ink_splotchWe have tickets! Tickets! It is now set in stone that Tessie and I will be going to see the Graduate on the 7th of October. I ended paying 13kr over to pick them up at the post office, because today was the last day to pick them up at the theatre, but the theatre didn't open until 15.30 - and I was out of school at 13.15, so yeah. But I have tickets OMG!
Speaking of the Graduate, I was in at the bank earlier picking up money for my fatherthe mobster, for our respective vacations. And I was standing there, waiting for the bank lock (time set) to go up and let me get my euros, when my phone went off. For those who don't know - my ringtone is Mrs. Robinson. I am just that lame. So anyway, I hop about a bit, before diving for my phone, which was, as it always is, at the bottom of my bag. And this little old lady next to me, anywhere between 60-80, smiles at me and says 'Oh, I thought it was my phone.'
The conversation I had with Rasmus yesterday about how I'd skipped my teens and gone straight to middle age came rushing back.
Other fun things today include a discussion about barbie dolls. We were reading a short story called Barbie-Q, and then a discussion went up about how the girls in the story pretended to fight over a Ken-doll that they didn't have, and really, considered stupid looking. So, one girl said that playing with Barbies wasn't fun without a Ken doll. I looked affronted, so my teacher asked if I disagreed. And of course, I opened my big mouth and said 'Well, I never had any Ken dolls, and my Barbies were plenty of fun.' And my English teacher, my 69 year old English teacher raised an eyebrow and said 'I don't think that would surprise anyone.'
At least my entire class was amused. It later led to Yasmin and Signe deciding that they had finally found the reason behind lesbianism - lack of Barbies.
All in all, I've had an awesome day. Awesome. But I am, however, really jealous of my American friends with NBC. I want to see the Siegfreid and Roy special too!
