Flooding Is Fun and Educational - Weekend

Rain is CRAZY.

You know in movies, when they have a torrential downpour and see people come out of that rain, and you think "There's no way that person got that wet, that quick."? It happens. By the end of the night, I had bubbles in my shoes. BUBBLES.

Lu-Lu's ended up being a TON of fun. We amassed me, Trin, Molly, Bryan from Japanese, Greg from Molly's general floor (the third one I know. I'm thinking they need exponents), Joiner/Adrian and Matt. I think that's everyone. Yeah.

Tried to seek shelter from the torrentiallness of it all under Bryan's umbrella and hit a parking meter. Yes. Third parking meter I've neglected to notice while walking. Points for me in the fact that it was dark and raining.

Lu-Lu's was awesome again, no one is surprised. I skipped with Matt a good block of the way there. We were given "chopwsticks" when we arrived and it seems that Greg to the third hadn't had anything Asian before. So, not only did we have to secure his "chopwsticks" with Molly's hair tie, he hadn't even had something as common as General Tso's. Shock and Dismay, even my craptastic hometown had a Chinese place. We managed, and even had a few chopstick wars involing throwing stuff in each others drinks. We were all randomly loud, and they probably wanted us out as fast as humanly possible.

We HAD to get some mango ice cream of course, as I refused to go to Lu Lu's without having had that. Molly fed me a smidge of redbean ice cream, which was just as fabulous. We took to reciting jingles from television ( I still know Stick Stickly's address) and singing "Cat, I' a Kitty Cat, and I dance, dance, dance, and I dance, dance, dance..." Molly fed me some gum to shut me up. This resulted in pouting, which resulted in pats on the head. ("I love you too, dear, I just want you to shut up.")

Matt sang a song about an exploding toilet on the way home. I need to ask him to sing it for me again, it was a trip. I hope Bryan wasn't too completely "what the heck have I subjected myself to?".

Several minutes later, Molly took off across the cathedral lawn with Matt and I in tow. We came to river which was formally a sidewalk. Matt was carried across as he was in sandals, or just because, I don't really know. I was just merrily watching, and then was asked if I wanted to be carried. I protested that she couldn't pick me up.

"How much?"

"*insert weight here*"

Note to self. She evidently CAN pick me up.
