Everyone just take a minute to observe this little sign-thingy. "Share if you do not use: crack, heroin, meth or cocaine." Man, glad they didn't put any other major drugs. I would've been screwed if they mentioned roofies, LSD or any anabolics (*phew*). Additionally, it goes on to mention that if you share this post, "this will prove that marijuana is not a gateway drug." Now I know a ton of people who smoke marijuana - it's becoming a more acceptable practice as the world turns. The thing is, I personally know a lot of educated pot-heads. If a single one of them ever showed me something like the post above and somehow truly believed in it, I would be forced to assault said person. I see the post as a major step back in acknowledging education and responsible use of marijuana. The only damn thing that the post "proves" is that people probably aren't going to admit if they use crack, meth, heroin or cocaine. It has absolutely nothing to do with marijuana use whatsoever. So to those of you who smoke marijuana, please don't let the people who make those kinds of posts be the leaders of a legalization movement.
Life is becoming interesting. I am officially a student at the local community college and will be starting in January. In the meantime, I have to brush up on my signing A LOT. It's a nicely sized and confusing campus. One thing I like about it is that it assigns numbers to the buildings instead of unnecessary and long names. For example, most of my classes will take place in building 9, not "John Steven Franklin Jehosifat McDillybar and Janice his wife Memorial Hall of Wonders" so that's a plus. Highlight of the trip there (other than going around the visitor parking area like 7 times before getting into it) was going to the financial aid office and having a guy tell me that I would be better off getting a job with my masters and bachelors degrees than going back to school for something else. He was concerned about me being in debt my whole life. I just kinda laughed aloud and said something along the lines of "yeah it would be nice if I could do that." Well thanks a ton sir - you know I never thought that getting a job would probably be better for me than not doing it. Thank you - you've truly changed my life.
There was this sink at the Mexican restaurant the other day. I mean, I'm sure it's not the first time it was there but anyways - I was perplexed when I went to wash my hands. I pushed down the thing in the middle of the bigger bowl, and ended up closing the drain. So after I pressed it up and down a few more times, I explored the upper panel. The water just kinda falls out after you move the handle one direction or another. Doesn't it look festive though?!
These were the costumes that Jared and I wore for the party. Notice the shackles reaching our forearms. They may not have been made for hands - or at least not for hands of people without elephantitis.
