This is to you, Blind Melon, for providing my generation with a single so catchy we still sing along with it in its entirety every time it comes on the radio.

And then having your lead singer fucking die, you homps.

[chat] away.

    So I've got some kind of rash moving up my hand. It was an itchy knuckle, now it's covered the majority of my backhand, and it seems to have jumped down my arm to my elbow. I think it must be some new cleaner they're using at work, since it's only affecting areas of my skin that come in direct contact with my desk.

    Ask what kind of cleaner they are using, it could simply be because they didn't clean it off right.

    I've gotten three moving violations. One in the fall of 2001, another in the summer of 2002, and the most recent one last June.

    Parking tickets were many and often, since it was only a $5 fine to park out of place in a lot of good spots in college, so I'd just pay for it.

    Maybe, it started yesterday when I stuck my hand behind a very close desk to wall ratio to hook up a cat 5 cable. I scratched my knuckle against the drywall and it started itching, so I thought that might be it, just drywal dust, but it's on the other hand now, and on my elbow area where I rest it to type, so I'm lost. I know it's nothing at the house because nothing has been changed recently as far as detergents or soaps go. And I haven't made love to any south african livestock, so that idea is shot down.

    You're a reasonably attractive female; you have no excuse for getting speeding tickets.

    Let me try to list them:

    First one, was leaving the high school and for a very short period of time went 40 in a 25. I was pretty nervous and didn't say much to the cop. Went to traffic school to get the ticket off my record.

    Summer after my first year of college (I think?), I was drinking a root beer in a bottle while driving up I-5 to Seattle, going 80 and passing people in the left lane a lot. An unmarked car followed me for a while then called in his buddy to pull me over. He came up on me really fast from behind and when I saw him in my mirror I sort of freaked out and pulled over real fast, cutting off the guy in the lane next to me. The cop smelled my root beer and cited me for ten-over and an "unsafe lane change."

    Uhhhh crap I think I got one while in Michigan for college, but I'm not sure? Maybe I don't have as many as I thought.

    I got pulled over earlier this year while going from Bend to Portland. Madras police.


    Anyway I never know what to say to "get out" of the ticket. Cause I'm not going to lie, I was speeding in all these cases. I would say I was going a reasonable speed, of course, but I was still breaking the law.

    And here is the problem: they make you send in your DMV records. So anything that's on my record that I don't put down, that's being dishonest apparently. Even if I simply don't remember it. Ugh.

    Been driving almost 12 years - my only ticket was doing 82 in a 70 zone (km/h) Feb '07.

    EDIT: I'd like to add that I speed habitually. I believe the minimum is always 10 over, so I'm usually doing more than that. The only exception is in residential neighborhoods. I keep to either 50 or, in a playground/school zone, exactly 30.

    My advice for Photoshop is ‘screw around and maybe read tutorials’. It’s how I learned.

    For design, C.R.A.P. will get you pretty far. For the rest just look at things with a more critical eye, trying to figure out the principle. Maybe learn a few major styles and some typography principles.

    The only hard part of graphic design is doing a good job.

    Oh, Jesus, you do not drive 80 mph in Washington. Especially with out-of-state plates. I mean, seriously, I have to fight every California-trained driving reflex I have, but I still stick to 62 in the 60 zones.

    There's no excuse for any of the rest. All you needed to do was cry.

    My favorite ticket was the one where the cop nailed me from far enough ahead of me that he pulled out in front of me to pull me over. I was going... substantially over the speed limit. Substantially over enough that when he pulled me over, I thought I was going to be charged with a misdemeanor. One of two things happened: either he got the SUV in front of me with his radar gun, or he was eyeballing me, and basing the speed he thought I was going on the assumption the SUV was going the speed limit (it was a 65 zone). He walked up to the side of the car, I'm freaking the fuck out internally, and he says "license and registration, please." It was a CHP, too, so I know there's no way in hell I'm driving away with a warning. I hand him both, he asks about it being in my friend's parents' name (they were in the car). Then he asks "do you know why I pulled you over?"
    "I guess I was speeding, officer."
    "Do you know how fast you were going?"
    "Uh... I guess I was going over 65? We're on our way home from a concert that went late, officer, and our parents get paranoid when we're late. Sorry about that."
    "Well, I clocked you doing 85."
    [internal monologue]Yes! Yes! Yessss! Wooooooooo! Thank fucking god![/internal monologue]
    "Oh, really? Oh, I'm so sorry, officer; I had no idea I was going that fast."

    Ended up traffic-schooling it. I never in my life expected to be so happy getting a speeding ticket.
