As Graham might say:

so i just back back from hanging out with graham's hamline crew. yesterday it was little nicky krongard's birthday and i followed graham to a shin-dig at the olive garden with carly, melissa, alyssa, the great john gordon of stillwater, anna, ingrid, monika, monika's friend anne, someone i'm forgetting, and nicky himself. there was hilarity and conversation all around, and by 'all-around' I mean 'confined to specific areas of the table', because we were at a monstrously large table and no one wanted to shout, except carly, who i think was the one calling for pan-table unity. her favorite food, which i will remember until i die, is ice cream, a vague cop-out answer if i've ever heard one.

just kidding carly; you and melissa earned my respect with that "hey good-looking" comment, back before i'd worked my crazy-creepy mojo on y'all, as they say. just wait until you meet manney.

after that excitement, we went to see the brittany spears movie -but not that transvestite brittany spears movie from sundace, no sir, we saw Crossroads. not since graham, manney, erin, and i saw The Skulls have so many laughed so long over so little. of course, the people in front of us were offended, as usual, but graham and i are hilarious and misunderstood. i'm glad everyone there thought that miscarriages were hilarious. also, i believe we laughed at a date-rape related comment, at some point. we're all going to burn for this, you know.

after that, well, those hamline kids, they do so many things they never stop. we sang happy birthday for krongard, and cake was involved. melissa and joel, that guy who tried (unsuccessfully) to steal "as it were" from me, left, and it was down to nick, carly, graham, and myself. we talked about stillwater people, and brainerd people, and hamline people, and either we ran out of people to talk about or we got tired. i forget.

This morning, I woke up, looked through John's stuff, and waited for Graham to wake up while I read The World's 60 Greatest Conspiracies. Apparently they 'sleep in' over at Hamline on weekends, and three hours later we were off to brunch. Now I know all about the Bavarian Illuminati. Thanks, anynomous hack!

I stayed longer than I had planned this morning, in order to have brunch with Graham and Carly, then I was off. I'm home right now, slowly realizing how exciting Brainerd actually is. Although I will see some movie with September tonight, so thats cool. Well, off to call her. Later.
