Rock the Vote

September 30th, 2004

Texans have until October 4 (next Monday!) to register to vote for
November. Are you registered?

If not, print and fill out the voter registration form and mail it to
your local voter registration offical.

If you’ve moved since the last time you voted, you may wish to
update your registration so you can vote in your neighborhood.

If you moved within the same county, all you have to do is change
your address online
.

If you moved to a different county, you must register again.

For more information on Texas voter registration, check out the Texas Secretary of State’s Voter Information page.

WTF?

September 23rd, 2004

Dear sarjaystu,

You know that post where you talked about your new car being the cause of beautiful weather [screenshot]? Those words are MINE.

Huggles,
Leia

P.S. Nice changing “kickass” to “great” and “Texas” to “North Carolina”, but missing the link to my site so I see it in the referrers. Way to go, brain trust!

Elevator Opinions

September 17th, 2004

A couple boarded the elevator after me and my co-worker. After the doors shut, the man triumphantly announced, “My name is John. I’m 65 years old and I don’t have to wear socks.”

I really wanted to announce, “My name is Leia. I’m 26 years old and if it is above 60° outside, I wear flipflops!”, but the elevator door opened.

Going to the second floor really only allows for one person to declare their stance on footwear.

An embarrassment of embarrassments

September 8th, 2004

The following took place in an instant message window in mid-August:
Co-worker: What’s up, [screen name that you only use on internet dating sites]?
Leia: Yo.
*pause while reality sets in that NO ONE should know this name*
Leia: Where did you see that?
Co-worker: http://personals.dallasobserver.com

Could I possibly look any more severe?

Leia: Oh my, that’s embarrassing.
*pause while reality further sets in*
Leia: Wait a second! AREN’T YOU MARRIED?

And yet sadly, even after front page exposure, no love from the internet dating site. Even with something as alluring as an elementary school painting to entice men with.

Crazy Hurricane Information Girl

September 3rd, 2004

I am crazy hurricane information girl! If there’s a site about Hurricane Frances, I want to read it. If there’s a message board, I want to know what the people think!

That’s how I came across the Florida Today Forums, and they are cracking me up. The topics of the latest posts:
Prayers from Utah
Prayers
Pray for me
Need someone to be with? (photo requested)
Prayer from Colorado
Pray for my family
Prayers from New Mexico
NO BEER SALES?

I guess some people are looking for a hurricane party.

Jaws

September 1st, 2004

Located while sorting through a lifetime of accumulated memories, souvenirs, t-shirts, and stuffed animals:

Jaws
Jaws are big,
Jaws are small,
Some people have
No jaws at all!
     – Leia Scofield, age 8

Even at that tender age, it was certain that poetry was not my forté.

See the leftmost H in this graphic? That’s pretty much right where my parents just bought a house. What’s up with all the hurricanes targeting my family?
