"When I was five my mother gave me an Oreo cookie. I promptly shoved the entire thing into my mouth and, while chewing, asked if I could have another.

My mother said "You should concentrate on enjoying the cookie you're eating instead of thinking about the next one."

That's pretty much the best advice I have ever received in my life."

Listening to... Goo Goo Dolls - Broadway
Feeling... a monster caffeine-withdrawal headache

Oooouch... I wasn't kidding about the headache. Since I'm nearing the end of my stay in Hotlanta (5 months to graduation, just turned in the petition) I've been working on doing all the things I've been meaning to do here. Among this summer's plans:
1. See Oakland park
2. See the state captiol (and being "tourist for a day")
3. Monday night drag show at Nickiemoto's
4. IPST paper museum (it's directly behind my apartment bldg, I'm just lazy)
5. ATL botanical

I'm knocking out number 3 tonight.

While I'm doing lists, I'll post this list of volunteer jobs I'd like to get into (as a reminder to self):
1. Food prep at Zoo Atlanta
2. Project Open Hands
3. Teacher's aide
4. Train Seeing-Eye dogs

Now if only I had some good short-term job prospects for spring...

Old Song Lyrics again-- I'm on a roll....

"Well, maybe I'll call or write you a letter. Now maybe we'll see on the 4th of July. But, I'm not too sure and I'm not too proud. I'm too sure and I'm not too proud to say (ah-oh) it was good,
living with you (wah-oh), it was good."
-Better Than Ezra (the only band to ever give J,LC a run for their money as my favorite performers)

Old song lyrics:
"God help you if you are an ugly girl.
Course, too pretty is also your doom,
Cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room."


"I'd never try to give my life meaning by demeaning you
And I would like to state for the record, I did everything that I could do."


-Alana Davis- 32 flavors

Interesting description of Jump, Little Children:
"He lists band ingredients a little bit of electric lead, cello and accordion and upright bass electric and acoustic mandolin and "a tasty little trap drummer. [hahaha] They're each quirky looking in their own way--the hunk, and the nerd, and the artsy guy and the rockabilly guy, without it looking contrived or anything."
