Merrily we roll along

So here's a story.
Bear picked me up yesterday so we could go to Outback to see Croatia. Now let me set the scene for you, we were the 2nd car in line at a busy intersection and case asked me to have bear go pick her up from cazadors [yum], so he began to move into the left-turn lane...that's when the freight train horn sounded, we glanced behind ourselves- expecting to see a freight train- but only saw a car...that's when we nudged into the van in front of us and the simple car that was behind us morphed into a police car with flashing lights and sirens. After the Officer [Jenkins] made sure no damage was done, he went on to heckle Bear by telling him how embarassed he should be and also, he requested that I yell at Bear and let him know that he had done wrong. Oh Officer Jenkins, what a bastard. :)

Another story.
Case and I went to the school today to visit our teachers past. It was a pretty good time had by all; definitely enjoyed letting Shappy know how well I'm doing- contrary to what he may have believed. But I digress, the point of this story is actually what happened AFTER our visit to the school.
So Case and I went to CJ's Bagel Basket (yum.yum.yum.) and to my great pleasure, a few other friends were enjoying a bagel or two at the restaurant. So Case and I joined them and I began to ask if any of them would like to go heckle this one teacher (it sounds lame, but there's such a back story) and when they asked "why?" I explained to them that she is a "whore". Normally, this would be no big deal but to my great displeasure, I turned around to find myself face to face with the mother of my "little" (from Big Brothers Big Sisters)...
yes, that's right. I called a teacher a "whore" in front of someone who trusted me to be a great role model and look after her daughter.
whoops. i had no idea how to handle that situation- it was so embarassing.

But luckily I've recovered from these events. And just minutes ago, Bear & Case & JW left my house after a really great pseudo snowball fight. It was "pseudo" because there was no malicious intent and thus, the snowballs were more "lobbed" instead of "thrown". But again, I digress.
Mostly, I just love my friends and I definitely think you should be jealous of me. Because mes amis sont les meilleurs et ils sont plus chouettes que tes amis.

And how.
