update:
I'm getting a new car. 2006 Hinda Civic Si, which comes with the following:
197 hp 2.0L 4 cylinder DOHC iVTEC (which is just a fancy way of saying it has a nice engine. 197 horsepower at 7800 rpm, the car redlines at 8000 and the gauge goes to 8500.)
6 speed close ratio transmission
Helical Limited Slip Differential (which, when you are turning, transmits more power to the wheel under the most stress and causes you to turn more efficiently at speed.)
17 inch tires
350 watt 7 speaker system w/subwoofer; optional i-pod link (which I am getting...)
a moonroof (not a big fan, really? but hey, whatever.)
amber rings around the headlights (so that when you have your parking lights on, there is an amber ring that lights up as well- kinda cool)
It has other stuff. I'm tired.
also, it looks really cool for a civic!

Top eight weirdest things found in Quik Trip Trash cans
(that I know of)
An unopened gallon of milk
a 2 foot long DISGUSTINGLY smelly fish
A box of shotgun shells; both fired and unfired rounds
A wad of one dollar bills
Three used condoms
A bra
An entire outfit (shirt, pants, socks & tie) covered in feces
A latex glove, completely covered in, well... human waste (FECAL MATTER!)....
and that's all for now!

and the icing on the cake
yeah, my other post kind of wound on for a while. I'm really kinda tired, so I rambled.
I'm saving for a car, and I just got a new pair of converse shoes. Charcoal. that's all for now.
Converse shoes are the best thing that ever happened to this universe. Ever.

Pennies for my thoughts
so here's the breakdown (the as it stands of my life.): I work a lot at QuikTrip, hang out with Tracy, and hang out with Randy. I actually probably could find some time to be online, but I just haven't been online lately. Thought I'd make a post to catch everyone up to the important (and not so important things in my life.
I really like my job at QuikTrip. it pays incredibly well, the benefits are nice, and finally, the on-the-job benefits are really cool. By on the job benefits, I mean it's really cool when 7 indian head pennies manage to show up in your till in one night.
The Indian head penny was circulated from 1859 until 1909, and they really aren't all that common today. When the Lincoln wheat cent replaced them in 1909, People started to collect them. The odds of finding one single indian head penny in any cash drawer in the year 2006 are probably about the same as scratching a $2,000 winner in the lottery. You get way more money out of the ticket, but it's just darn cool to find something that rare!
These indian head cents weren't just randomly in the till, either. They were coming out of bank wrapped penny rolls- rolls of coins that, within the last month, were wrapped and sealed by a machine at a bank. You should never, EVER find an indian head penny in circulation. Oh, it could happen, daddy's lucky penny is sitting up on the dresser and billy just can't help himself, he needs a penny for his five-cent gum. But it shouldn't happen. Anyway, I got side tracked.
What I more or less figure is that somebody went down to the bank with a huge quantity of old pennies (I found 21 wheat pennies on the same night) and said "hey, I wanna deposit this junk."
The bank probably took a look and said, "what? old pennies? fine, whatever." Now, at this point I would (as a bank employee) go to my savings account, withdraw the couple hundred bucks that the guy brought in, and just buy all the pennies from him personally. But probably the employees sorted through, picked out the good stuff, and then threw the rest into the sorter. Probably what happened.
Then one of the boxes that contained these messed up rolls of pennies got to my store. The entire series of events occured when Nathan found an indian head the day before- and then dustin in the evening when I arrived. When I realized that it wasn't random customers coming in and paying with indians, I started opening rolls. That is, at 4:30 in the morning, when I banged open a roll of pennies, and 2 indian heads fell out, I guessed that something was up.
I'd say that the entire thing was so situationally improbable that I might as well have won the lottery. It's too bad I didn't buy a powerball ticket.
