Thoughts while trapped in snow traffic

While I was parked on Maryland Avenue waiting not so patiently to get off campus, after I finished a book and after my phone was about to die, I was left with only my thoughts to entertain me so I grabbed the Moleskine to write them down.
  • Dear Lord in heaven, WTF is happening up there? Its a 4-way stop for the love of all that is holy and sacred
  • Dude, thank goodness I decided I should start carrying a book with me for times when I might have to wait.
  • After realizing I only had 1 chapter left in the book I had: Why didn't I grab a back up book?!
  • Man, having a smart phone is nice in a situation like this
  • DAMN! I wish I had grabbed my USB cord to charge this stupid phone
  • I wish I had a ruler, I would get out and measure the snow. I'm sure that would look weird to people but what do I care. I want to know how deep that is out there
  • I never notice how many hills there are until they're covered in snow and backed up traffic and pose potential threats to my forward progress
  • Huh, at least that 180 just happened in the empty parking lot
  • I wish I had a snack
  • OMG! I have grapes in my bag
  • There is no way in hell I'm driving anymore once the hubs gets in the car
  • If I were in college, I'd totally be making plans to go out the the bars tonight.
  • I was stupid in college

And then sweet relief, my driving duties were over.

    You crack me up. I heart you, Niki! Have you seen that e-trade commercial with the baby in his crib, with a smartphone? If not, you need to look it up! - The one where he sings at the end, "Nobody knows the [trouble I've seen]..."

    So I take it you didn't get a snow day today like we did? (Sorry, didn't meant to rub that in your face...) BUT IT HAS BEEN AWESOME!!!

    Re: the last two bullet points, I went out last night. I almost ran over three girls who decided to cross Broadway while I had the green light. Lucky for them, I was breaking to turn at that corner. If I were more of a jerk, I would have honked at them when they were right in front of me, waving at me mouthing "Thank you for waiting!" (I assume because I was listening to Modest Mouse). Double lucky for them was that I was listening to Float On, a song which always makes me feel better.
    The point? If you never walked out in front of oncoming traffic whilst drunk, I promise you were leaps and bounds more intelligent than the current students at Mizzou.
