Friend: i’m gonna go back and make sure your parents never meet
Me: I will go back and make sure they meet and kiss at the school dance then travel forwards in time in a delorian resulting in hilarious consequences

Yesterday morning we dropped my car off at the VW Dealership where I bought it to have some engine problems looked at. Late last night, a woman from the dealership called me to tell me they would need to keep the car another day as they were way behind schedule. After she told me that I said, “Thanks for letting me know. Good bye.”

…and she responded “Love ya” and hung up. I just sort of sat there staring at the receiver for about 20 seconds before I hung it up. Part of me was very confused, part of me was laughing histarically & part of me was wondering if she really did love me.

Now in her defense she sounded really tired when she called. So my guess is she had just gotten off the phone with her boyfriend/husband/whatever, she was thinking about said person, or that maybe I sounded like him, but I really wish I could have seen her face when she hung up the phone and said to herself “What did I just say?”

This is why I love AIM:

Friend: I am joining the 21st century
Friend: I’m getting a DVR
Me: I will stick with my 17th century monk
Friend: he transcribes shows you missed?
Friend: “Verily, Rachel didst bonk Ross”
Me: it is tough getting him to copy code for me
Friend: i bet it is
Me: whilst one doesnt increment to the century mark by years of two
Me: ugh……stupid monk…
Friend: isn’t it hard to express a sine curve in Roman Numerals anyway?
Me: “shouldst the question of the truth be applied to the question of veracity of thine question, doeth the application of the first.
Friend: man, i wish there was a programming language that rendered the syntax like that
Friend: i would use it ALL the time
Me: Look at this crap:
Me: “here within the ennumeration of “x” shall forthwith be the dozen”
Me: I don’t know why I keep these guys around….

For about the last year now, I have gone back & forth about starting up a blog - not so much to be trendy or to rant about the “idiocy & stupidity” like some of my friends, but pretty much just because I could….
