I wanted to take a photo of a football player that fumbles a lot and add the text “Fumblr” (like ‘Tumblr”), but I couldn’t think of anyone, so here’s the text along with a random college QB. Disregard this post.
Thanks, whoever stopped by my desk and turned on my monitor and left his/her almost-empty cup here. At least you didn’t rob my headphones.
After I drove into a Jersey barrier, Jen said it was lucky that I didn’t hit anyone and that we were okay. I thought this was silly. “Lucky” would have involved me hitting the barrier, getting out of the car, and finding a new grey Mercury Sable bumper next to my car. But there was no bumper, so I think it was just circumstance.
Last year, I made a list of 30 things I hate. I have two more things to add to that list: people who wear dark clothes and walk on the sides of roads at night and websites that log you out automatically. Re: people on the roads, it’s especially bad when they walk as close to the lane as possible, just tempting you to end them. Re: websites, who even uses public computers anymore? What a nuisance.
JUST THOUGHT OF A THIRD THING: people who push their ways to the fronts of chairlift lines. I don’t understand how these lines work. It seems like the more of a jerk you are, the more people you can pass on your way to the lift.
Also, I need to make a list of things that most people hate for which I don’t understand the reasons of the hatred. (That was a really tough sentence to write.) This list would include Good Charlotte, Brandon Flowers, and Drive-Thru Records. It might be interesting to note that they’re all related to punk/pop rock. Googling “why does everyone hate x” yields nothing helpful.
There might also a list of things I think people should hate but no one hates them, like most TV shows and celebrities.

I was going to say that the worst thing about Jen is trying to wake her up with my phone, but that’s inaccurate. Trying to wake her up remotely with my phone is the worst thing. I’ve never tried to wake her up with my phone when I was near her. I’ve also never tried her phone, books, a club, etc.
