note to self: When attending a Halloween party thrown by college graduates, do not expect their adult friends to recognize that you are dressed as an old school TGIF character.
I was supposed to work tonight. But the renters never showed up, so we gave them a call and peaced out. With this newfound freedom, I could now attend Anne and Dana's costume party. The only things was, I had no costume. So I did a little borrowing from the roommates and created the first thing that came to mind.
conversation of the night: person in their late 20's: And what are you? me: I'm Topanga Lawrence, from Boy Meets World. person in their late 20's: Oh...I've never heard of that. me: Um...it was a TV show in the mid-90's. It was pretty good. person in their late 20's: So what is that, a target on your face? me: No, she did this...interpretive dance about the ozone layer. And, put lipstick on her face.
So, the pop culture reference was mostly lost. Whatever, I had 20 minutes to throw together a costume, and I definitely enjoyed it. You know what they say - every time you're not true to yourself, the earth weeps.
I miss freshman year Maryland. And I hope you get your sign.
So I found this website when playing this game on a related one. I am easily distracted from more important things.
I like the idea of sending a message out into the universe and getting one back. So this is what I sent out:
My first graders and I will grow beans in a few days, but I'm doing a trial run at home, and my beans haven't started sprouting yet.
Don't get your hopes up, kids. Never get your hopes up.
And then this is what I got back:
I miss freshmen year Ohio State. God please just give me a sign.
update: It has been brought to my attention that this post is misleading. Let me assure you that I always encourage kids to hope for things. That was just a little sarcasm. And I would never ever crush kids' dreams on purpose. Let's all pray I don't do it by accident as I am currently being jaded by the public school system. Also, the beans have sprouted roots.
After this post last year, things went downhill fairly quickly. They were not the team players I had hoped for. Failing school, dropping out, thinking they could easily make it into the NBA after a season like that...things did not look good. After three years of loyal support through thick and thin, I gave up on the team.
Once again, I am no fair weather fan. I'll support you through all your rididculous losses, but when your attitude is terrible and you can't even be a team anymore or stay in school, I have no patience for that. So just as one unnamed player was burning down my apartment building, I realized how incredible the women's team was, and I vowed to be a fan.
So this year, I was not at all excited for the men's team during Maryland Madness, but rather to support the women at the beginning of a new season. But then I realized...it's a whole new team. There are tons of freshmen, and they looked like they were having fun on the court last night. I can't hold a grudge against last year's senior dropouts. The Terps are starting fresh. They have my support.
Now this does not mean that I've dropped the women. If I have to decide between going to men's games and going to women's games, I'll go to the women's, because they have earned it. But I no longer hold a grudge against the men's team, as long as they have fun this year. And it looks like they will.
and the other day she accused me of stealing her peanut butter
Alexis:Man, you really love dessert. Anna:...Yes. Earlier today, you called me the Queen of Naps. Whatever, I love naps, and I love food. I guess I'm just lazy and eating all the time. Alexis:I guess you're just passionate!
So, I wanted to get a picture of Jesus' head falling onto Hilary Faye's van, because that is one of my absolute favorite parts of the movie. Ask me about it if you want to know why.
