ANNA KABLAMA!

This weekend with Anna was way fun! We went to Ham's Friday night and it was tasty. Then we went around and I introduced her to my fellow hallians. She wants me to hook her up with one of them. Like a certain one. Hahahahaha. Not that she doesn't have a chance; I just think it's funny. We are a great pair, aren't we? Two incredibly desperate kids.

After we went around and did introductions, we decided with some others (with Jennica, Anne, and Alexandra) that we wanted to watch a movie. We decided on Chocolat, which we stole from Rachel so we could watch it in here. Then we decided we wanted chocolate to eat while watching it, so Anne drove us all to Harris Teeter in Carrboro. We bought chocolate and coffees. Mmmm, tasty! It was a fun time.

So then we watched Chocolat, and Leo came in every now and then. He wasn't really interested in the movie, though, so he'd go check out what others were doing periodically. The movie was okay--I wouldn't necessarily call it one of my favorites, but it was okay. It was satisfying as a late Friday night movie.

We went to bed at five because we didn't really do anything else except talk. We did have lots of fun doing that, though. But we were WAY dead Saturday. I think the football game was less hype for us because of that. It was still a whole huge bunch of fun, though. Of course I took pictures. Maybe I should get a webshots thing so that people other than college students can see my pictures. Hmmm.... Just so you know, that ellipsis has four periods because it's the end of a sentence. Not that "Hmmm" is a sentence, but it serves as one in this situation. An ellipsis is only ever three or four periods, never any fewer or any more. There is no need, when one desires to be grammatically correct, to put lots and lots of periods in an ellipsis. When the ellipsis is included in the sentence, but does not end it, it is composed of three periods. When it ends the sentence, it has four. Just so you know.

So, anyway, we won the game. It was too close for comfort, though, so it was kind of scary for a while there. I got killed with Silly String twice by Jacob, and then later on Jennica and I had a wonderful conversation about the effects Silly String has on one's temperment and behavior. It is really fascinating what that stuff can do to you. Anna and I slept after the game. We curled up in the Squirrel's Nest and took a nap while football noise from the television played in the background. Then we went to Panera with Adam Jones (for clarification purposes, not because he's a double-name kid) and Alexandra for some potato soup in a bread bowl. They didn't have bread bowls, though, so we were kind of sad.

After this, Anna and I went to the Clef Hangers concert. Hey, on the way there, by the way, we heard these crazy booming sounds. It made us kind of nervous. They sounded like a combination of gunshots and explosions and boomingness. But nothing happened so it was okay.

The Clefs concert was amazing. I think we are both ready to stalk them. Wow. They are absolutely extraordinary. Mmmmmmmmmmmm. Hooray Clefs! We were ready to date any guy who asked us out when we got out of the concert. Seriously. Well, I mean, not seriously, but if we had no reasoning abilities, heck yes, we definitely would have. Oh shoot, that was the most amazing night ever. Okay--let me just tell you about all this stuff that happened. I swear, we thought it couldn't get any better after each one of these things happened. Like we were ready to commit suicide because we couldn't even dream this stuff up. Seriously. Well, I mean, not seriously, but if we had no reasoning abilities, heck yes, we definitely would have. Ha. That's twice. So when we were walking back we wanted to get some coffee from Alpine but they were closed so we were walking by the Student Union and Anna likes Indian boys a whole lot and she was already going crazy because Anoop is Indian and basically the best singer in the Clefs. That was a huge run-on sentence, so I think I'll break it up. But I'm telling a story and I get excited when I tell stories so it will likely be run-on sentences from here on out, at least to the end of the paragraph. Okay. So we were walking by the Union and she's like, Laura, look inside the window! And I say, what is it? What, Anna? And she says, look, over at the table, the table, Laura! So I look very conspicuously at the tables inside the Union, and there's this cute little Indian guy studying, and Anna's like, Laura, it's another Indian boy! AAAA! And she goes crazy and we laugh, hahahaha, and keep walking. So we go down the steps between the student stores and the Union and I tell her how I hate going that way because the other way by the bell tower is way more fun because it's prettier and I just like it better. We get down the stairs, and oh shoot I see my favorite male cheerleader! It's not that I'm attracted to him or anything, he's just my favorite because he makes me laugh and if I'm ever bored with the football game, which isn't often, but if I am or if there's a time out or if it's before the play starts or something, I watch him because he makes me laugh. So there he is, outside the Union, talking to someone. I tried to control myself, which was hard, because I was already in a heightened state of excitement due to the Clefs and Anna's Indian boy excitement. I just about died when we got around the corner. We laughed lots and lots, hahahahahahahaha, and almost died. I swear, we really were about to commit suicide. I mean, this was an amazing sequence of events. So we kept walking back to the dorm and as we're walking back we see the guy that she wants me to set her up with and we both about fell over. Not literally, well sort of literally, I mean, we were amazed and we probably could have fallen over if we hadn't been trying to pay attention to our feet and stuff, but we were so amazed that we had to sit down on the steps of the Alumni Center. Now that's for real. We really did have to sit down, because, like I said, we probably would have fallen over if we hadn't stopped to gather our wits, or whatever the saying would be. Oh man, it was amazing. And we'd bought two Clefs CDs, so when we got back we listened to those and just about died again. You guys are lucky we're still here today. I swear, we just about died and committed suicide a billion times Saturday night.

After that we watched Bridget Jones's Diary (I did the Jones's thing because it's British, and apparently that's the way they do it there--plus, that's how it is on the movie cover and stuff). It was good but not a favorite. Basically it was an opportunity to realize again how cute Colin Firth is. He's so great as the nice guy. This is a whoa long one. A really really long one. I think this is the longest blog I've ever written.

Anyway, another funny thing was that when Jennica came back Saturday night, she was really sleepy because it was late, and she fell asleep on the futon, which is where Anna was supposed to sleep. Jennica was taking up some space, and so we tried to wake her up so she could go to sleep in her bed. It didn't work just calling her name, but when Anna moved around I think it woke Jennica up. She mumbled something about Southern and a cross, not the Southern Cross constellation, but those were the only two words I could make out. We asked her what the heck she was talking about, and she repeated it, but we still couldn't tell what she was saying. Then she said, Never mind, and went over and messed with her phone. Then she said, I have the alarm set for 10am tomorrow, but Adam the Druid wouldn't think so. We just about died laughing, HAHAHAHA, and we still have no idea what she was talking about. I told her about it, and she doesn't know what she was talking about, either. We wonder if she was sleepwalking. Then she got in bed and I started laughing about the alarm thing again, and in trying to explain herself she told us something about how Adam keeps time with a sundial. Then Anna asked what a Druid is, and Jennica said, You know Stonehenge? Well, they built that. And that was somehow supposed to explain to Anna what a Druid is. Oh man, it was so funny. That was the only thing she remembered--saying something about Stonehenge. I really think she must have been sleepwalking. It was so so funny! Gaaaaaaaahahahahahaha!!

In closing, Kenny Loggins is definitely the one who sings that song, you know, the one I wrote about a while ago. I checked it on iTunes yesterday. I was expecting someone else to be like, hey Laura, you're right, it is Kenny Loggins. But no one did. Way to go, guys. Way to go.
