DEEEEEEETROOOOOOOITTTTT BASSSSSSKETBAAAAAAAALLLLL!
Congrats to the Pistons for winning the NBA championship over those pansy-ass drama queens known to some as the LA Lakers! Rumor has it the Pistons' defense was so good that Kobe Bryant is considering hiring it for his trial. *ba dump tzz* Four rings were handed out to Tar Heel players/alumni (Larry Brown, 'Sheed, and two asst. coaches), meaning the best program in college basketball is still kicking ass and taking names even at the next level. That's 36 rings by my count.
Speaking of UNC, I went up to campus last weekend for law school open house and to look for an apartment. Didn't accomplish much in either event... open house was boring and not very helpful, and I'm still looking for a nice place that I can move into. Definitely had fun though; got my usual stroke-inducing cheese fries at Linda's while chatting with thorny_rose and a friend she brought along. Nice guy, but I knew it was going to be awkward when I mentioned "third-world countries" and he suddenly looked like I had shot him in the leg. "Third-world, ugh, I hate that, that's such a slanted term, how can you say that?, blah blah blah..." God, is "liberal pussy" slanted enough for you? Here's a guy who thinks that modern China is the world's greatest society and he's trying to convince me that it's *my* perspective that needs to change. Mr Marx, step the fuck off my cheese fries.
Anyway, I'm in a bit of a bind trying to select a roommate for my apartment. I've got one guy with whom I've been talking the longest, and he seems like a nice, fun, friendly, respectful person, so he's the obvious choice for someone to live with. But I've also gotten a rather desperate request from a girl who lives down in Louisiana and who wants to room with me as well. I had lunch with her last weekend and we looked at some places together, but she's not coming back up anymore and just wants me to sign something and be done with it. She's really cool as well, and I hate to leave her out in the cold because she's at such a distance, so I'm going to feel like a jerk no matter how nicely I tell her to look elsewhere. Incidentally, she's really cute as well, so that almost tipped the scales in her favor, seeing as how it's every guy's fantasy to live with one (or preferably more) hot girl. But the more I (rationally) think about it, the more I'm inclined to room with a guy I can go out with, make snide comments with, drink beer with, check out girls with, etc. I mean, it's not like this girl is going to be strutting around in a teddy all day. On the other hand, if she is... *drool*......... NO! Must think rationally! Arrgghh lksadfjlakdfjlka asdlkfjda flkjads.
Ok, I'm back now. Anyway, the male potential roommate is checking out a complex this Saturday that we both liked, so if it all looks alright, he's going to put down the deposit right there so we can get this done with. Then I'll have to practice my 'pre-roommate breakup speech'. "I'm sorry, Ms. cool and attractive young woman, but you cannot room with me."
...Man, wtf am I thinking? :\ Even I don't buy that :P
