5 seconds to take a quiz and save the world.

what should we blog about today?

well, for one, taylor b. can't walk.
what is her problem?
what a loaded question.

anyway.
she's confined to crutches at this point,
which means taylor o. and andy and veronica
and brady and ben and various others
have taken to chauffeuring her around.
they're great friends.

some good things have come out of it, though.
like getting everyone and their dog
(that's an expression. no dogs are involved)
to ask her what's wrong with her foot.
and it's a great conversation starter with random strangers.

"hey. my foot hurts, how's yours?"

genius.

in other news, our friend kory is a hoot.
he's a real-life gangsta from the west side of LA.
and he plays a real good will smith character.
we'll try and get it on film sometime.
meanwhile, enjoy this little example:



also, he speaks like 5 languages.
but he doesn't speak "taylor."
so we're helping him with that.
textersation example:

kory:
"just rockin' that fhe and startin'
to hit that paper for sure. ok cin....snow really?
that was correct usage, huh? NAILED IT!!!"

taylor o:
"hahahaha. sure. usually though, cin or chn
or csn is in response to another comment. so i'd
be like, "it's snowing" and you'd go, "cin."
or you could make the first comment and respond to
yourself like, 'i used to have diamond studs. cin.'
often times it is used when you do something out
of control, or dumb like, 'i just stalked people i don't
care about on facebook for two hours. cin.'
or with me and taylor, it will often relate
to boys. she will say, 'there is a really attractive boy
sitting next to me in the library wearing clarks and a cardigan,'
and then i'll say, 'chn.'
of course, you can also use it in the literal sense. such as,
'i just saw a winna wearing overalls on campus. chn.'
or, 'i just ran into a pole. cin.'
hope these few examples have helped demonstrate the proper
usage of the term. i could go on and on,
but i think the point is pretty clear."

kory:
"i think i'm going to have to stick to my super
gangsta speech, cuz yours is hard."

campus visiting hours.

today was a special kind of day.
the kind of day that called for a celebration.
(you know how we are with celebrations).
so we took matters into our own hands
and pulled off somethin' real slick.


here we are at our party:


taylor b. looks like a fool.
typical.

okaaaaay. well.
bye.



p.s. thanks for coming, lisa!

you wanna know what happened to me?


"i've got a great idea. let's change clothes
and then go be crazy, annoying college students
and jump through puddles and stuff."
"yeah, good idea. also, i'm going to
hold this window screen for a second."

"playing in the rain sure is fun."
"i'm a suuppastar."
"look at my cool thumbs up sign."

"let's strip down to our swimming suits."
"yeah!"

"this is going to be a funny picture!"
"you can say that again!"
"we're really funny."
"playing in the rain is neat."
"we're in college!!"
"we can do whatever we want!"

"let's take a shower now."
"good idea."
"that was fun."
"my arms are as long as my legs."
"being in college is fun."

anyway. taylor b. accidentally forgot
to sleep on monday night.
wasn't that a special treat for us both.
it's been an interesting week,
and it's not even over yet.

ciao.


oh, p.s.
it's definitive.

what is true.

"i like to see people reunited, maybe that's a silly thing,
but what can i say, i like to see people run into
each other, i like the kissing and the crying,
i like the impatience, the stories that the mouth
can't tell fast enough, the ears that aren't big enough,
the eyes that can't take in all of the change, i like the hugging
the bringing together, the end of missing someone..."

---"extremely loud and incredibly close."

racing the yellow lights.


"since and elimination could occur at any time,
successful players are obliged to develop a
healthy degree of watchful paranoia."


we highly recommend further study by
way of this excellent wikipedia article.
wiki does it again.

anyway. we're all things assassin these days.

"you get in, you get done and then you get gone.
you never leave a trace, or show your face.
you get gone."

we highly recommend further study
by way of this excellent john mayer song.
mayer does it again.

k. gotta run.
and hide.

---taylor & taylor.
