Everybody take a sigh of a relief. It’s getting better… well, not close to back to normal-normal, but better.

Ugh. Bullshit. And can we fucking get rid of this idea of a “lady” and being “ladylike”? Most of my girlfriends are classy and awesome but not at all demure, refined and well-behaved at all times, and thank god...

Voter Registration
I downloaded and printed out and mailed in a voter registration form for Georgia early last week because I had to change my address from Athens to Atlanta, how do I know if everything is changed and I’m for sure registered because the deadline for GA is next Monday, October 6th? Will I get something in the mail? I had tried to check online before to figure out exactly which Athens address I...

Perhaps I should just invest in JP Morgan and Standard Oil now and avoid the rush…
I hear good things about Mr. Vanderbilt’s steel concern as well…
Insensitive comment coming: with no one having gas y’all now know how frustrating getting around Atlanta without a car is — very.
How was everyone else's weekend?
I had fun but that game still stings and will for awhile. Ah, well… sucks but life goes on. Thank you again to my lovely host for the weekend, Kathleen!

This is how I’m talking myself into looking at the game. IF (and it’s early enough in the season to say it is an “if”) Bama turns out to be the best in West (or at the very least, neck-and-neck with LSU) then maybe we just lost to the best...
Off to Athens!
Sans laptop and interwebz till Sunday. Peace out. GO DAWGS!!!!

winstonwolfe:
Georgia State Police spokesmen Roscoe P. Coltrane, speaking at a press conference from Hazzard County, has said that checkpoints are being set up at the border between the two states & unless Alabama fans have enough moonshine stashed in their trunks to fuel their cars back home, they will be turned away.

Gas Shortage In the South Creates Panic, Long... →
thisisareallybadidea:
Since not all of you read Vainglorious, there’s a huge gas shortage in the south. Who knew?
And you really should all read me, I have the hard-hitting coverage. Obvs.
Gas Crisis Insanity!
I’m really confused why I haven’t heard any national news on this, shit be crazy down here right now. It, of course, doesn’t affect me directly since I don’t drive, but it has affected everyone I know. Some points:
“They” wanted to cancel the UGA game this weekend because no one can get gas. It would never happen, but I get the motivation. 100,000 or so...
“As far as I’m concerned freedom has a cost; it’s called...”
– Joe, a commenter on the eugenics suggestion story, The Red and Black
UGA needs to step up it’s education, every single US citizen gets some type of welfare or aid from our government. Ugh. I’ve already worked myself up into such a frenzy this morning and it’s only 7:20 am.
“I know it’s morally the right thing to do, but let’s face it, not...”
– Red and Black: Abstinence only sex ed ‘not working’ - Opinions
Eugenics for the win!
Wow. So I remembered to start reading The Red & Black (UGA’s student newspaper) again this morning and I’m so glad I did. This logic is ASTOUNDING and this piece is quite obviously...
Pete Carrol ALWAYS dresses well
dearconbon:
He also has the best hair in college football. Sorry Sarah, I’m rooting for UGA on Saturday but Richt just isn’t as sweet as Pete.
Carroll and I are Facebook friends, I have a deep appreciation for the man. Also, we really should be rooting for each other because a USC/UGA national championship game would be sweeeet.
FINALLY
shaunbwilson:
Just because I’m not Tumbling about it doesn’t mean I’m not watching the game on Sportsline.com.
I’m looking forward to USC losing and a Big 12 team moving up into #1.
Now… Go Alabama!
Bama fans on my Dashboard? How’d they ever get here?
No, seriously, I’m pretty sure no one in the fanbase has the capacity for original thought or interesting discourse or can use a...
FINALLY
dearconbon:
sanchez can stay. Touchdown, USC. I think it’s funny how no one on Tumblr cares about college football except for sarahchristine. You all went to small liberal arts colleges with no athletic programs, didn’t you?
They’re all jealous of us. I have to say though, I think it would be good for UGA for USC to lose so…

This is what I will be saying about my court-ordered 100 hours of community service. I’m a giver people, I would have done it anyway.
OH FUCKING PUH-LEASE
Assistant: I don't date, I just have boyfriends.
Meghan: Yeah, she doesn't slut it up is what she's trying to say.
MzChristine: Girls with boyfriends aren't any better. It's just like girls who get in "relationships" because they don't want to have casual sex so they can feel better about themselves. You're still the same whores. Just own up to it.
Me: You dear, speak the truth.
