reasonably remarkable

okay i know it's been less than twelve hours but i want to post the rest so i'll be done telling this before the next reunion.

on saturday the clock radio went off set to the new britney spears song, for which i will not forgive olga as it's still stuck in my head. we had a wonderful breakfast (more tea, naturally) and met olga's friend and walked around. it was a nice day for the time of year and everyone was out. we went to the castle in central park and it was full of young children and couples making out. over lunch we discussed penises and school plays and then we had to dash for the train to new jersey, on which both of us nearly fell asleep. on the other end of the train in new jersey was the ever delightful mr. alex yablon and a full demonstration of his school's musical talents. there was a step team (!) and lots of bands to make fun of. although we had to work up to it after so long apart full snarkage definitely occurred a few hours into it. we also made a brief visit to the yablon residence and met both the infamous fartgirl and yablon's extra-southern grandmother. and the girl who crushed many a tasper dream (*ahem* jared and adam), yablon's girlfriend. they were all three very lovely ladies. definitely the best event hosted on a church's premises i have ever been to.

hmm, that was extra crappy. oh well i never pretended to be a writer (oh wait, yes i did!) eunice baby you know where it doesn't snow? san francisco. i'm sure you got into some fantastic college over here, too...come visit me! my mom will make you pancakes! (true story ask tara)
