So as my promise to myself that I would indeed write I am now writing despite being a Sunday (which I am exempted from doing whatever I promised to do... I have been eating sweets like there is no end). However, like we still have snow and lots of it despite it melting (I also still have killer icicles outside my porch but despite the fact that they are much shorter they still scare me) people can still pelt snow in my face. Anyway I have an interesting story already... not that I can twist anything in my life to make it so unique that it can only happen to me. Yesterday I was at ImprovFest (improvisation is when you make stuff up as you go along... like what happens in life because everything goes unexpectedly). For example this is improvisation because I have no idea how it would end (it could finish talking about my Whole Foods bag or my eating two Qdoba burritos within an hour with my best friend in UPenn). Sorry for the segway but I was at Improv yesterday when they asked for two volunteers with IPhones to do read texts of theirs from last night but only one volunteered (clearly IPhone people are not cool because only one volunteered). Then they asked for volunteers with Blackberry and clearly Blackberry people proved their mettle by having two of us step up to the plate (actually its a stage not a baseball diamond) and offer to be embarrased (they promised not to but they want to make it funny so of course it would be a bit embarassing (I have lost all my embarrasment for my ackwardness anyway so it does not matter). So I stepped up with my pink blackberry (I love it) and was asked to sit down among two others and let the games begins.
So the first text was from a female who I will call my Qdoba buddy (there we go with Qdoba again). Before that they had commented of how many Spanish texts I have and this leads to a disclaimer that I text only with one Hispanic friend (we text a mix of Spanglish) here at Georgetown because most of my PR friends are not here so I have nothing to text them. Anyway, they start reading this routine text about the Improv ticket when my Qdoba friend asked me how many Improv tickets do you have. I tell her she should text B2 (however, it took the guy ten seconds to understand that was the message of the text and I did in fact write B2... who is an actual person). After stating that he continues reading the text which was kind of boring because it was routine. Despite being myself most of my text go: "Are you going to Mass?", "Who is going to Adoration?" (text that all sexually driven college students have).
The second text was from another female who was Hispanic which stated in Spanglish: "Ok, crees que hay mas tickets? Una amiga quiere venir." The guy translated it to: "Do you have more tickets? Do you have more tickets than apricots." (this is so wrong because I do not even know how to say apricots in Spanish). Anyway he kept going with the apricots and Spanish thing and trying to make it funny.
The third text was from another female (a lot of my friends are female) from the previous character called B2. It simply said: "I got a pirate's sword." It got a lot of laughs because it was so random on its own but in reality we were going to a pirates party and I needed a costume (eye patch would have made it doubly better). I not only had a pirate's sword but so much black eyeliner that I looked like I got punched in both eyes (it was scary but possibly not as scary as my Scary Spice costume for a British party) or just plained depressed. All I can say it was interesting waiting for B2 for 15 minutes at the Tombs bar with all that make-up and two drinks: a Galibu (Malibu with lemonade) and Rolling Rock (yes a beer... it was for my friend caused I hate beer but I liked one from Chicago... the first one I liked in years). Anyway they probably missed the best text thread which would have been said like this:
Gabi says: "You here?" Her female friend answers: "In 5 minutes, where are you? Order me something cheap." I answer back "I'm a piece of silver" and she answers back "Did you bring a sword?"
In reality a Blackberry (I still worship my blackberry) can really fudge the conversation because it should have gone like this:
Gabi: "You here?"
Female friend: "In 5 minutes, where are you? Order me something cheap." then in another text: "I'm a piece of silver"
Gabi: "did you bring a sword?"
I know it does not make it any clearer but I would have been construed that I was silver when in reality I wanted the sword. In reality, my friend, B2, was silver... means she dressed up all in silver (I had to read the text 5 times before I understood she was actually dressed as silver for the pirate's party). Just in case someone came in a shark costume... kudos to him.
After I got back to my seat I get 10 minutes late (we do not really have good signal there) the following texts from B2 who was trying to embarrass me on stage: "Last night was so hot, sorry I made you sleep on the couch" (kind of true I did sleep on her couch but not because of those sick reasons) and "Btw, your a good pirate. Captain morgan is not our friend" (I was a good pirate because I won a jousting match with plastic pirates swords and get to embarass one of my friends for the next week by calling him "My captain") Of course as a good texter I jokingly responded: "I only feel bonding experiences when I have slept on the same twin sized bed with a women. If we could only sleep once again in the same room. We would stay up all night" (I can respond really well). Anyway before I get angry texts saying where I am I bid you Adieu and promise to keep the interesting posts (and text messages) coming your way.

Dear Gabi,
ReplyDeleteI don't think this post made any sense. At all.
