Cool house on the Boulevard.<br \/>\nCONS: Tara hates TV and computers. I don&#8217;t really know Mirja.<\/p>\n<p>3 &#8211; In Jocelyn&#8217;s house on Milledge with her and two girls to be determined later.<br \/>\nPROS : Awesome house on Milledge. It would be amusing to live with three sorority girls.<br \/>\nCONS: Sorority girls don&#8217;t really have naked pillow fights and they date fraternity boys.<\/p>\n<p>4 &#8211; Stay here.<br \/>\nPROS : Easy<br \/>\nCONS: Expensive\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>How would Chip&#8217;s life be different had he chosen Options 1, 2, or 4 instead of Option 3?<\/p>\n<p>Would it be better or worse?<\/p>\n<p>Use as many blue books as needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I occasionally scan my blog archives to see if there is anything important in my past I may have forgotten or, more likely, something amusing I can use to make fun of my friends about now.
