I'm just gonna display some facts of the road that seem to be ignored in this city. This is more or less an angry rant...
PEDESTRIANS
-If you wish to cross a crosswalk stand at the curb and wait for the drivers to acknowledge you. And if you wish to cross, then don't stand 4 feet away from the curb and wait for traffic to acknowledge you. This confuses drivers and is generally quite annoying.
-If you are going to cross at an intersection with the flashing green lights then do not cross if the lights are red. This is more often then not the only time a driver will be able to exit that road. If it's all clear then you're good to go. But be courteous. Nothing more annoying then getting an opportunity to get out of the intersection but a slew of ignorant pedestrians block your path.
-If you are waiting for the light to change please do not stand in the street. Even if it's in the gutter you are still at risk of getting hit by vehicles.
-If you wish to jaywalk, don't assume that every lane of traffic will stop for you. Take caution and take into account that what you are doing is illegal and that if drivers get mad at you, they have a right to.
-If a car is trying to get out of an alleyway and onto a busy road where a parking lane obstructs their view then try and walk behind the vehicle if they block off your path. sure it's annoying having a car block the road, but in certain alleyway exits it's impossible to get out of the alleway safely without causing this blockage. In my opinion, this is acceptable as it needs to be done.
CYCLISTS
-If you wish to cycle in a driving lane then do a reasonable speed. If you're struggling to get up a hill and there is a bike lane next to you, use the bike lane. Also, if you wish to bike in traffic lanes then you must respect the basic rules of car traffic. That means you shouldn't be passing vehicles in the same lane as them. Or failing to use signals. Or traveling into oncoming traffic. Or running red lights or going through pedestrian cross walks while people walk in front of you.
-If you wish to cycle on the roads, please wear a helmet. It is incredibly traumatic to see the effects of a head injury caused by vehicles and cyclists meeting. Especially when it could have been prevented.
-If you bike at night on the roads please make sure your bicycle and yourself are visible to the rest of the people on the road. That means having reflectors on the front and back of your vehicle and preferably a light on the front and back as well. I've seen more then a dozen cyclists get mad because they were nearly hit by a car that could not see them because of their lack of lights.
-Do not ride on sidewalks if they are busy or you plan to go fast. This is one of the biggest durps of cycling.
-If you are riding along the curb and you come up to an intersection where cars are turning right, you should go on the left of those cars so they can safely turn without hitting you. Again this applies to the rules of traffic, where if you were treating your bike as a vehicle, you would not be legally able to pass that car in the same lane.
DRIVERS
-If you are making a left turn at a busy intersection where there is pedestrian traffic blocking your turn, don't turn into oncoming traffic and expect the pedestrians to move or wait until they have cleared. You become a sitting duck for oncoming traffic and are seen as an arrogant asshole from the pedestrians point of view.
-If you have just parked along a busy road, look out your mirror for traffic before swinging open your door.
-If you want to make a lane change or get out of a parrellel park, turn on your signal light. Even if there isn't room to make the lane change or time to get out of the spot this will let drivers know that you wish to exit or change lanes and if they are courteous driver they will let you in. Also, if you are getting out of a parellel parking spot and you do not have your signal light on then do not expect drivers to yield or give to shits about you. and if you have it on and you are not ready to leave, then shut that shit off.
-If you see people entering a vehicle in a parallel parking spot and you wish to take their space, do not wait behind them until they leave. You stall traffic, and you cause an inconvenience for the driver who now has to hurry up and get out of the spot to let your impatient ass in. If there is no spots, then keep on going until you see that signal light come on. and if the prick of a driver has that light on and isn't ready to get out of the spot, then honk at him until he shuts it off or gets out of the spot, since you are doing them a convenience by blocking traffic for them.
-If you are looking for a certain destination and are having troubles finding it, then pull over and find it on foot. If you stop at every block and have your eyes constantly on the sidewalk you have a very good chance of hitting something.
-In this city, and most major cities there are signs in some major intersections that have times setup where you cannot turn, or certain vehicles cannot go down certain roads. Obey these signs, as they are 100% properly labelled for the infrastructure of traffic to abide by.
-If you see a lane closure up ahead and you are in the lane that is open, don't change lanes and speed up to the end of the lane then get back in your old lane 3 cars ahead. If you do this, you are an asshole and you might be part of the cause of why some drivers are not very generous towards others.
-Respect buses and big trucks. big trucks are always going to be commercial vehicles and we all depend on them to get our goods and services to the places where they are sold. So be courteous if you see a bus trying to get into your lane, or a dump truck, or a moving van. As these vehicles have a disadvantage because they are bigger and much more difficult to drive then your econoshitbox. But if it's a motorhome, then they can fuck themselves for driving in an urban setting with such an impractical vehicle.
-Big rigs need large spaces to make sharp turns. So if you see a large truck turning and it needs you to move in order to safely turn, or your path is blocked because of this trucks turn, then be courteous and if you have the space, let them through. You have no idea how difficult it is to turn a big rig on a 2 lane grid road without hitting the curbs, and waiting for everything to be clear can sometimes be next to impossible.
-If you are towing something, make sure it's lights work before heading out on the highway... And make sure everything is SAFELY latched down.
-Don't speed in schoolzones while school in session. This is a pretty basic rule, yet it gets violated by almost everyone. young human beings don't have the understandings of us adults. They sometimes get carried away in their activities or they do not know how to judge the speeds of vehicles, or they like to fuck with drivers and run across the road while playing some crazy daredevil game....don't trust them.
-Slow down in construction zones as well. Sometimes the construction companies can only shut down so much space of the road, which leaves them very little room to work in. And they need to concentrate on their job before they concentrate on the traffic.
-If you are at a busy intersection and the light is red and you wish to turn right, do not pass the bold white line until pedestrian traffic is ENTIRELY gone. If you move up after the pedestrians beside you leave then you still have to wait for the ones coming from the other side of the road. These people probably deserve some of the biggest fuck you's from pedestrians, especially ones with strollers.
-If you are turning right at an intersection and there is an empty lane and you are driving a vehicle small enough to make that turn in that lane THEN GET IN THAT LANE. If you are still in the lane beside that lane or in the middle of both then you are an asshole and you deserve to be rear ended or your mirror ripped off.
-If you are driving down a busy grid road system where there is not a lot of turning lanes then it is fastest to stay in the middle lane and switch lanes one or two blocks from your destined turn. If you wish to stay in the right lane or the left lane and you switch lanes every time someone is turning then switch back into that lane and continue on for another 20 blocks... Then you're an asshole....
-If you do end up stuck behind one of these cars turning and you wish to change lanes make sure it's safe. Aggressive driving causes accidents, and if you're just gonna switch back into that lane to continue on then you're an asshole...
-If you are driving in a parking lot then follow the arrows. in almost every parking lot there is a one way direction built into the infrastructure of the parking lot. That means, it will work fluently if everyone obeys the one way rule. but if you disobey that and block the entire road or go down the wrong way, then you're an asshole.

Street racing idea
Did a quick beatsheet for this on 4chan. might as well keep it because it has potential. I'll edit it later for a inktip pitch.
-Teenaged gear head, works at a shop for a low wage, lives with mom and dad who both barely slip by, drives a shitty civic and he's too embarrassed to race it. He has some gearhead friends who don't race and are specifically enthusiasts and a girlfriend who he is having a baby with.
-Dad dies and teenager inherits dads weekend car(Insert somewhat expensive tuner here, NSX??)
-while cruising along one day he gets in a race with a gang member, teenager wins and the gang member asks if he races elsewhere. He then invites him to a race in a construction site.
-Teenager races and wins like a mutherfucker. Gang member almost pay up but cops interupt, everyone scatters.
-Next day teenager goes to gang member to see about the winnings, nearly gets his ass shot by other gang members, the one he races stops the violence and gives him the race and ask if he would like to work for their garage. Teenager accepts and starts working for their hardcore illegally owned and operated garage where they chop cars and rice out everything from crx's to bentley's.
-Teenager starts to ignore his new born baby, his friends, and his mom. Eventually ends up living with the gangsters. He continues to race and win like a champ, he gets a reputation for being an asshole driver so a rival gang racer starts to tail him after his work and while on the highway, purposely crashes into him and tells him to leave town.
-teenager gets scared and tells gangsters what happen, they light the rival gangster racers car on fire as payback.
-Teenager gets a new better tuner(gt-r?) But it's stolen. Teenager ends up getting pulled over and arrested.
-Teenager is given an ultimatum with police, be a rat or do time. Teenager decides to do time. Goes to jail for a year, girlfriend leaves him, friends abandon him, mother gives up on him.
-Once released he goes back to the gang to continue racing. He races like shit and blames it on the fact that he should lay low. The gangsters get suspicious that he might have ratted so they test him by driving with him into oncoming traffic. He says he doesn't wanna get caught again, but he doesn't wanna give up the street racing ways. The gangsters give him some time on the track and he gets progressively better. He then goes back to racing and wins.
-police break into his house again and confiscate his car and bargain with him and open his eyes that the gangster life isn't for him. He tells the cops to leave and that they don't have anything on him.
-The next day the teenager goes to his girlfriend and asks if he gave up everything would he take him back, she is unsure, but his friends tell him that it's the best idea to get out of the gangster world.
-That night he goes on a mission as a driver with the gangster leader, while on the mission the teenager finds out that he is going to get assassinated because of police suspicion and that he might be a rat. The teenager gets in a chase with the gangsters, in the end he kills the main gangster but gets shot himself.
-After all of the legal stuff is out of the way and the wound has healed the teenager goes back to being a grease monkey, driving his shitty honda and loving his wife and mother.
-Teenaged gear head, works at a shop for a low wage, lives with mom and dad who both barely slip by, drives a shitty civic and he's too embarrassed to race it. He has some gearhead friends who don't race and are specifically enthusiasts and a girlfriend who he is having a baby with.

Low Level(characters)
I randomly started writing this script because I wanted to put a bunch of awesome long takes in one movie, so the first two scenes are like 3 pages long each and both feature epicnessity. I might aswell do a beat sheet or something because this seems like a really wacky and cool idea.
CHARACTERS
Tom Wilson-A modern samurai who also deals with explosives and is a talented driver. He prefers surviving off nature instead of living as part of society. He kidnapped Angelina after years of being in love with her, he is going to die to protect her. Tom used to be a body guard for Oniks, but he's turned sides.
ONIKS-This is the main bad guy, he's a ruthless not giving a fuck kingpin drug dealer. He's looking for Kevin who he was told kidnapped his daughter. If someone calls him by his first name he snaps. He was also taking advantage of his daughter for his own profit after she became a talented musician and artist.
Kevin-another of the bad guys. He was setup by Tom because he tried to rape Angelina when she was younger. Kevin is a drug grower with two adopted incredibly violent kids. He's an incredibly thin lazy hippy.
Angelina-A very talented artist and musician who wanted to get away from it all, she's loved Tom for a very long time and wants to live with him forever. Her father is very abusive to her and Kevin once tried to rape her but Tom saved him.
Xander Conners-Adopted son of Kevin. He's an ecentric trigger happy uber insane russian. He and his brother were both bodyguards with Tom. They took a massive amount of money to help Tom steal a painting from Oniks. He has a sweat spot for cats and he spends money like a rock star.
Sir Oliver-Brother of Xander and adopted son of Kevin. He's just as trigger happy as his brother but he prefers making his victims suffer instead of his brothers rash decisions. He's the brighter of the two, although they are both incredibly stupid and terrible destructive.
These are the main characters so far.. I'm tired so I'll leave it on that and contemplate this idea further. But the simple premise is that Oniks is on the desperate search for Sir Oliver and Xander who he was told kidnapped his daughter, but to find them he must find Kevin, after finding all of them together he kills Kevin then teams up with Xander and Sir Oliver to find Tom and kill him and save Angelina, but what Oniks is really after is an incredibly expensive painting she made.
-Oniks goes to a greasy hotel and tries to find out where Kevin is by asking his crackhead wife. The wife refuses to answer and oniks kills her and drives off.
-Tom and Angelina are settling into their new surroundings, a massive log cabin. Tom destroys all of the electronics and slices a large painting made by angelina. Tom guarantees her safety and tells her she can live without having to worry about her father or the world hassling her. She is happy to be an artist without boundaries.
-Xander and Oliver are crashing their vehicles on a farm. They clearly have a large amount of money and they aren't shy with spending it. Kevin is inside the house and he is having sex with a large amount of women, they're living the dream life.
-Oniks goes back to his mansion and rests. The next morning he packs up a suitcase and lights the house on fire. He goes to his accountants house, Travis. A somewhat honest banker who handles Oniks financial investments. Travis has a wife and kids who are currently away. Oniks explains the situation, that he sold a very valuable painting and the money along with the painting were stolen along with his daughter. Oniks has decided to claim the insurance on his house in order to make up the money. Travis settles him down and makes him realize that he will probably be investigated by the IRA because he doesn't do his taxes because he's a gangster. Oniks then goes on a rampage and ends up leaving the house in a fit of fury, but before he does he tells Travis to track down Kevin. Travis tells Oniks that he should try searching the streets, since Kevin is a pretty candid drug and prostitute client.
-Oniks goes to the street, he sees Kevin picking up a prostitute and tails him. But while tailing him Oniks is cut off by a women on her phone. Pissed off, Oniks kills the women and crashes into her car. Kevin gets spooked and runs away. Oniks freaks out and takes the dead women out of the car and beats her violently.
-Tom and Angelina discuss there future while picking vegetables from the garden. Eventually Angelina starts to realize that she does not have some of the liberties she once enjoyed, like seeing her friends, and letting the world seeing her paintings. But she continues to love Tom for his grace and wisdom and saving her from her tyrant father.
(TO BE CONTINUED) This is gettin pretty wacky I must say

Stick puck
I'm gonna put it on paper once and for all. And by paper i mean the internet.
Teams I cheer for(In order)
Rangers-Been a fan since I started paying attention to hockey in 99.
Jets-My dad's old favorite team. Really glad to have a prairie team
Canucks-Mostly because I live in Vancouver
Bruins-Bourque is one of my favourite players, same with Savard. Really upset he didn't get to hoist a cup.
Teams that I appreciate(In order of apreciation)
Carolina-I was a bandwagoner when they made that 02 cup run. Paid close attention to them since.
Toronto-an original 6 team that I think is making a comeback.
Montreal-A constant contender forever.
Edmonton-From edmonton, also a huge messier and hemsky fan.
Aneheim-They have a lot of power for a young hockey team. Definitely the best teams at scouting and drafting.
LA-They've been in the league for a long time and I think they have finally created a team capable of getting to the cup.
Sharks-Ever since that game last year where Boyle scored on his own net I've been watching them. i like Pavelski and I've always thought nabakov was overrated. I knew heatley or marleau was going to be gone after the playoffs. Havlat probably isn't the best replacement with his history of injuries.
St.Louis-I feel bad for the Blues. 40 some odd years and they have done fuck all. Had a lot of power when they won that president trophy. and the oates-hull line will forever be remembered.
Minesota-I hate Colorado. And It was godly when they got kicked out by these cats. I respect these guys because the fans are 100% with the team through thickness and thin. Heatley will do great things with them
Teams I could care less about
Capitals-I do like Ovechkin for his talent, but this team seriously lacks depth.
Columbus-Glad to see Nash with a good linemate, but they will still suck.
Ottawa-Shit fans are shit. Had a stellar team in the 2000's, but now they got a long way to go to rebuild.
Florida-Why does this team exist?
Phoenix-Doan is awesome, but besides that they should relocate...
Dallas-I think that lethonen signing last year was great. Same with souray this season. I think he's gonna redeem himself with michalek.
Nashville-Great defensive team makes for boring ass hockey.
Tampa-Too many stars for one team, if Richards signed with them, they would be in the hate section.
Buffalo-I think they've been a cup contending team for the last 15 years with no outstanding talent. I think a lot of it comes from the fans and coaches. I think they're gonna get a cup within the next 10 years.
FUCK THESE GUYS
New Jersey-Boring to watch, fuck brodeur, fuck kovalchuk. Only awesome things to come from the devils is Scott Stevens and his kill shots.
Phillie-Bryzgalov will probably fail along with Jagr. Never liked these fucks, except for pronger and Briere, both are playoff heros.
Pittsburgh-Shit fans are shit. how can a team with so many star players in it's past be so up and down with attendance? Crosby is a bitch aswell. Malkin could be a franchise player for any other team, but nop.
Chicago-Insignificant for like 20 years. And painful van-chi rivalries are always annoying.
NYI-Pansy assholes with terribad management. Even with all this young talent they're still a lemon.
Detroit-I mostly hate them because they've been such a good team for such a long time with no major dips in consistency. It's fearful to see them in the playoffs.
Colorado-Laughable last season, trading their most significant players away for nothing the not signing fleishcmann.. Varlamov and giguire might do well for them though. But they'll still miss the playoffs.
Calgary-I like Kipper and Iggy, but I don't think either of them will get a well rounded team together for a long long time... Fuck em.

100 years on the run
Just finished Two Lane Blacktop and realized I love stories about drifters. I've already written 2 scripts with drifters as main characters. So i think i might have found my writers trademark. Might as well do another one. The basic premise of this story is of a guy born in 1890 and dies in 1990.
It starts out with a man being born on some farm in the west. This man grows up being secluded from the rest of the world while his father preaches to him about all the badness surrounding them. When he turns 12 he sets out on night to escape his fathers preaching and to see the world. But his first experience traumatizes him as he kills an outlaw and saves an old man. He goes on the run with the oldman and together they explore the west until the old man dies and the old west dies. Depressed in the turn of the century(1910) he goes to war and ends up going awal while in europe and travels around avoiding officials until he catches a ship back to america after realizing there is nothing in europe for him.
When he gets back to america he tries to start a new life by having a family. He gets a job in a factory, meets a girl and makes a best friend. But shortly after marrying her and knocking her up his friend takes his own life after the depression hits. The drifter then realizes that he cannot deal with having attachment with anyone so he flees on horseback to find himself in the desert. He ends up meeting the family of the man he killed a long time ago and he apologizes to them. Then in the late 30's he rides on horseback to all 4 corners of the state. but he starts to go mad when he starts to realize all the prophecies that his father preached so long ago are starting to come true and his money is starting to run out. So he goes to a bank and tries to rob it, but he gets caught and kills a police officer. He goes to jail for 20 years. While in jail he tells all of his regrets to his other inmates and they all feel inspired by his tales. During his tenure he regains sense of community and finally starts to have friends again, meeting another old western chap who robbed the same bank as him 20 years prior. But they send him to the chair and our drifter begins to understand that he must accept that friends and family will die, so once he is released he seeks out his family. His wife has remarried and is unsympathetic to his cause, but she tells him to find there son, who set off on an adventure similar to his, maybe with his new found sensibility he can change his sons life before it goes down the drain.
He sets out on the road, travelling until the late 60's before finding his son within the hippie clan. He then goes on the road with his son until they get in a car accident and his son is killed and he is disabled. Again depressed and down, the drifter stays in a hospital for awhile where a young female nurse gains interest in him. Through the 70's he writes books about his tales and one of them was made into a movie while he stayed nestled in the forest living comfortably away from society, the nurse visits him, but he wards her off knowing that he can't afford another let down. She reads one of his books and finds that it lacks realistic characters, yet the story is rich. She leaves him alone until the late 80's where he realizes his days are coming to an end, so he goes on the road one last time to explore all of the places he has been over the days, and visiting the graves of his friends and family lost. He dies at the same place he was born.
This seems like it would be an incredibly long epic... Maybe a novel idea. I'll set out on it someday.
It starts out with a man being born on some farm in the west. This man grows up being secluded from the rest of the world while his father preaches to him about all the badness surrounding them. When he turns 12 he sets out on night to escape his fathers preaching and to see the world. But his first experience traumatizes him as he kills an outlaw and saves an old man. He goes on the run with the oldman and together they explore the west until the old man dies and the old west dies. Depressed in the turn of the century(1910) he goes to war and ends up going awal while in europe and travels around avoiding officials until he catches a ship back to america after realizing there is nothing in europe for him.
When he gets back to america he tries to start a new life by having a family. He gets a job in a factory, meets a girl and makes a best friend. But shortly after marrying her and knocking her up his friend takes his own life after the depression hits. The drifter then realizes that he cannot deal with having attachment with anyone so he flees on horseback to find himself in the desert. He ends up meeting the family of the man he killed a long time ago and he apologizes to them. Then in the late 30's he rides on horseback to all 4 corners of the state. but he starts to go mad when he starts to realize all the prophecies that his father preached so long ago are starting to come true and his money is starting to run out. So he goes to a bank and tries to rob it, but he gets caught and kills a police officer. He goes to jail for 20 years. While in jail he tells all of his regrets to his other inmates and they all feel inspired by his tales. During his tenure he regains sense of community and finally starts to have friends again, meeting another old western chap who robbed the same bank as him 20 years prior. But they send him to the chair and our drifter begins to understand that he must accept that friends and family will die, so once he is released he seeks out his family.

Best KD ever
This is a story of my adventure to get kd and cook it. Enjoy.
so, i got my ipod, my car keys, and my phone, which was charging. Headed out to my car, started it up. put on my ipod, chose an awesome song. and got on my way to shoppers drug mart on davie, which Is the only place i know of that sells milk at midnight.
I get to fourth avenue, and while trying to turn, some asshole in the oncoming lane stops in the intersection as if he's going to turn, but his flashers aren't on. So I get pissed off and do a burnout and do my left turn onto 4th and start speeding. I then realize how silly speeding is, since it might jeopardize my kd mission. So i slow down, and it was good timing because i end up at a red light beside an undercover cop. I slowly make my way to burrard street. I then get on burrard and cross the bridge. some asshole in a bmw driving about 40 kmh faster then me flies past me and cuts me off and gets in the furthest lane and passes some other people... I bet he was drunk. whatevs. So i get to Burrard and davie and wait at the lights. these two couples cross the street, both highly intoxicated. right infront of my car one of the couples start drunkenly making out. The light changes and i ruin their romantic moment by reving my engine. They stop kissing and laugh, they stumble off the street and i turn onto davie and end up at my destination. When I'm at my destination, I quickly went for the milk, then the kd, then I seen some cookies on sale and got those. I then adventured over to the ice cream, but it was too rich for my blood. Then the shoppers drug mart chips were on sale so i bought two of those.
I used to go to this shoppers a lot when i used to live downtown. And when i went to the till the cashier knew me from an interesting conversation we had a long ass time ago about the movie Fight Club. We make idle chit chat and notices my absurb amount of kd(3 boxes, all of which were the high class pricey type) and I make a comment that I'm in no mood to cook my planned meal at such an hour, and kd seems like the best option. She laughs, I should have gotten her number, she's rather cute, and I think she likes me, she remembered our conversation from a year and a half ago, that definitely means something.
But anyways. While heading out. I hear a shitload of sirens. I decide not to wait to drive on davie, so I go through the back alleys to get to burrard. While crossing thurlow i looked down to see 2 ambulances and a couple cop cars outside of oasis nightclub, i assumed somebody got fucked up, and i was right.. since a buddy of mine told me when I got home that somebody OD'd at the club. So I drove back home, it was extremely quiet, except for this obnoxious bmxer who thought he could bike across the road while the only car on the road is close to him...But after that It was clear sailing.I got home, and I was exmtrely excited to make my Kraft dinner happen. I started making my kraft dinner, heating up the water, sprinkling in some salt. I dumped the kd in the water. Then I went to the bathroom, while going to the bathroom, my roomate asked where i went last week. I explained my alberta situation to him, and he understood the situation and felt for me about the bullshit bus ride thing.
I get to the washroom, get rid of unneeded nutrients, then while washing my hands, the soap flies away from me and falls in the toilet, which was pretty spectacular... I took it out and washed it out, luckily the toilet water had changed. So, I wash my hands and go downstairs to the kitchen and start working on my meal, i gather the milk and butter and a strainer and a bowl.. The kd is cooking, so I wait beside it and whistle the Song of Time from Legend Of Zelda. Then out of nowhere, 3 of my roomates start raiding the kitchen and cooking things. I get a bit flustered, so i try and act calm and cool.. I don't like cooking around people, i always feel like they will criticize my cooking strategies. anyways, the kd starts to boil, and i take some out to test it and it's the perfect texture. so i strain it, and mix it all together. 1/3 milk, and half a spoonful of butter and the kd mix.
I stir it until the powder is gone and all of the macaroni is golden. I then put it into my other bowl, i clean both of my dishes, because I'm respectable when it comes to dishes being done.
I then put some black pepper in one of those awesome pepper churning thingers(citation needed) on my KD. i mix the kd up, then put on some more.. i want every macaroni piece to have some pepper on it. I finally accomplish my goal, and finally get to eating my masterpiece.
The first bite was breath taking. It's as if I was eating at a fine dining resteraunt reserved for gods and jewish people. The second bite was even better. This one was a little bit more peppery, but oh man... It was perfect. Halfway through the meal I took in too much and started choking.. So I took a break from my kd to relax, and rest from the nonstop orgasmic meal. I then coughed, and out comes the macaroni that made me choke... I then finished my bowl, and stood their exhausted, and praised my meal to my roomates. I offered the last peice of macaroni to my roomate. but he was clearly not worthy, since he chose to make some stupid chicken burrito from scratch..
I then washed my dish, got some milk in my classic "Love brings rainbows cup" and got me some cookies, settled down, and started telling my epic tale.
