Friday, June 21, 2002 ( 10:38 PM ) Scarf Girl Thanks for the wave gg! *waves furiously* So it looks like Dardy has found a home for his journal/blog. It doesn't seem to be loading up at this exact moment though. Have a great weekend doing whatever you do. Scarf Girl, signing off. # ( 12:07 AM ) Scarf Girl So after 3 responses to my "guys nodding their heads at each other" topic, I've decided to post one of them: [insert email] "anyways, not all girls are sincere in their gleeful "hi"'s. haven't you ever seen a girl wave happily, and then after the other one passes, she'll hiss, "she's such a bitch." or what about the girls who just look one another up and down, size them up, and decide that the other's ass is too big or her chest is too small? isn't not always a friendly affair among girls, despite how it seems. i like how guys are just chill." [end email] Hmm.. I don't think I'm ever "fakely" enthusiastic when I see someone. I mean, I don't go around hating people so I'm often truly glad to see the random person I run into. I don't think all girls are nearly so uptight when it comes to other girls. We're not nearly so judgemental as some may believe. I mean, we like to make new friends to hang out with as much as guys do. Heheh.

When guys pass other guys on the street, they make eye contact do the head nodding thing. Now, what is up with that? I remember years a go, I was at the mall with my brother and he saw an old high school classmate and they did exactly that. They made eye contact and nodded their heads. Then I asked him about it: [made up dialog because I can't remember the actual words of our conversation] Me: What was that? What's this head nodding thing that you do? Him: Huh? What do you mean? Me: Well, why are you only nodding your head? Him: Cuz that's just what we do. We're not like girls who wave [he furiously waves his hand] and say, "hiiiiyeeee!!" [in a girly high-pitched voice]. Me: We don't do that! Well, not exactly like that. Heheh.. I just thought it was funny that guys nod their heads at each other.

Yeah yeah, I don't commute by car, so that's why the mileage is so low. Anyways, 6 weeks after I drove my little Subie out of the dealership, I got a package in the mail. Yep, it was my license plate. I had gotten home at night and saw the package. I thought to myself, "Neato, I finally have my plates." After openning the envelope and pulling out the plates, I was shocked at the seemingly "random" numbers on my plates. So you know how it goes, 1 number, 3 letters, and 3 numbers? Well, my 3 numbers were "666." Lucky, eh? I wasn't sure if I was allowed to go complain to the DMV and get me some new plates without having to pay for them. I figured I could've used the excuse of superstition. Anyways, so I recieved my registration renewal form a few weeks ago and in it, there was an application form for specialty plates. You can choose from 7 plate styles and I believe that part of the money goes to those causes. Well, now I can't really decide if I want to have a "vanity" plate on my car. I mean, I never really thought I'd get one because of the cost and it seemed kinda... "vain." Heheh. No offense to anyone. But now that I think about it, it's not so vain. It can be just kinda fun. I mean, if you really like your car, you'd get a plate for it I figure, and well, I like my car a lot, so why not? Heh, too bad my first choice idea was already taken. I guess I'll have to think up some more combinations. So my question is, would you get rid of the 666 plates if you were me?

I was watching the Noon news while eating lunch and it looks like Southwest Airlines is implementing a "Fat Policy" where if you're a big person and take up 2 seats, they're gonna charge you for 2 tickets. That is MESSED UP! Where do they get off doing that? I mean, we can't help the way we're born and if you happen to be born a bigger size, you shouldn't be punished for it. Can you say.... lawsuit? Oh yeah, just so you all know, they're going to raise the price of the first class letter stamp to 37 cents after the end of the month. Yep.. that's 3 whole cents more that it'll cost us to send out those pesky monthly bills.

Heehee. Scarf Girl, signing off. # Tuesday, June 18, 2002 ( 2:10 PM ) Scarf Girl So last week, I was eating my dinner and happened to tune into part of AFI's 100 Years 100 Passions show.

You lose half of the food to the plate! Heh heh. Scarf Girl, signing off. # Monday, June 17, 2002 ( 11:13 PM ) Scarf Girl Gosh it seems like I haven't blogged in quite some time. Well, my weekend was seemingly long as I had to wake up Saturday, Sunday, and Monday at 6:30 to basically stand up and cheer for my girls. Yep, we had a big tournament up in Sacramento. Woah, talk about hot weather! Let's see, as for the results, we came in 2nd overall (out of maybe 50 something teams?). Yep, I was pretty impressed/happy/excited/slightly disappointed. Heheh. Yeah, when you're coaching 14 year old girls you get a whole variety of feelings. They played their little hearts out and made some MAJOR comebacks. At one point, we were down 8 to 18 (25 points to win). I don't know what they did at that moment, but they started scoring all these points in a row. We ended catching up and winning 26 to 24. Talk about being on pins and needles! So we drove back to the city around 5 and decided to grab a quick/early dinner. Then when I got home, I decided to haul myself out to play some volleyball for myself at open gym. After watching all those teams compete this weekend, I was itching to play too. Heheh. Okay, until tomorrow. Scarf Girl, signing off. # |
