well, hello there, funderlings!

greetings!

I am a pirate! goo goo ga joob!!!!!! I came in discord! I have taken Tom and his booty!!!!

...nah.

welcome to your first guest post by Lizzie. You see, i saw this here blog and I was kinda like oooooOOOooooo....blog...num num num. Kind of like my puppy with shoes.

Speaking of my darlingest dearest puppy. My sort-of boyfriend left for florida on Friday and took my pooch to his mother's house, which has left me desperately sad. on the plus side, it has led me to baking. yay brownies!

So I realise that many of you readers do not know me. or at least not well. Maybe you've heard stories. But you've probably wondered who is this chick that Tom will be within two feet of for like...months? or, as cakemom would say (are you reading this, Kathy?) WHO IS THAT LESBIAN JEW IN A MEXICAN FIESTA DRESS? HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGY IN THE WINDOW? (Mine has such a waggedy tail.) And seeing as how I don't have a facebook, you'll never know!!! MUAHAHAHA.

just kidding.

well, for one, I just graduated from the coolest of cool schools that you wish you went to: http://www2.brooklyn.liu.edu/globalcollege/

Secondly, I am fairly religious, which is why we will not be traveling on saturdays.

Tricycle, my day gets messed up if i dont have a good breakfast. usually raisin bran.

i love npr and dancing; i'm straight-edge but not lame; i am a census enumerator; I know good grammar but I hate to use it; and I’m not nervous at all for the trip. Just kidding — I am, but it’s all under control. Just kidding — it’s not under control, it’s under a bus. Just kidding — there’s no bus in here, but there’s one on the corner. Just kidding — there’s no bus. Just kidding — there is, and it comes at 10:00, 12:00, 2:00 and 4:30. Just kidding — it comes at 11:15, 2:30, 6:15, and 7:00. Just kidding — that’s not it, but the nighttime schedule is changing and it’s not out yet. Just kidding — it is out. it’s out on the town with its new girlfriend, I wonder where they’re going? Just kidding — schedules can’t have girlfriends. Just kidding — they can, I dated one. Just kidding — I did, but it didn’t work out. Just kidding —

So i still have to pack, clean the whole house, work a few more hours so i can eat for a few more days on the trip, and get over the breakup/lack of puppy. which is nothing compared to the amount of stuff i want to do once we begin the trip! mainly see the country, meet awesome people, and figure out myself and my life and what i want to do, and read a hundred books...right.

the good news is I have over a grand saved up for the trip! woooot!

AND i have secured us a place to stay in NOLA. couchsurfing is the best!!

Don't worry, you wont get posts like this from me all the time. You'll get your regular Tom fix. He'll be back from mountain jam soon so I'm sure you'll get the report on an awesome possum time!
