spring break is always open. Be nice to see people actually visit me here for a change...

naughty, what did you do?

nada surf hahahahahah

who didn't make the list?

besides Tesla?

that cracks me up that you stayed up to write a paper and I stayed up to grade papers, both fueled on Margaritas.

my next logarithm shirt will be of the green series.

we should try the Hilton again, just a little earlier so we can go to the bar on the 15th floor. but on a clear night so we can see the stars.

photojournalism huh?
I went to film school for cinematography.. although that's not remotely the same it's still kinda' similar.

You and Jakbstrd will have to show me the cool spots again, all the places I used to hang out at have all either died or changed to something less cool.

*le sigh*

The bus system in this city is piss poor to be sure. When I first moved here my Aunt suggested I take the bus into work so I looked up the schedule and found that I'd have an hour and 45 minute bus ride that took 10 minutes by car. WTF is THAT shit? So I made a deal with her to buy gas if she'd drive me. Then I bought a car as soon as I had money.

They're always having pizza lunches in the Engineering building, you should have asked for a slice and gotten directions while you were there.

I've played Cranium more recently than TP. In fact I'm not sure I've played TP in a while. The last time I remember we got bored of moving around so we just sat around asking questions and drinking if we got it wrong. I think drinking if we got it right would have been better, but that's the way it went.

I think they allocate at least one seat in every class to a backwoodsman. You're lucky it was Tesla coming out of his speakers and not Jerry Prevo, channel 13 late Saturday night Evangelical Baptist minister and millionaire. An Anchorage Institution.

If I worked the hours that you do, I'm sure I'd spend all of my days off sipping tea and reading!

Mental Floss? I'd be willing to try that out. I better get my books out and start studying.

Damn girl - that's one long entry...

Nothing wrong with a book and a cup of tea on a day off - I try to do that even when I work..

I think that most of America's problem is that everything has gotten so big that we forget about how individual we all are in spite of it all. If we'd just remember that each person has their own self that is different and important, things may not seem so pointless.

So - drink your tea and read your book on your day off and enjoy Alaska's scenery!

My guilty pleasure is holing up in my apartment and just reading reading reading. I don't answer the phone, I just read. I feel bad sometimes for shutting everyone out, but it's such a pleasure to read, a good book anyway. If it's a shitty book I usually get bored and find something better.

Why do people have to be such assholes? Is it so easy to forget that you're dealing with a human being? I give attitude when I receive it, but not before and I don't understand why some people are so shitty to store employees.

I used to worry about the whole coporate monster thing and I'm still working for one. They exist at pretty much any occupation you can think of. In some way you're always going to have to deal with one. That's not a cheery thought, but it's life I suppose.

You're not alone. We're all in this together.

And I'm with you on the alien invasion.

Now for something completely different:

I'm not good at the Trivia Sports section either, my answer is usually Ty Cobb or Muhammad Ali. I'm chock full of useless knowledge past and present. At Humpy's (I hate saying it too) is the trivia the national kind on the TV? I used to play when I was in college a lot. I'd win free drinks all the time which was weird that I was able to remember anything let alone random stuff.

I guess the next step in the challenge process is to set a time and place for the TP master competition.

Hey! I'm sorry I didn't respond to your comment until now...I've been in Australia for the past month and didn't take the time to check this site while I was there. Plus I think it would be kind of awkward to peruse this site in a public internet cafe. Anyway.

A couple dozen things:
1. don't let Alaska hold you back, be the person you are and fuck what anyone else thinks.
2. We are kind of a lame community up here because we're all drunks and/or shut-ins. Sorry.
3. I was a lazy college student at one time, but my students take the cake. I doubt you're one of mine as I only have one female student. Yep, I teach enginerds.
4. I totally kick ass in Trivial Pursuit (at least I did in the original version, I may have problems in the newer ones...). So take that as a challenge. Though if I had to play teams I'd probably end up pissed because at first no one believes me and then they expect me to know EVERYTHING and so I generally end up drunk and yelling "See I told you!' and look like an ass. Which I probably am. Shit, now you know.

oh my gosh... I got a scandalous story to tell you. Ray actually said last night, "How long will it be til Holly hears about this?"

hahahahhahaaaa

dude... I updated and then so did everyone else. I got bumped like crazy, and nobody will comment me now.

check out southernbelle's tattoo:

looks like Goob's flaming olive!!!

first off miss evilflapjack,

i wouldn't worry about fitting in. the real reason most alaskans are here is because they don't fit in anywhere else.
i also wouldn't worry about falling in love. falling's easy. it's getting back up, and washing the footprints off the back that's difficult. trust me.

I may have to take a nap when I get home.. I wanted to sleep as long as I could so I could be wide awake for Gooble, but it wasn't happening... I will be albe to sleep in on Thursday morning though. I wish you could be here for it ... And I will pass your affection on to our hostess.

Wait - shouldn't you be sleeping now too?

That porn thing gets me every time. As well as the nose picking and the journal stalking. I'm so glad I'm such a busy person.

The good news about being up this early is that I can get my porn fix and not run late when I'm getting ready for work. Which reminds me - I have errands to run after work today - so I should really find a change of clothes too.
