it's really funny how a few beers, a sproingy bouncy ball, and screaming random words out loud can equal a great night.

the apex of S&A coming over last night was when the two of them, April, and I were all standing at different points in the room, tossing and trying to bounce this weird ball I have that looks like it's made up of tiny Chinese fingercuffs cut in half. got that? anyway, it's pretty hard to control, so it ends up being a daunting task, especially when it's complicated by the need to shout out a word once it hits your hands.

so basically we ended up playing some weird sentence-building game with one person starting off the sentence when they tossed the ball in the air and the next person shouting out a word when the ball hit his or her hands. I don't think we even got a more than 6-word sentence. resulting phrases included "swivel titties monkey," "tumor DOWN!," "ungh ungh dirty faggot!," and others too stupid to recall. (n.b.: I never condone the use of the word "faggot" when used as hurtful slur, but when Amber yelled out that word last night after the three previous contributions I almost pissed my pants laughing.)

so basically, dorky, stupid fun. without leaving the house! and with a David Bowie soundtrack!

I get older every day.
