Do you ever wonder where the things you borrow from the library have been? Maybe your least favorite teacher's kid had it last month. Maybe that quintessencial "hottie in your math class" that seventeen magazine always talks about had it two years ago.
The reason I'm saying this is because I'm listening to the Dave Matthews Band album Everyday, which I borrowed from the library. One of the few cool CDs they have. They havent updated their CD selection since like '99. That's okay, I guess, but I was looking for the Garden State soundtrack.
One of the number one things I like about my math teacher, Mr Bowen, is that he puts post-it notes on movies that he returns to Blockbuster that say things like, "Classic!", "Disappointing ending.", and "Truly bizarre." I aspire to someday be this funny.
Speaking of funny, there are a few of these pens circulating about the school. They intermittently light up red when you write with them. They have little arms with boxing gloves attached to them that extend when you hit little levers on the back. On the very top of the pen rests a thick pair of inaccurately shaped lips. Already, this is an odd looking creature. However, the part that has made me openly belly laugh instead of chuckle to myself about it is that, from these lips, a thick cluster of 4-inch-long lavender hair sprouts. A most bizarre combination of ideas. I've seen all of these things exisiting on a separate pen, but to have them all on one...It makes my chest hurt because I laugh so hard at it.
I'd told Alex about it yesterday and drawn a diagram during math, but today was a most blessed day. We were walking down the stairs, and I caught a glimpse of one in someone's hand and, without giving it any thought, I exclaimed, "Alex! There it is!" I took off down the stairs to follow it, and Alex followed me. We finally found it again and he made like the was mesmerized by it and started veering towards it with a wide-eyed expression and an outstretched hand.
In conclusion, I think I just might stoop so low as to ask one of the girls who has one where they got it and go out and buy it.
