i hate girls that smoke, and then spray 3 gallons of body splash on after their cigarette break to “cover up” the stench. It’s not working. Really. There’s a girl that I see in the bathroom all the time (I go often)… and she’s always washin’ her hands like she’s trying to get rid of the first 4 layers of skin. I thought she was just a hypochondriac at first, but when I had to stand by her to get some paper towels I could smell the marlboros on her hair and clothing. I always hear smokers saying “oh, i can’t stand the smell” blah blah blah. They always carry breathmints and anti-bacterial hand gel to cover it up. Stop smoking. There’s your solution – and much cheaper, I might add. And it prevents me from being bombarded with the smell of cheap perfume and menthols.
Hell, if I were a smoker, I wouldn’t be driving myself crazy trying to hide it. I’d walk with my head high – and proud. I’d walk around smelling like an astray, dammit. For instance, I like to eat, so I walk around with my rolls of back fat, very proudly, too! Live with the consequences. Don’t wanna smell like smoke? Don’t smoke! Don’t want no back fat? Don’t eat fat back. Plain and simple.
There are a few exceptions… Kelly and Cyril, for example – both friends of mine who smoke. I don’t knwo why, but if I didn’t know they smoked, I’d never be able to tell. They never “smell” like smoke and they’re not constantly dousing themselves in some odd fragrance. I don’t know what they do differently when they light one up, but more people should do it.
Anywho… don’t smoke n’ stuff. It’s bad for you.

Thanks.

it’s been a while…

29/07/2004

so here’s the update.

I’m still working. I just finished my summer course (COMM 220 – Mass Communications… did “satisfactory” well. lol). I have 26 days until I start fall courses (all 16 UNITS). I’ve put 25000 miles on my car in 8 months. I get oil changes once a month – the guy I go to knows my name. I’ve been watching the Democratic National Convention almost religiously. I even listen to it live on NPR (shock! horror!). I’m voting this year for the first time ever. I’m trying to consolidate my student loans so I won’t be a broke ass sucker anymore. I’m going to Pride this weekend. I think Barack Obama is dope (can you call a potential Senator dope?). Right now I have Fig Newtons and Dove Chocolate “Promises” in my cube. I’m drinking Mighty Mango Naked Juice for breakfast. I don’t eat meat anymore (only fish ’cause I couldn’t give up sushi, and the occasional slice of fat back because… hell, it’s fat back). I have more freelance than I know what to do with. I finally decided to use this domain name after having it forever.

Sorry about my big head (Joanna). I forget at home that the resolution on my screen is 1920×1200, so my big head doesn’t look so big to me :)

That’s about it.
