Man, it's been forever and a day. I haven't read anyone's blogs, haven't updated my blogs, nothing. I suck. Oh well, it's the price you pay for loving me, which includes sporadic updates and slow-moving madness. Lets see, moving on.... As much as I hate myspace, it did one good thing for me a few weeks ago - I had a profile on there that I rarely ever checked, and just saw that someone from back home emailed me. I say back home because even though its only an 1 1/2 hours away, more than just time and distance separate my hometown of Midland from northern Va. For those of you who had the (dis)pleasure to meet some of the people I know from back home (Halona's not a good example, cause she hid her evil and weirdness behind silence), you'd notice that a) they appear crazier than most people you know, b) they are slightly dangerous, like a wild animal somebody got the bright idea to try to make a housepet, and c) I'm still the baddest, craziest mofo around. The difference was that being away from them made my crazy go slightly dormant. Anyway, so I got emailed by *the mexican*'s girlfriend, letting me know they had an apartment in reston... so for the past two weekends I've been over at their apartment, partying and hanging out with some of the gang from back home. We even went to the zoo last wednesday, where I made rude comments about the howler monkey's nutsack, the mexican threw a trash can at me, *D* pulled a bamboo branch back and hit *drawls* in the head like we were in a cartoon, and oh yeah - I walked into a metal sign near the tiger den and hit it so hard my head started bleeding. Afterwards, some random person threw up on the crowded metro during rush hour, and almost hit D. It was repulsively funny. The only bad thing about going awol the past two weekends is that their apt. is in some sort of crappy radioactive-power line-sunspot disturbance area, so I don't have any signal. None. I won't get messages for hours after someone called, and that's only if I happen to have the phone in a random location in the apartment that can get 1 bar. Hmmm, what else? Went to the beach a while ago, had a decent time. I'm going again in July, if anyone is interested there are still spots available. :) The jeep is good, I try to drive around with the top down as much as possible. There's a cool site called www.paintedcoins.com that sells....well, painted coins - I bought one at a fair a while ago, and I like it. They've got hand-painted coins from around the world, check it out. That's it for now - I will try to write back later and tell you about the women I'm dating - it may or may not be interesting - and other sordid events in my life. Later tater, Critical
