This message is by way of introduction. I think perhaps a summary of the events of this weekend will serve as a primer to my life and the state that I'm in. Saturday, as I was on my way to a party thrown by people I don't especially like, I stopped at the local bar for a bite and a pint. It seems like everyone at the bar conspired to make me staggeringly drunk. I stumbled down to the party, but was forced to make an over-hasty exit due to alcohol-induced illness. Sadly, (and here is the B&S content) I had to leave before I could sway in the style of the truly rhythmless to 'We Rule the School.' It was my only musical request at a party where the theme was 'High School Homecoming'. I was not elected king. I lost my cranberry sweater vest on the way home. Sunday I spent mainly in bed, but ventured out in the late afternoon to visit Ikea with my roommate. We bought a rug, and once at home, I swept and washed the floors in celebration of its arrival. I then commuted via train into work. I worked so late that the trains had stopped running when I was ready to leave. I spent the night in bed with my ex-girlfriend, fighting platonically over the covers. Surmise what you will about my life, but feel free to email me your inferences. My name is Ted and I live in Chicago. tew -- And it says "I burn."
