a friend of mine recently wrote that he wants dave barry's job, and while i think that would be fun, i'd much rather be his kid. can you imagine how much fun that would be? it'd be impossible to get into trouble, and even when you did - you'd just end up laughing about it. and btw, dave barry thinks food in england sucks too, so it must be true.

this friend and i also share a common love for beer and batman, but i recently learned that there were st. patty's day pics that i didn't get to see, and now i don't know if we're still friends. so what should i do with all of my spare batman beyond dvds? i guess i'll just throw them out and the homeless can use them as coasters.

so, it's 6:54 on sunday and i have a paper due on wednesday. i was stressed about it when i thought it had to be 15 pages, but it really only has to be 8-9, so no big deal. heck, i could write most of it at work. i've discovered an upside to getting a new boss - all projects are on hold until they're reapproved. try to hold your jealousy in, i'll be paying for this period of tranquility soon enough.

so here i am, doing everything but my paper. i blame this on my new year's resolution - "to have more fun." but gabby, you always seemed like you were having a blast. not so, my friend. there was a period of time when i was taking everything way too seriously, and it wasn't cool. so i made a promise on my birthday to just have more fun. and it's working splendidly! of course, it would help if my immune system would play along, but all things considered, i am a much more whimsical and happy go lucky person. but this is to the detriment of my school work. it's just not featuring the "oomph" that it used to. and i'm not caring like i used to. as a schoolmate said to me, 2 years from now, all anyone is going to care about is that you graduated, not what your gpa was. true dat, homes. although, i was thinking it'd be pretty awesome to bump my 3.62 up to a 3.75 and graduate magna cum laude, until i just learned that ub only does that for undergrads. well, there goes that motivation. who wants to play "you don't know jack?"
