| 25.9.15 02:35 | | OK, two statuses coming up - this'll be the wacky one and then there'll be a mushy one after it. I'm throwing myself on the mercy of Facebook's algorithm to decide which one (or both) you get a chance to read.
Coming out of the Lynx playoff win - which felt GREAT - I couldn't help but notice all the leftover pom poms all over the arena. Not entirely sure of my plan, I nonetheless gathered up a baker's dozen to walk to Lee's from the Target Center (after getting lost walking around Target Field, as I usually seem to do). Since I had some time to think about things on that walk, I came up with a pretty good plan to hand them out to complete strangers...which would also force me to attempt to interact with some complete strangers, which is something I'm trying to do a little more. And, you know, they weren't really COMPLETE strangers - probably everybody at Berni's thing tonight was a friend of a friend at worst...well, except for the random Twins fans who had no idea what they'd walked into. (I think they still had fun.)
ANYWAY. Because I've been to all of two Trailer Park Queen shows - one of which actually WASN'T because that's the one Berni missed - I did actually formulate the perfect moment to make sure I'd passed out the pom poms: in time for the extended medley of solos during the bridge of "My Vagina." I may have been taking a leap of faith that that particular track was on the set list...but it seemed like a safe bet as the band's really good at it. (What it is is a parody of "My Sharona" but they extend the solo with a little "Freebird." You probably have to be there to truly appreciate its greatness.)
Despite not having had any liquid courage all night, I still managed to coax ten other folks to pick up a pom pom (having already handed out two earlier in the night to friends) and we were all ready to thrash during the solo. And it was super cool! Berni told me later that she loved it and that it was a bit of a throwback to when she had some cheerleaders performing with the band, spelling out "vagina," of course. I sure hope I have remembered the details of that story correctly.
So, I didn't know where I was going, but I got there in the end, and the plan came together. Also, several women wore pom poms in their boots for the rest of the night, which looked cool. I wasn't wearing boots, so I stuffed mine in my back pocket. |

| OK, here's the mushy one. I was reminded a couple times tonight that I don't always take the opportunity to let the people around me know how much I appreciate them and care that they're around. Sometimes I'm scared that saying stuff like that just weirds people out and we're all better off if I leave it unsaid...although usually *I* don't feel better off. Sometimes I've been a little too late and lost that chance and those times it's hit me pretty hard. So this is a longish (well, not for me, but you get the idea), actually pretty selfish way of saying I'm awful fond of most of you and hopefully you already know that but hopefully you don't mind that I've said it again or that I said "I" so much when I said it. By and large, I'm really glad both of us are still here. OK, good night, Facebook. Here's a Martika song my iPod shuffled up on the way home which seems apropos.
