Currently listening to: “I Fought the Law” – Dead Kennedys<\/em><\/p>\n

These few days have brought way too many entertaining anecdotes. First sandwich man, now this romping troupe of jokers I ran into at approximately 3 p.m. a jolly Tuesday afternoon…and more stories to come in the next couple of days, I don’t want to reveal them all now!<\/p>\n

So I was out shooting downtown by the Vancouver Public Library when I found myself accosted by abovementioned persons- all thoroughly inebriated at 2.50ish in the afternoon. Now I would usually find that thoroughly amusing from a good distance, and maybe even a tad bit bohemian in the whole “Rene Descartes not doing anything productive all day” manner. However, when the scene is obscured by prancing 30-year-olds (probably football-watching, one of them had a Man U jersey) dudes who probably ought to be doing something aside from straggling down the street in the middle of the afternoon, ruddy-faced, taking up most of the space in my viewfinder, and saying things like “hey luv, what time is it?” before cracking up, evidently finding themselves specimens of sparkling wit…well, then it’s really a tad sad. Besides…there’s just something terribly suspect<\/i> about being intoxicated before 3 p.m., wouldn’t you agree? <\/p>\n

And please, for the love of all that is good, DON’T wear sweatpants with a football jersey. It just looks bad. <\/p>\n

And also omg omg omg everyone, I’m geeking out here, guess what I found! <\/p>\n

the POLITICAL SPECTRUM QUIZ<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve always been a social democrat, but here, this is a lot of fun if you’re not sure exactly where you fall on the political spectrum. And for those who do, it’s still a lot of fun :D And you get a nifty diagram of where you fall on the political spectrum (in this case, made in the form of a grid)! <\/p>\n

I am a left social libertarian
