In which I am awesome.

I joined some friends for 80s night at the local bowling alley this evening. In between games, drinks, and impromptu boogie sessions there were a number of free passes up for grabs.

The first two went to the proud owners of strikes; the last was left for some undefined thing. At one point the DJ declared that he wasn't sure what to do with it, whereupon I turned to him, made eye contact, and pointed at myself with both hands - in the classic "right here!" gesture. He laughed and said he'd think about it.

At the end of the night we were packing up to leave, and guess who was flagged down to receive a free pass for being awesome?

Uh-huh.

Anyone want to go bowling?

"High school is the bottom. Being a teenager sucks, but that's the point - surviving it is the whole point."

A song you liked in high school
"Still in Hollywood," Concrete Blonde.

I must admit that I rather resent the implication of this day's heading. I don't want to give anyone the impression that I no longer like this song, because I very much do. But no other band encapsulates my high school experience like Blonde does. I discovered them through a sophomore year crush and grew to love them on their own merits over the years. Their music continued to see me through the awkwardnesses of adolescence and young adulthood long after that crush had gone the way of the dodo. And Concrete Blonde's gone that way as well sadly, but the legacy lives on.
