friday the 13th came and went. it appears i am still alive.

molly and allyson have been sent off to nationals with a two page scavenger hunt of wacky. sample items include Covin (1,000,000 pts.), mullets (50 pts. each), a live mouse (500 pts.), and barf bag puppets of P and Hawk (100 pts. each). extra points will be awarded for pictures of inflatable mascots, molly touching a clown, allyson touching a squirrel, and kimmy kissing a picture of hitler. it was decided that acquiring a certain signature braid would warrant "winning" the scavenger hunt. i suppose doing well at nationals would also warrant the title of "winning," but i think sam would do just as well with a stolen hotel-copy gideon's bible (100 pts).

as for the personal life, things are a bit crazy right now. for those of you who have been *out* of it, yes - i have not been answering my cell phone. i apologize for the inconvenience and the fact that i've been a sucky friend or for giving the appearance that i am dead, but frankly, i'm lazy and... otherwise occupied. maybe there's a reason i haven't been answering your calls, or maybe i've just accidentally missed them... either way, i suppose all will be revealed in time. or at least before i leave for reed. and for those of you who are *in* on all of this, those movies are due back later today. considering the gravity of the situation, perhaps i shouldn't be so casual about this, but... hot damn, this smells like a showdown!!
