I've had people ask for details about my trip to the Canary Islands. I'm thinking about how to do a write-up. I could post little bits here and there in .:Randomness:. or I could start a new thread. I would normally go the Random route. But while I was gone I was e-mailing a photo diary home on a daily basis, and if I started a new thread, I could post those e-mails and pictures and give a more coherent, chronological accounting of the adventure. I'm thinking that is the way to go.

Any opinions?

Okay. The emails I sent to my family each day included an accounting of the days events or some things I had noticed, along with up to 4 pictures per e-mail that I had taken with the VGA camera on my cell phone. For doing a thread here, I will include all that, and intersperse some of the pictures I took with the 2 and 4 megapixel cameras.

Giive me a couple of days to get it all organized, and to get the photos uploaded to PhotoBucket. Plus I need a little time to self-edit ... I took hundreds of pictures, and obviously I need to choose a small selection of representative photos. Then I'll create the thread in General and post it all.

*is worried* I got sent home from my job today since it was so slow. It gives me more time to study but I need the money. I was thinking about getting a small loan from the bank but I'd rather not. I hate worrying about money. And I like this job so I really don't want to get a new one.

Thanks. I'm depressed now but I sort of blame that on my hormones. I'm tempted to ask my fiance's parents for some money (about 500 dollars or so). They have a decent amount of money and they like me enough. Thanks for the support. I wuv you!

-Chuck Norris is the only man to ever defeat a brick wall in a game of tennis.



-Chuck Norris has two speeds: walk and kill.



-Chuck Norris has always been able to find Waldo, except for one time. He found himself stumped on the last page of Where's Waldo Now?, not being able to find the Waldo without a shoe. He threw the book down and screamed, "This is BULLSHIT!" They're all wearing shoes." He then proceeded to eat the book and exclaim, "IF I CAN'T FIND WALDO, THEN NO ONE CAN!" The book he ate belonged to a child that he had borrowed it from. The child began to cry and Chuck Norris ate him for good measure. The incident has since been refered to as Arbor Day.



-Chuck Norris is not lactose intolerant; he just refuses to put up with lactose's shit.

Chuck Norris is a quasi famous action star. He's like the poor mans Jean Claude Van Dam. And Mr. Van Dam isn't that great to begin with.

What annoys me the most is his psuedo beard. That shit does not look real. Here's a picture of Mr. Norris:

Here's a bit of randomness.

I just got a call from my friend who was in hysterics because her sister, another good friend of mine, was about to walk into oncoming traffic on the freeway.

She got drunk, started talking to a guy that she has a bad history with on the phone. She decided she needs to go to the gym to blow of steam, but my friend tells her she will drive.

They get all the way to 24 Hour Fitness, then the sister turns on her best friend, starts calling her a whole bunch of things, gets out of the car makes a break for the freeway.

She starts walking up the off ramp, causing cars to swerve out of her way. The best friend runs after her and says she will do anything if she would just get in the car. The sister walks back down the off-ramp, past the car and takes off running down the street.

My friend calls me at this point. I race down in my car, find her at an Arco station on a pay phone trying to contact wonder boi. I walk up to her and put my arm around her and tell her to get in my car. She flips me off and she continues her call. Her best friend gets out of the car, and sister starts to get crazy. I hold best friend, put my hand over her mouth because she babbling and tell sister to get in my car and she can stay at my house away from best friend.

Sister says no. I tell her if I make best friend stay at my house, will she go home with my friend? She says no and I tell her she either picks a car or I'm calling the police. She tells me to call them and have them take her to jail. My friend begs me not to.

Sister finally walks up to my friends car and opens the door to talk to her. She then lunges into the car and starts punching my friend. I'm still holding Best Friend back. Sister stops and get into the car. My friend starts driving.

We are driving back to her house and she keeps pulling over a bit because Sister keeps trying to jump out of the car. I can see her punching my friend while she's driving.

We get to her apartment and before we park, my friend jumps out of the car with the keys and walks away. Her nose and mouth are bleeding. Sister starts screaming to give her the keys. My friend says no. Sister attacks her again. My friend runs. They run back, and sister falls. My friend attacks her.

Then, sister walks away to her house, my friend parks her sisters car, and I am now sitting here with both my friend and the best friend.

Sister is still drunk but we have her car keys.

All at the lovely hour of 3 in the morning.

Yay alchohal.

Wow. I would wait until she's sober and kick her ass so that she remembers it. You are a way more patient person than I am...

Uh-Oh!!! I went out to get a sandwich and tea for lunch. Then I decided to drop by the bookstore...bad idea. I just dropped almost $90. I got some great books, and even some of thos mix CDs with Marilyn Monroe and Ella Fitzgerald.

They didn't give me Mayo with my sandwich. I'm butthurt about that.
