finding friday: the ducks in my lake

out of all the ducks in
my lake I choose you
to take __________

. . .to the dance?

kids, this is a creative date invite in it's early stages. I hope (s)he put a live duck with the little poem. I'd go out with a guy who gave me a live duck. {well. . . okay, so I don't know if I really would or not. live duck? don't they have diseases or something? maybe just the ones from the liberty park pond. . .} my favorite creative date invite I ever did was when I taped a bunch (or was it just one?) of snickers candy bars to a piece of paper and on the front it said, "find my name." I don't think I even made up some cheesy saying to go with the candy bar. oh and then the best part is that my name wasn't hidden in some secret locale. all you had to do was flip the paper over and there it was. plain and simple. I think the guy appreciated it. he was random like that. my least favorite creative date reply was from a boy who will remain anonymous {according to his valedictorian speech, he might be a world dominator some day. and we'll all be working for him. it was a pretty scary speech.} it was for the halloween dance. he gutted a pumpkin and then put in a lot of different stuff. gross stuff. like smells like puke stuff. let's just say this wasn't a very fun date for many various reasons. favorite moment, however, was calling the cops on the rest of our group. I should tell you all about that someday. . .

Oh, don't be a tease! Now you HAVE TO blog the story about your world-dominator, cops-calling date! Seriously, you have to. I've never heard that story.

you are so funny. I love reading your blogs because I feel like your talking to me like we did back in college. (of course, you'd be drawing stars while you talked) Wow, can you believe that was 8 years ago? I am so glad we can keep in touch through our blogs!

Oh Anna. I totally forgot all about that night. I think calling the cops was "he-who-shall-not-be-named" favorite part too. Good times indeed. Love it. I even talked to him at the 10-year and totally forgot about that night. What a great night ;)

Details please!

I know a guy who lit a fire in some girl's driveway, with the message, "Come on Baby, light my fire." I bet her dad was excited by that dance invitation.

Yeah, that is a good story and you should share it with everyone. :-)

So you know what I still have? Pretty much all the notes you and Sarah ever wrote to me from high school. I should start posting one of those each week...people probably wouldn't think we are that funny, but I think we would both get a good laugh.
