    I'm fine, thanks. Holiday has begun for me!!! Although... I'll keep studying anyway, so that won't really make a difference... but it's cool! :)
    And how are you?

    How am I? Blah. I have a job on the Toronto Island this summer. Unfortunately, there is a strike going on that started today, and it includes the people who run the ferries, the only way most people can get on and off the island.

    Yeah, my sister told me, but actually I don't believe it's really him. That would be too... I don't know, too...obvious? I don't really know how to say it, but I still don't think it true...

    British series by and for car enthusiasts. They do wacky road (and off road) races, comparisons of exotic cars, things like that. They are an entertaining bunch of loonies.

    Many of the cars are ready for the junkyard by the time they are done.

    Going on the evidence it can't be him - the new Stig's been on telly since 2002, well before he retired. I reckon it'll be someone like Eddie Irvine or Johnnie Herbert, who retired from F1 around that time. Quite a shock to see 'him' under that helmet, though. Got me all giddy with excitement.

    To be fair, they get half their cars from the scrap pile anyway. And it's impossible to forget what they did for the winter Olympics one year, combining a Mini, a rocket engine, and a ski slope. Or the trek across the American deep south.

    Well, today is better than yesterday by a mile. Had a wicked hangover yesterday. Some folks came over on Saturday night and my mojitos went over like a house on fire.

    I have never been hungover. I have woken up the next morning to, "What's that awful smell?" *sniff sniff* "Oh, it's me"

    I got so tipsy that I actually smoked two cigarettes!

    Just thinking about it now is making me nauseated. :(

    Wanna hear what is really sad? At my drunkest...the time that led to "What's that smell"...all I had had was a half glass on Champagne and a Long Island. I had to be carried three blocks to the car and then from the car into the house.

    And who keeps moving the danged floor? ;)

    EDIT: A Long Island counts as a triple in most bars. Mixing that with champagne sounds like a recipe for a technicolor yawn.

    At the time...I had no idea what a Long Island was...A friend ordered it for me...then laughed at me the whole night as I wobbled around the bar trying to find the bathroom and just about fell off my stool...great friend...I am a lot more cautious now

    ^ I can't do L.I.T's. Plus I have bad memories associated with them. :( I always knew that the night was going to go very, very, wrong when my X would start to order L.I.T's. Think ABC After School Special, but for grownups.

    Three things:

    1. Last time the BBC 'revealed' the Stig's identity it was Abraham Lincoln,

    2. There's a video on youtube of a German journalist interviewing The Stig, where he spoke with a definate English accent and

    3. They even admitted at the end of the episode that it was made up!

    Although, I did get jitters while the helmet began to come off. :D

    Now that that's out of the way, Evening, all. :rolleyes:

    Yeah, this would be the main reason for his being an X. That and the fact that I wasn't allowed to have fellahs' as friends, only girls.

    "Jealousy, like some tumor in my mind......"
