was everyone aware that i own the typewriter on display on this blog? because i totally do.
did you know i took a swimming class in college, and i earned an A despite all predictions that i entirely lack physical coordination/athletic prowess? because i totally did.
were you aware that i drive a stick shift? because i totally can.
was it within your realm of understanding that i was bonneville county top county model (for my age group, of course. my sister also earned the title for her own age group) circa 1995? because i totally was.
is it in your ken that i once stared at claire danes for so long (in real life. i know, right?) in the airport on my way to stephanie's wedding that she actually moved to another terminal, and then i found out later that she was on my flight anyway? because i totally did.
did you know that i just polished off an entire bag of haribo gold-bears by myself in the library in the face of a fallen pancreas and strict rules regarding the consumption of food in the campus library? because i totally polished it.
if you answered no to one or more of these questions, we obviously haven't spent five minutes together in a long time.

This is what i like. A little Boo self-promotion. Enough of this "I fell on my face in public" fare.
I bet you could polish those grad-school-spawned doubts like so many gummy snacks...wax those chumps like candles.
Your blogging slogan for the coming year: Boo is Great in 2008
well, this is quite a stroke of geniusity, if i do say so myself.
personally, i'm going to be writing a creative thesis...perhaps you should look into doing a memoir (picture this: 100 pages of this post. sheer academic a+)
Were you all aware that I knew many of those things. I hate to brag but I am pretty sure that I am your absolute BFF!
I'm such a loser. I can't drive a stick shift. AND I don't have a chin to be a model. However, I can eat gummy bears.
ah, what a breath of fresh air you are and i like that my name made it in... it makes me feel like i have higher self-esteem by association. can i be the campaign manager for the boo is great in 2008 gig?
You'll have to fite fite for that position, Steph.
But if prior experience serves me, I know you are a fighter to rival even Ms. Aguilera.
true true, thanks for the recognition (man, watch out- this post may be serving my self-esteem a little too much. keep me in check. i'm still in my pajamas and it's noon. there, ah, the familiar gloom of safe mediocrity). :)
on an unrelated note- i was looking at my friend's blog and someone had commented on her post under the username: "bart's rebecca"... boo, do you have another blog out there that you are keeping from us? gosh, i hope the answer is yes. a blog under this name could only result in some serious hilarity.
Becca,
I am not kidding... I would buy a "dumbledore loves women" t-shirt in a heart beat. Do it!
hey kiddo, new post for us anytime soon? you can't ignore us forever.
i agree with the mel.
