reminiscing

so earlier today i was trying to figure out what tailgate to go to this thursday night. one of the problems is that most i have been invited to are BYO, which is only less-than-convenient b/c i'll be walking a mile or two to wherever i wind up going. and when you're planning on drinking enough to be drunk (i'm sorry, but i am), it's a bit of a hassle to carry that many beers.

until it dawned on me--a backpack! ahhh, that brings back fond memories of filling your backpacks with thirty-packs of busch light and smuggling them into your freshman year dorm.

which reminded me of the time one of my friends borrowed my backpack to smuggle a couple of bottles of alcohol into the dorm. only they clinked together and the bottle of peach schnapps broke open, spilling peach schnapps all over my backpack and my biology notes contained therein. so for the rest of the semester, i would smell peach schnapps every time i sat down to study for biology.

which reminded us of the good old days of taking notes on paper! with pens and pencils! in notebooks! you remember notebooks, right? they had lined paper inside and were bound with spiral-shaped wire? remember how little the books were back then? (i was an english major, after all.) ooooh, it was crazy stuff.
