the pinellas county sheriff's office is mocking me. i'm on hold, and there's all these fantastic messages about spaghetti dinners and bike-a-thons and oh how the explorers are so wonderful, and then it sounds like someone is picking up...

"thank you for continuing to hold! so please remain on the line and we will be with you shortly!"

i have been on hold for THIRTY THREE MINUTES.

*sigh*

meanwhile, people look at me funny when i say i am going to miami to see the dalai lama. shutup people
