I could, too, but I would have to start around 2 or 3.

Yeah, I can finish it anywhere. There's really nothing great about Denton, I just want the $#@! out of Philly, can't deal with all these hipsters ya know

Denton is a college town, and your still young enough to date college girls (hey, so am I, but it would be a scandal) and given the size of the universities and the size of the town (100k) you probably can have a pretty good time there. Texas college girls can be scorching hot. Some, of course, won't put out as they're saving themselves for Jesus or something, but I'm sure most are pretty freaky.

What might get to you is the flatness of the landscape. It's not Kansas, quite, but still.

when did you start teaching?

I have been subbing since January but been in my LTS job for 4 weeks.

well there you go. you'll never be sicker than your first year of teaching. didn't they teach you that in your big fancy state school?

It applies to college teaching as well. Fucking college kids don't know thing one about staying healthy.

I lost my virginity in Bloomington, Indiana. True story.

Thanks to that carmelita video, I'm putting some Warren Zevon on my workout mix. Though not carmelita.

good for you. i have yet to follow through on my threats from the WS last year.

Well, I also told my doctor (who is into fitness and diet, but he works out pretty hard himself (and so does his wife, who looks pretty good) so he's not a hypocrite) I was doing it. And then he said, well, that's great, you've set yourself a goal. But then you've got to keep increasing it. Bastard.

I just called my Mom to say Happy Mother's Day. I am dam retarted.

"I could totally drink 30 beers."

"There's no fucking way you can drink that much."

"No, man, I totally think I could."

"Bet you that you can't."

"You're on."

nothing wrong with a little competitive drinking

I guess this is one of those things like burning man or nipple piercing or scrapbooking that just sound like putting yourself in an unpleasant and possibly dangerous situation that I just will never understand.

Over how long a period of time? Depending on body mass, there's a risk of alcohol poisoning if less than like 15 or 16 hours... although he'd likely puke to expel the alcohol before the point of dying from alcohol poisoning.

Every alcohol poisoning incident I ever heard of involved liquor. You just can't drink that much beer fast enough.

I know a fella... no worries though, he did eventually awaken from the coma.

Looks like we are about to get slammed with a couple of thunderstorms.

so this weekend marks the (likely) beginning of me figuring my life out. i'm going to do a senior thesis next year, so i will likely have no life. and i'll start looking at the GRE and LSAT this summer, too.

the goal, it seems, is to graduate with a honors degree with distinction. that requires a 3.4 GPA at the time of graduation. i have a 3.35 currently.

GOD DAMNIT I DON'T LIKE GROWING UP

i may or may not blow up this thread tonight

I will not let this shitty shift work shit ruin my life. Last night I stayed out til 1:30, dragged myself out of bed at 5:30, got to work on time and went to a cousin's Communion party immediately after work. I've also driven roughly 200 miles over the last three days and had one of the most fun nights of the past couple years last night. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE

Oh right that was the trip when you lost your drivers license last year wasn't it

I could definitely drink 30 beers. I was probably about 10 beers short the day before opening day and I didn't come close to puking. That was over about a 10 hour period, at least 2 of those hours were spent in the ballpark and about an hour to 90 minutes was spent traveling around the city.

I'm good for five or six

Two points.

1) It's definitely possible, though I couldn't do it right now. My tolerance is way down from college. I imagine I did it by accident at some point during college, and I would have been successful the one night I tried and kept track if my bastard cousin didn't convince my blacked out self to stop as a joke.

2) I think it's fair to say the last ten are the hardest.

i'm in the 'its doable' camp. alhtough i dont know how much i'd want to do it
