Jello, Theft, and Vagina Monologues

Now that I have your attention, prepare yourself for what has been happening since I tried, and failed, to seduce a Genius at the Tyson's Corner Apple Store. Computer is doing great, by the way. 

Let's see, Saturday it was lovely out and I came out of my shell of British, Women's, and Young Adult literature to actually go to a party. Party was good, epic, even. I either forgot or didn't care that I'm positively terrified of Jello and tried a Jello shot. It was just as bad as I thought it would be. It wiggled and glided down my throat and into my stomach, where I am assured it returned to its liquid form. 

Right. Poor choices were had by all. 

I woke up and got going early on Sunday to play a little clarinet in church. Now, whenever I get in my car, I lean on the center console to slide across the seat. Imagine my surprise when the console was completely flipped up. Continue to imagine my surprised when I saw the cups out of the cup holders and on the floor, but my GPS completely missing. 

Cool, right? 

Apparently, some asshole slim jimed their way into my car, felt the need to knock a whole mess of cups over onto the floor, stole my GPS, and proceeded to LOCK MY CAR BACK UP. 

Seriously? Why bother?

Naturally, the cops didn't care and I found out later from a friend that four cars he knew of were broken into in the neighborhood. No clue if anyone called the cops as it was happening, but they were apparently in a dark SUV of some sort. At least my window wasn't broken like the another car. 

Which leads me to my last thing: The Vagina Monologues. If you don't know, learn more here before you judge. No, it's not all man-hating, yes, it's both funny and serious, and yes, I'm in them this year at Shepherd. 

We had our dress rehearsal last night, and I think it went really well. Our first performance is on Friday. If you're in the area, that means at 7:00 in Reynolds Hall on campus. Same goes for Saturday and all proceeds benefit the Shenandoah Women's Center. (You're not allowed to perform the monologues unless you have a beneficiary!) 

And, on that note, I'm going to finally shower and hit the books (again) before my class starts.

Dude that sucks about your gps.

I wish I had known about the play sooner-- I just emailed a friend to see if she wanted to go on Friday, but I'm sure she'll say no (she's lame, lol) Either way, break a leg!

@insomniaclolita I DID end up having a really good time at the party. I was pretty skeptical, but surprise fun is sometimes the best brand of fun.

@Maxie Yeah...I think I finally got over stalking cragislist for a similar model that just "happens" there and looking at my neighbors like THEY did it. And...I hope your friend surprises you and isn't lame!
