same coworker:
"ough!!" (grabs head)

Heh, that's also what it might be like if I was interested in my job.

coworker at the computer on my left:
"Yeah!!" (punches air) "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" (punches once for each "yeah")

I guess that's what it might be like if I was interested in my job.. wow, though, getting that excited about coding....

guy to my right:
"Oh. An error message that's actually helpful! Wonderful!"

in restaraunt:
husband: ...so I guess "thumper" has some sort of gay connotation...
wife: Yeah, that's why you're getting all that junk mail!

some crappy retail store:
"...SUCH a creature. I don't know what race he's from, but it's *totally* not the human race. And my friend *is* a Foolio..." -some chick

I didn't witness this myself, but oh, what I would pay to. Just say it out loud. Imagine what this person might look like. (This was actually overheard by a friend of mine but I couldn't resist.)

I figure that I'm probably not interesting enough to just have a blog all about me. Then again, the point of blogs is to peek into someone else's life, yes? Well, instead of mine, I give you a random sampling of other peoples' lives. Enjoy.

on the bus:
"Yeah... I'm withdrawing from 3 classes today. I guess if you booze, you lose." -pre-Alcoholics-Anonymous Undergraduate, 7 weeks into the semester.

outdoors:
"343 times I tried that trick! If I screw it up one more time, I"m smashing my board into splinters!" -lame skateboarder wannabe, has not yet learned of the difference between persistance and stupidity.

in lab:
"mama mia!" -student in Italian soccer jersey. I think he was serious.
