I Fell Down Some Stairs: A Blog in Photos

I was drunk, it was my birthday party, we got in a cake fight, I had frosting on my shoes, and I was trying to run (walk briskly; let's be honest) from the police. This is the unfortunate consequence:

Day 16:

Helpful Hint of the Day

If you are feeling dried out and want to put on some chapstick and lotion, make sure you put on the chapstick first. Otherwise, you probably won't be able to pull the lid off of the chapstick once you have lotion all over your hands. It can get ugly.

Self-Esteem

I know it shouldn't matter, but every time I see myself in someone's Top Whatever on Myspace I feel really good about myself, especially if I'm number one.

Driving to Mount Hermon

I am writing this from Smurf's computer while she takes a shower. I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with her shift key, so please excuse any missed capitalizations. On my way over here (total drive time: 6 minutes) I was having a conversation in my head - don't act like you don't do it too. In this conversation, I was being my usual hilarious and loquacious self and I made a funny joke to the boy I like. The joke in my head was so funny that I laughed out loud, then proceeded to run a red light because I was laughing so hard that I wasn't paying attention to my driving. I am basically so into myself that I cannot be bothered to submit to basic traffic safety laws. This is an all-time low.

Livin' The Dream

Coming home last night was the best thing I could have possibly done. Instead of wasting another day sitting around my room with all my friends out of town (all meaning that the three people I hang out with just happened to leave this weekend), I laid at the beach. It was probably 80 degrees and there was a nice little breeze. Is it lame that I go to the beach alone? I used to think that other people would think I had no friends, which is sort of true; I have no friends that aren't working. Double negative. Gross. This is going nowhere, I'm cutting myself off now.

So I'm Starting This Blog...

I was basically inspired by Smurf to move away from myspace and find a spot where I can talk about myself all the time without having to interact with other people. I don't really know what the point of this is, except that I blog in my head all day long and maybe it will be good for me to actually write these things down. I hope it doesn't turn out to be really emo and disgusting or else I'll be forced to delete it. I also hope someone actually reads it, because if there's no one feeding my ego, then what's the point? I guess I'll go post all my old myspace blogs on here now, but before that, one of the funniest things I have ever seen:

Have you ever kissed 4?
Probably on the forehead or the cheek or something….my love language is touch!

Whats the fondest memory you have of 10:
Ha, when we were like 4 or 5 and we played house on my kitchen floor with the rugs. So dirty, but so fun.

Why are you friends with 9?
We share a mutual love of Brother Ali, Ninja Turtles, and being loud in public. Also, we worked at Mount Hermon, but we weren't actually friends then…weird.

When's the next time you're gonna see 6?
HOPEFULLY sometime this weekend, but probably not actually until Wednesday night/Thursday.

Tell something juicy about number 15:
She won't give me back my damn green sweater.

What do you like about 8?
What DON'T I like about number 8? She's the best ever.

Is number 5 attractive?
She is a stone-cold fox. I'm totally gay for her.

What was your first impression of 7?
She looks like she belongs at Day Camp! (sorry Madeline, just being honest here…)

Physically, what stands out with 1?
She's blonde? She's got great boobs too…Greasy hair?

What was 12's comment about?
Well it's kind of a long story…She wanted to know how life was since she left our room, I told her I thought she stole my deodorant, she claimed Meagen probably took it, then we agreed that that situation was highly unlikely since Meagen doesn't wear deodorant.

When and how did you meet 3?
In seventh grade she decided she hated all her friends from elementary school and started hanging out with my elementary friends, then we realized that we were made to be best pals.

Do you think 13 could kill someone?
Oh Lord yes. That girl is hardcore!


Is 11 your best friend?
No, but I like her very much. :o)

Have you seen 3 naked?
Well if you total together all of the times I've seen her partially dressed while changing it probably adds up to naked, but never really full-frontal, which is impressive because we've been friends for like 8 years.

Have you ever had a crush on 14?
She's a girl…so yes.

Would you ever kiss 6?
I would kiss her ALL THE TIME if she weren't so touch-phobic.


Do you think 2 has a crush on you?
No, she has a crush on her black friend, Nick.

Who do you spend the most time with?
Meagen or Smurfy when I'm home. Most online time spent with Squirt.
