Sharing The Gilmore Love

August 13, 2007

If you don’t know this about me, then you need to: I am a die-hard fan of Gilmore Girls. I am not ashamed because it is an excellent show. Even my brother admits it. Anyway, I was vaguely aware that my new roommate, Courtney, had a distaste for the show, but I suppose I chose to block it out of my memory because I didn’t want to believe it. The other night we were sitting at the dinner table and she said, “I’ve been eyeing your Gilmore Girls DVDs lately,” and she had this look on her face as if she was about to confess to me that she prostitutes herself at night once we’ve gone to sleep. “Have you…

Overheard Waiting For The Bus

August 2, 2007

Weekend Trip to Lubbock

April 30, 2007

Well, it was a quick trip but I’d say it was definitely worth it. We left at 6 a.m. on Saturday morning. I was sitting in the back seat. I pretty much slept for the first few hours. I meant to only sleep until it got light enough outside to study, but it’s just very hard for me to stay awake in the car. Eventually I got my textbook out and started to read. Then after a short while of that, I began to have a strange sensation that can only be described as car-sickness. I was in denial at first, but when my mom finally insisted that I take the front seat I did not say no. Shotgun was…

A Slight Mix-Up

April 19, 2007

Remember how my brother’s name is David? And my boyfriend’s name is also David? And how that can be confusing to me at times? Take the following text message exchange as an example, which occurred just after I arrived home from spending the evening with Boyfriend. Me: I’m home…what a great day! And I got to finish it off with a little David lovin’–which is of course the best kind. :-) Brother: Oh god im not so sure i wanted to hear that Me: Hahaha that is hilarious that I sent that to you!
