      Basically, a place for you to dump your rants and/or raves. Consider this a sort of livejournal for the lounge- you want to get it off your chest, but maybe it doesn't merit and entire thread. I'll start

      Rave- Rachels allowing you to share burritos, because those things are huge and I'll still tip for two meals even if I only order one.

      Intervention on-demand which is my favorite thing about having cable

      The scents in which Ikea manufactures their candles...subtle and nice without giving me a migraine.

      Rant- People clipping me in the heels with their shopping cart...i mean seriously, you're 45 and you haven't learned how to drive a cart in C-town?

      The F train, which I love but has really fucked me over lately.

      Rude people who think they can touch my body without asking (and I don't mean accidentally rubbing up against. I mean an obvious poke or prod because they're curious about my piercings or tattoos. If you have a question...ask. No touching.)

      Now go!

      I did not go to beast- I had to help my best friend shop at ikea for her new apt (oh the joys of having a car.) Truth be told shes basically the most important person to me ever soooooo I help her out whenever she asks. Hence the Rachels burrito sharing.

      And Vidro- you need a good bff. Aforementioned best friend has totally cared for me while I had a cold. Movie marathons are a must for best friends!

      Rave : I was at the Beast/Barette outing.

      OMG! I never looked that far up the dial. Now (on top of all of my DVR stuff, my Netflix, my Roku box, the HBO/SHO on demand I am behind on) I have another reason to stay in on a cold day.

      Payment in the form of booze = when will I see YOUR episode?

      I saw that one too. Holy shit! I'm so glad people most of the people I knew weren't into shit like that...and meth wasn't around.

      We had enough with weed, coke, acid, mushrooms, mescalin and quaaludes, thank you very much

      Rave: the inner peace of yoga

      It truly brings out the best in me.

      Rant: comme des garcons for h&m

      What gross stuff and people stood on line for that crap! The regular comme des garcons line is very innovative, but this was not up to snuff.

      Rant: over the shoulder readers on the subway

      Bring your own reading material and don't get annoyed when I suddenly stop reading my magazine and pull out a (gasp) book.

      Everyone was great at Barette last night, and that pepper martini reminded me of my tequila macho days. I'm always up for drinking coffee, beer or otherwise. Except when I'm sleepy.

      Rave: Tequila + habañero + lime = Tequila Macho, goes great with achiote braised pork ribs otherwise known as my lame and lazy version of cochinita pibil.
