My Quiz

Bored at work, so I made a quiz...

Take my Quiz on QuizYourFriends.com!

I Hate Chicago!

OMG! I saw a rat (mouse, whatever, it's black) in my house when I came home about 30 minutes ago. I screamed, ran upstairs to my room and closed the door. And just now as I'm typing away on my computer, thinking I'm in the safe haven of my room, I see the rat IN MY ROOM!!!!! It just went behind my desk. OMG!!! I hope there's not more than one of them.

I don't know what to do!!! I've NEVER seen a rat in person before. I don't know how to deal with this situation. How am I supposed to sleep tonight knowing that a RAT is in my freaking bedroom?!?!

How did it get in here? What is it attracted to?? Wonder if it has anything to do w/ the hole that Mr. Hong left in my wall for the door that he's going to put in place connecting the 2 apartments? OMG, what do I do????

Dan and Michael are both telling me to ignore it. IGNORE it??? As if I could?

I'm really freaked out right now. I have no idea what to do; I have no one to help me... :( Mr. Hong is in China... OMG! I cannot live in this kind of condition. Dear Lord, please help me!

I Hate Driving!!

I think I drove more this weekend than all of my driving times combined since I've moved to Chicago. I've forgotten how horrible it is to sit in stop-n-go traffic, and I think my tolerance level and my patience have both gone down, dramatically.

Let's see, my trips consisted of:
2x roundtrips to Schaumberg (love ya Freebs, I'd pick you up again.)
1 trip Schaumberg to Aurora (the WORST traffic on I-88)
2x roundtrips to downtown/Union Station (love ya Jo! I'd pick you up again too!)
Numerous trips to Chinatown

Ok, maybe it doesn't seem like THAT much when I list it out like that. I shouldn't complain so much. Still, I've become accustomed to driving 3-5 minutes from my place to Chinatown (or Ed's Potsticker's).

Parking, however, is quite another ordeal...

It was nice to see so many familiar faces though: Rick, Karen, Asher, Joanna, Auntie Jennifer & Uncle Ken (thanks for dinner!), Tony (congrats! I'm very proud of you! :)), Calvin, and of course, Irene!

Some Kind of Utopia?

Went back to Dallas for Christine's shower this past weekend. I've forgotten how much I missed Oasis. :( (Not that I don't love my current Chicago Smallgroup...) I wish ALL my friends can live in one place (maybe fun Chicago?), and we can build our commune...

Ask Me If I Have a Stomach Ache in the Morning

It's midnight, and I just came back from my first Maxwell Street experience. As I'm standing there in the street, next to a highway, with a bunch of...uh...people around us, using James' car as table, splitting a (rather delicious, I must say) Polish sausage w/ Michael, I realized two things:

1. This ain't no Dallas no more.
2. The Chicago skyline really is striking.

Washington Post's MENSA Invitational

The Washington Post once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are highlights of this year's winners:

1. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

2. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

3. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.

4. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

5. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

6. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

7. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.

8. Glibido: All talk and no action.

9. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

10. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and a butthole. (I censored that last word.)

If I Was an Animal...

I would be a seeing-eye dog. :(
