In the words of Ron Burgundy, "That's amazing, I'm not even mad!"



I write, finally, at the request of one Laura H. and Meghan V. The following events are a true story. The names have not been changed.

It was Friday, February 25, 2005, about 10:00 PM. Laura, Meghan and I were walking from north deck to Coldstone Creamery for some well deserved ice cream. We crossed Broad and had been downtown for no more than 20 seconds when I hear this SMACK and I jump in the air. Laughing, I turn to Laura and say "Why did you just slap my butt????"

Laura looks at me blankly and says "That was definitely not me."

I turn around, and lo and behold! Some guy is running down Broad in the opposite direction from me. That's right. I got spanked. Hit and run.

I tried to be mad, but as the title of this entry foreshadowed, I laughed so hard I cried. Man, I got seriously smacked. Not just love tap or pinch, but BAM. It was loud. Laura and Meghan and I tried to make it to Coldstone but we could hardly walk we were laughing so hard. For some reason I turn around, and the guy is right behind me again. Not like ten feet behind me, but suspiciously close. I said "Dude, not cool..."

Him: "Sorry... but I got paid ten bucks to do it..."

Me: "You owe me five. Seriously. Pay now."

He did not pay.

Recap: I got spanked, he made a profit, my butt is worth the exact amount of ten dollars, and then Meghan bought my ice cream. Then Meghan made me ring the victory bell. I have never had a more random night. Sometimes I wish I could film parts of my life, because it would be the weirdest movie ever.

I should have just kicked him in the face. Lol, but it was too funny.

If you see a fairly attractive guy on campus with a green baseball shirt, tell him I expect ten dollars ASAP. And then please kick him in the face.

And nothing else I could write in here compares to that story. If there ever was an entry to comment on, this was it. Hit and run spanking. Unbelievable.

Gorgeous!


Well, these pictures are of Cannes, France. Not where I will be staying, but where I will spend my days for the first ten days of my trip. In the bottom picture you can almost see the red carpet! I looked on the Cannes website, and saw lots of pictures of movie stars there. Most importantly, the newly single Brad Pitt was there. Another star that falls into the category of "Molly's Future Husbands" is reported to be there this year. That's right, Ewan McGregor!!!!!!!! Wooo! Also the third episode of the new Star Wars will premier at Cannes before the US. Excelllent. I mean, wait... I think I am only allowed to watch weird and/or foreign films while I am there. Crap.

Anyway, still excited.


On a completely different note, I really like the Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper commercial. What a crazy soda invention.

Gilmore Girls, bye.

Juan-Les-Pins, France



In three months, I will be in chilling out right here, in Juan-Les-Pins, France. It's a small city on the coast of the Mediterranean, shadowed by the Alps. It's a small distance east of Cannes, where I will be attending the Cannes Film Festival (THE CANNES FILM FESTIVAL!!!!!!!!!!). I will then be taking journalism classes. Hopefully I will be spending much more time chilling out in cafe's or on the coast than in my apartment there. I am so excited! I haven't looked forward to something this much since going away to college. I don't know a single soul going on this trip with me, I don't know any of the faculty (minus my awkward interview with two of the professors), and I've never taken a journalism class; but I am so excited and this is EXACTLY the kind of thing I have always wanted to do. I've been to France before, but this trip promises to be so amazing. I get to combine my love for writing, pop culture, a language that i love, foreign places, and an AMAZING new town. I need to brush up on my francais.

I hope I meet lots of wonderful people and I hope I get to speak lots of French. I might even see a few movie stars at the film festival!

I don't even know what I am going to need for this trip. Seriously, I think I am going to want to stay much longer than my classes. If Megan K. and Laura H. do the Italy thing for maymester I think we are going to meet up afterwards, see the world, etc etc! I've always wanted to say, "Remember that time in Europe?"

Well, for the next three months you will hear about this a lot!! AHH I can't wait!

Goodnight :)

Hmm, blog..... haven't posted in a while.

Candy on sale today!! I finally found the point of valentine's day, besides that you get to wear red and/or pink. But people don't pinch you if you don't sport one of these colors. What's that about? St. Valentine and St. Patrick had completely different standards.

So I have this class on monday nights that lasts THREE HOURS. It's torture. Last night, however, was classic. It was like SPED 2000: Singles Night, in that everyone who had V-day reservations skipped. Also, I stayed specifically because I knew she was going to take attendance. She did not. I lose. I didn't even finish the crossword puzzle in the Red and Black.

IT WAS LINDSEYS BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

My recital is on March 24th at 5:00 PM in Edge Recital Hall. That was your formal invitation.



Dear School of Music,

I have determined that in order to maintain morale of students and professors, it might be a good idea to consider building a mini-golf course in the lobby or maybe on the fifth floor. Also perhaps a petting zoo with non-smelly animals would be entertaining and soothing.

Thank you for your consideration,

Molly B. Martin



Good grief, I am thirsty. Coca-cola! Go!


Goodnight.

Now we're standing facing west
Tracing my fingers around the silhouette
I haven't gotten used to it yet
But it's the brightest thing I've got...

When I'm covered in rain
When I'm covered in rain...
