Soooooooooooo cute!

Ok, so I have been for the last few hours co-habitating with a spider. We have been staring each other down all morning. Finally, I broke down and called my neighbor. He came over immediately to my rescue, of course, as pirates do with damsels in distress. He even did the "catch-and-release" method, because I said I preferred that "we" not kill

Wait...you live next door to a pirate?

See ichbinkelsey's entry from November 29th, at 1:10 am. It tells the whole story...much better than I ever could. :)

That's awesome. Sounds like a sweetie and not at all like a B-movie pirate.

Funny thing is, my mom totally remembers him from Young and the Restless and was frankly jealous that I am living next to him! She is still mad that I chose UCLA over U of Chicago, because she really wanted to be on Oprah's Christmas show where she (Oprah, not my mom) gives each person like $15,000 in cool stuff. I feel like my pirate neighbor sort of makes up for it. :)

He totally looks like a pirate, though. The secretly nice pirate who lets the lady in the brig out into a lifeboat while it's still dark, maybe. Incidentally, you should tell your mom that in order to be on Oprah's Christmas show, you have to line up like a week in advance and camp out, and furthermore, that the entire population of Boise Idaho or wherever actually flies to Chicago and does this every year. So not only would she have to sleep outside in the cold on Michigan Avenue in Chicago in December, she'd have to do it with the entire population of Boise, Idaho or wherever AND incur the wrath of people such as myself who are late to work and just want to walk down the sidewalk without tripping over a giant tent city comprised of people from Boise, Idaho or wherever, goddamnit.

The thing is, SHE wouldn't stand out in the cold with people from Boise...it would be me, even if frost bite knawed off all my extremities.

There was actually a scandal a couple of years ago where all these rich Gold Coast women were paying their maids to go stand in line for them. I think they might be doing something to combat having surrogate line-standers these days...
