Did you know that flag burning isn't against the law? I sure didn't, until I did my conlaw reading for today. I'm not sure if it was growing up for a short time in the South, or what, but I always thought flag burning was illegal. Turns out, it's actually protected speech under the 1st Amendment. Not that I'd ever burn the flag... it's just something that kinda shocked me.
We're covering speech in class right now, and there's really very little the Supreme Court has been willing to allow speech restriction. Like, yelling at my neighbors right now for being incredibly loud and annoying would be perfectly okay as long as I didn't use any words that would incite violence.
No promises.
These girls are ALWAYS loud. They play awful music all the time and yell and cackle like witches. One Wed night they were blasting their music at like 11:30. Now, there's kids in this complex that go to elementry school, and they need their sleep. I think the people above me finally yelled at them. I almost called the cops with a noise complaint, but I was lazy.
Not that I could do that now. I left my phone charger in Wilsonville, which BLOWS. I haven't actually talked to Erin in like, 36 hours? Maybe less than that, but still, sucks. I do like to hear my woman's voice! She says she did okay on her test, and I hope she did. Someone's going to have to provide for me once I quit being a lawlyer and start writing full time.
The presidential debates pissed me off tonight. You don't learn much of anything new at all, and after the first ten seconds of a canidate answering a question, you hear the same canned response as he gave to the last question. I want answers, damnit! I have a feeling McCain's "that one" reference to Obama is going to blow up in his face. Oh well.
I looked for summer jobs in Fl. There aren't really any IP firms in WPB that I could find, which makes me sad. 10 glorious weeks in Fl with B would be pretty epic. Although, speaking of burnanating, it would be summer in Fl. Ugh. At least I get to spend a few days with him soon!!! I can't wait. We'll laugh, we'll cry, we'll cuddle post-coitally in bed... wait, not that last part. Maybe.
Not quite tired, yet, but I'm bored. Perhaps I'll read. Or perhaps I'll do the same thing I do every night. Try to take over the world.

Taking over the world... fantastic!
Sucks about the phone. I'll be sure to not call you for fear of talking to your family.
Noise neighbors suck, for sure. I have a 700 lb gorilla living above me, and sometimes she has her gorilla friends over for mary kay parties. It's kind of like living under the San Andreas fault. Awesome, huh?
GL with the whole Erin supports you while you write thing. I'm doing this tech writing stuff mostly because I know I can do it freelance later on... which should mean a nice, steady pay while I still have lots of time to write.
