gingerbread fiascos
December 10, 2002 at 11:38 a.m.
So I kinda sorta had a party thing last night. A bunch of FHE (Family Home Evening - another LDS thing) groups came over to my place to make gingerbread houses.
Well, those grahm cracker things with icing anyway...
some people made the most beauuuuutiful houses - one really odd girl made the WTC which kind of weirded me out - and after a failed attempt at a roof, I ended up saying screw it to the whole thing and made a pit of hell complete with a gate to hell where all these gummy bears were jumping from what was left of my house and commiting suicide on the gum drops below.
Because they lived in a weird place where there was no snow and no one understood their gummy bear ways.
Now before I get 16 million more "I'm worried about you Reva!" e.mails from y lving friends, let me explain that it was a joke and my friend Bonnie the injured cellist helped me do it because we thought it was a funny poke about my homesickness.
Alos, a candy cane served to be the Staff of Satan and killed any gummy bear that came near it. Dunno what it meant, but if you don't understand it, then it is definately art. I AM AN ARTIST!!
It was more a demonstration about how frustrated I am about how I just can't be all that crafy. maybe the icing was too watery... yeah, that's the ticket!
Urg. I love being here - I'm getting my masters at the most beautiful campus I could imagine and Im slowly making friends here... but they're oh-so-normal. That's not a bad thing, I just feel like I might be losing myself somehow. I need something besides my own quirkiness to make me feel alive. I hate being the life of the party all by myself because every one else is content to live a frightfully dull existance. I refuse to do that.
IS THERE ANYONE IN THE ARIZONA AREA THAT HAS WRITTEN AN OPERA FOR VIOLIN AND RUBBER BAND ENSEMBLE? ANY DANCERS FROM NORWAY THAT NEED A TOWEL GIRL?
I just miss the diveristy of my undergrad. Everyone here want to get a job in an orchestra. And be comfy. No one wants to create something different.. make friends with someone who did't grow up IN MESA ARIZONA!!
Sheesh. Not that I'll be here for long. I have a conference in Chicago next week and then I'm of to Colorado for 2 weeks then Toronto then back to Denver the to LA then here for a short while...
Oooo, and all the plans for Australlia this summer are looking smashing. It's a lot of work, but it's work in AUSTRALLIA. That makes it cool!
I can be such a butthead when I'm asleep. Instead of doing my homework (which I got done this morning anyway, thank you very much!!) I called Loren to say good night and ended up falling asleep instantly. He knew I had to get some stuff done and kept yelling at me through the phone to wake up - and sometimes I would, and then I'd just be nasty to him and yell at me for waking me up.
Dang, I get testy when I'm sleepy. We've already established that it can be cute, but if you try to wake me and I dinnawanna, watch out, sucker!
Anywho, here's a cute picture we took when I was in Texas in November... yeeeaaaaaaars ago, riht? hmmm, seems like it. Anywho, I'm super busy and I have to get my homework done and my friend Zane just invited me to lunch so I'm off.
HEAR THAT PEOPLE? DOn't sweat about me - I'm going out to lunch with a FRIEND! They do exist! And yesterday I had ice cream with friendS! Whoohoo!
enough - here's us being goobers:
SUPERCRACK says - bring on the bagel dogs! woohoo for Einstein's Bagels in the ASU union!!!!
