You Are Apple Red

It has to get better from here... right?

Ok, so, when I last left you, I was incredibly happy with a new job, new man and a new pad, all of which were going "according to plan"... I was supreme - like a burrito.
Until the forces of Evil cried "RELEASE THE HOUNDS!!!"

I suppose it all began about 2 weeks ago.
Nic started acting kinda fishy, wanted to stay the night at his place instead of mine. Suddenly had some "errands to accomplish"... that he could say no more about than that it was "just some business he needed to take care of".
hm.
right.
So, I'm not dumb. I say "be carefull" and smile knowingly. In my experience, when a man has "business" to take care of that he can't tell you about, it's because either you shouldn't or else don't want to know about it.
So, it came as no surprise, really, when on Friday, as I was leaving work he sent a text message informing me of his decision to leave me and return to his ex. The girl he had been with, off and on, for 4 years, each time she would cheat, they would split, she'd be "real sorry", and she's sweet talk her way into another chance... then, she'd cheat... etc. (I think you know how the cycle goes.) This is the girl we (and when i say "we" what I mean is "he") refer to as "the slut".
yeah.
that's right folks. I didn't even know she had a real name. I mean, I suspected.. but I'd never actually heard it spoken.
So, let me recap. Nic broke up with my phone... to go back to his ex, "the Slut".
But he still wants to be friends. In fact, the offer still stands that if i need anything, i shouldn't hesitate to call him.
But it doesn't stop there.
That night, aside from my heart being broken, i also managed to break 1. my new "SmartPhone".. which was so expensive that my wireless provider actually refused to insure it. 2. My glasses and 3. My car.
That's right. Wrecked the car. Hit a curb and blew a brand new tire, knocked the allignment all out of whack.
SO... true to his word, Nic came to my rescue the next night and put the doughnut on it for me so I could make it to the tire place Monday when they opened to get a new tire so I could make it to work.
Monday morning rolls around, i replace my tire - they didn't have any used, so i had to buy ANOTHER brand new one... $80.
I go to work, and call about my phone. I had broken the back peice (that never quite fit right to begin with) and as a result, my phone would shut completely off every time i touched it, which made it extremely difficult to actually use... I had stopped by my wireless provider's storefront over the weekend, and they informed me that since i had purchased the phone 35 days ago, it was outside their 30 day return policy, so they couldn't just give me a new back piece. But I could contact the warranty people, and they would send me out a whole new phone, and all i'd have to do was switch the SIM card out, and voila, problem solved. I just needed to make sure i specified to the warranty people that the issue i was having involved the back battery cover, as they usually don't include those when mailing replacement phones.
So, I call the warranty department. And I am informed that the warranty does NOT cover the battery cover to the phone, and they are "very sorry" that someone told me it did, but in all actuallity, if i wanted a new battery cover, i would have to purchase it from the manufacturer. The offered me the manufacturer's number. I said, "ok". I called the manufacturer and discussed the issue i was having with them, and they said "sorry, but we have nothing to do with warrantys. Do ya want to buy the back peice or not?
I said "sure. why not? i guess i have no choice.".. The lady said "It's $12.99".... FOR A TINY BLACK PEICE OF PLASTIC?????
......... "And the shipping is $7.00"

$20.00 FOR A BATTERY COVER????!?!?!?!
ARE YOU INSANE, WOMAN?

Is what i was thinking. In reality, i said "seriously?!?!?! *heavy sigh*....ok.. i'll take it."

so, whoopie doo.. my battery cover is on it's way to me. It'll take 5 days, unless i wanna pay to upgrade the shipping to "overnight". I said "no, thanks".

Meanwhile, I've been invited to a rock concert by none other than my ex, whom i have never mentioned before, as it was SOO very long ago, but we remain friends.
You know what Harry said to Sally about Men and Women being friends, right? Well, I assure you, I'M not interested....

Monday night, i go see a friend who happens to work at a car dealership, because ever since i hit that curb my tires make a terrible screaming sound when i drive. I have determined this is not good, and since i had already planned to purchase a new car, perhaps this is just God's way of making that happen for me... right? So, i see my friend, and he is unable to help me, because, SURPRISE, i have crappy credit. Just like i told him to begin with. So, back to the drawing board.

Teusday, Nic takes me car shopping. We go to a little buy-here-pay-here lot that my friend referred me to when he couldn't help me the night before, saying "I have a friend that works at this place.. and he can definitely help you.. go up there tomorrow and ask for Anthony"..
So i get there, right, and the guy comes outside, and i say "Are you Anthony?" and he says "yes" and I say "My friend Derek sent me to talk to you" and he said "Derek who? I don't know any Derek...." You can imagine how the rest of the business encounter went. Suffice to say, I don't like it much when someone who is trying to sell me something is visibly nervous... Makes me think they're trying to fuck me big time.
Nic looked at the cars for me. There were only about 10 there. None of 'em worth a shit, especially not what this place was askin for 'em... Slim Pickin's... We left. Sans car.
The next day, I drive to work, stopping on the way to fill up my tank at $53.00.... and as I arrive, tires screaming, the entire maintenance team at my job takes notice of the condition my car is in. I park, and examine my tires. One is so bald the steel belt is showing - but i knew that.. The one i was more concerned with was the one i had just purchased a mere 48 hours before. It too worn down to the steel belt on the outside, clearly from the stress of the total lack of allignment, and furthermore, it has gashes and gouges all the way around, where something in the wheel well has been rubbing and has sliced through the new tread, and in fact, even through the steel belt.
"Well, crap on a crap cracker..." I think to myself.
There goes $80.
So, i go into the office and call my friend who had referred me to his "friend" Anthony to express my dissappointment. My friend offers to leave work early and take me car shopping himself to make up for my poor (to say the least) experience. I accept the offer.
However, we didn't leave so early, in fact, only by about an hour, which didn't leave much time to shop around. After a few unsatisfactory, and downright unpleasant, encounters at a few different lots, we finally wind up at sunset at Ray Skillman, and I'm pretty much at the point that i will buy anything, because bottom line is, i have to get to work in the morning, and my current vehicle is trying to kill me.
Long story short, the gentlemen at Ray Skillman were extremely pleasant, and helpfull, and in fact, bent over backwards to get me the best deal they could. Pulled a lot of strings for me... And I am now the proud "owner" of a 2004 Hyundai Elantra. 4 door, automatic, 4 cylindar.. no leather, but hey.. beggers can't be choosers.
I drive home with my new car. Hooray.
My old car is sitting in the parking lot, with the last load of stuff from my old apartment still inside, because frankly, i haven't had the time, energy, or will to unload it. Not to mention that there would be noplace to put the crap, since nothing in the new apartment is unpacked yet, because like i said, my "get up and go" recently "got up and went."
Wednesday draws to a close.
By the way, did i mention that Nic's new-ex-girlfriend just so happens to live in the same apartment complex I do? As a matter of fact, only about 4 doors down from some very good friends of mine, so every time i visit them, for example - to show them my new car, i have the pleasure of seeing his truck parked outside her apartment. I know what you're thinking, and yes, he still has his windshield and all his windows. Fortunately for him, I'm not crazy.

Thursday - uneventful, thank you sweet, tiny, innocent, infant, baby Jesus.

Friday, payday. hooray, except 75% of my check is already gone, thanks to the post-dated check i cut for the downpayment on my car Wed. So, I just got paid, and i'm already broke. No matter. Gonna go have dinner and a drink or two with some old friends. I need it. It's still in the budget, as long as i K.I.S.S - Keep It Simple, Stupid.
I go, have a good time, and come home. Also, I recieve the new back piece for my phone. (Funny, it doesn't look like it's worth $20...)


Sat. morning.. up early to go to my first Arabic lesson. I know what you're thinking - "Arabic?? Why Arabic?" My answer to you is "why not?" I love language. The young woman is very nice.. We have an arrangement that I will teach her english if she teaches me Arabic. So far, so good.. We only had 1 hour, because i had a LOT to do that day.. but it was productive..
she learned the spelling, pronounciation, and definition of "aunt" "ant" "blow" "smell" "neice" "nephew" and "perfume".... She wrote down and went over a lot more with me, but all i remember is "hello" "thank you very much" "chocolate" and "goodbye". Ah well, it's a start. Next week we'll have more time.

After arabic, i pick up my ex - the one from 10 years ago- and we get ready to go to this concert. First, i must get a jacket from home, go to the store to pick up some jeans, a t-shirt, and tennis shoes, because none of those things are in my wardrobe - at least not that fit - and attending a hard-rock concert in a skirt and heels seems imprudent. Then, to the bank, and we drop my son off at the sitter's and it's off to the show. To be honest, this was the highlight of my week. The show was absolutely great. I had a blast. best time i'd had in a while.. it was good to get my mind off of things for a bit.
however, it couldn't ever be just that easy for me, so of course while i was there, i managed to lose my driver's licence and a $20.00 bill.

For the record, i ended the night w/ my ex with a warm hand shake and a heartfelt "thank you."


Sunday, I'm up early for church, and then work. I don't usually have to work weekends, but i'm covering for the weekend girl as a favor so she can go to the Indy 500 race - for the first time in her life.. I come home that night and crash. I'm exhausted.

Monday morning.. Memorial Day... I get up... My son has lice.
Hooray..
off to the store, where it's $35 for the stuff to treat his hair - and mine, cause i can't even risk getting it... i have WAY too much hair to try to comb that shit out of it... plus we buy a couple cans of that spray to do bedding, pillows, couches, etc...
I am running late now to my family's annual Memorial Day party.. they are calling every half hour to if i'm almost done... grrrr.
i arrive a few hours late, but still in time to catch some of the food from the cookout.. it was a good time, I got to see some old friends that i don't hang out with very often and i got to visit with my grandma who is here visiting from California... My son loses a tooth at the party.. good for him.
Later monday night, i go to the laundromat, where it takes $30 in quarters to wash and dry every stitch of clothing and bedding in my house to de-louse them. bummer... i get home around midnight, i am exhausted, again. So exhausted, in fact, that the tooth fairy fell asleep almost immediately and completely forgot to come for my poor son's tooth. He was so dissappointed this morning. And I felt like a real Class 1 Asshole. I told him it was probably because we had just moved and we should leave a note on our old apartment door for her and try it again tonight...



So i get to work this morning and balance my checkbook to find that....
SURPRISE!!!

I am soon to have negative dollars...
not good.
apparently cars, and tires, and freakin' gasoline, and lice treatments aren't so good for the budget.
ok, ok, neither are outfits, and dinners, but, in my defense, i thought they were in the budget.. they were in the budget, untill i lost cash, and had the whole lice fiasco.. two unplanned expenses.. i guess this is why responsible people have savings accounts, huh?
I guess i should balance my checkbook more often.
i think i will..

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!!!

Then, this afternoon, as if in answer to my prayers, my friend Jason calls. He wants to buy my old car from me for $500. He only has $150 now, but i trust him to make payments.. i say "sure!" cause i'm in desperate need of the cash.

Also, i get a message from Nic..

(He and I, by the way, have still been communicating - email, myspace, text, call... every day.. we have seen eachother twice in the last week since we split..
There's a lot of awkward tension. Pleasant, but still awkward and tense.. It's good to see him, though, and i get the feeling he feels the same way. I have discussed with him that i think he's making a poor choice.... that "garbage never leaves the dump"... that it's like taking a drink of milk, finding out it's rotten, and putting it back in the fridge, hoping it won't be rotten tomorrow.... He says I'm probably absolutely right........ but he's gonna go ahead and do it, anyway. I am starting to believe that he actually is retarded. )

Any-who, he just returned from a weekend trip to PA to visit family and friends. While he was there, he scored a washing machine for me for my new place.. he had promised to do so back when we were still an item.. so, he called today to say he was gonna be over to install it for me..
And so he was.. and it was, as always, great to see him.. but still a bit awkward.. like, i wanna touch him, but i can't.
We still look at eachother "funny".... i can't explain it, so i hope everyone knows what i'm talking about.. like the look you gave that kid you had a crush on in middle school, but you were too shy to tell them... it's like we can't wipe the stupid grins off our faces...
So he installs the washer, and leaves just as my friend jason arrives to look at my old car. i hand him keys and tell him it's out front. He says "where?"... i say "right out front... right over......" and i go to the door to point, and.......
"WHERE'S MY CAR?"
well, seems it's been towed this afternoon.. for having a flat tire... the same flat tire that jason was just about to fix... as a matter of fact, i didn't have anyone TO fix it till jason got there..
but, as usual, i'm a day late and a dollar short.
my car is gone.
with my tank full of gas - that i needed to get by on till next payday..
and also with all that stuff from the old apartment, includidng my BRAND NEW VACCUUM CLEANER...
not to mention the fact that, no car means i can't sell my car to my friend, means NO CASH..
I'm back at square one.
And now it's gonna cost me @$320.00 just to get the car from the tow lot...
then, i can sell it to my friend for $150...
leaving me only $170 in the hole...
not to mention the overage i'm already worried about on my checking account. And still 2 weeks till payday..

Fuck me.
what am i gonna do?

I think i broke a mirror somewhere that i just don't know about..

On the bright side, though, i guess things HAVE to start looking up from here..
short of me getting beaten, raped or robbed, i can't imagine things could get any worse... but i'd better knock on wood just in case...
*knocks on wood*

I guess "it could always suck more..."
(if you haven't ever heard the "Life Sucks Hotline", please waste no time dialing this number... (781) 382-3756.....keep listening after the laughter...just when you think it's over, it's not)


Well, with that, i must bid you folks "adieu"... my head hurts from staring at the computer screen without my glasses..

Thanks for letting me bitch and vent, that is, if you've read this far.
Pray for me.
Love,
Sarah

Back In Action!

Posted on 5/16/2007 12:51:41 PM | (2) Comments

Alright, folks, I'm back in action.. I've been a bit busy recently what with the job change, and the move, and all, but it's all about over now and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel..
I don't suppose there are a lot of you out there that read my blog at all, much less "faithfully", so I doubt i was missed - much, but nevertheless, I thought i'd make the official announcement that after a short hiatus, I am back on the scene. For those of you out there that DID notice that I had gone MIA, and who missed me, THANK YOU!
So, i realize that the last "real" blog i posted kinda left the few people who care enough about me to read my posts hanging.. so, in case you haven't heard, lemme catch ya up on the recent goings on...
first, i took the new job. :D probably one of the best decisions i've ever made in my life. I love my job. :D
So, the job change precipitated a move, of which i am currently in the process of tying up the loose ends. I think I only have one more load of miscellaneous items to take from the old place to the new, then vaccuming, then turning the keys in to the old place, probably, Thursday. It'll be such a relief. Meanwhile, i discovered i have a lot less shit than i thought i did, and i don't expect it will take me very long to unpack, so, that's good news, i guess. Also, since with the new job and the new pad, i won't be paying rent (one of the perks of working in this industry), i can afford a new car - which is something i have desperately needed for quite some time now. SO, i'll be car-shopping in a week or two. Anyone have any suggestions? My only "must-have's" are :
1) automatic
2) 4 door
3) leather interior
4) 4 or 6 cylindar - haven't decided which yet, don't know if i want to be economical, or if the extra power would be worth the extra expense..

Furthermore, as it turns out, Chris, the old upstairs neighbor, is officially seeing the little hippie chick, and that is fine.. they are both really cool people, and fun to hang out with - and they're good together, but, er, ultimately, he's just not my cup 'o tea, really.. cool guy and all, but, we make better friends than we would lovers. However, as it just so happens, it seems no sooner had i posted the blog about my interest in Chris, than i meet Nic, who may potentially be my future husband. :D haha.. Long story, but suffice to say, i really, really, really dig this guy. (and i thought Chris and i had a great "connection"? Boy, oh, boy... Nic could run circles around Chris... ) I honestly feel like Nic and I are "two peas in a pod", as the saying goes. Perhaps you will say i'm just being a silly girl... we shall see, i suppose. I do know that so far he has more than met the basic criteria, i.e. 1. has a job, 2. has his own place 3. has his own vehicle AND a valid driver's licence, 4. is not a felon 5. doesn't have a drug problem, 6. is good with my son 7. is intelligent 8. never been married 9. no kids 10. is a Christian... AND, not only has he met all those basic qualifications, but he has even surpassed my expectations, in that he also 1. is responsible and dependable 2. has a great sense of humor 3. wants to eventually get married/have kids 4. is handsome 5. is just generally a blast to be around... Furthermore, so far he has proven to be 1. honest 2. monogomous 3. caring and compasionate 4. a nice guy 5. and last but most certainly not least, very good to me.
So, we'll how this goes. I'll keep ya posted on whether or not we've set a date. :D

So that's what's new, i guess...
I'm running out of things to say now, so i suppose i will just leave you to ponder this clip from my favorite site, www.overheardinnewyork.com




We're Thinking of Going on the Road
Teen girl #1: Lauren! What is the name of the movie I saw that one time? You know -- there was a guy in it. He had, um... hair? He was sad and stuff?
Lauren: Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands.
Teen girl #1: Yes! Exactly! Him! He was in another movie. I swear... Um... His hair was different, though, and he had that hat. We should rent that movie.
Lauren: The movie Secret Window will scare you. Your mind can't take in something like that.
Teen girl #1: Hey! Well, yeah, maybe you're right.
Teen girl #2, to Lauren: How can you ever tell what she's talking about?!
Lauren: I can read the minds of idiots. It's a sad and useless power. Except, of course, in cases like this.

Now listen here, you pretentious, self-righteous bastard... Hate is a strong word, Buddy, and let me also remind you that you don't know the first thing about me, either. But I bet I know you better than you think... You have no idea how well I know you. We won't go into exactly how well I know you, but suffice to say that I know more about you than you would ever guess. For instance, I know about how you "found God" in order to make yourself feel better about all the self-satisfying, ungrateful, egotistical, selfish, inconsiderate, hypocritical, unethical, immoral things you do on a regular basis. You use Jesus like Fire Insurance. At least I don't use people to satisfy my own selfish desires. At least I don't need to feel needed. At least I don't lead people on, feeding them only a little bit - only what is absolutely necessary to keep them around for just a bit longer. Stringing them along... saving them for a rainy day, when there's nobody else there. (Why do you do that? Is it because you know that eventually everyone close will leave, so you need to have someone on the back burner, just waiting for their turn?) At least I'm secure enough in myself that I don't constantly need my ego stroked, or need someone to constantly affirm how completely awesome I am. I don't need to belittle anyone to make myself feel bigger. I don't need to have an entourage to feel like a worthwhile human being. And while I, personally, may or may not have "fucked" someone whose feelings I honestly gave a shit about on an Easter Sunday before, I certainly don't go around proffering my body to my "friends" like cough drops.

I do too write my own material!!!!

Posted on 4/15/2007 7:39:48 PM | (3) Comments

Ok, so, it has occurred to me that lately I haven't been actually writing anything.. As a matter of fact, I guess ever since I started this blog, I haven't really used it to it's full potential. Up until this point I have used this "blog" as a venue through which I might share with complete strangers various random odds and ends, funnies, and scraps I have scavenged from the far corners of the internet like a crazed bridge-dweller proffering the least-rotten peelings from the dumpster in back of the local all-you-can-eat chinese buffett to passers-by. I've only actually written one blog, and it was only an angry response to someone else's ignorant remarks. So, here I am, sitting at home alone on a Sunday night, and I've decided that this is the definitive moment in which I will truly blog for the first time. And you folks are my lucky readers. (Or unsuspecting victims, however you wanna see it...) Just think of it.. you are taking my blog virginity right now...... Congratulations.
And now, for the blogging... You are about to hear WAY more than you ever wanted to know about my personal life...

So it seems that my life has been taking some interesting turns lately.. Ever since I moved into the apartment that I'm in I've had great luck with my neighbors, and by great luck I mean that, aside from the 90-something lady that lives across the hall from me, who never comes out of her apartment, and who, in fact, I have only seen twice in the two years i've lived here (if she died in there, I wouldn't notice until it started to smell), I have had very attractive single men as my neighbors. However it never pans out quite like I'd like for it to. The first one, Scott, and I really hit it off, and he soon became what I affectionately refer to as my "part-time lover", but he is a flake. We still see eachother infrequently, but it never really became anything serious, as much as I wish it had, or would. The second one was actually dating my friend, but he was still fun to look at. However, a few months ago, a pair of college grads moved in directly above me. Both are cute, both are smart, both are a blast to hang out with. We have spent several evenings hanging out. I think I'm really starting to connect with one of them, Chris, and I think that the feeling may be mutual, but I don't have any evidence to substantiate this claim. There are just little things that lead me to believe that. Conversations we've had, time spent hanging out one-on-one after everyone else had gone to bed, the time I fell asleep in his apartment, and when I woke up, instead of going to bed, or waking me up and sending me home, he had just gone to sleep in the chair next to me. Also, some things his roommate, Doug, has said have led me to believe that there is an interest there.. for example, on one of my first visits to their apartment to hang out, as soon as I arrived Doug questioned me about my relationship status, in front of Chris.. Now let me make it clear that I'm sure, for certain reasons that I don't have the time to go into here, that Doug was not asking because he was interested himself. What his motives truly were, I'm not sure, it could have been totally innocent conversation, but it was definately not because he was interested. Also, Doug has made innuendos and comments, for example, when I mentioned what I looked for in a boyfriend (it came up in conversation as a joke), Doug (jokingly) made the statement "well, Chris is out of the question, then"... Now, why would he say that, unless it was already understood that Chris was, in fact, originally in the question? Suspicious. But, I digress.. I suppose what I'm driving at is that recently there was a monkey wrench thrown into my whole plan of seduction. Enter Tristan, Chris's female friend.. girlfriend? (If so, surely he would have mentioned her before in conversation... ? Who knows.. ) She showed up at a get together at their apartment that Chris had invited me to. It was clear from the start that she was really into him (she's very touchy-feely, etc.) however Chris didn't really act like he felt the same way about her as she clearly did about him. It appeared as though maybe they were really good friends, and she had some unrequited "thing" for him. But lately, she's been spending an awful lot of time there.. like, nights on end.. and consequently, I am not too keen on spending a whole lot of time there.. Not if she's there, anyway. She's a cool chick, and all, and I have no right to be jealous, but, it would be awkward. So, that's where I am on that, really. I don't understand men, or how to read them, and I wonder if I would just be better off to give Scott a call.

Additionally, change is a-brewin' on the carreer front, as well. I have been employed at my current job for a little over 2 years now, and I like my job. The money's not bad, and I get a GREAT apartment at a discounted rate. Plus, I work downtown, so there's a certain level of prestige. However, on Friday, I got a phone call from a friend of mine. She's actually an old work-mate from my previous job. She, and two of my other old co-workers now all work for a different company. All of them have advanced their carreers in the field. My old manager is now a District Manager, the old Assistant Manager is now a Manager, and the other leasing agent, while still technically a leasing agent, is being paid considerably more by this new company. So, they offered me a job. Seems the other leasing agent is quitting and going into another field. They offered me an ideal schedule, ideal hours (M-F 8-5 *and no timecard!!!* instead of the crazy schedule I have now) $.37 cents more on the hour than I'm making, commission structure is a little different but will probably be about the same... PLUS FREE RENT if I move into one of their apartments. This saves me about $575.00 a month, which is what I pay for my apartment now. The downside is that none of the apartments they have will measure up to the one I'm in now. I have a pretty sweet deal going here, my place is huge, has a huge patio, huge kitchen, full size washer and dryer, lake view, and is in a GREAT neighborhood. So, I have two choices... I can move to the property I'd be working at way up on 86th St. but it's a crappy apartment in a not-so-good neighborhood, and I'd lose my patio, and my washer and dryer, and my great kitchen, plus I really don't want to leave the South side - all my family and friends are down here.. and my church.. OR, they might be able to get me a place at another of their communities here on the South side, but it's just as crappy an apartment, in an even crappier neighborhood (although it does have patios, and washers and dryers, and sizeable kitchens). Also, the place I'd work is on the North side, so I'd have to drive from Greenwood to 86th street everyday... On the other hand, if I wasn't paying rent, I could afford a new car, which I am in desperate need of anyway. I just don't know what to do.. On one hand, the new job is offering all the things that my current job doesn't give me.. all the things I've been bitching about not having for 2 years, all the things I've been praying for.. on the other hand, it entails a move into the ghetto.. and out of my incredible apartment, which I have vowed that I wouldn't move out of unless it was to move into something that I own. I know you guys can't tell me what to do with my life, but I would really like some insight into this matter, 'cause currently I'm losing sleep over having to make the decision. I have a hard enough time just deciding on what to eat for lunch.

Well, thanks for listening to me, folks.. or reading me, rather. That is, if you've made it this far. I wouldn't blame you if you lost interest several paragraphs ago. I must go prepare dinner now for my offspring.. and the guys upstairs. We have this arrangement where I cook for them, and they take out my trash. It works, 'cause I'm lazy, and they're men.
:D
TTFN!
Love,
Sarah

Ignorant mom: You're not a Jew! You do not practice Jew-ism.

Teacher: When you break down racial groups' IQs statistically, different races are smarter than others. So, there's no mystery here, blacks and Latinos are at the bottom, whites and Asians are on top. Well, actually, Asians score the highest so go ahead and feel proud of yourselves.
