Nothing like running up (#?) flights of stairs to catch thetrain. Just enough energy left to type this status update.
Well, the straight bar crawl is off to good start. Straightguy turns to me and says, "Vodka tonic? That's a sissy
drink." Me: "Well, I am a sissy, beeotch." We are friends now. :)
So this lady at "the walmarts" just tested me by walking out in the street like she owned it. And what
did I do? I pushed the gas pedal. I don't think I've seendreadlocks swing around in a fury like that since
a Willow Smith music video. Lol.
If anyone is interested, Micheal Myers is chasing Jamie Lee Curtis.
People didn't seem to appreciate me playing "Baby I'm Burning" during our fire-drill while hoofing
it down 15 flights of stairs
Just when they say you can't, makes me wanna do it even more ;-)
