Bunches of Stories
I now present to you funny little anecdotes that are too small to put in just one article by themselves. Each paragraph is a separate story in and of itself.
Below is the tracking information for something I ordered from amazon.com. Their packages arrive before they're even dispatched.
I went to the Big & Tall shop to find me a new suit. They told me my size is 58W which the man described as 58 - Portley. Frankly, you'd think they would figure out a better name for their sizes, like 58 Relaxed Fit. They're a Big & Tall shop! Their customers already KNOW they're fat when they walk in there to find themselves clothing! You don't need to go rubbing it in their faces!
I'm taking a statistics class this semester. The whole semester I was thinking "Why is all my teacher doing is reading the information right off the slides? Why doesn't she teach?" And then somebody told me that she was told to teach that way by the Stats department because they're doing a study.
One time my roommate told me "Your grandpa called and he says to call him back as soon as you get home." It was 10:45 here, 11:45 St. Louis time, but I figured if it was urgent, it was urgent. So I called them up, and we chatted a bit about this and that - nothing too important but it was nice. Then the next morning my other Grandpa called and asked me why I didn't call him back.
In Math class, they're having us do homework online now. I thought, "Well, it's not the best way to do math, it's much easier to do it on paper, but this will probably save me from buying paper." Then 2 weeks later they told us that when we do the homework, we need to do it online and then write it down and turn in the written homework.
One girl was trying to give me and another guy diet advice and said that I should eat oatmeal or cracked wheat - however she said to eat them without any sugar. I told her that I would rather be fat my whole life than do that even once.
In my old Bible, Mark 9:43 reads: "It is beer for thee to enter into life."
I gave my blog URL to most of my family in an email, thinking they might want to go to it. Turns out my grandpa accidentally typed in http://candid.blogspot.com instead of http://candidbyu.blogspot.com, and then he read some articles there which involved some cussing and some guy saying he's sick of life here and he's depressed about everything and all he wants to do is move to Japan. So my Grandpa is thinking, "What the heck is Christian writing?" And starts calling up my cousins, and my sisters, and my parents, and aunts, and uncles, and saying, "We need to help Christian - he's writing some weird things." He finally got in touch with me about it 2 days later, and I showed him the right website, and he had to call everybody back to let them know it was OK.

Dude, I feel ya on the Big and Tall thing. I know I'm fat, they know I'm fat. Why do they have to go out of their way to remind me of that fact? Besides, if I wanted to wear a smaller size, I could always just eat oatmeal or cracked wheat without sugar *shudders*.
you should send that amazon thing to leno
