Dancing in public

It is a well known fact [at least among those who find themselves within my presence for more than five minutes] that one of my deepest desires is to see real life become a musical. Can you see it? The choreographed dancing, matching/ color coordinated outfits, excessive twirling and outrageously exaggerated facial expressions??? [insert dreamy sigh here]

While this has yet to happen irl, something happened yesterday that was kinda like it acctually happened only it you know, didn't.

Yesterday, it so happens, was my friend's last day before leaving off to college, we'll call her star wars buddy [SWB for short] and so she and I [as well as two of our other friends] decided she needed to be sent off in style. First stop was the movies in which we were a good 8 to 12 minutes late to (500) Days of Summer. [Which I must say was an awesome movie.] This is where my dream kinda but didn't really come true. You see there is a moment in the movie when the lead Tom Hansen [Joseph Gordon-Levitt] walks through a park smiling exaggeratedly [think this guy] and all of a sudden you begin to realize everyone around him is in blue. Then BAM instant musical, random marching band and all. [inser barely concealed longing here] It was magical! That's what I want to happen to me someday.
MAKE IT HAPPEN!



After that we embarrassed ourselves- Oh who am I kidding?- I embarrassed myself by dancing through the parking lot seeing how many people we could catch staring, or even better, deliberately NOT staring!

Next stop was the holy grail of last minute college shopping. Yes, you guessed it. The 99 cent store. We spent a good hour browsing through stacks of Pokemon, TMNT and Hannah Montana Folders, diving into piles of Pez and fighting each other with pool noodles and plastic bats. In the end, all we bought were a bag of Ring Pops. Although! We did come close to making SWB get herself a magnetic version of Battleship for her dorm fridge!

We spent the rest of the evening laughing hysterically. At each other, at life, at the awesome that is my cat. I'm not sure how the next year is gonna go but I feel better knowing I have such awesome friends to come home to that will understand the truly awesome nature of things like spaghetti cat.

Love you guys!
