Another Day, Another Dolla'

Hey,

It's me again. Just poppin' in to update the wide world of my blog.
I don't have much to say so this will be another filler-blog...yup.


The more I repeat stories the more likely I will remember the little details later in life. Especially if I revisit them. Jill (one of my roommate's whose name has been changed to safeguard her identity) remembers the story of a dumb-as-a-door-knob peer who out of nowhere did an impersonation of a baby during a history class. I wasn't there but I've asked her to recount the story enough times that I can just imagine this girl thinking her impersonation would be all quirk and cuteness, but sadly for her it was not so. Instead everyone probably just wondered what the heck made her think it would be okay to make a baby voice and to rock back and forth or whatever it is exactly that she did.

Part of me can relate to this young lady. Often, I find that I act on impulse and it has led to many great decisions but also to some not-so-great decisions. Here is a list of great and cringe-worthy things I have done:

1) Pig Day at the Davis Farmer's Market! I just got back from that. I went with my roommate and her boyfriend. We partook of the merriment by petting a sheep (a shoop? two sheep!), eating delicious hot dogs and enjoying some tangy tangelos. I got one particularly sour tangelo and some funny comments from the hot dog man. Overall, 'twas quite a pleasant afternoon.

2) Deciding to kick a beach ball at high school graduation, missing and landing on my behind on the grass. In front of all the parents and my peers.

3) Jumping into Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the U.S. bra-less. This means getting out was awkward because I had to wait for the crowd of three people lauding my bravery to leave before getting out lest they see everything through my orange t-shirt. (This one is both great and cringe-worthy)

4) Dance Party on some random Country Road near Woodland.

5) Swimming in the mornings with a guy I met on Halloween. All we talked about between laps was physics and how I once helped build a robot...also a big German man jumped over my head and splashed water in my face. Also, the guy claimed to look like Superman. It was not a good thing.

6) Dressing up as a Potato. I copied this from one of my favorite amigas, Laura E. Son of Thomp but made it my own by being a Mr. Potatohead. Pretty much awesome.

7) "Yeah, your sister Samantha" is what I said. My friend had never told me his sister's name so when he asked how I knew it, I figured honesty was the best policy and replied "Facebook." The rest of the drive was barely bearable for me. Knowing too much about people via social networking sites is bad. Also, always think before you speak.


Anyway, there's a lot more but for now I will leave it at this. I also don't know why I named this "Another Day, Another Dolla'" but I must remain true to this initial title and I refuse to change it so "Another Day, Another Dolla'" it is.

Keep it real,

Claudia
