sensory overload

i'm going out of my mind at work today. the phone won't shut up, the radio is way too loud, everybody's yelling and god knows WHAT they're doing back there with the steel.
AH! everybody just be quiet for a minute, yeah?

i think the chp is out to get me. lately i'll be driving and they get right behind me and stalk me. ever since i got my ticket last august, i've been driving like a saint. the fastest i'll ever go on the highway is 70, and more often than not i'm only going 67 or 68. needless to say, i'm one of the slowest drivers out there. they're just out to get me! i was driving to work in la jolla, and i was doing exactly, precisely 65 (cruise control) and this chp officer comes out of nowhere and drives like, RIGHT behind me. people were zooming by on either side and i just didn't know what he wanted. he followed me for quite a while at a very uncomfortable distance and finally i just left the highway because i didn't want him to invent a reason to give me a ticket. and today on my way to work, this officer kept driving behind me then to the side of me just staying right around me...while, once again, people were zooming by. i'm not exaggerating when i say this has happened 6 times lately. i used to be a complete speed demon, and the chp always left me alone. there were many times they just drove right by me. now that i'm actually driving at the speed limit they decide to harass me? what the hell? it's very strange. i have a theory that i need to remove my obama sticker from my car. maybe that will make a difference?

i really want a kindle from amazon. billie jean is one of the best songs ever. robin finck's twitter is utterly useless. i need my tax return $$$. can't believe it's march and the kings are still in the playoff hunt.

ok i have a theory! i think it's because the police aren't used to seeing people who drive like right exactly at the speed limit. so they think if you are driving like that then you must be doing something else wrong (that doesn't necessarily have to do with driving) so they don't notice you.

haha. good theory?

that could be right. whatever it is, it sucks. i am so lame and don't commit any crimes so they should definitely leave me alone. RUDE!
