eh, the man whore just caught me. this is how the convo went:

MW- so what's the T stand for anyway? like your middle name T?
me- it's really weird. like you'd never guess it. it actually stands for Tequeestria. it was my mom's babysitter back in the day (think like Abilene in The Help), so she wanted to pay tribute to her by giving me her name as my middle name
MW: really? that's kinda sweet. Tequeestria is a super weird name though
Me: oh tell me about it. I'm just thankful i have a semi-normal first name.
...a few minutes later
MW: are you serious about tequeestria?
Me: dead serious! are you questioning me?!
MW: ookay, i believe you. sounds like a legit story.
... just now
MW: i just asked otherfriend who says your middle name is something different entirely and now i seem like an idiot for going around telling people about your crazy-ass middle name. YOU ARE A LIAR!

...oops.

So my gf and 2009's gf are besties. And they were roommates in student apts senior year when we both started hooking it. Probably our finest accomplishment was meeting each other in their living room one morning unexpectedly and high fiving.

Either that or piggy back racing against each other in the rain in our dress clothes and I fell in a massive hole and they sprinted by maniacally laughing and locking us out of the room.

Goddamnit why is college over?

I was driving on Loyola of MD's campus yesterday to buy my mom an Xmas gift, their last day of finals must be today (or maybe even yesterday) because there were very few kids around and kids getting picked up left and right it seemed like, but it made me feel sad. Especially when I saw a few sets of girls running by. I get that a lot in my current neighborhood, but I don't know what it was that did it. I had never been up there and drove in a couple circles though.

Plus I got to see the 34th St lights at dusk on the drive home, which was nice. One of the best displays in the country

We have a white elephant party Saturday night and I'm wearing my bunny pj slippers. Skipping out on the whole costume since its dirty and I fear if I wash it one more time it will be unbearably small. Its already gotta to a point where my ankles get exposed and the arms are a little short.

Yeah, I picked up one back in June, and that price would be a fucking steal. But I would be very wary of buying watches online, especially breitlings. There are a lot of shady sites out there that sell fakes, and breitlings are high on the list of knockoffs. Not saying this one is at all, but I would just do some research before buying.

The special right now is at $62 on studentmags. I had a credit there which is how I got mine so absurdly cheap.

I got a voucher for a year's subscription from a seller on ebay for $30. They mailed me the voucher, I filled out my info and mailed it in and I got my first issue fairly quickly. I think it was this listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Economi...7?pt=US_Gift_Certificates&hash=item2a274d9c21

is anybody at all familiar with highlands, NC, or with the old edwards inn?

I love Highlands. It's a great destination for guests. If they're flying in, Greenville or Atlanta is the easiest airport. There are a lot of great waterfalls in the area and most are near the highway. There's a nice shopping district.

The biggest drawback is that they don't have liquor by the drink, so you can't really sit by the bar, watch a football game and order beers. They have some sort of arcane laws about brownbagging and corking service in restaurants, so it's not totally dry, you just have to bring it with you.

Some people call the town The Highlands. I correct them and they get all defensive and tell me I'm wrong and that's how other people say it too. So I tell them that the other people are wrong too. When I say "some people," I mean my mother.

Old Edwards Inn is very nice. Never done a wedding there.

There's a great dog-friendly hotel there. Google search turned up a couple of places, but not the one I stayed at. It's been awhile though, so it may not still be around.

There are lots of houses for rent near Highlands, but a ton over in Cashiers, which is only about 20 minutes away.
