didn't you want to know?

i really need to do laundry. i should be doing it right
now, but instead i am writing in my little online journal,
so that everyone in the world can know that i have
resorted to wearing thongs because i am completely out of
regular underwear. in fact, i'm almost out of thongs, too.
the ones i've got on now are one size too big for me, and
so is the solitary pair that is left. what i don't
understand is why it's called a pair of underwear
(plural), and then a bra is just a bra (singular). either
way, all my undergarments are dirty and desperately need
to be washed, so i think that tonight my mission is to do
laundry. i also need to study for my Psych. exam, which is
tomorrow. either that or i could do neither, and then i
could tell my Psych. teacher that i missed the test
because i had no clean clothes, and he didn't want me
coming to class wearing dirty underwear, did he? or worse
yet, naked? or maybe he wouldn't mind, because i'd simply
be demonstrating some of the things we've been taught
because i'd be "breaking a social norm." and then i'd be
known by the class as "the weird girl who came to class
with dirty underwear on" and i'd be ruined for life. but
seriously, i don't wear dirty underwear, and don't plan on
it, so i have to wash clothes tonight. i do, however,
break social norms all the time. i wear my ugly orange
trucker's hats that say "may i help you?" and "courtesy
patrol" on them to the dining halls every once in a blue
moon just to see what kind of reaction i get. and the
other day coming out of Theater class five of us yelled a
rousing rendition of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame." i must
say we startled some of the passerby outside when we burst
out the doors of Jesse Hall mid-chorus. i'm sure i do
plenty of other strange things that most people don't
think to do, but that's the beauty of a college campus.
it's kind of understood and accepted that there will be
whackos like myself wandering around, waiting for the best
moment to strike.....the other day on the way to Econ i
saw a girl up in a tree, backpack on and everything, just
standing there watching people on their way to class. i
bet lots of people thought she was really strange. i just
wished i'd thought of it first. anyway, it's time for me
to go scrounge up some quarters. goodnight, good morning,
good afternoon- whatever makes you happy, it's all the
same to me....
