I prefer the misnomer "The People's Republic of Fun"
I like that quote.

Florida blows. I get sunburned at my job. On the back of my neck. You make the connection.

Bill, I received a msg. that was directed your way from a certain shadowy figure who was quite disgruntled over a past transgression. While this person is not to be named, for some reason they included me in their statement:
"sylvia plath and kent suggest sticking your head in an oven. i'm not about to disagree with such authority."
Note that I do not recommend sticking your head in an oven but Sylvia Plath is quite the fan of it and the shadowy figure thought you might enjoy it as well!

How can you not vote for this one?
In the end, Harry Potter visited Honeydukes Sweetshop one too many times, became morbidly obese and could only be recognized by his scar.

I voted for this one. "A middle-aged, balding man would sit alone, drinking, and show anyone who bought him a drink a lightning-bolt shaped scar."
For the teens I voted for yours Marie, aren't I nice?
For the kids I voted for "And with his hat, Harry covered his scar."

Meh, I thought the three "teen" entries mentioned here were roughly equally funny, so I voted for Marie's... board loyalty and all that.

*shrug* London's expensive, and pubs aren't high on my list of places at which to potentially spend money.

nope. but i can still do stuff for my normal drury job (although i'm pretty sure i will never be inspired enough to do any of that). mostly what i've been/will be working on is selecting images for a textbook one of our professors is writing. i also design flyers. i think that's about all of my job responsibilities that are portable...

hey, v for vendetta is essential pre-london literature. i'll know what to do if a nuclear holocaust leads to a fascist state.
anyhow,
go to class?
wander about?
travel a lot?
what, is that not good enough? : )
