It’s only the second week of school and I’m too freaking busy to write complete sentences or coherent paragraphs. Have some list!
- Last night on a hike we (sister, niece and I) had our first bear incident. We didn’t see it…but heard it growl from 30 feet away. Back in the parking lot we talked to some nice mountain bikers who saw a black bear close to where we heard the growling. SCARY!
- When I related the story to my mother she asked, “Nice mountain bikers? Like give-them-your-phone-number nice?”
- I slept like total shit last night.
- Today I fell asleep while taking notes in class.
- I scheduled a few night classes in hope of meeting adults. That hope has died. If I want to meet adults in school I’m going to have to move to another state.
- 7:00am class + night class = MY OWN PERSONAL HELL
- There is a girl in one of my classes so young I could be her MOTHER.
- If the teenage newlyweds (who just married 3 weeks ago) trace shapes on each other’s back and tongue kiss at the end of class this week I’m going to throw my text book at them.
- If you don’t yet read Cake Wrecks, get your ass over there. It is concentrated awesome.
- I find it irritating when I have to click through my reader to read a complete blog post.
- Bummed out that my trip to the bay area next month will be less than 72 hours. And that one of my BFFs will be out of town. WAH.
- Sofa king broke right now that I’m contemplating buying tampons at the dollar store.*
- Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams reunited? This makes me way happier than is probably healthy.
- The Show Me Your Genitals video is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. GENITALIA!
*Did I really just admit this to the internets?
2. Can’t stop laughing! Only your mom.
5. The only adults in night classes I’ve seen are old enough to be my parents. You don’t have to move out of state, you just have to attend a different college. At least that’s what I keep telling myself. I’ll let you know next semester if that’s the case.
10. Mine is like that. Sorry. It’s the only way to track insane stalkers IP info. I figure if people want to read it won’t kill them to click through.
Maybe you’ve signed up for the wrong kind of classes. Wink wink. I mean there have to be classes designed for meeting adults. Perhaps an html class would yield better results? Man, that was a low blow. Sorry.
I also find it irritating when I have to click through to read a whole blog post. You know what it means, though: if they don’t hook me in the first paragraph, I don’t even bother.
I agree as well about clicking through on the reader. I find that (especially when I’m busy or taking a super quick blog break) I just don’t bother.
And, ditto, about Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. They are too super cute together!
I just spent 20 minutes I don’t have looking at cake wrecks…and I was also stupidly excited about Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. I think I need help.
Rachel and Ryan reunited brought tears to my eyes.
5. What about cute, younger guys? I’d think the younger they are, the more stamina they’d have. Not that that’s actually any reflection on me as a full grown adult male. Nope, no reflection at all.
10. Mine’s also like that, but then again, my blog is all about fairy tales, not about sharing my deepest, darkest nightmares. Unless, of course, you’re a shrink/psych major, then I’m sure you’d be able to pick them apart and deliver back to me my deepest, darkest nightmares. On a silver platter, no less!
What are teenage newlyweds doing in CLASS?? I mean, they can’t be learning anything, their hormones are too ramped-up for them to retain any knowledge. And tampons from the dollar store sound scarier than the bear!
The thing that scares me more than the time and money involved in going back to school is the fact that there are likely going to be kids a decade younger than myself in my classes – freaky. I usually don’t feel old until I’m surrounded by the little ankle biters…
2. Your mom is hilarious. (Particularly because she is YOUR mom and not mine.)
5. I think Dick makes a good point. Don’t forget: we’re told that men hit their sexual peak much earlier than women. It could be a good time for you to do some experimenting. You know… in the name of science.
10. Word.
12. Does it make me dim-witted if I had to think about that first part? Don’t answer that.
Too bad you aren’t close enough to go to WSU. There were tons of grown ups going there when I went to school. The only drawback is that is in Ogden. Actually, there is a good part of Ogden, apparently. Lots of bars on 25th street with ghosts!
I just barely saw The Notebook. I think I actually got teary at the end.
I wish that I had a bear encounter while camping last weekend. A girl can dream.
Maybe this whole meeting/dating adults is not all it’s cracked up to be. I mean just think about it… Think about all the fuck faces we’ve met. And THEY were adults. Maybe we should get creative and crazy and start going for some young ones. Maybe we can catch them early enough and train and mold them into our perfect little mates.
I’m not sure about this Cake Wrecks thing but I’m on my way to check it out.
What worries me is that this whole “click through my reader” talk, well, I have no idea what you’re talking about. HOLY SHIT, I’m turning into my mom. I’m thinking that one of our future girl dates needs to consist of you giving me a little tutorial. Cuz I ain’t too smurt.
The R&R news would be exciting if I didn’t hate people and have renounced love.
And yes, that is the greatest video of all time.

[...] Peeps ← Lists, lists, LISTS! [...]
Sarah,
I’m very curious about the possibility of meeting adults.
egan,
You mean I’m not going to meet a lot of men in women’s studies and early childhood development?
Sra,
Lately I’m too pressed with time to have another page load.
Tiffany,
It made my day much happier when I read about R&R!
punchlinewalking,
Cake Wrecks is a work and glory.
sdragoc,
I knew it would!
Dick Barsky,
Cute younger guys could be a possibility…I just don’t know if I have the patience to train one.
J.,
I was SO happy when I got to class last night and the newlyweds weren’t there! YAY!
Ginny,
I’m in school with kids who don’t even know where they were or what they were doing on 9/11. One of them said it just didn’t effect her life. Holy fucking scary.
Stefanie,
Have you ever been with a younger guy? It’s been awhile…and this guy wasn’t that much younger than me (at the time)…but let’s just say that if I were to have the same interaction with him now I’d probably need another back surgery.
The Grunt,
If all the kids I’m in school with in Utah’s “city” are married and freaky religious, I can only imagine the horror I would find outside of SLC.
meggypoo,
I think you’re on to something…because the adults I’ve been dating have the emotional maturity of a rock.
Let’s do a little internets tutorial for you during our Sunday date? Maybe we should meet at a coffee shop before? Which would actually be perfect for me because I have HELLA homework.
5. It is truly awesome (as in, awe-inspiring, not just a platitude) that you are taking this on. I applaud your bravery. Push on, sister – just get through it.
9. Ohhhhh – Wrecks is funny! Especially this entry: http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2008/08/cakes-for-all-ocassions.html. Thanks for sharing the sheer joy of it all.
12. I feel your pain. When I started law school I was crabbing to an older friend of the family who was visiting from out of state, about how hard it was going to be to economize and stuff for three years. That night, after school, I found a CASE of tampons on my front doorstep, with a ‘good luck in law school’ note. A sincerely memorable moment.
The biggest problem with teenage Utahrd newlyweds, is that they’re the assholes who are grandparents by the age of 36. WTF?
Watch out for bears. Have you seen any tarantulas?
Red Flashlight,
Cake Wrecks really is awesome! I think I want a sexual harassment cake for my next birthday.

Amy,
So far the only tarantula I’ve seen was dead, inside of a glass case in a science laboratory.
