-Gotten my ball back. Never will :(

I still:

- Procrastinate.

- Go to support groups with little old ladies (don't ask).
- Drink a coke or two every now and then.

I now:

-T.A. an American Government class.
-Have to deal with stupid insurance people.
-Owe lots of money in student loans.

-Am probably boring you if you're still reading this.
-Am clearly procrastinating.
-Have 10 vials of my sperm frozen somewhere in Houston (you know, the ball thing, just in case). And yes, that might be a little personal, but after all, it's my blog you're reading. Besides, it's kind of weird to think about it. I mean, think about it...somewhere, there are many, many little "yous" frozen in 10 tiny containers. Wouldn't it make you wonder how they're doing every now and then?
-Seem to have some influence in the PoliSci department at my school?
-Should be in bed.

If you can't figure out what to give me because you love me so much, consider the following two options:

1) Apple Store Gift Certificate.
2) REI Gift Certificate.

I may:

-Think of more things to say, but for now, this might be all.


Chao!
