Monica really is all that. Posted at 3:53 PM Jun 19, 2008 view more
Yeah, I've been a slacker. We SHOULD hang out sometime, it's been too damn long. I have a buttload to do this weekend but if you're gonna go to JV, you know where to find me. You can meet Greg too...and my friend Steph from UT. It'll be some good times. You need to come.
heh, you know how often i check this stupid myspace thing. i don't stay logged in long enough to change my profile! ;) maybe i should upload my new hair colour though...
Monica, are you guys bored out of your skull at work? I can't help but wonder because it's the same f'ing forecast everyday. High 100, low 70. Can't you guys just put everything on auto pilot for a coupla' weeks and take a sweet vacation or something?
Ok first night in Dallas....pre-planned group dinner at a place called Magic Time Machine. Yes, a restaurant called Magic Time Machine...freakin' WIERD.
Monica, I just wanna say that you totally rock. I ask a casual question about food in Dallas and you respond with an encyclopedia of opportunities!!! I will be printing this information off and using it to my advantage!! Fo' real!!!
Hey Monica!, I'm going to Dallas next week for 4 days/3 nights. Is there any good Mexican food near the Galleria area? That's where I'm staying/working. Even better, is there good sushi in that hood?
I am a dip... get a load of this: I actually clicked on your site just now so I could hear the dip song, but was disappointed that you had changed it... so sad the lack of the dip. =P
Dude! I dunno if you're familiar with the street, but I was driving on Nimitz the other day--the street that has like 10 DIP signs, and thought of your song.
