Alright, now that we've set the mood, here are some things.
Today I was eating lunch at Panera (some things never change...) and next to me was 5 or six businessmen eating lunch on their break. They were probably between the ages of 28-34. I could hear their conversation quite clearly, and when I realized it was about a love interest, the ears perked up. It was SO cute, I'm not going to lie. They were giving one of the guys advice on a woman he was interested in. From what I could gather, she was leaving soon or had a layover here for a short time or SOMETHING that had to do with an airport, because of the guys said, "Go to the airport and stop her from leaving!" Another said, "Yeah! It works in all the RomComs!"
Two friends from Minnesota came this past weekend. It was so much fun because I had an excuse to be a tourist and do touristy things. Except when one is a girl and one is a boy, you are guaranteed either said boy or said girl will be a puddle of boredom at some point of the day. Don't you hate this? When you're responsible for plans that keep everyone happy? It's a tough job. Goodness. Anyway, I think it turned out well. Minus the shoe shopping.
Today I had my African American history class. It's about a 25 person class, and I'd say 5 of us are white. Anyway, it's always a very discussion oriented class with some very opinionated people. I'm usually more timid about my thoughts, because I know less about where they came from and what kind of environment they grew up in, ya know? Well today I was the one who knew what NAACP stood for. I think I got major props for this.
Anyway, I'm writing a 15 page cultural ethnography on Nerdfighters as a culture. We're supposed to do a culture we can physically go to a location and observe, but I made a case for the overwhelming online presence of Nerdfighters. So I might be observing ya'll. o_0
What I think:
Boots are way too expensive.
What I know:
I am starting to get nervous for my brewers.
There was so much more, I know it. I can't remember. I'll talk sooon then.
OH MY GOSH. Brad went to the Brewers game last Sunday and he's at the one tonight and I can't believe as of this moment its so tied and super stressful! But I think they can do it. Hopefully.
ReplyDeleteAnyway. Boots are too expensive. And your class sounds interesting. And I find it awesome and hilarious that you picked Nerdfighters as a culture, because that type of thing would never occur to me. :)
p.s. I love your new header thing. You always have such cute/pretty headers. It makes me jealous. I wish my blog looked this classy.
ReplyDeleteI always love to hear guys talk about girls. I've realized that maybe we aren't so different from each other...
ReplyDeleteI agree boots are too expensive. But I love them so much. It's a terrible dilemma.
That's so cooool! I would love to read an excerpt from that paper!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love to eavesdrop on guys. Love. It's always so interesting and funny to me. A lot of the time you can tell they aren't completely comfortable talking to each other as there are a lot of silent pauses. This usually happens when waiting for a class to begin and after the sports topic has already been exhausted. And other times you can do nothing but smile because when you picture men talking to each other you never picture it like it actually is! Or at least I don't.
Ahh I'm not making any sense anymore. Please excuse this ramble.
