Phone and Movies

I might be writing this post in order to delay the writing of my speech for tonight. But you won't tell anyone right? Perfect.
I have a general idea of what I want to do. I should just do it. Okay, readers. You've convicted me. I will return to my speech and get through at least the second subpoint. You're so convincing!

My speech went fairly well last night. I'm still debating about whether or not I should go into detail. Let me say this. I received an A and totally embarrassed myself. That being said, I'm not sure I'm quite ready to share that moment with the Internet yet. 

This week, I have gotten to talk to two very special ladies. I spent more than an hour on the phone with each of them. I usually hate talking on the phone because I am so bad at it. I'm all about reading body language and facial cues that you can't get on the phone. Even inflection is hard to catch sometimes. 

For some reason, I have this mental image of Marcia Brady laying on her bed (right) and chatting on the phone forever (left). I'm not sure she ever did this, but that's what I think of when I think about talking to my friends on the phone for hours. Was there a phone in the girl's bedroom? I wouldn't think so. It was the early 1970s. I don't really know. 

Monday night I got to talk to Avery. I hadn't talked with her in a while so it was very good to catch up. 

This is Avery and myself at my senior night, and then us the summer before at Lollapalooza.

It's this HUGE 3 day music festival downtown Chicago with some little bands and booths and then as the night goes on, more and more well-known bands play. Each night there's a headliner, like Green Day. We rode the train and sweated and got sunburned and rocked out. It was awesome.

Last night, I got to talk to Kate. It was good to hear her voice and get her opinions on things. I miss her. I miss them both! Hopefully I can see everybody I want to see over Christmas. Turns out, I don't have too many decent photos of Kate and myself. Shocker. We're too goofy. Here's one of her being a goof and me being a goof. We took a lot of photos this day, just not together. 

And yes, I'm in a dress. No, we were not going anywhere fancy. I just decided to wear a dress.

Yeah. 

I've got one more class today and then a meeting with my philosophy group tonight. We are watching The Truman Show and analyzing it together. Have you people seen this movie? It's awesome!
