Rachel,

I legitimately believe that Awkward Eagle could be the next internet sensation. I already have enough life experiences to post about 2000 things to get the ball rolling. I think you should look into it.

I'm serious.

I also forget what else you said. Normally I am diligent and keep your post open in another tab so that I can refer back to it, but I don't feel like being diligent today. I do remember you challenging my typing skills... that is a challenge I will accept. I can blow you out of the water any day. ANY DAY. I don't think I'll accept the voicemail challenge, though. That's just not my style. And by that, I mean talking on the phone. That's why we blog.

HURRAY FOR BORDERS!!!!!!!!!!!! I am currently at Borders, and they are playing a CHRISTMAS SONG!!!!!!! The First Noel, sax style. It's so classy, and it melts my heart even more than this latte. Actually this latte isn't that great... it's pumpkin spice, but it kind of taste like someone put some Old Spice into a latte. Parody video????! But yeah, Danli and I decided to come downtown and work at Borders today instead of staying at the office. Our boss is cool and let's us work elsewhere. (Side note: he's nerdy and white as can be, but yesterday let us in on his secret past desire to be a DJ... he even danced for us a little. Highlight of my year.) Many things led to this decision. I will list them for you:

1. Discovering our mutual love of bookstores.

2. Driving by this Borders the other day and seeing a free Wi-Fi sign, AND a Seattle's Best Cafe sign.

3. Googling the bookstore and discovering that on Fridays, if you purchase a bag of Seattle's Best coffee, you get a free medium drink.

4. Opening my email today to find Borders coupons.

So as you can see, the decision was inevitable. Of course I am here, and I am enjoying it greatly. First because this is probably the coolest Borders ever. Indianapolis is actually super cool downtown, and this building is old, and has huge tall ornate ceilings and chandeliers and pillars, all marble and gold and stuff. LOVE it. Secondly, because there are currently around 500-1000 young adults meandering around me, all wearing navy jackets with a state written on the back... Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Florida, Kansas, etc. I caught one and asked him what they were here for. It's an FFA convention. Future Farmers of America. They are soooooo funny to watch!!! I have already seen them dodge traffic, get lost, and drink lattes with a straw. A STRAW, Rachel. Farmers, indeed.

I'm sorry. That was occupation-ist.

As you already know from my pix message this morning, I am wearing my Sheldon Bazinga T-shirt. So far, it has received rave reviews. And by rave reviews, I mean one person really liked it. It's extra funny because it's cold, so I'm wearing my black cardigan buttoned up on top of it, and so just the very top of Sheldon's head shows. At moments when I move around, one eye will peep out ever so creepily. It's golden.

So far you and dwentzel have done a poor job of taking over my wall. I am disappointed with your efforts.

I went to the gym yesterday. I am sore. That rowing machine is hardcore. Also, I am even more assured about my decision to use the elliptical instead of the treadmill. 1) We all know I can't run. 2) I creeped on the treadmill users, and I burned more calories than they did in the same amount of time.

I googled Taylor Momsen this morning to see if she has parents. She does. With all her stripping, non-clothes wearing, drinking, smoking, partying, porn, cursing, and eyeliner, I wasn't quite sure.

I am going to go use my coupon,

Becca
