5K? I'm not proud of it. I'm on all the lists now :(

What were you thinking?

What a goober :P

Well, yeah. I was mad that they shut down streets so early. It inhibited my run. How hard is it to wait? How hard is it to stay the fack out of my way?!?!?!!?! :D Because of the work commitments, I couldn't participate in the festivities :(

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... :) I like it when were can have a little PM thing going AND get posts for it :P

Yeah .... I have some friends on this board, and it's super cool :) I also have some enemies on this board, but those enemies were cultivated through good intentions gone bad.

Shudddup, kyddo! :P I should have stood up to him more. Fat Tuesday is pretty big here. At 6pm they shut down the Gaslamp Quarter to all auto traffic and let people go crazy. They basically allow it to be the French Quarter for 8 hours.

Do we care?

Eric: I have pretty high expectations for you because I see some potential there. Gaby: I know you don't just tolerate me, though I don't know other people's views well enough to say if I'm tolerated, appreciated, despised or something else. I imagine if varies a little. As long as you and a few others are cool with me, I'm doing OK.

Last night was Fat Tuesday. Down here they had a lot of the street roped off to car traffic. Traffic officers were directing cars and pedestrians. I thought one office was taking too long so I yelled at him "Hey! Are we gonna get to cross soon?" "You have a problem?" he responded. "Yeah! I want to get across the street today." "Sir, I've got all these cars here and ..." "And look at all these people waiting!" At this point his partner come up to me, right in my face. "Do we have a problem?" he says in his best "My Dad Never Hugged Me" voice. "Yes," I tell him. "When are we going to get to go?" "Do you want to go to jail?" "Uh, no." "OK then, what's the problem?" "I just want to be able to cross a street." Leaving, the officer says "Thank you, sir." And that's my bad-ass story.

Yep. It was a first. Never had a officer in my face before.

Yeah ... that's probably why you tolerate me. But I guess, ideally, people's expectation levels would be somewhere between yours and mine.

Yeah ... a lot of our allusions are getting a little inside ... which is kewl. I wonder, though, if people are starting to at least understand the jist of them, though.

I'm not really sure. I'm out of money until money, so I can't get my car fixed ... ... so my options are very limited. I'm not too sure. Maybe I'll just run a lot. I don't really know. Oh ... an office threatened to take me to jail last night :)

Gracias. I think the rest of the week should be a little easier than the last two have. Hopefully I can regroup a little bit.

Those high expectations are your fault. We were talking about weaknesses - That's another one of mine: I tend to think too highly or people and expect to much of them. This leads to me being hard on them when they feel to live up to high expectations. Oh, boy. I should delete that.

You know what that power is (remember the conversation last night). Hey: Do you think people read these threads we engage in? If so, what do you think they're thinking?

OMG! I was up until 2am last night finishing some last minute stuff. Tonight I'm not working at all. I'm actually about to crack a beer.

More the latter, but that doesn't quite hit on it because I know you wouldn't be approaching it with the intent to hurt me. I guess I don't like the idea of me potentially having a reason to think anybody but the best of you. Boy ... that's a pressure-filled statement, huh? Well, it's not as lofty as it sounds, but if you started playing with me trying to press my buttons I'd probably be disappointed.

Nah ... I'm not that smart. At least, tonight I'm not that smart.

No, I'm serious. I don't like the idea of you trying to press my buttons.

"Ugh" is actually a Devon trademark. I thought I had found a way to answer your question from the other night.

I've had problems in the past, too. But then again, I'm not you or your sister. I would think you two would be more apt to get along with people than I am. You tend to have a weird power over people and she has her monthly thingermabob.

No, Gaby! Don't try! Please :embarrased:
