The big 2-5
Feb. 20th, 2005 08:23 pmHoly crap I'm full.
Talked the 'rents into taking me to Outback for dinner for the big day. Things started out well. Wiatress was running and fully ahead of us on our drinks. Food came out quickly, until it was time for the main course. We got our salad, ate our salad, and sat. The manager comes up and apologizes (I'm wondering why right now), and says that our hot food order got lost in the kitchen somewhere. No big deal. She came out and apologized. She comped our appetizer (yummy cheese fries), and offered free desserts. All in all taking off over $17 from our bill. Knowing what had happened, we were cool with it and just hung out waiting for our food. I, of course, splurged because I can and went with the 16oz prime rib (I knew I wouldn't finish it, don't worry). Good food, decent dessert (chocolate covered cheesecake that was still slightly frozen, but tasted good. It's a good thing I'm not a picky eater).
Now to my redneck side. The Daytona 500 was today. Yes I'm a NASCAR fan. Don't like it? Tough shit. lol. I'm watching the finish to it right now because we had to leave about 3/4 of the way into it. I know how it ended up, but it's still fun to watch. I'm glad Jr. managed to come from the tail of the pack to finish 3rd. It just sucks that Gordon had to finish in front of him. lol
I'm full.
I'm ready for a nap!

So I checked your userinfo to make sure you didn't adjust it too:

This site is pretty neat to fool around with. It saves old webpages and also has some funny public domain educational movies. Funny B&W ones like they used to show us in school. Well, at least I saw them because I'm older than you. You probably didn't even have those stupid filmstrips did you?
;)

Date: 2005-02-21 02:19 am (UTC)I am NOT a JR. fan, NOT a Gordon fan. I like 12 & 48 Neuman & Johnson and that's about it. I haven't been a fan for long, but I am not a fan of Gordon because of Oh wow...so many things BEFORE I even watched the races, and Jr....well...sometimes I just don't like his attitude at all...and certainly NOT the coverage he gets even when nothing is going on with him... "We Know Jr. left the race 12 laps ago, lets go to the batroom and watch the last two wipes he takes before the flush..." Mears and Jamie Macwhatever are cute cute!! And The Viagra guy LOOKS 50 years older than he really is!

I do agree that they need to lay off Jr quite a bit. I think they only do it because of his bloodline.

I think I am not a Jr fan specifically because he is such a celeb and he knows it and his driving is NOT as good as it should be. (LIKE I EVEN fucking know...just an opinion) Too many people (not meaning you) are his fans ONLY because of his Dad...something I know a lil bit about (not NASCAR related btw, in my real life)...and loathe!

I find it funny that more and more gay guys are adding me and reading my journal. Must mean something, eh?
