Give Me Your Palm, I Shall Predict Your Future

Yes, GP. I am talking to you.

Since you are moving out in 23 days to be exact (you're moving out on the 25th right?), I decided to tell you what you have to look forward to on your average Sunday evening in college.

This is all based on what happened yesterday on my average Sunday evening of course, but I think it will apply to you because...well...it just does.

1. You will want to make mashed potatoes for din din, but you will find that you don't have a potato masher. So you will use a blender. You will discover that your potatoes are a little too whipped and runny and just plain strange. Then you will say, "Note to self: Don't mash potatoes in a blender."

Sorry, no pic. You'll just have to trust me.

2. You will decide to make chocolate crinkle cookies for dessert. But you won't have a cake mix of course (which is what the recipe calls for) so you will use a brownie mix instead. You will find that brownie mix does not have quite the same effect. Your cookies will just be a big bunch of flat. But they will still taste good. So you will eat them anyway. And then you will say, "Note to self: Don't make chocolate crinkle cookies with brownie mix."

Flat crinkle cookies.

3. You will be sitting there on a stool staring at some muffins that have been on the counter for weeks. Literally. Then you will start touching them and noticing how ROCK HARD they are. You will think to yourself, "I wonder if these babies will shatter if I drop them hard enough." Then you will think, "Why wonder when I can experiment?" And guess what you will do next. That's right, you will take out your screen and proceed to drop the muffins out the window one at a time. And guess what. They do indeed shatter. Into a million pieces. It's quite a sight.

4. You will feel the need to be a little prankster for the evening. So you will go to the next building over and turn off all the power switches in the guys' apartment. Then you will sprint down the stairs as fast as possible so you won't get caught. But they obviously know it is you, so by the time you make it back to your apartment, you will see that they have shut off your power in return. Good thing it just takes a finger flick to turn it back on. You will revel in your cleverness.

5. And what would a day be without staying up til midnight to do a slip n slide in the sprinklers? It just wouldn't be complete, I tell you. And you can't forget the bubble bath to make it more slippery. Bubble gum scented, of course. Note to self: Do this every single night this week because, yes, it was THAT awesome.

Me, post slip n slide adventure. SO FUN.

Yes that is what you have to look forward to. You are going to LOVE it. Yes you are.

Oh ya, and tonight we are going to the pet store to buy some crickets to let loose in the guys' apartment.

Also we are going to buy a lizard so we will be prepared when they try to stick the crickets back in our dorm. Plus we kind of just want a dorm pet. So we're going to get one. Boo ya.
