  i've discovered radioAOL and let me tell you, never thought i'd be enjoying such classics as the theme from Tootsie at 8 o'clock on a monday morning. well, never thought i'd be doing it before the age of 42. today marks the one month countdown of my move to california.
how pumped am i? i'd say very. i had the potentially awkward but pleasantly enjoyable dinner with my future roommate's parents saturday night. it was great. his dad and i talked about adventure, travel, and degrassi. as a substitute teacher before he got his degree, he used to show episodes of degrassi in school! it officially marked him as one of my heroes. i then explained degrassi: the new generation to him and his step-daughter.
they seemed intrigued. so after the dinner, which i have to say is highly meaningful since i met the parents before i met the roommate, i went on to purge my parents' house of any toxins, then went to best friend nick's house. we had some out-of-town homeys breeze in, faux-spontaneously since it was planned and i knew about it. ok, i just wanted to say faux. i drank my first piranha and it kept me up until 9 a.m. sunday morning.
oh you came in with the breee-eeeeze...ok anyway. six of us embarked on an adventure, probably not particularly significant in the scheme of things, but highly relevant to our town and our states of mind saturday night. call us rebels. it would be an overstatement, but you can still call us that. let's just say we changed some townspeople's opinion of a certain upcoming holiday, which has now passed.
confused? yeah we were too, which made it even more spectacular. it was a jive-ass, donkey-kartin' good time, as josh would say. i'm off in an hour or so to empty the rest of the contents from my five-year stint in the 'boro into a big truck, a big trailer, and a big expectation. san dimas high school football rules!
