Don't You Call Me Your Friend, Or On The Phone. Don't You Dare When You're Alone. Just 'Cause You're Lonely Don't Mean That You're In Love No More...

So I'm terribly sorry for the huge span of time without any posts. My life has been incredibly busy, and I've just been fairly unable to post.


So let me try to update you on major occurrences that took place (or occurred, if I may) during my absense. I left you just before I attended an Andrew Bird concert. Which was magical. And then about an hour after the show, I was in the general vicinity of the theater, and I saw Andrew Bird. Naturally, I had no choice but to run up to him and sputter out something along the lines of "you're...oh wow...you're...this is crazy...you're Andrew Bird."

He looked at me strangely and responded, "yeah, I'm Andrew Bird."

"I just saw your concert, and it was ridiculously epic."

He smiled and goes "oh really? I'm glad to hear it."

We then chatted for several minutes, and he then looks at me and goes "Well, I'm supposed to meet up with a few old friends, but would you like an apple? It's organic and really good." He then held out the apple that he was holding. And no, it didn't seem strange at all.

"I'd like nothing more." So I took it from him, I hugged him (and yeah, he totally hugged me back), and we departed. I then ate that apple, and I swear to you, it tasted like talent. And let's think about it for a second, he probably was sweating at least a little, and no doubt some of his sweat and whatnot got on that apple, meaning that I may or may not have ingested some of that talent. I should go record an album right now.


Let's see what else happened in my life. I withdrew from my physics class with one lecture left, as I was failing. Apparently they don't usually allow that to happen, but because I'm pretty cool, they accepted my petition. And I'm pretty stoked about it. Plus that meant that I finished with exams a week earlier than anticipated, and over a week before any of my roommates, which seemed to upset all of them. And I loved it.


Oh, and I made a new friend at Kroger. I was there with 7 or 8 or my amigas, super late at night (yay for 24 hour stores!), and as we were walking out, I spotted a super friendly looking (she just was, don't question it) cashier who was adding up her register or something, so she had no customers. But instead of saying anything, we just walked out.

However, when we got to the car, I said to myself "What are you doing? Go make a friend!" So I made one of the girls come back in with me, and I went up to her:

"Hey, as I was walking out a minute ago, I thought you looked super friendly, but then I walked out, but now I came back, so I think we should be friends."

smiling "Well then, let's be friends."

"No, but I mean real friends. Not just Kroger friends."

"Well how do you want to do this?"

"Oh girl please, I came up with the idea of being friends. You have to do the rest."

"Well do you have a Facebook?"

"You know I do."

So now she and I are Facebook friends. And we're totally hanging out this week. And I couldn't be happier about it.


Oh, and yesterday was my amiga's father's birthday. So she made me go shopping for his present with her, and I decided that I should probably get him something too. Naturally, I purchased him a bag of Circus Peanuts, because that's funny to me.

That night, he and I shared this convo, via text (of course we text):

Oh and timeout, he sent me this first text at 2:06 AM. I didn't question why. But I'm curious.

Amiga's Father: "I love my Circus Peanuts. Thank you sooo much. Do you recommend eating them now or letting them age for a few more years?"

Me: "haha personally, i recommend never eating them, and see if they ferment. but thats just me"

AF: "Wow there's an option I have never considered. Is it possible to get wasted on fermented circus peanuts? I should try that"

M: "im excited for it. i hear twinkies do the same thing."

AF: "In 12 years, let's have a party."

That man makes me smile.

And on the subject of Circus Peanuts, I was trying to describe them to someone at a party last night. Naturally, I described them as being gummies that were like kiwis that never ripened, but that did get thrown on the ground a lot, except that they're orange and shaped like peanuts, but then for some unknown reason, banana flavored. I think that's pretty accurate, yes? At the time, at least, it made perfect sense.


So that's been life for the past few weeks. I'm sure other things happened, but I can't remember them, so let's hope that they weren't too important.
