I Totally Wish I Had Something Interesting To Say

But I don't.

Here's a random picture taken in either Kent or Renton, WA. Just because. I was thinking about it, and then it came up in a text message conversation earlier this week. There's a story behind it (or at least behind why I took the picture). That might be interesting.

First, the photo:Now the story:

In my first apartment (hereby (and thenby) known as 502), I had a habit of coming home after a long day of doing whatever it was I did (j/k I know....I did all sorts of things), having usually not eaten much of anything in the 10-13 hours I'd been gone, throwing my stuff emphatically down on the couch, and loudly and overdramatically exclaiming SOMETHING about my day and how stressful it was or how hungry I was. Our favorites are as follows (3-1):

3. "I'm drinking MILK because it's all we have that's not alcohol!!!"
2. "If I don't eat something in the next 5 minutes, my stomach is going to invert and eat itself!"
1. "Man. I had like 3 meetings that I forgot I had. So I was sitting there in my last class getting all excited about dinner, then I remembered I had to go to more meetings. And the whole time I was in the meeting I just kept thinking to myself, 'NO! It's Taco Time!!'!"

And....while in Seattle, I came upon this restaurant (which apparently is a chain, as confirmed by college roommate Arabito (who was witness to all these overdramatics)'s text message the other day). I took it's picture. Because even though that apartment SUCKED.....it gave us some of the best times we had while in college.


I'll see Arabito (and be staying in the vicinity of that apartment) in less than 24 hours....so a little reminiscing seemed in order.
