the things that i learned this week

1. that spitting off of a balcony and into the infinite abyss of the marriot moat is a bad idea. melanie will find you and hunt you down. so will juan. the colored goldfish crackers in the box do not need to be set free to make friends with the real life goldfish in the water. they just dont.

2. the U.S.S. Bunker Hill consists of a lovely group of people, most of whom have excellent taste in music, enjoy more alcoholic beverages than they can handle, and really, really like zach's jacket.

3. a venti java chip light frap consists of: 300 calories, 7 grams of fat, and 20% of the daily recommended dose of calcium. im going to die young, and im going to die happy. who'd have thought that love could be so caffinated?

4. if lunch is salmon, survey says: desert will be too.

5. knowing three minutes before you go on stage in front of 5,000 people is actually more fun than being prepared for it. especially when you arent wearing real pants.

6. isaac will eventually hug you. you dont think hes going to. but no, of course, you dont give up. you dont get discouraged. you keep trying. he WILL hug you.

7. the v of rj's love my outfit.

8. it wasnt really charlie's fault. nameless british older brother totally was asking for it. asshole.

9. ballet fairy tales are real. except, they dont tell you the whole story. they dont tell you that clara didnt actually find the nutcracker under her christmas tree. oh no. they dont tell you that he actually showed up in an elevator, a sign from yoffie himself, telling us all to have a happy and healthy holiday season.

10. that even though there were times when i thought "why me? how could anyone have possibly wanted me to be the one standing here, pantsless, among these amazing and inspiring people? what were they thinking?" and even though i wasnt as prepared as i wished i was in terms of knowing the schedule or getting people's attention or being as good as i can be, i still consider this a success.

i know that my cheeks hurt from laughing so hard.

Furthermore, what the fuck is a shabat box of cards and why does eric maurer tell me i'm quoted in it?

Fuck everyone who went so San Diego.
I also hate all of you. Just moderately so, though.

Are the v's of rj who I think they are?

i would like to add one thing to your list:

You don't need to have animals at a zoo to make it the "best zoo in the world". All you need is a double decker bus, 170 of your closest friends and lots of varieties of vegetation.

also.
you learned (as well as I...) that it is entirely possible to arrange your hairdo around a kipah.
and it looks fly.
