If there’s room, and no oncoming car, I always swerve around the speed bumps in parking lots. DON’T TELL ANYONE. ---

Yesterday I had sex with an underage bonobo in an airplane restroom and our passionate lovemaking destroyed the lights, short circuiting the electrical system in the plane forcing us into an emergency landing by gliding into a farmer’s field during a snowstorm. ---

To start things off, I opened a carton of orange juice from the wrong side this morning. Then I left work an hour early (without telling my supervisor) and I am taking tomorrow off. I ate a cashew in the bulk food section of a grocery store and I did not pay for it. And when I paid for my purchases at the grocery store, I paid the 18 cents of a $17.18 tab with pennies. The checker looked annoyed because she had to count all the pennies. Then an old lady in line behind me scowled at me and I scowled back. Then I told both of them to have a wonderful Thanksgiving and they both smiled at me. Ruined a grumpy moment for both of them. ---

You know that guy on TV that tells you “Don’t touch that dial!” When he’s not looking, I run up and touch it and sit down again before he turns back around! Heeeeeeeee! ---

I didn’t read the WHOLE chapter for AP European History. I took a nap this afternoon instead of doing something productive. I didn’t put my dishes up at the sink after eating a snack. I went back to sleep after the alarm clock went off. I NEVER make my bed. Whoo hooo! I’m a WILD one! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Miss Magic8ball \* > \*\*ANDI didn’t wash my tongue when I brused my teeth. \*\* Now that’s just talking this ‘walk on the wild side’ thing a little too far. Today I took an hour and a half for lunch today. I arrived five minutes late for a workshop that I was leading. I read the Sluggy Freelance message boards for a good hour when I was supposed to be working. I’m baaaaad and it feels so good. ---

I regularly split infinitives and end sentences with prepositions, even though I’m not supposed to. 🙂 ---

I ate a Pop-Tart for breakfast and I didn’t take a shower. When the person in the next car looked at me on my way to work, I smiled with one side of my mouth, kind of like Sylvester Stallone. I looked cool, but I think I kind of scared them because they drove off the road and ended up a flaming wreck by the shoulder, their charred and twisted remains sending a black cloud up to the heavens, scathing the very face of God’s creation. Also, I didn’t brush my teeth, and my left shoelace was untied half the day. I’m a baaad boy. ---

The dishwasher has been clean since yesterday and I haven’t put them away yet. I just talk a clean dish out ans leave it dirty in the sink. Actually, it’s the dishes IN the diswasher that are clean. The dishwasher itself could use a wiping off. I’m not going to do that either. -Rue. (crazy, but not as crazy as **SCSimmons**. Woo!) ---

And when I “Preview”, I just look for coding mistakes. Proofreading is for other people. (…take a clean dish out and leave it dirty in the sink.)
