The robot

Hey Jojo, as proof that you change my life, I started a similar blog for my other best friend Harrison Magee, who is in Argentina, and I wrote him the following message. I was too weary to write a whole new entry, but this one is like something that I would write to you any way. You change my life because I never feel close to my friend Harrison, but now that I'm doing this, I do, since I know that he reads it even if he doesn't respond. Don't worry about me running out of original blog material to write you about. I got more. I hope your thesis is well and fresh mozzarella.


"It's sad but I just tried to claim the url "aboutfacebook.blogspot.com" because I wanted to start a blog about Facebook, or at least claim the name as I mulled over whether a blog like that would be a gay thing to do. Fortunately, it was taken already.

How much do you think the Personal Info section matters? I try too hard. But then, I get a compliment from someone who I think is cool (and who probably has a cool Personal Info section too), and then I start thinking that maybe it's worth it. It's my modern-day equal to coming up with new Livejournal interests, which I excitedly memorized until I could get home to type them in. I know that someday this will all embarrass me. This blog especially.

I'm trying out to be Mike tomorrow. Thanks for the Super Mario advice. It actually helped a lot, because I realized that I could research tips on how to be any mascot in the country, not just tips on how to be Mike. I found a bunch of good mascot fights/danceoffs on Youtube. And then I found a 12-part video on how to do the robot. I then found myself peering back constantly to make sure Danielle didn't wake up and see me standing in only underwear at 3 a.m. trying to emulate this gay guy doing the robot.

I've never had such a nerve-wracking audition before. I am trying to think of mental tricks to help me at this audition, and so far "imagine the judges in their underwear" is on it. That and "pretend you're gay." I also have to remember to do the Vanilla Ice dance before anyone else does it. Can you help me come up with more? I'm trying to think of which of our friends would make the best mascot, and maybe trying to emulate them a little bit.

Thanks for listening boo. I don't think you need to start a new blog. You already have that other one that isn't on your profile anymore. You're better off having an amazing time in B.A. and creating lasting memories."
