Remember that list I started a thousand years ago? I’m still working my way through it, and lately, doing a pretty good job of it:

7. Go Camping. 10.6.07

 

This was something that was supposed to have been completed back in July, but my job at the time ruined that party bigtime. But God smiled upon Meagan and I, and two of my favorite concepts – pirates and camping – were combined on one outrageous evening in the woods dressed like Stripes Blackboot, partying with really drunk Renassaince workers. Punishment Burger, this one’s for you.

14. Get a NetFlix account. 10.11.07

Now if I could just figure out where to grab the code of my Queue.

20. Mail Katie’s damn blanket. 10.20.07

As Meagan says, this blanket became an enigma wrapped in a mystery shrouded in time. I have no idea how I managed to hang on to this blue wool blanket for as long as I did (over a year). It got sent back to me twice, which makes me question who the real owner is. In conclusion, Katie had to drive 8 hours to get the furry thing back. *tear*

27. Go Hiking. 7.31.07

42. Grow my hair long. October 07

It only took me 6 years to get it looking hippie.

How to get a blank stare

An actual conversation I had at a bookstore tonight: 

Casanova: What magazine you looking at?
Me: (shows magazine, turns back)
Casanova: Oh, I thought you’d be reading ‘Heavy Metal Weekly’ or something.
Me: Er.. not yet.
Casanova: Not yet huh? (Nervous laughter)
Casanova: … so you’re not from around here, I know it.
Me: Hmmm, yeah sorta.
Casanova: Well I am. Live right down the street, actually. So what do you do?
Me: I’m a graphic designer.
Casanova: Wow.
(awkward pause)
Me: You?
Casanova: I’m an ass model.
Me: Excuse me..?!
Casanova: An ass model. Like for films. Did you see the last Paul Walker movie?
Me: No…?
Casanova: That ass was me.
Me: Right, okay. (scooting away, looking for exit)
Casanova: Nah, I’m just kidding. I work at Abercrombie in the mall.

(I pretend to see someone I know, wander away)

A couple things. Gripes, really.

1. Those companies or persons who classify movies as ‘comedies’ if their main star is a well-known comedian. Example: Jim Carrey does not make ‘Eternal Sunshine’ into a comedy. It’s called a dramatic turn! And a good one, too! If you want him peeing into a beer bottle and giving it to a cop, go elsewhere.

2. They just MURDERED off my favorite subplot in Prison Break because someone went and got real-life pregnant. Whatever happened to graceful endings? Why you gotta break my heart with a bloody head in a box?!
