    congratulations on making The Most Random Poll Ever.

    Spontaneous roadtrip only if it involves somewhere near Baton Rouge. Oooh, I’m selfish. You can ram riced-out Civics with your truck if you can’t make it down here, though.

    :D

    I hope you feel better, Matt.

    thanks, but i think the randomness keeps people from voting…

    :o) Swinging by Baton Rouge was implied in the spontaneous roadtrip thing… Wait–I could ram Civics on my way there! Yeah. Then I could do both.

    Get my text message?

    At LSU there are like 2457346 riced-out Civics. It would be so beautiful.

    OH!! Yes I did. Like, as I was pulling out of my driveway my phone started to vibrate (cell phone rings are so last year) and I was like, “EEEeee!”
    And then I saw that it said “huzzah-worthy,” and that started my day out on a very good note. I had such a good day! Thank you God!

    So many exclamation points!

    :)

    I can’t believe I forgot to use this icon.

  5. admin says:

    Aw. Well, you’re the embodiment of all that which is huzzah anyway, so whatever icon you use actually works to the end you were going for :o)

    Glad you got the message. Ah…modern technology…

  6. orangemily says:

    Your icon is so cool. I know I must’ve told you that at least a million times.

    I think that huzzah thing is a compliment? If so, thanks! If not… thanks anyway! :)

    haha, wampum bucks?

    anyhoo…

    I’d offer to join you on a random road trip, but A) I’m in China, B) Driving in China = scariness, C) You’re in the US of A

    alas.

    do try the bubble bath though :)

  8. admin says:

    yes, wampum bucks.

    So willing to join me on a roadtrip? :o) Not that I would object in the slightest, but what’s this I read on your journal about you being an unwilling nomad? But perhaps you’re only referring to actual moves, not “vacations” per se.

    Bon chance driving in China. I hope I won’t have to read about any near-death experiences involving driving (although admittedly they could be entertaining–perhaps you could fabricate one for our amusement? :o)

    there are TONS of , as we call em, ‘got rice?’ cars (there was one of those cars with that bumber sticker on it) around here…there’s this one i see all the time…it’s cobalt blue, it has bright red rims and bright red window tint all over. eek! it’s hideous.

    is it me or do all the guys driving those things look the same?

    have you seen the ‘civic nation’ honda commercial? funny.

  10. admin says:

    It is a perpetually perplexing issue to me how those guys, in their right mind, could think those cars are attractive. But I guess if you just hang out with the same crowd all the time, the insular quality of it causes them to develop whacked-out ideas of what makes their car look good. Kind of like how an evolutionist would say marsupials developed in Australia, except with cars and stickers.

    I’ve seen the commercial…funny stuff :o)

    http://www.anti-rice.com is a good site for a laugh… If you think the cars in your neck of the woods are bad, click on the “galleries” link at left. These are a couple of my favorites:

    i. love. it.

    thank you so much. i was actually laughing out loud!

    Re: yes, wampum bucks.

    I’m referring to having to live the entire summer out of a backpack ;)

    well, no driving for me right now, as they are currently having a huge problem in Beijing, as a TON of people bought cars when the SARS epidemic happened, and none of them really know how to drive. I saw one accident this morning, and it was actually quite amusing to see the two people arguing. it was just a fender bender, so nobody was hurt, but there was a huge crowd standing around watching.

  13. admin says:

    Ah…so the nomadic lifestyle is acceptable given proper amenities at any given venue? I could do that :o)

    That sounds chaotic. Don’t they have driver’s ed programs en Chine?

  14. immortaleve says:

    they have driver’s ed, but just imagine if all of DC drivers were sixteen year olds with brand new cars.

    yeah.
