What Are You So Scared Of?

This is interesting. It's rare that you actually find some good points when you're going through random blogs.

Yesterday I got bored and went around Tomah and finally re-activated my debit card. You know how on those Visa commercials they promise that if your card is lost or stolen, they'll catch it? They really do.

Not that mine actually -was- stolen. It's just that I'm an idiot. See, I brought my debit card (and absolutely -no- cash) with me when I visited Illinois last weekend, figuring I could use that. Except that the only place that I could actually use it was an ATM machine, which needed a PIN. Which I'd forgotten. Naturally.

So when my debit card turns up 250 miles away, and someone's guessing at the password...some flags went up and the card was locked. It's cool to know that there is a feature like that, except that it meant going the entire weekend without any money.

Today I am going to purchase my Lifest tickets! It's six months away and that is too long. I sort of want to volunteer again, except that I also want to not miss any shows this year. So I think I'm going to just sort of show up when there aren't any bands I want to see and ask if anybody needs a merch-booth-runner. I know last year they always welcomed help so I'm hoping that'll happen again.

Oh, and going back to that first link, about that new Bin Laden tape. Dad and I decided that tape was sort of like when we used to play GoldenEye for the N64. He'd be like, "Okay, truce for a minute, I gotta reload." And I'd be like, "No. *headshot.*"

That's how you deal with terrorists. =)

I am remembering a night long ago when you listed Checkmarks at the bottom of a post. If it hadn't been for that, we wouldn't be friends.

feeling: reminiscent

No sarcastic comments on that, now.

Man. GoldenEye on the N64 was the win.

Especially the scrawny chicks holding rocketlaunchers with just one hand.

WHICH reminds me.

"I have decided that in January, I am going to write a up-to-10,000 word short story, heavily edit it, get opinions, and send it in to Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show."


WELL!?

Where is it!? COUGH IT UP!

Yeah I was wondering about that, too. I need some GOOD reading material for a change. Lit stinks.

Angela: Heyyy, I remember that. Crazy. =)

Ragnar: After reading your amazing tale of thrill and excitement [a.k.a. trip to the store] I realized I just couldn't top that. =(

Sam: See above. And blame Ragnar. =D
