Random Thoughts:
So, I've been sleeping in a friend's house in Maryland for the past two months with (in a separate room!) her brother, her brother's wife, and husband without the opportunity to go home to Philly to take care of the basic essentials. By this time the following things have happened:
1. The dirty, sweaty work-out clothing that i keep in plastic bags in my bathroom have probably developed a mold that has gained a sort of consciousness. It will soon take over Philadelphia in classic "blob" (nothing hurts the blob!) style. I have a feeling i will be held accountable.
2. A buddy of mine who i've known for a while (i've been to his wedding, been drunk with him on many occasions, run the MCM and Philly Marathon with him before) put me on his list for Top Secret clearance interviewee (somehow they trust me with this stuff!). At the end of the questionnaire (which i've been through many times, so i've had the opportunity to prepare this answer), the federal agent asks me "has mr. XXX ever expressed a desire to overthrow the American Government through violence or force?" I thought about it for a second and replied, "you know what, he's probably the ONLY friend of mine who's never expressed such sentiments!"
Obviously, that wasn't a good interview. Sorry, buddy!
3. I have vague recollections of "things" happening in the back of my rental car one bender night in Adam's Morgan. I really should install a recording device of some sort so i don't have to rely entirely on context clues (like a smelly hand!).
4. New job prospects on the horizon include:
Department of Homeland Security Systems Operator-- Gwhahahahahahahha! Perfect. At least, that's what all my IRC and work buddies tell me.
Technical Writer: ummm, i don't suck at it, but then again, i'm not very good either.
Ninja Assasin: as if there was any doubt.
5. I've lost my cell phone in the Potomac. I got a new one cause my boss got sick of only getting in contact with me during work hours. Fortunately, i've managed to keep this new number a secret. People must acquire this new number at the cost of their SOUL! (which i will subsequently keep in a shoebox in my closet)
Until next time, kiddies!

--P.S. Some people who I've cut off in the past (family members, former friends, girl-friends, etc) have been contacting me recently in an odd, highly-unlikely sequence of events involving diners, bars, clubs, and email. It's really weird, cause i tend to think that people who i haven't seen in years cease to exist.
So much for that philosophy.
