"This bitch is jealous 'cause I'm a size six and I'm a MAN!"

Cool thing? Drag show at a gay bar club. I missed the male stripper, though, because I was trying to find the rest of the group.

I did take notes on the drag show, and because my job is to be overanalytical, I noticed who the MC abused, who the MC flirted with, how the audience was reacting by gender, and what songs they were doing, as far as I could tell. They opened with "When Your Good To Mama," which: AWESOME.

Not so cool things? Smoke and heat making it difficult to breathe; music so loud everything was muffled for about two minutes after we left the club; getting hopelessly lost upon leaving the club and looking for the bus stop; not being sure that the buses are actually still running at 1:30 AM.

But cool thing? As I got ready to leave the dorm, I thought "Gee, Mom would tell me to bring taxi money. Guess I'll bring $30, that'll cover anything."

And then what do we do but take a taxi back to the dorms, and who ends up paying but me.

Moms really do know what they're doing.

She'll be so smug when I tell her. It'll be like early Christmas.

Anyway, now I'm GROSS GROSS GROSS. Is shower tiem.

Mememememe

My Interp. & Argument teacher kept using the word "meaning" in class the other day, and I kept mishearing it as "meme," because "meme" would've worked almost as well in context.

Of course, the chances that any other people in my Interp. & Argument class know the actual definition of "meme" are slim. Not non-existent! I can think of a couple people who might be computer/sociologically geeky enough to know. But not many.

Now I am struck by a desire to find every excuse I can to use "meme" in sentences. There's gotta be a dramaturgical application for it -- there's a dramaturgical application for practically anything, if you look hard enough.
