There’s only three days left for the Members Project. If you have an American Express card, go vote for Kiva, Loans That Change Lives, at the Members Project. Right now they’re in third place, just 1500 votes short of second place. 1500 is nothing!

Worst writing in an online traffic school: gotaticket.com
Granted, the price was only $13, but I’d almost be willing to pay the extra $7 for some better writing and editing. On top of the poor writing, organization, and redundancy, they’ve decided to embed a bunch of trivia in their paragraphs. Some kind of crude copy-protection scheme?
Neighborhoods of Rome
We’re planning a short trip to Rome. Is there a particular neighborhood that you’d recommend for hotels? We’d prefer something with decent street life day and night, and good food.
Three percent
Here’s the silver lining to the whole sluggish economy thing: the interest rate on my Stafford loans have gone from 7.22% to 4.21%. That’s lower than the rate on any of my other debt. It sounds like I can consolidate the two loans and therefore lock in the lower interest rate. For those of you who have done this before, is there anything I need to look out for when doing a student loan consolidation?
Seven!
Thanks, F-Train. But I noticed one of the things missing from your list of seven things about you was the origin of Asphynxma.
Moving on…
1. Whenever we passed a 7-Eleven in the car, my brother used to announce that he was going to say “Seven” to mark the occasion. Upon hearing this, I would shout “Seven!” to my great amusement and his great distress. I still take pleasure in the psychological suffering of others today.
2. I was student body president of my elementary school. I did not use the veto or pardon powers one might associate with the office.
3. I went to Beverly Hills High School, but never had the opportunity to bitch-slap neither Brenda nor Brendon, as they were fictional characters. Nor did I stalk Angelina Jolie Voight, whom I have recently concluded is a fictional character in her own right.
4. I wasted most of my college years online figuring out this Internet-thingy. All of my real jobs are a direct result of that time-wasting. Now I help today’s college kids to waste time looking at girls online. I expect that in ten years the most prolific pornographers and Peeping Toms will owe me some thanks, and a few photos.
5. The Internet wasn’t the reason I was suspended from college my senior year, but it did give me something to do.
6. I’ve taken the MCAT, LSAT, and GMAT, and applied to medical school, law school, and business school, but I am not a doctor, laywer, nor douchebag. Okay, maybe I am the latter, but I didn’t learn it in school for $40k a year!
7. I think MySpace sucks. My job is to make it suck less.
And I tag…
Because they are either mysterious, secretive, or infrequent posters (thus ending this tagging nonsense).
And…
Because he still reminds me of Robert Wagner.
And finally…
Because her writing makes me happy.
