He likes to observe that you can pretty much pick the weather you want, simply by picking your altitude.

Says that from where he is, you can drive an hour, and you can go surfing, year round. (You'll need a wet suit, because the water is cold. But it's certainly do-able.) Drive an hour in the opposite direction, and you can go snow skiing or snowboarding, year round. (On Mt. Hood.)

Portland is one of the coolest cities I've ever been to. We lived in Seattle for a little over 2 years, but we actually would drive 90 minutes down I-5 and spend more time in Portland than downtown Seattle.

Have you ever been there? Portland is suuuuuch a cool place. :)

On Friday afternoon I used an ATM at a bank, it was the kind that sucks in the card instead of letting you just swipe it. Maybe 10 minutes later I realized I didn't have my card. I go back to the ATM and it's gone, so I go in the bank to ask, and sure enough, somebody found it and thankfully turned it in.

That's when the teller says she's not allowed to give it back to me, since my account is with a different bank. I can't tell you how infuriating it is to be looking at a piece of your own property, with your name right on it, and have somebody tell you that you can't have it. If a person on the street was holding my card and refused to give it back to me, I'm pretty sure they would qualify as a thief.

When I got my smartphone and uploaded all my contacts, I had tons of new contacts- it uploaded everyone on facebook who had a phone number in their profile, so now I have the phone number of tons of people I haven't talked to or seen in years. It also gives me their birthdays and email addresses, if those are on their profile.

Exactly, I think you'd have to be a "the facebook" original to fully understand. lol

Interesting, that is something I did not know. Even so, she and I have never texted each other before. We've talked in person before, but that's it. ANYWAY, not a big deal at all. I was just curious to find out who it was and I did.

Mine phone does the same thing. But if you turn off the Facebook Contacts sync, it won't show up anymore.

I have a ten page rough draft due tomorrow and an exam in another class. I was tryin to get my regular homework done, so I started it this morning and then when I got home from class. The book is stupid, boring, and took me forever to read. 150 pages in and 2 hours later I found out I was reading the wrong book.

So aggravated. Looks like I'm gonna be up a little late tonight.

I considered it haha thank God it's only a rough draft though, thinking about only writing 8 pages, I've got about 4 now. Sigh. I can't pull an all nighter, I'll be a zombie tomorrow.

Carbon dating is cool.

Wow I'm not the only one that procrastinates

Because who likes doing things several days before they're due :ols:
