"YOU are responsible for YOU" ~Garfield poster in my classroom

IMPORTANT BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE: The following conversation took place at approximately 9:25 PM.

TigerBelle113: aren't y'all home early?
aaadisobey: yup
TigerBelle113: wow that's insane
TigerBelle113: somebody gotta curfew?
TigerBelle113: or did the bars close early?
aaadisobey: just not anybody out at this point, and we didn't feel like waiting til 11:30 for other places to pick up
TigerBelle113: wow
TigerBelle113: you know you're getting old when....
aaadisobey: whatever
aaadisobey: you know you're getting bored when
TigerBelle113: k but last week
TigerBelle113: you woulda stayed out
TigerBelle113: because it would've been that slow anyway
TigerBelle113: cuz summer still
TigerBelle113: you're early birds now
TigerBelle113: might as well get out the ol' blue hair dye
aaadisobey: naw...we would have gone home then too...because it wouldn't have gotten any better
TigerBelle113: whatever i don't believe it
aaadisobey: we're not accustomed to being bored and having nowhere to go, e.g. uptown
TigerBelle113: excuses excuses


Kyle. Just face it. You're getting old. :-D You get tired more easily. And don't even try to blame the lack of fun that you were so accustomed to at Uptown for your "boredom." Jen killed it, yes. (Love you, Jen!) But it's coming back. AND, you ought to have enough faith in your friends and in your own personality to know that no matter where you go or when you go there, you're going to bring the fun with you. So unless you start taking responsibility for your own fun, you might as well go buy a bathrobe and a broom. Because you're definitely going to be the cranky old man that chases kids out of your yard with a broomstick.

Libby, sweetheart, I also have enough faith in myself and my friends to know that there will be many more great nights to be had (good Lord willing), and not every night has to be on par with all the rest.

I slept for TEN HOURS last night. I haven't been able to do that in months.

Silver lining, kid.

Terence, if you bring your striped shirt, I'll bring the "fuck me blue" shirt...or possibly the purple shirt.

I was only rocking the "HOFO" shirt last night. Can't have 'em all. ;)
