Some things you should know about me

There are some things you should know about me before you get to know me any better:
  • My teeth are typically clenched from 9am-7pm
  • I always have a wise ass comment on the tip of my tongue. Always, no matter how inappropriate the circumstances.
  • If there is food, I will eat it. Because of this, I hesitate to stock the pantry.
  • I have trouble going to sleep at night. I have even more trouble getting up. I don't really have insomnia-because I could sleep forever if I had a chance to sleep past 8 ever. So I don't think I'm an insomniac. Maybe I just have no will power.
  • I don't like evidence. Not because it's not useful. I just find it lawyerlike to base rules on the stupidity of the average person. Necessary, but it just makes me feel bad.
  • I would choose a barbeque with friends over a 4 star meal every day of the week.
  • I say I like to travel, but I'm really a homebody. I like to travel if I can make the place I'm going feel like home. Which happens sometimes. Switzerland. Some of Germany. NY.

Less to do

Do you remember when stressful was whether or not Georgia was going to win on Saturday? Do you remember when dressing up was khakis with an untucked collared shirt? Do you remember when a long day was studying until 9, or maybe working at Kroger until 9? Do you remember drinking a 6 pack on a Wednesday, just because you could? Do you remember watching a movie during the week? Do you remember having whole weekends with almost nothing to do? Remember when drinks started after the 2pm class? Remember things moving more slowly? Remember field parties? Remember AIMing until 2am? Remember never going to bed before midnight? Remember never waking up before 10? Remember drinking maybe three cups of coffee a week? Remember when the concept of drinking Diet Coke was foreign? Remember when the day used to end at 2, how about when it ended at 5, how about when it got fun at 9?

Yeah, neither do I. The life of the future lawyer.
