"You, know...I Can Take A Dump And Make It Real Funky"
God love the Facebook. It has reunited me with a dear friend all the way back from elementary school! Lindsay (my friend whom we visited in England this summer), was back home in Toledo for a few weeks and we met up at the Elbo Room for some pizza & brew and had a great time re-meeting our dear friend, fellow Hillview Hawk, Damien.
Towards the end of our dinner when we were pondering what to do next...we decided to go to my house. Linsday started going on to damien about how you gotta see my house “jen is so artsy; she did everything in the house.” so i look at Linday, and tell her "She's too kind" and then I look at Damien and say to him "Really, she's being too kind. I am not an "artist' i'm more "crartsy", as I call it, a mix of crafty and artistic." hee hee. Then, as i'm envisioning in my head how justin's house USED to be, i con't to blab on as i do in my blabby kind of way & i say to damien "You know, I can take a dump and make it real funky.” OMG - they both looked at me with this really confused look but never laughed or anything, just kept looking at me and listening to me yack. Well, a few minutes later, I was still running it through my head at the table….WHY did those two give me that weird look when I was talking to them about my house??? and then I figured it out! The way that sounded - oh no! They thought I was seriously saying I can take a crap and make a crap look really funky! After I explained what I REALLY meant….take a fix-me-upper of a house and make the interior funky, we all about lost it! Damien must had been thinking to himself “what is this chick from my elementary school into?? She's gettin' all Jackson Pollock with her poop!?!”
Thank god I noticed something was up with that whole conversation because otherwise i don't think Damien would ever want to hang out with me again. We will definitely be staying in touch though! Unfortunately, I did not take a photo of the reunion evening, I’m so bummed about that. That's ok - i'll get one at the Halloween Party, right Damien :)

This all has left me with such a big smile on my face - Jen you are too much.
Truth be told, I did think that her 'dump' comment was scatological (Jen, please don't think of me every time you hear THAT word), but she was just so charming that I wasn't about to question her artistic movements.
That said, I really wouldn't care what she meant, I'm just giddy as a school boy that we were all able to reunite. Jen and Lindsay are such great, great people!
And I've never looked forward to Halloween so much now that I'll get to see Jen and Justin again. (Justin, thanks again for not shooting me as I waltzed in and out of your house without so much as an introduction - you would have had every right to in my opinion.)
Oh yeah, one other thing, you're on your own with the Celine Dion worship, but I'm all about Lionel now!
