I took gasoline out of my dad's lawnmower to fill up my car just enough so that it wouldn't die on the way to my therapy session. Then I had to make a co-payment of $5.20 to my therapist, and I asked if there was any way I could give him an I.O.U. He really had a good laugh at that one.

Not weird, really, just incredibly desperate...going to the campus Career Fair, pretending to be job-hunting, just so I could pick up the free mugs, keychains, candy, etc.

Butt Hunting. Fishing through the ashtray for butts that have a little tobacco left, and fighting off friends for the "good" ones.
