Done anything dumb lately?

Got nicked for lapsed car registration. Fine, tax, late fee on county tax, registration, late fee on registration. This is gonna hurt.

I did a 270 in my car the other night. It had snowed some, around an inch. It was the middle of the night, so wasn't cleared or driven on. I do know how to drive on snow, but was a bit overconfident.

It was wet snow, and slipperier than I expected. I was driving about 35mph, less than the speed limit of 40, and was going around a gentle curve. Turned out to be too fast. The rear end started to skid out left, so I turned into the direction, and began to straighten out. No problem, right? Wrong! Started to skid the other way, turned the wheel to correct, but too much. Skidded back the other way, corrected again, then finally spun out counterclockwise. Fortunately there was no one else there, and the road was wide (a lane for each direction plus a left-turn lane in the middle).

I was a bit more cautious in turns afterward, but they were 90-degree ones, and straight driving otherwise, so no worries.

Today on my blood donation form I said that I'd gotten an allergy shot two weeks ago (since we're supposed to report all shots we've gotten in the past four weeks). Every time I've donated blood I'd had an allergy shot two weeks prior (since I get an allergy shot every two weeks), it has never resulted in a deferral, and yet I keep reporting it anyway. Today it bit me on the ass, because the lady conducting the pre-donation "are you gay" interview had no idea if allergy shots result in a deferral, spent ten minutes failing to look it up in her Big Book of Deferrals, and then spent a half hour on the phone trying to get ahold of somebody who knew if allergy shots result in a deferral. Between her, and the guy on the cot adjacent to me who got light-headed right when the phlebotomist was about to stick me, and the guy on the other cot adjacent to me who passed out right when the phlebotomist was about to stick me, today's blood donation ate up two hours of my time. Next time I'm not reporting the allergy shot.

The other week, I went to take a dump in a public restroom. The lock on the door was a bit difficult, so I forced it in locked position and got going - not that I care if people would open the door, but hey, I didn't really think about it.
Needless to say, the door was impossible to open afterwards, as I had broken the lock even more.
Luckily it was this kind of restrooms where the enclosures don't go all the way to the top, so I climbed my way out of the toilet.

I agreed to have myself ranked in KH's intelligence poll. I am now nothing but a crushed and empty shell of a human being, what little self confidence i still had has been swept away by a tide of shame. Alas, Rah is ranked above me.

On a more serious note, i joined a band last month and i've taken up smoking again - after almost 7 years - when we practice.

Three days later, I'm starting to come back to the real world

Heh. Last time I donated a coworker of mine was held up by one of the nurses (this was after the "are you gay or from Africa or screwed someone from Africa" question session) because of a zit on his forearm... or what was the beginning of a zit, anyway.

I made a thread by mistake, and edited it into something which makes at least some sense.

I don't play an instrument in this one, i only sing and write lyrics. I used to play drums some time ago but they already have a good drummer. As for the style of music, i'd say it's hard rock with a bit of a progressive edge to it. Lots of fun.

To whom did you donate your coworker?

That's how you become an Emperor? I have much to learn.
