Alicia — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 02:49:06 +0000

[20:30] There’s a word for the act of throwing someone or something out of a window. Is there a word for lighting someone on fire?

[19:35] the lady working the desk behind mine says “So what’s the poop?” a lot.
[19:36] It really makes me want to light her cube on fire.

[14:14] I was talking to Ali on the phone earlier, because sometimes I just randomly call her when I’m lonely, and she said you had this thing she read about on CNN
[14:15] http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/06/18/o.empathy/
[14:15] She might have seen it on Oprah
[14:16] She was like, “That’s totally what Cal has. That’s why we can’t ever have a good cry together after the TV gets repaired.”
[14:16] and I was like, “Go on…”
[14:16] And then I realized I’d unzipped myself on the freeway
[14:16] Actually, I didn’t realize it until the trucker did the horn thing.
[14:16] actually, it wasn’t until the third trucker.
[14:16] …
[14:17] I’m not sure that link can live up to the intro you just gave it.

(for the record, I said no such thing as Cal is awesome, and also the TV thing is an inside joke)

And from a separate conversation…

[14:12] The difference being that Cal actually wants to hit her.
[14:12] like, with a pipe.

He was on a roll today:

[10:44] You know, what they say about getting desensitized is true.
[10:44] 15 years ago, this shit would have freaked me out
[10:45] Now, I’m like, “Whatever, trannies at work don’t even make me blink”

In an entirely different conversational realm:

Clark: What is that white shit?! WHAT IS THAT WHITE SHIT ON FUCKING MARS????!

Ajax: Awww shit, they found my stash. Great, now how am I gonna kill stupid rich people?

Frank: I think it’s a chewy nougat center.

Steve: Did you have to look the spelling up for “nougat”? Don’t lie…

Frank: no. but I totally googled it right after that because I realized that other than it being a chewy candy center I had no idea what nougat really was. Turns out the answer is: it’s a chewy candy center

I have great friends.
