A friend of mine was in San Diego on business where her company put her up in a swanky hotel. I drove down from LA to meet her. I had some bills that were due so I brought them with me, wrote my checks (this was before online bill pay), stamped my envelopes, and asked the front desk to please include them with their outgoing mail.

For those who haven't figured it out, that's what Andy Dufresne did at the bank in Shawshank Redemption.

Lucky for me, they were nice about it and they actually did mail my letters for me, but I still cringe when I think about it today.

It's that stupid because of the risk of someone tampering with them?

I guess I just felt weird after thinking about it because I wasn't some guy in a fancy suit closing out a huge bank account and asking to mail a package in a Manila envelope, but just a 20-something girl in jeans and a tank top mailing out utility bills that were almost overdue. Probably just my own insecurities at the time.

Said Candyman in the mirror five times. Don't know what I was expecting. If it worked, I'd be brutally murdered. If it didn't nothing would have changed. There was no positive outcome to this action, onlybad and neutral..

i went to the movie theater and watched it all the way through. it was harrowing. i havent forgiven the hobbit movie, PJ and the movie industry in general for that one.

A couple of crazy tattoos. Santa Sangre, and Water Boy. You can figure the rest out.

I responded to just about any request from my parents with "Compliance!" for a while. I don't remember how long it lasted, but it probably drove my mum nuts.

After a screening of The man who stare at goats, me and my friend were walking out of the theater silently, and as we approached a corner, we both had the same idea. Without a word, we both walked into the wall. It was pretty hilarious - for us.
