Dining With The Doctor: Adventures in Being a Teenager (2013 edition)

Today I found a cookbook on Amazon while I was searching for Their Eyes Were Watching God. It was called Dining with the Doctor, and it was all Doctor Who recipes and I laughed for about ten straight minutes.

To demonstrate the vocab word we had, Kara fake/real tripped and fell over clawing at the ground.  I said, "You went full trip man, you never go full trip." And she said, "That was the only time it was ever acceptable to go full trip." And we both used Robert Downey Junior's accent from Tropic Thunder and then couldn't stop laughing.

In French class, we were playing charades and someone got Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. So to show the word "charlie" Eklutna pointed at new dorm, stuck her hand in her pants and swaggered around, and then made out with the air, and I smiled and shyly said, "It's Charlie." And Gaby pointed at me and tapped her finger on her nose and then went, "Your good." And then the whole room burst into laughter.

In another French class Eklutna took my phone and started taking pictures and to this day I have a picture of Chris Jones duckfacing and chucking up the deuces like he was born to do it. I think it's my favorite picture ever, and I will always keep it. There is also one of Jay giving the camera a cross eyed tongue out face.

Confession: I stayed up until about five am on New Years watching American Horror Story with a bunch of people in my basement. I also burned my pants on fireworks.

One day Meredith and I had to walk back from Warren Falls and then we started walking up Fuller hill and then sat down in the grass on the side of the road and she said that i had a promising future as a "Road Hussy" and I hit her with a tree branch and she said she loved me.

Once I was so scared of Sam Jackson that I didn't say when I knew the right answer because he was shooting death flames from his eyes. And then everyone said nothing and he got even madder and I just about peed my pants.

My drivers Ed teacher once yelled at us, slammed his fist against the blackboard screaming profanities and then walked out into the hall, where his wife had to go comfort him. I don't think I've ever had to suppress the urge to laugh as much, because he got so mad  about a discussion on seatbelts. It was too much for me to bear and I giggled. Kara hit me with her notebook and then started laughing.

When we were practicing SATs, the sentence told us some information and I told my tutor I didn't care if the dude was a painter, as long as he could do my taxes we were good. And she told me I was going to go places in life.

When I asked Sammi if I could ask her a question and she said "yes love" and I turned to jelly from cuteness overload.  I forgot the question too.

Once when I was babysitting Ansley, I had to go in and give her another pacifier because she sleeps with two, and she grabbed the pacifier, clutched it in her hands and looked at me wide-eyed and said, "BINKY" and fell straight asleep and I almost woke her up from laughing.

Gabe tried to be a rapper and put only one hand on the top of the care wheel while sagging his pants and singing along with the rap song. This is the same Gabe that stole the brownies, and crouched over them on top of the table like golem.

And so I guess 2013 is really gone and I guess it was pretty awesome.  Happy (super belated) New Year interwebs.

"And I know that I won't be
The easiest to set free
And I know that I won't been the last"
