THE TEENAGE GUIDE TO POPULARITY

I have no idea why, but today, the song "Popular" by the band Nada Surf popped in my head. It's a funny song, and the video was pretty funny too. But I hadn't thought of the song in forever. The part that makes me laugh the most.

Being attractive is the most important thing there is
If you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond
You have to be as attractive as possible
Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean
Wash it at least every two weeks
Once every two weeks
And if you see Johnny football hero in the hall
Tell him he played a great game
Tell him you like his article in the newspaper

Next, my post from yesterday seemed to irk a few people. I'd like to say I don't believe that all women are that way. I usually ignore stupid "pass it on" things like that, but this one just seemed to ring true for something I'm going through. I apologize if anyone was offended.

Now, my voting story. There was a polling place two blocks from my place. Two Blocks! I checked the map to see if that's where I should go, as I know they had changed around the wards or whatever. So I look on the map, and it says that, yes indeed, I am suppose to vote at that particular polling place. So I go down there. They inform me that, no I'm at the wrong place, I should go to the church that is about a mile or so down the road. What? But the map...it said....here. Oh, I should mention that I was the only one there wanting to vote.

So I go down to the church and the entire population of Ames is at this place to vote. It goes quicker than I thought it would, thank goodness.

Oh, funny, stupid thing of the day. Jen and I were walking back to work after she went to pick up her lunch and she got a cookie. She then said, "I'm going to warm this up in the microwave so it's...warm." Probably not as funny to read, but I laughed quite a bit.
