Countdown
July 7th, 2004 • Introspection / News
Life is a crazy thing — unpredictable and beautiful. A year ago, I never would have expected that at the end of this month, I would be quitting my current job and moving to Ohio. I feel a little crazy for doing this without a new job lined up, but more than anything I feel strongly that I’m doing the right thing. The time has come for me to move on into new experiences and I’m totally excited (and scared) by all the possibilities.
This will only be the second time I’ve moved since leaving home (the first was here to college). Leaving behind everything I know is pretty intimidating, but thankfully I have a good guide to help me find my way around.
Things are looking up, and I’m happy and terrified all at once. So buckle your seat belts, because it’s going to be crazy ride.

Good for you, bad for the 'Burg, blessings bro blessings. Watch yourself up there, it might be pop, not soda up there. Them silly Yanks.

It is pop ;-). The other one he seems to have trouble with is that I would ask someone to "drive with me to the store" rather than "ride with me".

Word, Erica. Quinn, you need to get your head examinated. Why call it "coke" or "soda" when it's clearly "pop."

yep, pretty sure the "pop" people have triumphed, suck it up you lexiconally challenged miscreants!
hmmmm, wonder what the presidential candidates call their carbonated beverages…I would say that their choice might swing my vote, but it would infact take a power mind frying drug to do that

I'm casting my vote with the sodas - although Seattle has a rather eclectic sampling of all three options.
I have to say, coke is definitely the worst of the lot. Calling Pepsi "coke" is clearly asking for misunderstandings and hurt feelings.

I really wasn't trying to get people to take sides… Oh who am I kidding… Yes I was. And still the debate rambles on…
