I answered about 12 of them, and it was never the black guy.

So, my pal from work calls me about four hours ago, the conversation goes like this:
ME: What?
HIM: Don't know if you know this or not, but there's been a second case of swine flu recorded in Minnesota.
ME: Um, yeah. So?
HIM: Well, that person is Angie's friend that came to happy hour with us last Friday.
ME: Choice.
Whoulda thunk it. Of all the 30M plus people in MN, i have to run into the second person with piggy flu. Oh well. Too drunk to care, and besides, my immune system is almost as staggering in its efficacy as is my sexual prowess is in its incompetency.
Fuck you, swine flu.
Well, bac0n, I certainly hope you don't get swine flu.
And I was very, very baffled for a moment at your comment about "30M plus people" in Minnesota, which would have really surprised me, so I had to check it against Wikipedia. Then I caught that part about you being drunk and I was like "whatever."
My take on the H1N1: In its current form, its not something to freak out about. In fact, it might be the time to contract the bug so your body develops antibodies for it, so in case it comes back with a vengeance in the fall, your body may have a better defense for it, if in fact it acts like 1918 Spanish Flu outbreak.
Was she symptomatic last Friday? If not, you should be fine.
Saturday night plan: getting together with friends to drink sake and play Settlers of Catan.
If only I didn't have the slowest friends in the world.
I swear this guy coming to pick me up is one of the most over-priveleged people I have ever met. 22 and has never had a job. Both parents are dentists (millionnaires) and give him $200 a week spending money and he does nothing to earn it.
Nice guy, good friend, but he won't rush to do anything unless it's for him. He lives 4 minutes away via car, and it's been 75 minutes since he said he was coming to pick me up.
This happens quite regularly, too. If we ever plan to go to a movie, I always tell him we should go to a showing that's an hour earlier than the one I actually plan to catch, because he's so damn slow.
So apparently Boston put out a warrant for my arrest because I didn't pay a tax excise bill which I payed twice already and they for some reason just didn't update their systems. So if I had been pulled over I would have gone to jail. Lame.
Uh-oh!
Swine flu has turned into zombie-ism in London!
We're all fucked now!
:lol:
Talked to my mom on the phone for a long time today. In the middle of the conversation, she started referring to my younger sister's "girlfriend," which surprised me, since I didn't think my sister was a lesbian. And if she were a lesbian, I'm sure my mother, the dear old homophobe, wouldn't have introduced this development so nonchalantly. I was properly befuddled for a minute.
I forget, sometimes, that my mother thinks female friends of females should be called their "girlfriends."
She says it with the exact same inflection that one would use to describe a girlfriend girlfriend though.
My mom does the same thing. It's very awkward, and I frequently call her out on it by saying "I didn't realize Kelsey had come out already!"
When I was a kid my grandma used to say my "boyfriends could come over with me to swim in their pool".
Needless to say, I never did bring any friends over.
