happy hauntings

last night i tried and tried to persuade my friends that Cowboy Mouth was really cool and that we should partake in the free fun that was sure to be abound at the concert. they, however, were "busy" and had to "do homework." boo i say to them. because i went to that concert with about 50 other Tulanians and it rocked. it rocked so hard that i had to put my hair up. it rocked so hard that even the stoned guy was clapping by the end. we were all on our feet, clapping and screaming and smiling. and for the final bit ("Jenny Says") we all got on stage with the band and had to scream with Ozzy hands in the air "Let it go let it go let it go" as if we were having an explosive orgasm. for real, a law professor got up and ordererd us to do this. it kicked ass.

in other news, my dorm is having a haunted house in the unoccupied half of my dorm. i was helping to decorate it the other day and i was seriously getting freaked out because all of the rooms are decorated according to true JL history. the basement was a morgue, the third floor "deep" was an infirmary and the singles along side it were quarantine rooms for malaria victims. they had to have a staircase that went straight from the basement to the 3rd floor because when the girls died they had to bring them straight to the morgue. and we have a ghost-- Gladys. And Josephine Louise, our namesake, had her birthday on October 31.

when i was putting up some faux cobwebs, i asked if they had already done the cobwebbed corner i was about to web. "no, that was just there." yeah, we're that hardcore that we have REAL spiderwebs.

oh yeah, and i bought 3 1/2 inch gold glittered heels for my halloween costume.

do you have a best friend that is as cool as mine?

remember how when you were little you could just go up to a random person and ask if they wanted to be your friend and they wouldn't get creeped out? in college it is much the same way. I have discovered that most people are desperate for friends. that is precisly how I came upon my best friend.

it all started out with an innocent little trip to the mcalister market for grapes for my friend liz after TU at the Zoo. when my friend jamie left on her own, i made a comment about how she should try not to get raped and this random guy thought it was funny so we started talking. a few days later, i discovered that he was in one of my classes. as time went on, we continued to hand out a little bit. then i hit him with the big question. or it was really more of a statement. it went something like this: "so, i've decided that we're going to be best friends." and he didn't run away or throw things at me or make faces so i figured that we were off to a good start.

now we see each other a few times a week and we have all sorts of best friend jokes. for instance, i always joke that he and his room mate like to tell each other how pretty they are. and then there's those "yo momma" jokes. but, i'm getting off track... my point is that my best friend, his roomie, and my friend and i had a double feature of The Exorcist and Pulp Fiction this fine evening after dinner at bruff. then during pulp fiction, he and my friend got us some food from the big easy cafe. midnight cheese fries. mmm mmm good. so, do you have anything on me and my best friend?
