About Me:
I'm in the middle of a greasy diner on a bright Friday
afternoon in October. Somewhere, oh, let's say in
Vermont. On my plate you find pot roast, mashies,
biscuits, and gravy on everything. I'm drinking a Pabst
Blue Ribbon from a can and I spill a bit on the Vermont
road map I have in front of me. I have Tracy
Chapman's "Fast Car" playing repeat on my headphones, but I
keep one ear open for the waitress who will ask soon if I
want another PBR. I skipped out of New York City late last
night, telling people around me I was going out for
smokes. Rented a car, called in sick to work, and realize
with wild abandon that my cell phone gets absolutely no
reception here. No one know where I am and I have no
obligations to anyone. I forego the 2nd beer, pay up, and
slide into the driver's seat of the rental car. The map is
folded wrong and I think to myself that I'll have to fix it
later. Car goes into reverse, and I back out of the
parking lot, slipping Lucinda Williams' "Car Wheels on a
Gravel Road" into the CD player. I switch to drive and
coast out onto the road. I have no idea where I'm going.
It's 2:00 in the afternoon and I have 65 hours of weekend
left before Monday morning. I plan to be lost for about 60
of them.

Who I Want to Meet:
Someone from Rhode Island (so I know it actually exists),
lesbians, drag queens, people who speak Norwegian, story
tellers, singers in the park and walkers in the rain,
someone else who doesn't like "Seinfeld" (there's gotta one
or two of you out there), campers/hikers who really
camp/hike, someone with a car that would let me borrow it
whenever I want to try out a new CD, road trippers, clock
watchers, beer guzzlers, joke tellers, and anyone who can
tell me how they build tunnels under water. For real.

Testimonials and Comments for Randy
i'm moving up there this summer-abouts. let's be friends. :)
women are just as strong and
resilient as you MEN."; "It's the day
of the show, y'all."; and my personal
favorite: "That ain't no feed storage
bin!!" Yes, much like Corky St. Clair,
Randy ended his career as an actor
to work in the hallowed halls of McGraw-
Hill, and we're all the better for it.
That's funny.
nice, but that would be out of
character. Even though he's MUCH
older, I feel that we were separated
at birth. We have so much in common.
I like to drink, he likes to drink. I
like the idea of drinks while getting
a manicure, low and behold, so does
he. I like to eat AND drink, well you
get the picture. Not to mention our
lesbian ties. We are going to be the
hot new dramatic lesbians on the "L
Word." How DARE you! *slap* That's
funny.
I've seen Randy, I have such wonderful
memories of the time I spent with
him...Whenever I hear the Indigo Girls
I think of him and how he made me feel
so welcome when he was a big bad
senior and I was a lowly freshman.
Indigo Girls. I think he's a lesbian.
And doesn't he look a lot like Bjork
when he covers his mouth? Crazy. But
really, Randy is a great friend and I'm
glad he moved from Chicago. Nothing
against Chicago, but that place is cold
and windy. Somebody should figure
something clever to call Chicago and
incorporate how windy it is there.
Just like how I couldn't sleep one
night, so I nicknamed New York 'The
City that Doesn't Sleep'. Isn't that
good? See, only hanging out with Randy
can you come up with such wonderful
things. He's an inspiration. Oh- and
he really REALLY likes burritos.
have ever, ever met. And that is only
one of the reasons why I love him so.
After dashing through Ireland with him
(shoving down countless McVities
biscuits and guzzling many pints o'
Guinness), I would choose this tart to
travel to the ends of the earth with
me. Because he loves Anne of Green
Gables almost as much as me. He is,
indeed, a kindred spirit.
is a noun, except when it's not. How's
that for a mindfuck?
sweetheart. He's that man from your
past that you wish you'd made out with
about a dozen more times than you did
(or didn't). Heed my advice, as I've
learned your lesson for you: love this
boy as passionately and often as you
can because he's one in five billion.
...oh and Randy we're totally making
out next time I see you.
days at university have Randy in them.
For example, my very first day on
campus I saw this beautiful boy in a
red soccer shirt wandering around the
registration lines. And I
thought, "Wow. What an awesome shirt.
Maybe I can make friends with him and
he'll let me borrow it. And then we
can totally make out." Oh well, one
out of two ain't bad.
mean... huh huh.
