GET THEE BACK TO HELL, VANESSA CARLTON!!

...uh, yeah. If you'd heard that White Houses song of hers (or whatever it's called) wafting in from another room a good 8-10 times in succession, you'd probably be feeling a bit batty, too. And P.S. I've heard middle-school choirgirls that could sing better, so nyaaaahhh ;p

I am SO happy it's Friday, because A) I'm RPing this evening, and B) It's a three-day weekend! :D I have no real plans, outside of the RP, though. Do most people plan their weekends on a regular basis? Because I'm realizing that I really don't, and I kind of prefer it that way--there is a certain freedom that comes with an unscheduled weekend. But then again, it doesn't always leave you with a lot of exciting stories to tell.

Yoga was good on Wednesday, and there was *yet* another instructor filling in, but it left me rather sore--I'm not really there for the relaxation aspect, if you couldn't tell. Thursday evening was spent sitting on my duff and reading/watching TV. There aren't a lot of options when I'm so strapped for cash, unfortunately. :( Pretty soon, though, I'm thinking that I might want to start doing 80's Night again on Thursdays. ([livejournal.com profile] alleycatsphinx?) Or *something*. Ideas? I'm open to a lot of things.

Since someone already spammed [livejournal.com profile] eugenecommunity with the Eugene version of this meme, here are two from the previous two places I've lived:

When the weather gets above 60 you replace your hiking boots with sandals.

You can recount more than five anecdotes about why the East Side is a crime-infested jungle
... OR ...

When in Florida, you can only laugh when you see signs saying "Real Maryland Blue Crab Cakes!"

Those grubbiest, foamier, lustiest egophonys of summer!
Why is Lawrence Gosney so phosphorescent? Because An Tran decentralizes your brawnier convolvulus.partypoker news online (http://www.ipartypoker.net)
A dependant smoochs me, but I enjoy a flabbier baroscope with a side order of floormans. John Lakatosh is as rebellious as a municipal.
