Yeah it was odd to wake up with a little jager bottle on the bedside table.
I feel awful today.



This is why i had to say no to the extracurriculars last night. I had had all I could take. Went home watched a little Miami Vice and passed out. Admit it you are just a little bit jealous.



Yes, we're jealous. We didn't have any fun after you went home. SEE???

:P



and THAT is why Im so damn tired today! :oB|

I'm trying really hard not to see a cause/effect relationship here with my departure from Atlanta. :(

have your tried their public tansportation?:|



:D:D:D:D

As someone who just spent three months in Atlanta without a car, I can vouch for the lameness of Atlanta public transportation (although getting to and from the airport on MARTA kicks ass, especially when you're flying down the tracks watching the cars just sit there.

let alone only going from the airport N.
ATL is nice, if you have a car.. but it's more like a bunch of NY or Chicago suburbs messed together.

Where is my fizzy-lifting drink?

I leave town and look what happens. I don't understand why people from outside Atlanta like to visit or would want to visit. I guess when you live somewhere you get used to what all it has and think there is nothing here. I just recently learned people go on vacation and go to atlanta.

Hambone were you drunk?? How did I miss that. Oh well I jumped out of a jet so nahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

In Atlanta...

You give directions starting with, "Go down Peachtree" and include the phrase, "When you see the Waffle House."



You only know their way to work and their way home.



You only drink Coke or Diet Coke - drinking Pepsi is blasphemy.



You know to wear sneakers to the airport.



The 8:00 AM rush hour is from 6:30 to 10:30 AM. The 5:00 PM rush hour is from 3:00 to 7:30 PM. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday afternoon, and lasts through 2:00 AM Saturday.



You use "Sir" and "Ma'am" if there's a remote possibility that person you're talking to is least 30 minutes older than you are.



You can say Ponce De Leon Avenue correctly.



The falling of one rain drop causes all drivers to immediately forget all traffic rules.



If a single snowflake falls, the city is paralyzed for three days, and it's on all the channels as a news flash every 15 minutes for a month. All the grocery stores will be sold out of milk, bread, bottled water, toilet paper, and beer. If there is a remote chance of snow, and if it does snow, people will be on the corner selling "I survived the blizzard" tee-shirts, not to mention the fact that all schools will close at the slightest possible chance of snow.



If you are standing on a corner and a MARTA Bus stops, you're expected to get on and go somewhere.



Construction on Peachtree Street is a way of life and a permanent form of entertainment, especially when a water line is tapped and Atlanta's version of Old Faithful erupts.



Construction crews are not doing their jobs properly unless they close down all major streets during rush hour.



You never go 55 on "The Watermelon 500 or the Georgia 400.



You know you're not allergic to pollen, because if you were - you'd be dead already.



You've never gone around the block and ended up on the street you started on. You know where 'Butthead' and 'F*ckhead' are, and it's the same part of town.



You haven't been downtown at night in years



You've woken up at 4:30 am on workdays to beat the traffic to work, intending to leave work before 3 pm to compensate.



You know at least five different ways to get to work, none of them ideal



You know what "sunshine slowdown", "auto-flambé'", "topside" mean, and what color a H.E.R.O. is.



You know where PIB, JCB, FIB, MLK, PDK and "Grady curve" are, and you try to never go there during any of the nine hours of rush "hour"



You've thought about getting a blow-up companion for the front passenger seat



You hope you are the one to spot the vehicle that is the subject of the latest "Amber Alert" which has been flashing for ten minutes on the DOT message board exactly 13.5 feet above the hood of your SUV



You've been in traffic on 85, 75, 20 or 400 (choose one) - wondering if your fuel, your cell-phone battery and your bladder will make it to the next exit, just 1/2 mile ahead



It's 4:30 pm Sunday, you're stone-cold sober and you've just finished the last left-over hot dog when you realize that in exactly 12 hours you have to get up and go to work - again

If GSL #5 is infact next weekend I won't make it I have to attend a wedding. I have been a huge slacker this year. On monday night I went out with my roommates and a fraternity brother that just got back from spending a year in Iraq. It was a good time, but apparently they went out last night pretty hard, I was told that we would have left by 12 but I still couldn't pull the trigger on it.

I totally get why you miss it so much. Although quite hot, it is nowhere near as humid as Florida. The local roads are very scenic and people are very friendly. I went to Five Points and underground Atlanta and agree it is very interesting. I did not think it would be as ethnic as it is but I love it. Live music, great talent, etc. Anyway, I went to Stone Mountain today and hiked all the way up. Boy, am I out of shape!! I did not think I would make it to the top, but how gorgeous the view!! :)
