This is ridiculous. I think all the hair on the back of my neck just stood up from the creepiness.

I'm not watching the Olympics next year in protest.

I found this on facebook, but thought it needed posting here. Especially after hearing all the stories about "the Cane Toad Video".

For Chase and Jenny:

You know you grew up in Chapel Hill if more than 5 of these apply to you...

Your family's standard drinking cups were the plastic Carolina ones you collected at sporting events.

You know that d-o-o-k is the correct spelling of that school in Durham.

You cringe whenever you see a new subdivision go up in town.

When your family went out for ice cream, you went to Swenson's, not Dairy Queen.

At least once each winter, you heard a transplanted northerner make fun of southerners for overreacting to snow.

At least once each summer, you observed a transplanted northerner overreacting to the heat and humidity.

At some time in your life, you had a teacher who hung a Carolina basketball calendar poster in your classroom.

You know how to pronounce Seawell and Ephesus.

You know what Seawell and Ephesus are.

You, or your parents, had to cross over the county line to do any major shopping.

You find it annoying when you hear people talking about Carolina football and it turns out they're talking about the Panthers.

You thought 1300 was an average SAT score. (when it was a total of 1600.)

You think of Chapel Hill as it was in your childhood as the "real Chapel Hill."

In your heart of hearts, you TRULY BELIEVE that Chapel Hill IS the 'Southern Part of Heaven.'

You have jumped over a bonfire on Franklin St. after UNC won a big game.

You went to Michael Jordan's restaurant, 23, before it turned into a beauty institute.

You have been to Time-Out at 3 in the morning and knew at least 5 people there.

You remember NBA stars as fresh-faced college kids before they had their own sports brand and were making 6 figures.

You know what 'Dillo is and you go there on a regular basis even though it's incredibly over-priced.

You have never paid for parking downtown because you are familiar with every back alley, free lot, and broken parking meter.

You still miss the Wicked Burrito.

You remember the Intimate Bookshop, Record Bar, Earth Shoe store, Leo's, Huggins Hardware, and Jeff's - all on one street.

You remember Apple Chill BEFORE there was an After Chill.

When ACC Tournament friday is considered an unofficial holiday, and either teachers let you watch the games, or you secretly listen to the radio while in class.

You have been to a birthday party at the FARM.

You still call it "Wellspring" rather than Whole Foods.

You will always call it Airport Road.

You played on a Rainbow Soccer team.

You have seen the Cane Toad video at least twice.

You've watched fireworks in Kenan Stadium on the 4th of July.

Dubey's Pet World and Take Ten were the highlight of U-Mall.

When Halloween is the holiday everyone looks forward to most.

You've managed to make it to Cosmic Cantina multiple times at 2am.

You go to 'Sunrise' before class, school, work, or a road trip.

You understand the full importance of the phrase "He's Not Here."

You remember Mio's Pizza before it was Alfredo's. You remember Tony's Pizza before it was Mio's.

You remember the Trolley on Franklin St.

My dad's sense of humor (and I got it from my German swim teammate)...

Subject:Quiz...
Time:10:39 pm

Your Score: Myrna Loy


You scored 19% grit, 47% wit, 19% flair, and 30% class!



You are loaded with a quirky kind of class that people find irresistable. Men turn and look at you admiringly as you walk down the street, and even your rivals have a grudging respect for you. You usually know the right thing to say, do and, of course, wear. You can take charge of a situation when things get out of hand, and you do it with great poise and chic. Your wit and sense of fun endear you to your partner and every other man in the room. Your screen partners include William Powell and Cary Grant. You're quite a catch...if you want to be caught.

Find out what kind of classic leading man you'd make by taking the Classic Leading Man Test.

Subject:triathlon update
Time:11:13 pm
raced in my first triathlon ever this weekend. it involved running through the hillsborough sportsplex parking lot at 9:15AM Sunday morning soaking wet in my bathing suit with no shoes on. i think i remember yelling something like "holy $%&@ its cold!" as i ran from the pool to my bike, but then all of my extremities went numb. in fact, it wasn't until a mile into the two mile run that my feet warmed up enough for me to realize i had a rock in my shoe. by then i only had a mile left before the whole thing was finished, so i just kept on going.

final results:
250M swim: 2nd place out of the women, 6th overall
11.6 mile bike: 70th place (out of women)
2 mile run: 50th place (out of women)
overall: 53rd out of 107 women

next time, i probably should get a road bike - although i was the only person with a bike bell, it didn't help me a lot up those hills. but it sure did sound cheery!
