...seeing as how I bought a place in Brentwood...

#72 Study Abroad
....still not sure why I didn't because I'm jealous of everyone that did.

#71 Being the only white person around
...awkward at first but it grows on me. Being the only girl around? An everyday affair.

...never been through one. I guess that means I was the mean one.

#59 Natural Medicine
...how about no medicine? Well, I guess Ricola from time to time.

#58 Japan
...don't think I've jumped on this bandwagon yet. Oh wait...I have driven a Toyota, followed by a Toyota, followed by a Mazda, followed by a Honda. I would say Japan plays an important role in my means of transportation.

another win for google

Can we talk about Google voicemail? Yes. I jumped on the bandwagon today with my droid, and I really wanted to get a message so I could laugh at how bad Google botched it...and I got my wish.

Hubbell lawyers check check check to get a check to see if you can transcript. This is Judy check. I know you.

I'm pretty sure the only words that match are check. And the guy who called me was not named Judy.

This is Judy check...I know you.

Small things, ladies and gents. Small things.

white people: day 2

I went swimming this morning at the gym and can I just say that it was soooo refreshing. You should try it.

#100 Bumper Stickers
...life is good for only $1 yo.

#99 Grammar

#79 Modern Furniture
...Ikea is my heaven on earth.

#78 Multilingual Children
...I like children. Multilingual included.

#77 Musical Comedy
...13 or so years ago my brother introduced me to a cd by the name of They're All Gonna Laugh at Me. Lunchlady Land was our anthem.

#76 Bottles of Water
...grape flavored Aquafina is my new favorite which is weird because I've always been a Dasani person.
