I feel caustic and manic

Move or die. I think about that a lot lately. That if one ceases to reach for apples and books and all things, one might as well lay down and die. We all have to take care of ourselves to a certain extent, regardless of what support we may be privileged to have in our lives. We must all walk some roads alone.

There's something thrilling and something scary in that. But I'll take it any day over giving up.

There's a meme going around asking things like which userpic is most representative, what interests are too weird to explain, does the title make sense and whatnot. I would type that all up, except that I haven't answered it for anyone else. I am however, just that bored.

So if there's something here you want to ask me about, you know where the comment button is.

Virgil did not believe me when I explained that drinking was an important part of my college degree. I had the only one that requires you to be able to do a number of shots and get home on public transit. I should drag Melynda up here one day, because I think Virgil and Kingsley could be brothers. She would get a kick out of that I'm sure.

I want a beer so badly, and for no good reason. Actually, one of those kick ass apple ciders Sarah brought over would be even better. This happened yesterday too, except that I was alaso craving a hamburger. I don't know why I feel this, but it's absurdly present and strong. I'm going to blame some of my lurking characters for it. Being a writer means you get to do that and no one is allowed send you to the mad house. Perhaps that is why I have always wanted to be a writer.

Another hour before I can home and have that beer though.

fuck you, All State

Apparently it's perfectly legal in the state of Texas for insurance companies to add other family members to one's auto policy and lay the burden of proof upon the consumer to prove them wrong.

My younger sister purchased an auto policy through All State recently. They somehow decided to add me to her policy, indicating their information showed she had an older sister who lives at home and could be driving her car. When pressed, they would not admit where they obtained this information. (Which really, is rather out of date as I have not lived at my mother's home in four years, I'm married and have my own car & insurance through USAA.)

Apparently, the burden of proving them wrong rests with my sister and mother who must now jump through hoops to have my name removed and the rates returned to normal. My mother contacted the state insurance board today to question the legality of this company's actions and was assured it's all above board. However, this smacks of deceit and greed to me. I would encourage you to be wary when choosing your auto insurance.
