Brr, Todd’s apartment is never very warm, and anytime I turn up the heat, the Heat Nazi (a.k.a. Todd) runs back in here, exclaims about high electric bills, and chucks a sweater at me. Or so I would like: he never actually chucks sweaters at me, but he always turns down the heat. It’s a hard life.

Bentley and I are going dancing tonight, hopefully. You never know, because our main instructor is going through chemotherapy and our secondary instructor tends to be late. He never showed up last week, so the few people that had arrived left. That’s another thing: the other members are bums. We’re supposed to start at 7, so Bentley and I get there promptly at 6:55, then no one strolls in till 7:15. Crikey, jerks, get on it! I want to be twirled around to music! After dancing, he, Todd, and I are going for dinner somewhere cheap and quick. Haha, I said ‘cheap and easy’ the other day at work in reference to dining and got coworkers all concerned about how that would be possible, and how they’d not like to eat anything that’s ‘easy’. Pff, burgers are the easiest food around to eat, if you don’t mind their innards oozing out; those coworkers just have the wrong connotation.

I’m going to Todd’s house this weekend for Brent’s birthday, which means I’m getting some turkey, my friends. I never get turkey at my own home because my family gets sick of leftovers being around a week later. Todd’s family, however, is all over that turkey stuff, and there just aren’t any leftovers a week later. Ooh, and homemade rolls, which disappear by the next day.

I can’t argue about subjects that I’m very passionate about, I’ve discovered. If something about them is disputed, I tend to get all flustered, my blood pressure rises, and when I aim to give a scathing and factual-to-the-T retort, what comes out is pretty much “Yeah?? Well… You’re stupid!” Wouldn’t it make sense that I could argue about things that I know so much about and love? However, it seems like half the knowledge I pick up on them comes from random Internet articles or people that I consider experts, but who no one else knows from Adam. Anymore, I just try to avoid confrontations about subjects like Linux, Ruby, liberals, Democrats, the Atkins diet, and abortion if the person’s views are opposite of mine.
