alright, rusty, here's 10 for you...
hmmm, 10 facts...
1) i have a lead foot, brass ovaries and a zippy little coupe...
and i shift at 5 grand, and i don't care what you think of that...
2) the strangest (and most recent) thing i have ever stolen is a 15 lbs smoked ham...
3) i am *technically* an expatriate... really i just really like the term "expatriate" because it makes me think of me, in a sexy white suit and matching fedora, smoking a cuban cigar while negotiating the sale of a great number of semi-automatic weapons in a very sweaty south american country...
but technically i am one, and really all that means is that the DMV has a whole higher level of suck for me...
4) i have two cats, and one of them is labeled as a "dangerous and combative animal" at the vet... however, with momma he is one giant pussy hahaa...
5) my favorite food is peanut butter stew, followed closely by tuna souffle sandwhiches, followed by pizza...
6) i have an entire dresser just for my underwear...
7) SWEET! the mr. and i just belched in unison, not kidding!
8) i have an aunt (paternal) that lives in an abandoned train car...
9) the last time mr. took me to a quarter book sale (a sale when a library or book store sells off extra books for like $.25 or maybe a dollar if it's new and a hardcover) i was *literally* dragged out *literally* screaming, and then held down while my two shopping carts of books were brought to me, and I WASN'T DONE, DAMNIT!!!!
he hasn't taken me to a book sale since, the wanker...
10) i am permanently banned from a family eatery in lower new york that shall remain nameless...
but i am BANNED.FOR.LIFE.
sheesh, and what i did wasn't even *that* bad...

That's why I don't go to quarter book sales...
Not enough storage space, let alone trunk space...
And I'm already in the position of not being able to ever read all the books on my to-do list that I own, let alone the books I still manage to get.

I have a feeling that ...
... when the manager said, "I'm sorry, ma'am, but I'll have to ask you to leave and never return,", s/he wasn't apologizing...
no, no, the apology was a seperate matter...
this was also the incident that resulted in my best buddy refusing to come with me to eateries for about 2 months straight...
i am a "speed" reader... storage space is my issue
i mean, i read at what *i* consider a normal pace...
i remember in second grade they tested me to see if i was retaining anything i read, since i was breezing through so fast...
(i was)
i also steal people's "unwanted" college texts...
(i mean, if i don't ask them if they want it, i assume they don't and therefore it is ok for said text to "fall" into my knapsack)

Most Americans think of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as going hand in hand. But the more appropriate analogy is ball and chain. The Bill of Rights was a restraint imposed on the new federal government to keep it from running out of control. [...] [W]hile the Constitution is the cornerstone of our nation's commitment to principles of representative government and majority rule, the Bill of Rights is a decidedly antimajoritarian document. In the Bill of Rights, the Framers built a wall around certain fundamental individual freedoms, forever limiting the majority's ability to intrude upon them.

I don't know if my life would be better,
or worse if I were a speed reader.

actually, i find that my desire to read...
comes close enough with what i *can* read in any given day...
it's not a bad situation... i mean, if i decide (today) to re-read the mr.'s death and afterlife college text, i am fairly certain i could get it all done today, and that's all i really feel like reading right now...
currently my prize possession and subject of interest is this old school cookbook, "The Meat Cookbook", which has colour pictures and recipes and from that bygone era where it was considered a good idea to add MSG to food...
it's so great, it's like "ok, add parsley, salt, pepper, and a dash of MSG, and you will have a succulent crown rack of lamb to eat."...
alright, rusty, here's 10 for you...
