*driving fast doesnt make you kool. it makes you stupid.

*instead of improving cars as you grow up...i seem to keep stepping down.

*i am still bestest friends with tesoro...and yes we still laugh like fiends.

*writing things learned doesnt get old

*being married is the funnest.

*funnest is not a word but a state of mind.

*i still like to dance, just not as obsessed. (although im going this Saturday to lincoln center for mid summer night swing if anyone wants to go)

*things unlearned :HTML.

*how to make a caramel macchiato.

*every cell phone has a camera (remember when that was so kool and new?)

*just because something is in style doesnt mean it LOOKS GOOD!

*service is SO much better than working.

*amphora is not as amazing as the walk home.

*pins still hurt.

*indie is better than mainstream.

*im still the best hair straightener person.

*malls suck, even more when you work in them.

*making a can ham is a lot easier than a full smoked, bone in still, ham.

*i still cant tell time.

*ezabel still rocks my socks.

Thanks!! Although, in my experience you do not end up on time at all! Three words: Garden State Plaza? lol

originalsnob #2.1.1 originalsnobOG 2004

Excuse me there were extenuating circumstances that day. I had spent most of the morning in tears. PLUS I was just as hungry as you as demonstrated by my meal selection.

tesoro #5.1.1 tesoroOG 2001

Are there any drivers in NY? DRIVERS! DRIVERS? OHHHH, RIVERS! lol

punkprincess #5.1.1.1 punkprincessOG 2001

socalgal #6 socalgalOG 2003

YOU are my hero....caramel macchiato's RULE my world!!! MMMMMM

socalgal #7 socalgalOG 2003

things i learned....when you get older your less tolerable to stupid people and picture yourself poking sharp pencils in their eyes!

fivezero #8 fivezeroOG 2003

ahhh, you didn't learn much of anything

punkprincess #8.1 punkprincessOG 2001

listen buddy. it was a joke if you will... a play on words...a little something to conjour up the memory banks from yesteryear.

fivezero #8.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

i know, i know

:]

ilikebirds #9 ilikebirdsOG 2002

i concur with 50s sentiment. you learned nothing..

driving fast isn't cool. it's exciting.. when you're in a nice car...
and neccessarry when you're late late for a date date

g.f.s.rocks #10 g.f.s.rocksOG 2001

So what car do you have now, and whatever happend to the Cabrio?

punkprincess #10.1 punkprincessOG 2001

so the cabrio's life ended b/c the check engine light was on, and it was too expensive to fix whatever prob it was.

so i got a hyandai accent (which i hated) it was like having a soccer mom's car. and then adam totaled it.

then, we got a FREE 1995 ford taurus (which i hated EVEN MORE) the seat belts smelled like body oder from the person before.

and adam got a FREE 1985 truck which i call the s.p. truck. (sexual preditor) if you saw it you would understand. its a beast.

then we took a step up, we're leasing a toyota corrolla...which i DO like but bc we have a congregation of people who dont drive, im constantly driving it for service RACKING up the miles (lease+miles=no good)

so we were given a 1995 caddy which is pretty cool b/c it fits like 6 people COMFORTABLY but has no A.C. which is VERY uncomfortable. and we have been using it for our cleaning business so it smells like chemicals.

but we look pretty snazzy pulling up in a caddy with our fuzzy dice.... lol you would expect either really old people, super ghetto people, punk rock people...but then adam and i, these two short kids, come out. we must look so funny.

punkprincess #10.1.1 punkprincessOG 2001

so to sum up....

3 free cars.

seriously pioneering has its blessings.

even if you dont love the car, it takes you from point a to point b. and thats the purpose.

rocksupastar #10.1.1.1 rocksupastarFounder

um where are you finding all these free cars?!?!?!?

if by free you mean stolen then, thats fine.

B
brothermanOG 2004

Hahahaha.... That was good.

socalgal #10.1.2 socalgalOG 2003

my mechanic loaned me a 2000 caddy and i love it...its all pimp! lol

fivezero #10.1.3 fivezeroOG 2003

you guys rule

juicymango #10.1.4 juicymangoOG 2003

aw the cabrio! fun times USA.

dude a caddy is a step up from ANYTHING really

awesome

juicymango #10.1.4.1 juicymangoOG 2003

excuse me i meant a PIMP caddy

hunkpapap #11 hunkpapapOG 2003

for some reason i love the style

thewalkhome #12 thewalkhomeOG 2003

Things Ive learned...lets see.

People think its cool to come up to me and say i look like ther verizon guy. or elvis costello (very ok with me) or darlene from "rosanne" (not cool with me.

When you get married, you play a lot less guitar, but its ok cuz you dont need to as much.

trying to be the life of the party by eating whole walnuts is a VERY bad idea. not right then, but later.

I can do a spot on vocal impression of Dan Hill. I figured this out by doing a really really bad Keanu.

I love my wife with every bone in my body but i hate when she types "kool".

when you get your appendix out, you can finally read those books you never read (proclaimers), watch those movies you havent seen (dances with wolves) and get free cookies mailed to you.

Not everyone got the memo at the end of eleventh grade to quit "lol"ing.

Pioneer school beats International Convention. Sorry Europe.

The precise time to heat 6 chewy chips ahoy in the microwave is 33 seconds.

Its almost time in my life to trade in my punk studded belt for a white hipster one.

I only like Guiness on-tap, not of those draught can things. And Wheat beers are awesome.

The amount of skateboarding I now do is non-existant.

I used to be fine when i was single, but now if Tinas working, i never seem to even try to make food. Its a brownie and lemonade night, again.

Chris Carrabba is a boy band.

The Motorola Razr is the worst invention known to man.

All those dudes macking to girls at conventions and such look really transparent and lame. Info i couldve used when i was 16.

My hips dont lie.

Word.

fivezero #12.1 fivezeroOG 2003

why play guitar? you got the girl already!

oh, and try a guiness and smithwick's black and tan. unreal.

B
#12.2 brothermanOG 2004

Yes you do look like the Verizon guy. Now everyone knows since Tina posted your wedding album. Haha...

socalgal #12.3 socalgalOG 2003

THIS is great! def had me busting up with:

/People think its cool to come up to me and say i look like ther verizon guy. or elvis costello (very ok with me) or darlene from "rosanne" (not cool with me.

superhero #12.4 superheroOG 2004

yeah well i do a really good adam impression, all i do is close my eyes and pretend i'm a short chris carraba - BAM!

thewalkhome #12.4.1 thewalkhomeOG 2003

I'm actually a half inch taller. Check yo self befrore you wreck yo self, Emeril.

punkprincess #12.4.1.1 punkprincessOG 2001

the fact that you knew that is sad.

you love him just as much as i do. admit it.....

*fist pumping* MAAAAAAAKING OUT!!!

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

HAHA! it's crazy how none of you people feel foolish screaming that one line. i saw DC live with Weezer and 1/2 the place was singing the DC songs and they sang that part all loud and proud...

makin' out. haha. in my old age i call it: passionately displaying physically affectionate familiarity. or PDPAF.

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001

I hate PDPDPAF (public displays of passionately displaying physically affectionate familiarity)

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

PDPDAF is gross. I just want to throw a drink on them or something!

punkprincess punkprincessOG 2001

check out dashboard unplugged. thewalkhome, front & center...

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

another one of those...."hey that's your husband" moments.

i rememeber seeing him, and was like....hey, i KNOW that guy! haha yea, that guy is your hubby now. weird.

punkprincess punkprincessOG 2001

i know i remember you calling me and telling me that the guy from the walk home was in that... i was like are you sure? hahaha

thewalkhome thewalkhomeOG 2003

all of you leave me alone. especially jahanna and tina. jahina.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

hahahha, this made me giggle. meep meep.

punkprincess punkprincessOG 2001

adam asked me why you say things like "meep meep, meow, rah...etc." i told him it just makes sense. he said its our own little none understanding language.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 punkprincess

haha, it does. sometimes, stuff just does not make sense without adding an expletive.

punkprincess punkprincessOG 2001 tesoro

ex·ple·tive (ěk'splĭ-tĭv)
n.
An exclamation or oath, especially one that is profane, vulgar, or obscene.

what does MEEP actually mean?!?!?!?!?!

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 punkprincess

WRONG! The word expletive comes from the Latin verb explere, meaning "to fill", via expletivus, "filling out".

OR

Syntactic expletives are words that perform a syntactic role but contribute nothing to meaning

Meep conveys more of a feeling than an actual MEANING.

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder tesoro

we are all now DUMBER from reading these 2 statements... please throw out your keyboards and never type on this forum again for the love of GOD!

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001 punkprincess

Oh Tina, bringing back the infamous quoting from dictionary.com

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 punkprincess

Weird. My sister and I communicate in "mow"s and "rah"s.

forrestina #12.5 forrestinaOG 2002

I thought my card in which the Verizon guy's life was ended was a good way to put an end to that comparison. Perhaps that link is as hard to sever as people calling me Forrest Gump. Bright side: people don't liken you to a "simple" man-fictional or not.

thewalkhome #12.5.1 thewalkhomeOG 2003

Very true. And the card was a welcome end to the bane of my existence. And the cookies you sent were great. Life is like a box of cookies. Or chocolates. Wait. I'm sorry that was uncalled for.

forrestina #12.5.1.1 forrestinaOG 2002

the only fun part of the FG thing is when I see my friend Jenny and she says Hey For-Rest and I say Jen-Nye.

tesoro #12.6 tesoroOG 2001

i just caught the "6 chips ahoy cookie" thing. Whenever i bring home those cookies, Austin eats no less than a sleeve a sitting....what is that like 12? sick.

g.f.s.rocks #12.6.1 g.f.s.rocksOG 2001

I have to watch myself because I almost accomplished that feat the other night while watching the Mets game... the only thing that stopped me was that I was out of milk...

fivezero #12.6.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

i know exactly what you mean

thewalkhome #12.6.2 thewalkhomeOG 2003

LIAR! if you knew anyhting about chewy chips ahoy, you'd know they dont come in sleeves like regular chips ahoy. Instead, they are seperated in little segregational plastic dividers. LIAR! Embarrassed now, arent you?

tesoro #12.6.2.1 tesoroOG 2001

ewww, no. i never get the chewy kind, they're gross. we both like the original.

thewalkhome thewalkhomeOG 2003

pennsylvania. figures. oh snap.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

hahha, you don't make any sense, NY traitor.

thewalkhome thewalkhomeOG 2003

whatever...jersey may be new yorks armpit, but pennsy is new yorks dinglebery.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003
