Gone fishin’.
Friends and I going on a technology fast. Not that I update xanga all that much, but hey, I’ll never give it up. So just wanted to let y’all know I’ll be gone for 30 days or so. I have some stuff written down to update when I get back, so there will be more content on here in the future.
A small anecdote.I didn’t really drink until I turned 21. People always thought it was weird that I was in a fraternity and I didn’t smoke or drink. I thought it was kind of weird that people thought you had to if you were in one. I pretty much did the “don’t drink til you’re 21″ out of principle. Plus, it helped that the stuff was vile-tasting. I always thought that beer tasted like carbonated urine from the few sips I had had of it.
In any case, when I first came to college, I would hear people order a mixed drink called a “Roman Coke.” I always forgot what was in that dark carbonated elixir and asked my friends, “What’s in it?” “Coke and rum,” they would reply. “Ah, that’s weird to call it that,” I thought. But hey, I guess it’s like how they name it a Long Island Iced Tea, right?
Then one day, I realized I had misheard it the entire time.

lol. i think i’ll order my rum and coke as roman coke from now on.
hahaha “roman coke” sounds like a typical bar/club conversation, yell at the top of your lungs and they other person still doesn’t know what you said.
I cannot believe you were in a fraternity and didn’t drink until 21! The fraternity pledges at my school ALWAYS smelled like they had been dunked in beer whenever I pass by them.
