A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

Last night R and I went over to the house of a friend. We'd been there two weeks ago, when the friend had kegs for a fundraiser; he's still got the kegs and wanted friends to come over and finish off the beer. Now, there was no chance that eight people would finish two half-kegs, but we tried our best, playing yet another game of flip cup before piling 10 people into one of those larger cabs and heading off to the city to a bar. The special of the night was free vodka from 10-11, so we took... Sign in to see full entry.

In the past few months, ever since rejoining blogit, I've become addicted to using the little emoticons. I don't use them so much in my own posts, but I will use them when I'm commenting.

I've talked about Henry before, but for those of you who don't know, Henry is the springer spaniel I grew up with. He's always been this wonderful, sweet-tempered dog--the perfect pet, in fact.

"Pubic Smoking Ban Up For Debate" (also up for debate: the art of giving away Too Much Information) "I can't help you right now. I'm very busty." (e-mail sent to by a woman with large breasts to her whole office). "Suspect arrested for pointing gut at cop." (I didn't know it was a felony!) Unfortunate choice of words: "How To Put Pickles Up Yourself." (oooh. Uncomfortable.) "Six puppies for sale. Will... Sign in to see full entry.

Ever since I started blogging on facebook, I've had to be careful of what I write. What I write there is filled with sarcasm and tongue in cheek humor. I also use humor here, but I tone it down to suit my audience. This morning I realized that I had more than 300 friends listed on that site. I'm not "friends" with the vast majority of them. In fact, I've never even talked to most of them at all! Some of them are people I met at a party somewhere in college and added as friends as an... Sign in to see full entry.
