For someone who hates live journals,I've certainly been updating mine a lot...
Okay here's the deal, as i've made sure to say, i'm not a huge fan of live journals. However, i have something that i felt simply *had* to be put up for the world (or the few people who actually read this...) to see. Last year, Emily and I realized early on that Mr. George made some pretty funny statements that simply had to be written down. Last night i finally got my ass in gear and typed the quotes up. Some are hysterical, others not so much. Some you can understand halarity just from reading, others you had to be there to hear. Enjoy...
