In case you are curious, the word is pronounced “meem”, not “mee-mee”. I felt pretty dumb pronouncing it incorrectly in my head for the first couple weeks after seeing it used.
Despite the fact that meme is a word drivers of Scion xBs surely use daily, I have gone ahead and fallen in line with […]
I’m going through a bunch of my digital photos trying to find one suitable for becoming my gravitar. This one does not fit the bill, but it cracks me up.
I took it in 1998 while vacationing in Yosemite National Park. What more could a road aspire to than to be hard and flat? […]
Tonight I did something I have never done in my life: trimmed my fingernails without the use of teeth. Pretty exciting stuff, huh? It may be an extremely mundane task for most people, but I am seriously excited.
I don’t remember learning to tie my shoes or how to not shit […]
Everyone knows that the car you drive speaks volumes about you. Everything from marital status to income level to penis size can be inferred by one’s vehicle.
With that in mind, what do you think of when you see someone behind the wheel of something like this?:
What is your first impression here? Not of […]
…that I am an asshole.
When I got home from work last night, I had the urge to call my estranged spouse and ask her how her attorney was progressing with the divorce paperwork. Rather than doing this, however, I decided to lay down and watch TV. This, as usual, turned into an extended […]
It has now been a full week without any nail nibbling. I am not ready to claim victory for myself just yet, though. These things are getting to the length where they are always noticable to me when typing. Plus, and this will sound weird to those who have never bitten their […]
Here is my day in a nutshell. This is a piece of an IRC log with my friend Jenn:
[22:41] [g00`Fee] I have been depressed the last couple days myself
[22:41] [g00`Fee] sleeping TONS
[22:41] [g00`Fee] ugh
[22:44] [g00`Fee] but my nails are pretty
[22:44] [g00`Fee]
[22:44] jennout lol
It has now been five full days since I have bitten my nails. The temptation isn’t really there at this point, either. Ever since getting that manicure, I have not had any rough edges to distract or annoy me into biting them. In fact, the anise oil has sat unused since the […]
After work I went to Marshall’s and looked at clothes. I didn’t find any pants I liked, but I found three boxed shirt & tie combos that looked good and were not that spendy. It has been a long time since I treated myself to some new duds, and it felt pretty good […]
Before I get into the topic at hand, I must chime in that I am quite happy with the anise oil as a nail-biting deterrent. When I first put it on, I cannot even lift a glass to my mouth to drink without almost gagging from the fumes. After several minutes, however, it […]
Walgreen’s called me this afternoon and told me that my special order of anise oil had arrived. That was speedy…
When I picked it up, I had a few surprises awaiting me. The first was the price. At $12.99 an ounce, one would think that some endangered animal had to be clubbed to […]
I received a postcard yesterday. It was from my “friends” at AOL. They are going to keep hounding my ass until I move again. Bastards. Why did I ever think their broadband offering would have any value to me? Was it the lure of the free gift the CompUSA puppet […]
This just arrived via email from my friend Suzette (who is all woman). I appreciate all the help I can get in this area, and being the generous type, I am passing on my wisdom for anyone who happens to stumble upon it here.
Words Women Use
Fine
This is the word women use to end an […]
I had a nice, relaxing time in Seattle. I stayed with my friend Randy, who I had not seen for a few years. He looked really good. All the weight he has lost since I saw him last…I think I gained it. X.X
If I had been more ambitious, I probably could […]
I’ve given up on Thum. I just got back from vacation where I didn’t chew my nails at all. Unfortunately, they are nubbins after going to work today.
My next attempt is going to be anise oil. I put an order in for a bottle at Walgreens after work. This will probably […]
All this talk of Seattle got me thinking…I should go visit there again soon. Imagine my surprise at finding a round trip ticket on Northwest for $220! Needless to say, I snapped that badboy up. Of course, I called my boss and asked if it was OK to take Tue-Fri off this […]
My friend Jenn pointed me towards a website called “Find Your Spot” this morning. It is a site that helps dorks like me choose a suitable place to live based on criteria such as weather, city size, hobbies, etc. After completing the 8 pages of survey questions, here is what I saw:
Seattle […]
I just got shocked into feeling a bit of reality that I guess I had not been allowing myself to feel. Without going into gory detail, I can safely eliminate Tennessee from my list of potential places to find a job. Hopefully this will turn into a good thing and allow me to […]
I have one thing to say to all the dumbass drivers of the world:
Learn how to merge into and out of traffic.
Never signal turns? Fine. Run stop signs? Go for it. Drive the wrong way down a one way? Knock yourself the hell out. Just effin learn how to merge, […]
OK. I’ve bitten my nails for my whole life and have decided it is about time to knock it the hell off. I have heard of products designed to aide in this process by making the nails taste so disgusting that biting them creates reinforcement for not biting them. One such product […]
