So, I've been really looking forward to Video Game Boy staying with us next week, but it turns out that he can actually stay at the school for free and doesn't have to stay with us. I am not happy about this. I was really looking forward to some serious Deanna/Video Game Boy time.
I mean, he's my best friend, and I rarely get to hang out with him now that I don't go to school and he does and has a weird schedule, and isn't at the school when I go to visit. I miss having ridiculous conversations and just laughing at his weirdness.
I'm kind of afraid I'll end up losing him in a way. I mean, not to sound like I hate all my friends, but I tend to end up being friends with people I don't really like, and VGB is one of the friends that I don't want to just ditch and run away screaming.
Last time I saw him, he said that he hopes we can be "adult friends" and I'm kind of scared that I'm losing it already. I don't know. It's weird I guess. I'm always afraid that I push people away, and I don't want to live a life that doesn't have hour and a half long discussions about whether or not Puritans invented SCUBA gear, or who that actual parents of Ariel's (the Little Mermaid) sisters are because it's genially impossible to have children with blonde, brown, black, and red hair.
There is a chance that I'm freaking out about nothing and that, if I wish hard enough, he'll still come over this next week when there is no one at the school and chill at the apartment for some Deanna/VGB time. If he had a cell phone, like a regular person, this would be far less weird. I feel strange calling him room because it's the girlfriend phone.
This post makes it sound like I LOVE Video Game Boy so I'm going to stop now. (I just miss him.)
AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY
Today is awesome because I got caught up on all my TV shows whilst my roommate was in class :)

When AWESOME isn't a strong enough word.
It is no secret to the reader(s) of this blog that I LOVE improv comedy, specifically the improv comedy of the troupe Stranger than Fiction which includes my High School English Teacher. Tonight, I, along with My Former Boss (MFB) from my summer internship, went and saw a completely new and never before seen improv show directed by my High School English Teacher.
It was based in the era of Jane Austen novels, and is called "The Wheel of Austen." The actors are in period customes and talked in silly voices and it was just amazing. I have tried on several occasions to put Stranger than Fiction and improv comedy into words, but its impossible. If you've ever seen an improv show, you know that it is impossible.
My favorite part of the show, honestly, didn't happen on the stage, but in the seat next to me. Hearing and seeing MFB reactions to what was happening. I feel like a cool person for knowing about cool thinks like Wheel of Austen and STF. I rarely get to feel cool. It's also like I'm giving the gift of laughter to new people, even though I'm not actually invovled. The gift of laughter is the best gift to see recieved. :)
I can only suggest that you go see it, which may be impossible. HOWEVER, they are going to try to record and post a show that they do to the internets. Hopefully, the get to, so that anyone can see this show. It was just so awesome, so amazing that I can't put words to what it is.
I know that when I blog, it tends to randomly be about how amazing STF is, or because I want to link something else, but to be honest, that's the only time anything intersting happens. I'm going to start trying to make something happen, to do my part to change the world around me and write about it. But there is only so much I can do.
I do however promise a daily blog update the week that Video Game Boy stays at the apartment. I'm sure that this week will have blog-able events happening every hour if not every day. This week is fast approaching, and I'm very excited about it.
AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY
today is awesome because I love my STF and former boss :)

I am currently dressed as a Ninja.
Ok.
So the boys and I park in a certain spot in the parking lot for our dorm. Video Game Boy decided he didn't want to park there anymore, so a leprechaun, the mustached one and I are moving it.
He drives a jeep, which is easy enough to break into, and this would have been done already if the steering wheel didn't lock. So no we have to wait for VGB to fall asleep so that his roommate can steal his keys so we can push it across the parking lot.
I know what you are thinking "you will have his keys, can't you just like turn it on?"
The answer is "no," his car doesn't start. This is a new development.
It's currently 11:34, and VGB normally goes to sleep about 3 hours ago, but he's still up for some reason. This never happens. We need to get the Jeep moved before the RA's do their 1 am rounds.
I am excited about this. VERY EXCITED.
After dinner I dressed in all black and painted my face, to become a car moving ninja. Then VGB came into my room. That was, what's the word, awkward. I had to tell him I was making a youtube video. Totally believable, he thinks it's odd, but he believes me. (The boy that parks by light poles so that meteors don't hit his car, thinks me dressing as a ninja to watch American Idol is weird.)
Good times. Hopefully his roommate appears soon so we can get operation move the Jeep in gear.
