Randoms

I had a dream last night about someone I haven't seen in a few years. The dream was realistic because she was the same way in the dream as she had been in a real life. Really sweet and funny, but kind of mysterious and evasive. And then you wake up thinking about this person a lot, even though you haven't thought about them at all over the past several months. But now the questions is, do you just let the dream slide by or do you make an effort to reach out and get in touch with the person? I'll probably do nothing because, you know, I'm a coward and all...

Do the birds around the world talk to each other and say, hey let's go to this city, we can do whatever the hell we want and no one cares? It's no secret that I have a bit of a flinching problem, but being in a city where birds will just swoop in out of nowhere is giving me fits. Every time I see movement out of the corner of my eye, a mini-seizure ensues. It's just like in Paris, where the birds were playing target practice with both Will's head and mine, swooping in as close as they could before veering off at the last second. Once I even yelled "Will!" when a bird was headed straight for the huge noggin. He looked up and dove to the ground dramatically at the last second. The bird flew off, and I laughed so hard I peed a little bit. The locals were shaking their head at us by this point.

Where does falling asleep on the bus or subway and missing your stop rank as far as embarrassing life moments go? Probably somewhere between a sex tape showing up on the internet and having to give a speech on ovaltine.

What does it take to get a 60-year old man to start growing a mustache again after 25 years? I've been pestering my dad, but he just won't budge.

If you are the type of person who likes to hug a lot, if you go from half hugging a person for a long time to finally full hugging them, would that moment signal a leap in your friendship if no alcohol is involved?

Not going to the dentist for six years probably isn't the best decision to make if you're concerned about your personal health. And also flossing desperately a couple of nights before you go to the dentist to make up for the countless days of inactivity.....that doesn't fool anyone.
