I sold my iMac and my laptop and anything else I could get my hands on and bought a 14" iBook.  It is old and crappy, 700MHz G3, and only has 256 megs of ram at the moment, but it is still excellent.  The battery life is awesome, it has a decent-sized hard drive, it has wireless intarweb, a combo drive…I sure love it.  It’s not very fast, but my iMac was only 400MHz, so it seems fast to me.  I don’t suppose there’s anything else to say about that.  I am happy and such.

wOh by the way, here is a buddy icon that you can use for your very own.  Yes it was the work of 38 seconds in the Gimp, yes you can do a better one, but if you don’t want the hassle, here you go.

Oh man I am angry…if anybody can help me out with any information whatsoever, please do

I was driving home just now, and I was almost to my exit, and there were cops around taking care of an accident or something. georgia navigator says “I-75/85 South between 17TH ST and 10TH/14TH ST
1 vehicle, Fulton Co. [GDOT-INC-483025]” So I saw the flashing lights ahead, and I slowed down to match the car in front of me. We were already in the slow lane, or the one next to it. I was mainly watching them, but I did see that there was a police car in the 2nd lane with its lights flashing. Out of, what, 5 lanes or so, there was a car in one. The car ahead of me slowed down and got in the slow lane, so I did too. It kept on slowing and slowing and finally it stopped, and I got confused. A cop pointed, and they drove up a little way and turned left and got over a few lanes and went on. A cop started pointing that way, so I started to go the same route. it becomes a blur, cause it was dark and wet and there were lights flashing everywhere…it was confusing…but this woman cop started screaming at me. I of course immediately stopped and looked, and she pointed to go the way i was going. I started going again, very slowly, and stopped next to her, this was beside the police car in the lane to the left. She beat on my window and told me to roll it down, even though i could plainly hear everything she was saying, and could tell she was a piece of human white trash filth by her voice. So I hit the rolldown button, and it was going down and all of a sudden she jerked my door open! at that point I seriously started freaking out, I once had a cop yell at me for going 20 in a 25 because I was “going faster than everybody else,” but I have never had my door ripped open. She seriously threw it open! is that even legal?? she starts yelling at me, I don’t remember the sequence of events. She demanded my license, I pulled it out and gave it to her and she asked me if I was drinking. I was kind of angry at having my door ripped open, and maybe I put an edge to my “no”, I don’t know. She starts saying crap about her car was OBVIOUSLY in BOTH right lanes. I was stopped about 3 feet from her car. I turned my head and looked at the wheels she wasn’t blocking with my car door and her body…the tires were literally 4 inches in the slow lane. there is absolutely no way anybody could tell what lane that police car was in until you’re right on it…try looking for road paint that’s faded and wet some time…it is invisible. She asked me if I needed glasses, I said no, she said something about how we were the only two cars taht night that didn’t realize she was in both lanes, couldn’t I see the car as soon as I “popped over that hill??” “I saw lights, I couldn’t tell what lanes any particular cars were in, and I was concentrating on what the car in front of me was doing.” She made some comments about how I obviously shouldn’t be driving (I’m not sure what reason exists that I shouldn’t be, or if she claimed to have one), and said “yeah just following like a duck” and slammed my car door shut.

I am so seriously angry about this, I wish I had the sense of mind to ask her her name, or even notice who she was with (state patrol, atl police, fulton county). If anybody has any way I could find out just who would be handling that, I’m really going to call and lodge my complaints. I don’t know why she didn’t scream at the car in front of me, maybe it was my “Proud to be an american” tshirt with my “I’m a georgia voter” sticker that made her so angry. Maybe my age. I have no idea, but that was seriously wrong. I did absolutely nothing wrong, and this woman is seriously demented if she thinks she can treat people like that. I need to add that when she said that it was obvious her car was in both lanes, I looked at it, noticed how it was 98% in the 2nd lane, thought about how lanes are invisible in the rain, and looked up at her with total incredulity. All that was going through my head was “this woman must be crazy”, and so she started going on about how when SHE came over the hill she could plainly see everything that was happening and what lane her car was in…which I really don’t understand. Did she park it and then walk 200 yards up the freeway and commandeer another car to see if it was visible from there, or what??

Anyway, somebody please help me, maybe there’s been a ton of complaints about this psycho, and I could be the one to get her fired and hopefully living in a box on north avenue.

Man I’m so shaken up and angry about this that I forgot the 200 things I was going to really write about.
