I was doing pretty darn well if I do say so myself until one distinct little sentence floated into my ear hole. Now, had the Virginian not looked up at me on the verge of bursting out in laughter, I probably would have been able to hold it together somewhat...but I feel a little better about myself because as the days have passed, I'm pretty much 110% convinced that anyone with even a minimal sense of humor would laugh at the following in the same or a similar situation:
"Take off your clothes, but leave your shorts on."
Mmmm okay, looking at it now I'm not nearly as convinced that the majority of humans would find that hilarious...but considering it just arose out of practically nothing made it that much better. There were a few other additional winning statements including, but not limited to:
- "I only crossed my legs for like a second, but then it fell asleep!"
- "Yeah, at this concert in Detroit they even felt under your bra."
- "Pregnant."
- "Salazar?! That's my name!!"
Hopefully there is a soul out there that is moderately entertained by such bilingual nonsense. I never quite understood why we learned some of the things we did in Spanish...such as 'pilotar una avioneta' (yes, to fly a single engine plane)...but apparently Spanish isn't the only language that teaches things someone will never use in real life...English does it too!
In other news...
- I have reinstated my presence on the world of Twitter. Attending all of these communications speaking events has convinced me it's a bit of a necessity. Besides, finals are creeping up at a rapid speed and it'll give me one more internet outlet to procrastinate. Necessary? Not at all, but it's going to be fine.
- Allergies are a bit crazy today...probably shouldn't be sitting outside on the porch, but I can't help but take advantage of the weather while it's possible...ya never do know with this crazy state surrounded by lakes. Haven't yet broken my record of...I think seventeen sneezes in a row from years past...I only let about nine fly this morning. One of which was a hicc-eeze. Sneeze and hiccup at the same time (don't try this at home, it's not the most comfortable way to start off the day).
- Street cleaners are practically taking over the downtown area lately. I acknowledge that I used to be mildly obsessed with street cleaners when I was younger and got some weird thrill from driving behind them at a snail pace watching those giant bristly spinners do their job...but I've come to wonder...why in the world do they exist?! Why must we "clean the street?" Its not like it sparkles after they blow by at 5 m.p.h., nor do we (or I suppose, I) plan on eating off of the asphalt any time soon, it's definitely not thorough...it leaves about four measly lines of wetness, they're really quite noisy, they hold up traffic, and the street doesn't even look different post-cleansing. I'm legitimately curious about this, so perhaps I shall Google it!
- Waking up at the butt crack of dawn to deliver the parentals to the airport definitely wasn't at the top of my voluntary to-do list, but the task was completed with success.
- Big Brother Skeletor is competing in the triathlon nationals with his gaggle of U of Illinois comrades this weekend in the great state of Texas...so good luck to all of them! Hopefully they pull out a great success, because as we all full well know, everything's bigger in Texas! That was dumb. I apologize. I seriously couldn't come up with anything better.
- Finally, I smell either Blimpy Burger in all its glory or someone is grilling hamburgers right now and I can't even pretend like I'm not jealous of some stranger's impending red meat consumption...
That is all! Enjoy this glorious Spring day to all my fellow Ann Arborites and T.G.I.F. to the rest of the blog reading community!
