World of Make Believe

I was free today! For a bit. I got to leave the house. I went to the doctor first, for blood work. Now I feel a bit like a junkie, because I have 2 marks on my arms from where he drew blood. Two. Both bruised. Damn anemia. And even then, he didn't get a full tube of blood.

I hate my body. *grrmumblesobscenities*

Anyway, then I went to the mall, where I got some awesome pink sunglasses. (Bling!) A few people stopped to ask me about my shirt. (It's a top ten list of "Reasons Why It's Great to Be Class of 08" or something like that. #1 on the list is "G-E-T NNNNNNNNN-A-K-E-D GET NAKED!" followed either immediately or a bit down the list by "We can steal 400 pairs of boxers and get away with it." Which is true, which is probably one of the craziest things I did this year. Aiding and abetting the stealing of 400 pairs of blue boxers (all either were blue or were mostly blue) from Georgia Tech frat houses and Georgia State guys. Oops.

We strung these boxers up on clotheslines and hung them all around our dining hall during our party day. How freaking cool is that? I think I actually have a pair of the blue boxers. I don't know who took what, we all took a random pair to wash and wear after that. I'm not sure any of them made it back to their owners, really. Which, if you're trying to imagine this, is pretty damn hilarious. Approximately 400 Georgia Tech and Georgia State guys wondering where in the hell those damn blue boxers are. I say approximately, because of course we asked a few frat houses personally if they would donate to the cause. But there was a great deal of…blue boxers magically being whisked into our secret party day hideout, only to be displayed in our dining hall.

Beautiful, it was. Absolutely beautiful.

Clearly, you don't tell this to a bunch of strangers. You simply tell them you're part of the Black Ring Mafia (ASC ALL THE WAY!) and you smile, nod, and move on. To see another glorious day, to look forward to increasing your boxer count to 1,000 next year. (That's our goal, anyway……….)
