It's so humid in this apartment, I feel like ... I feel like ... I don't know what I feel like, but it's icky.

Same. My school lacks air conditioning and has about 3000+ students in it. I felt sick and tired from the humidity. Blegh.  - _ -

Leaving the grocery store, I sat in traffic behind a pretty girl with very-unnaturally-pink
hair (like cotton-candy pink, the confection, not the Shadowboxer) in a VW Jetta.....

Rear-view-mirror-hanger: "I Jesus"

Bumper-sticker-magnet: "Support Lap Dancing"

These things are by no means mutually exclusive, but you don't typically see them

That's quite a combination right there.

I was behind a guy while driving today with a confederate flag bumper sticker (on his window, of course). I should point out that the truck he was driving was beat up and dirty and he failed to use any blinker when turning. And the fact he illegally passed a bunch of people just to get around them.

...I love living in Maine.

It would have been even more awesome if she'd combined them into one, e.g..."Jesus s Lap Dancing"

So after AFP posted the Vegemite song (and I watched the video of the performance), I developed a strong curiosity about Vegemite. I don't know what it was, but I was extremely drawn to it, even though I was utterly repulsed at the same time. I made a pact with a friend to find it and try it (to which I told him that if I threw up, he'd have to eat the entire bottle). My friend from Novia Scotia told me to spread it lightly on toast or something, but I didn't listen. Today, my friend Kevin and I went on the hunt for it. We went to Stop & Shop, Walbaums, and Walmart (nobody knew what it was, which made me upset). Eventually, my friend Jenna suggested we went to Whole Foods with our friend Stacey, and low and behold: in the ingredients section were several bottles of Marmite. Buying it, we rushed back to my house (after a quick stop at Friendly's for my mom) and pulled a spoon out of the drawer. Of course, we smelled it first, and almost threw up at the rancid stench of it. Stacey ate a bit first, then Kevin, and soon after, I shoved the tiny bit in my melt.

I screamed with disgust and shoved a waffle fry in my mouth (very unhelpful). Running to the bathroom, I gagged everything out and spent the next five minutes brushing my teeth. I was crying with my head in the sink, terrified about two things: one) how anything legal can taste that atrocious and two) the fact that the taste wouldn't come out for anything. Eventually, I went back into the kitchen, feeling terrible, and downed a glass of water and some G2. I still feel awful, and I've thrown up in my mouth about three times. I'm praying I'm not allergic and anything in it and get sent to the hospital.  :'(

Guys, even if you're stubborn/dumb like me: DO NOT EVER TRY MARMITE/VEGEMITE. IT'S NOT WORTH THE  5.34 YOU SPEND ON IT.
and the worst part of it all was that Stacey LIKED IT. She took it home. ; ___ ;

The return address labels that came with my graduation announcements have the wrong address on them, but they're too cool to not use. I considered using them and writing the right address on the back of the envelope, but I wonder how much confusion that would cause. Haha.

Have I told this story before?  (An entirely true story, by the way.)

I used to manage the museum shop at The Museum & White House of the Confederacy (www.moc.org),
and among my duties was taking/filling mail-phone-internet orders...  One morning, the phone rang, and
the guy on the other end told me in the thickest Bah-stahn accent ever that he'd been involved in a very
minor traffic accident, and needed to replace a damaged decal on the back of his vehicle.  He said, in just
exactly these words, that he needed "a stahs en bahs fa ma cah"....   (If you either don't speak Bostonese,
or just can't decipher my spelling of it, that's a "Stars & Bars for my car")....

(...and no, the Stars & Bars is not the red-flag-with-blue-St.Andrews-cross flag most people associate
with the Confederate States.  It was the first national flag of the CSA.)

That is because she never had to taste "geléia de mocotó" (curd made with cow shin,  with beans stewed, that liquid inside the bones,  cinammon).  seriously, there used to be an advertisement on the tv from a brand. one day I told my mother I wanted it. she said:
"you dont"
me: why?
she: is made of cow bones and beans.
me: ewwww!! you are right.

(i never liked beans. neither cow bones, of course)

Oh you definitely, definitely should have listened to your friend and had only a small amount on toast. Never eat it off a spoon, and never eat on anything other than toast! Also Vegemite is absolutely disgusting. Marmite is much better. And yes, there is a difference. I absolutely love marmite, but hate vegemite.

I would like to thank everyone who gave me the nickname marmite (you know who you guys are), because everytime I see that word now, and think of it as me, it makes me laugh like mad (and mostly confused too, but it's funny). ;D

No.
I am by no means a fan of vegemite, but I can tolerate it. I wanted nothing more than to kill myself, last time I tasted marmite.
It's like...it's slimier. And runnier. There is no upside to slimier and runnier.
I am declaring a war on marmite.

Oh my gosh, I want to try this marmite/vegemite thing now. I have a strong stomach, I can pretty much keep anything I put in my mouth down, even when it comes to mixing dairy with acidic foods. Once I had french fries and vinegar with a glass of coconut milk.
