Top '05

…on our way to the end of 05…
My mom still doesn’t understand how AOL instant messenger could possible work

My dad has learned how to text message…scary

I finally got a DVR and a puppy…don’t know why those are on the same line

6 feet under made me want to kill myself….whats new?

I learned what being chuffed means, what the genre of Vag rock is, and that there is a 4th trimester

Sausage from the stand next to the church that is actually a raving/ragging disco club in Atlanta may be the closest that church has ever been to heaven

Sam’s is back..True or False?

I flipped(or flicked depending on place of birth) off a guy my dad’s age driving a ’82 mazda sports car outside my girlfriends apartment…solid

Everyone moved way too much

Some became obsessively obsessed with conspiracies..however believable they may be

I’ve seen Lindsey Lohan’s ex-boyfriend IN PERSON…someone even said she may have been there …

I learned that iPod rip works……..rips the hell out of your iPod

I have seen U2 live….it is ok now for me to descend to where the streets have no names… no, really in Atl the streets have no names...really, they don’t…no I get the joke, really…I was just saying

We won a flag football game…maybe even 2 I can’t remember…little blurry

And…..I still did not play Ultimate Frisbee

...it could go on and on, but I’m really getting bored enough to open this window and attempt to fly…
