| | Fenmerian (?) Movie night and Birka planning
Yesterday was further proof that I have, indeed, graduated from college. Believe it or not. Or, better yet, accept it or not. I am still getting the Fenmere emails, so I joined the girls (and two guys! WOW, 2!) for movie night at Danielle's. There were 3 movies we were considering, all appropriately anachronistic: (a)Robin Hood: Men in Tights, (b)Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail and of course, the most anachronistic thing ever, (c) A Knight's Tale. We settled on (B) and watched, more or less mouthing all the lines along with the actors since, face it, who doesn't know the Black Knight scene?
It was fun, though somewhat strange for me, since I really had that feeling of, "Yup, this is the kind of thing that so only happens in college." I am not even sure which part I was having that reaction to, since I own the movie and can watch it whenever I want. But... I don't know. There was something there that just screamed "COLLEGE" to me. I miss it. Really. And yet, at the same time, I kind of like being past that part of my life. Yes, it is funny to sit there on grubby college dorm furnishings, eating chips and calling out, "But I'm not dead yet!" along with the 13" tv, but really.... something has changed. Maybe there really is hope for me after all and someday, I will grow up. Doubtful, really, but... well, we shall see.
In happier, and less philosophic, news, Fenmere has 9 people going to Birka! NINE! Yay. The club is really doing well and hopefully it will survive next year, even without Danielle, thanks to the efforts of all the enthusiastic freshmen, who are great. They'll love Birka! I am going to have to find a chemise, since all efforts to make one have been only semi-successful at best. So, I'll try to find one I can actually afford. How much can it be, right? (Yeah, I know... famous last words...)
Well, Birka is just a week away, now. I'll be driving down to Alewife to pick up Eve and then we'll be on our way! I am not sure yet how long we'll stay. I'd love to stay for the Birka Ball, but it will be kind of late and I do want to get home at a semi-reasonable time, so we'll see. That's the nice thing about having a car. I just hope the weather will cooperate! |
