More specifically: The couple next to me (graduate students, from what I can tell—lady is vaguely science-y, bro projecting MBA vibes) is freaking out about missing a concert in New York tonight and I’m dying to lean over and ask what they’ve got tickets for.

“She always seemed clean; in fact she seemed abnormally healthy. A hippie who would say things like “none of your beeswax”, or commenting on food, “this is really mellow chili”.

When I was in 5th grade, my friend Erin asked me to keep her company during her younger sister’s birthday slumber party. We spent most of the night watching usually-forbidden episodes of Melrose Place in the guest bedroom, but at some point we got the bright idea to hide in the sleeping bags of the younger girls and then jump out and scare them.
