The following are true events. Only names, places, dates, times and facts have been changed for legal purposes.
9:00AM - Off to court for a rent dispute. Instead of preparing properly just gonna play Jay-Z's guilty until proven innocent on loop.
9:30 -Worst part about court is not being allowed to tweet cause phones are supposed to be off. Oh. They saw me. Think I'm going to jail now.
10:07 - phone is confiscated. Excuse of "Why have free wi-fi if I can't use it?" does not suffice. Note taking begins. I look smarter.
10:11 - Grown man with ponytail walks into courtroom. I want to make fun of him on twitter. This is not possible at the time.
10:13 - informs me I'm not allowed to "Approach the bench, object, or yell 'THIS WHOLE COURTROOM IS OUT OF ORDER'."
10:15 - I learn judge will be female. I unbutton the top 3 buttons on my shirt.
10:17 - I see said judge. Swiftly rebutton shirt.
10:18 - Bored. Decide to nap. can handle this.
10:19 - I am awoken. Rudely. Decide court looks way more fun on Harvey Birdman.

10:33 - Guy next to me's phone goes off. I snitch. Immediately. Gotta get on judge's good side.
10:38 - I pass a note around to see if anyone wants to cuddle afterwards.
10:43 - One taker. Whatever happens the day will not be a complete loss.
10:48 - Spot TV hanging in corner of courtroom. Ask if we can put Sportscenter on so I could see the Top 10.
10:52 - I miss the Top 10.
10:57 - Begin to play Tic Tac Toe with . He wins 3 times. Fuck tic tac toe.

11:07 - Attempt 1 to start the wave was unsuccessful. Court sucks.
11:09 - Contemplates how weird it would be if sign over judge actually read "In God We Thrust"
11:15 - Reminds self to ask judge "if anything said in the court of law can be used against me in the court of law" She will laugh.
11:17 - Woman enters court w/ baby. I am jealous. I should've brought a baby. Would have got me sympathy.
11:18 - Baby begins crying. I am no longer jealous.
