it's me, scott.

so today i am wearing an orange shirt simply because i think that the color orange is underrated and overlooked far too often. like, i think if i went around asking everybody what their least favorite color was, they'd say either "brown" (which isn't true because i see people wearing brown sweaters all the time!!) or orange. and orange is very lovely and pumpkinish and how can you not love a color that has a fruit named after it??

i haven't written in my diary lately. i am bad. bad bad bad. but i have a good excuse! i was in baltimore, maryland for the weekend with some friends, and i'm a lazy dork who hasn't written anything despite the fact that i was sitting in front of this computer all day yesterday at work. sorry!

baltimore was spectacular. i don't think i've ever flown over so many trees (i say this every time i fly, like the last time i went to tennessee, i said "wow tennessee has a lot of trees!" and before that i was like "hey north carolina sure is pretty, they have a lot more trees than other states!") but i think maryland was especially pretty because of it being fall and leaves changing and all of that. but anyway, it was cool seeing all the little sailboats in the harbor, though i really could've done without the man next to me telling me all about what a wonderful sandpaper bargain-hunter he was. i kid you not, he went on for at least 30 minutes about how he got $1000 worth of sandpaper for $40. thirty minutes!! i really didn't know it was POSSIBLE to talk about sandpaper with another person for more than two minutes. like, "hey, that's some nice sandpaper." "oh yeah, thanks, i got it on sale at office depot." "oh, hey, way to go!!"

anyway.

did you dress up for halloween? on saturday i wore a pair of bunny ears around all day on a bet with liza, but aside from that, nothing. i can never come up with good costumes myself, but my coworker suggested on friday that i be a jehovas witness, which sounded pretty good to me, but i tried to stop by and get jehovas witness pamphlets after work, and there was nobody there. so that all fell through, and i just wore bunny ears.

there is this new guy at work today, and his name is "skippy". well, not really, but he is kind of pudgy, and he has long hair and he wears socks and sandals and i think that anyone who fits that description should be named "skippy". or "roland", if "skippy" doesn't work out.

until next time, dear internet, keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars!

love,
scott.
