chap stick!

[chestnutcurls]

So has anyone seen The Mothman Prophecies? Anyone think it was funny when the devil moth man says "Chap Stick" in the most evil tone imaginable? Well, my friends and I sure did. We've been saying it to each other all weekend. You'd think it would get old to me by now, but I'm finding it increasingly funny the more we say it.

I had an action packed Labor Day weekend, which, for the most part, was good. I hung out with Kathy, Jamie, Ryan, and my sister. (Evan impulsively went to Somerville to go mudding, so he missed all our activities.) We went to the football game, which was great since we won 52-6. :) The game prompted the exciting news that my sister, who enters college next year, is considering Memphis! Until now she's had the same attitude I had at her age (U of M was lame and shouldn't be touched with a 10-foot pole). But many of her old high-school friends are now in the Memphis band, and after coming to the game and seeing them all, she seems eager to come here. (Or stay here, as the case may be.) I never thought this would happen, and I'm very happy about it. :)

Other high points of the weekend were the big sale at the Gap (where I spent far too much money), a trip to Baskin-Robbins (where we laughed so much over our game of "Which of These Things Is Not Like The Other: The Verbally Abusive Version" that other patrons thought we were nuts), a trip to IHOP (where Ryan kept slamming his broken cell phone onto the table and scaring everyone), and a swim in the pool at the guys' apartment complex (where I got slightly burned after only an hour). I also scanned a lot of pictures at the school computer lab, courtesy of Kathy's ID and Ryan's password. :) I want to make pages for the pictures, but after my last disastrous attempt, I don't know that it's possible for me to put pictures online. :P

So it was a good weekend, and then it all sort of came to a grinding halt and I'm not feeling very happy. I am going to listen to my new Jimmy Fallon The Bathroom Wall CD later, and see if that does me any good. :)

PS- I forgot to mention that I lost several hours of sleep IMing with Jessica, which was very fun. :)

Slamming a broken cell phone on a table? Oh my gosh, that's hilarious and guess what? I have a broken cell phone sitting in my car! I so need to that and freak people out!

Also, why are you not happy? What can I do to help?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I started to tell you about it the other night and then I got sidetracked with the elephant story. :) Every time he slammed it, it would come on briefly and then die again, so he kept doing it. You should so do it, and then act totally normal, like you're just having a spasm or something. :)

I'm not gonna say much here about the not happy. It doesn't have anything to do with boys acting jerky toward me, so that's good, but it's still sort of disconcerting. :P

I'm glad you have a good holiday weekend. And I understand the feeling of being close to a sibling. My brother is a little closer now in NYC then he was in San Fran. It would be great if I could go grad school at the same place he goes for undergrad but I just can not wait for him to go. Last he said in a few years he would try to get into Brown in RI. He is a ballet Dancer so I do understand him putting off college then again I just do not want him to put if off to long and follow my path.

I'll help you if you want get you pictures on a page :)

I noticed your current mood and wanted to let you know that your post made me :) and if you need to rant at someone my email box tells me thats always welcome.

A ballet dancer! That's so cool! Is he with a company? Have you seen Center Stage? If not, you need to. The dancing in it is incredible.

Thanks for the support. :) I would welcome your help with the pictures. I put them on the page and link them and upload them to the server, like I'm supposed to, and it still never works. I don't know if it's my program or what.
