Hobs sent this out, so I felt obliged.

Now Hobs, you said it worked for you, but it so didn’t for me.

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool..

So, I figured I'd put up some content-filled entry for once. Work is good - I'm busy busy busy. It's all pretty exciting, and entertaining (to say the least). It's still weird to be going to work everyday - trying to get used to the idea that the year runs like Jan-Jan (or Oct - Oct, if I want money) instead of Aug-May with summer vacation.

Been busy on the weekends too - took the bro to WAC open house last weekend, ate some amazing stir fry Keighty made. Went to RenFest on Sunday with Walter, Cynthia, Jess, Tom, and CJ, then went to Annapolis with Walter and Cynthia so Keighty could get her tattoo (which is awesome, btw), then the four of us got sushi ... twas a good time. Went to Taste of Baltimore yesterday with Suzanne, Walter, Rob, Justin, Drew, Julie ... ran into Pat, and eventually J-Spaz, Tom, James, Stacey, and Bob. Went to dinner with Katie "Rack Of" Lamb two Wed. ago, had the "We're-Not-In-College-Anymore-But-We'll-Pretend-We-Are" Party a couple of weekends ago (really can't remember) with Justin, Rob, Jake, Nichole, Julie, Emmy, J-Spaz, Tom, James, and Topher ... Karaoke two Thurs. ago with Rob, Julia, Lauren, Justin, and Carla. Carla and I definitely sang some Backstreet Boys. So yeah, busy.

Uh, let's see ... perhaps going to line dancing Tuesday, playing volleyball on Thurs ... concert next Fri. with Hobs, Walk for the Cure with Emmy on the 21st, Halloween party "somewhere in Baltimore" with Hobs and who know who else on the 27th ... Maybe over to C-town this weekend to see Geremy and work in the Customs House.

I'm really not that interesting. I don't know why I bother posting. Oh, I put some pics up on Facebook from various activities this summer ... now that I have some of my Italy pictures off my camera, I'll be takin more!

Walter, Julie, Justin, SCARY LOBSTER/CRAB THING, Drew, Suzanne, and Rob at Taste of Baltimore.

Based on the content of some of these, I don't really believe the premise (that they were written by high school kids), but it's amusing none the less.

Analogies and Metaphors -- 2006

Every year, English teachers from across the country submit their collections of actual analogies and metaphors found in high school essays. These excerpts are published each year to the amusement of teachers across the country. Here are last years winners ...

1) Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.

2) His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.

3) He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

4) She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli, and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.

5) She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.

6) Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

7) He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.

8) The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife’s infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly free ATM machine.

9) The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t.

10) McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.

11) From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you’re on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.

12) Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.

13) The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.

14) Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, and the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

15) They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan’s teeth.

16) John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also ever met.

17) He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant, and she was the East River.

18) Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long it had rusted shut.

19) Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do.

20) The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan might just work.

21) The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.

22) He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.

23) The ballerina rose gracefully en Pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.

24) It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.

25) He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he though he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.

Stolen from Dep:

i will remember - SARAH'S EDITION/UPDATE (my comments in parentheses):

- brown dude dancing like he's the shit, either:

in the corner by himself on a chair
in the corner by himself standing up moving his hands around as if some hot girl is right in front of him
dancing up to random guys and trying to join in on their conversations
dancing up to random girls and trying to get them to dance with him
dancing/bending down to the ground and trying to slick his way in between two girls
still dancing like he's the shit as the white girl makes a face and goes "ugh" and does the "whatever" hand motion in his face
3 hours later still dancing like he's the shit

- the really old 45 year old women dancing in really short shorts with no rhythm

- the (really short) hispanic dude that would not stop asking us to dance, (creeping the hell out of Dep), even when Dep told him:

i am too tired to dance
no
i am not into dancing
no
my boyfriend is on his way to the bar and will be mad
no
my boyfriend really is coming and will want to hurt you
no thanks
no no no

and emily told him NO and that he should go dance with the other girls dancing, including the 45 year old women and that would be easier for him

and jenny told him NO and that she doesn't want to, and that she wants to dance with her girlfriends.

(and him trying to come back later, but stopped since Dep happened to get a phone call (thank God))

- (turning away from Dep, Emmy, and Jenny when said hispanic guy came up to us, talking to Julie instead. I felt bad about it, but Julie ensured me it was "every person for themselves")

- the guy in his white shirt and tie saying "whoa" and sorta hitting on an ANONYMOUS friend and not coming back, but then randomly shows up later in the middle of our circle and is attempting to be michael jackson (He was a pretty good Michael Jackson for being so drunk)

- an anonymous friend getting a business card from ........ some dude..........

- sarah getting blacklight shit all over her (I refuse to wear dark clothes there ever again)

- (triangle of temptation)
