Overdue update
So I'm updating the journal while sitting in the law school court room listening to oral arguments...fun stuff. I probably have a hell of alot to write about that I won't, but I'll catch up sooner or later.
So Mardi Gras..God, I want to go back in time a few weeks so I can do it all again!! We had such a great time both weekends. I spent so many days out on my little spot on St. Charles at the Prima Donna's Closet it was unbelievable. lol Anyway, we got down there Friday night and stayed until Tuesday morning of course. Saw about 15 parades and caught tons of shit. Of course, the best parade was Bacchus; the theme of the parade this year was Bacchus Goes over the Yellow Brick Road and as you can guess, every freaking float featured the Wizard of Oz. It was awesomeness. I totally dressed up in the Dorothy dress and was heavily rewarded by the men on the floats for it. Best of all was the special bag and goodies I got from a few riders that I met on the forum; there is a Mardi Gras forum through nola.com that I started posting on because I wanted the special Wizard of Oz beads. Well, I got them! Thanks to bacchusrider, travelers123, and lsufan6969 I got hooked up. I got two full sets of the WoOz beads, light up beads, special glass beads that look like a necklace, and the special character dolls. It was greatness. I had big signs for them all. Funny note: my brother put Ross on his shoulders because he was dressed as the Tin Man. So for the tin man float, David picked Ross up. Ross looked like he was going to shit his pants he was so scared. It was hilarious. A few feather boas and coconuts later, it was all over. Now it's back to the grind of course...
Except that last Saturday was "law school prom" also known as Barrister's Ball. It was a great event and I looked pretty freaking hot! If you have access to facebook and want to see, I have a photo album loaded up. If you don't and want to see the photos, let me know. I'll see what I can do to post them somewhere else.
Symphonic Winds concert was on Tuesday: man, I love band. It makes me feel so much better about life. I'm sitting principal clarinet now and had a nice little solo. Came out better than I expected; I was happy. And man, oh man, those directors. Frank told me he's taking me to dinner when I graduate from law school. I was teasing him and he said no, I mean it. So in May of 2008, I have a date with Frank Wickes. That should be pretty hot. He also invited me to the graduate assistant crawfish boil. I'm so not a grad ass, but I suppose Frank just loves me. Linda finally came out with us for beignets; we've been asking her to do it for years. Good times; of course, Linda walks up and there are several boys waiting at the door practically drooling all over her. What does she do? Walks over to me and tells me that she wasn't able to give me my hug yet and gave me this huge hug. Always makes for interesting conversation the next day...lol She told me I'm a special person. I'm not even going to go into the analysis there.
Alright, that's the short update on everything. Check out my journal if you want to see my new layout. I was excited to find something Disney related. It made me happy at least and I will be back there in a few months!
