Once upon a whatever ever after

Rory: Mom, I want you to meet Marty

Lorelai: Oh, naked guy.

Marty: You told your mother about me.

Rory: Umm, yeah well I included some anecdotes where you were actually clothed.

Marty: Ahh, I appreciate that.

Richard: And who is this young man?

Rory: This is Marty. He lives in my residence hall.

Emily: It’s very nice to meet you Marty!

Richard: Why did my daughter just call you naked guy?

Rory: I now owe you money.

Marty: I, uh had an unfortunate experience with a keg and a party and a need to take my clothes off and fall asleep in a hallway.

Emily: Oh, my goodness.

Richard: Oh, please! That’s nothing. I was naked an entire month my sophomore year.

Rory: What?

Lorelai: Welcome to tonights episode of things I never needed to know about my father.

Richard: I, and a group of like minded young men decided to protest the new dress code by wearing silk ties, and nothing else. We were written up by the dean of admissions and threatened with expulsion. We were also suddenly very popular with the ladies.

Emily: Ah yes. This is exactly the kind of conversation I had hoped we would have with our granddaughter and her friend.

Richard: One night in the hallway does not a true naked guy make my friend.

Emily: Would you like to eat with us Marty?

Marty: Oh, I would love to. It looks amazing, but I have to go. There’s kind of a party going on over on the lawn and I actually came by to see if Rory wanted to stop by for a little while.

Rory: Oh, I can’t.

Richard: Nonsense, of course you can go. Go visit your friends, I insist.

Rory: Are you sure?

Richard: Go. We’ve got plenty of time before the kickoff, go.

Rory: Okay

Emily: Take this with you. (handing him food)

Marty: Thanks. It was nice meeting you. Obi Wan. (he bows to Richard)

Richard: I like that boy.

Lorelai: Prove it! Drop your pants.

·      had the time of my life in my last year of show choir <3

·      went to an Imogen Heap concert. She is so wonderful

·      sang a solo and didn’t feel terrified

·      performed in a Queen recognition concert with Orchestra Iowa. One of the best moments of the year and it was with my best friend in the whole world

·      realized how much I really missed writing because of an inspired English teacher

·      read very little. (Throw me some book recs!)

·      did costuming for The Wizard of Oz at my high school

·      wore a fantastically poofy prom dress and had an amazing night with some really amazing people

·      finished piano lessons after 10 years with my sweetheart of a teacher

·      got a tumblr J

·      graduated from high school. Awesome, but still bittersweet

·      turned 18, and really…there’s nothing special about it

·      was diagnosed with a gluten/wheat allergy

·      was stomach pain free for the first time in 5 years (for more than a weekJ)

·      learned to live without sandwiches

·      realized how much more I need to see my family

·      saw a lot of friends get hurt

·      lost my east coast family without knowing why

·      cried. Not much outside of movies though, which was a nice change

·      worked at a shaved ice shack all summer with the best boss ever

·      realized how many people truly are afraid to be themselves

·      went to college

·      had an “oh my god, that actually happened” moment. I feel like I need to tell you about it! I was in an elevator after eating dinner on a September night at college. The only other person in the elevator was a (very cute) boy. He started talking to me. Why, I do not know. Anyways, he ended up walking with me all the way to my dorm. The truly amazing part was when he said this. “I would normally ask for your number, but I’m not going to. If I see you again, we’ll know it was meant to be, but if not, then the memory of a particular image is but regret for a particular moment, I’ll see you again.” Then he walked away. He quoted Swann’s Way, which is my favorite piece of literature in the universe. I didn’t tell him I loved that novel, and he said that! I haven’t seen him yet, but I don’t think it matters. It was cheesier than ever, and you might say he was trying a little too hard, but it was just such a wonderful moment

·      found another four leaf clover (that makes four of them)

·      cut my own hair AND it looked good

·      spent a weekend in Chicago with my mom and (soon-to-have-been) stepsister doing all sorts of wedding shopping! Soo fun!

·      went to Lake of the Ozarks and this time my best friend went along! I also gained a new friend! I had such a great time with everyone there. My best friend was having a really hard time but she told me she felt free when we were there. I am so lucky to have her as a friend. My new friend is so amazing and I’m lucky to have met her.  My sister and I have so much fun at the lake and this year was the same! I love having her to go there with! I’m such a lucky girl
