HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LISA

Today is Lisa's birthday!! A day to make you feel a bit older than usual. 18 is a fun number ain't it, where you get the stuff that you don't really want or need, and now you can't get the free things that you had before when you were still a minor. Being 18 is a swell time, now you can call yourself in when you're not sick and get away with it. Not only that, credit carditeers will start to come and ask "do you want to join Capital One? We have an account all ready for you." It makes you feel kind of special in a sense.

Lisa is a fun person to hang out with, because she can speak her mind and not really care what the other person is thinking. She has a keen sense of style and she's really good with words making her a hilarious person to talk to. Having a colloquial conversation, and Lisa can come in with some extravagant word that makes you stop and think. I don't really memorize her words that were out there, but they were three syllable words. Maybe four.. Can't really remember. But that's alright.

In health careers, we had to do this teeth brushing thingermabob where we are to brush each other's teeth. Lisa was my partner, and it was really great how when someone is laughing, they bite down on the toothbrush which makes it impossible to brush the individual's teeth. Or maybe it was embarrassment that made Lisa clamp down on the toothbrush.. but either way, it was pretty intense. And you might not notice this, but when we brush out teeth and we spit out the water, there is a lot of those spit stringy things. The same day, we had to feed each other too. Devin was in our group (I hope I spelled his name right) and he was feeding Lisa the applesauce. Once the spoon was in her mouth, he did this twist thing as if to pour the applesauce into her mouth. Think about it, spoon in mouth, mouth is closed, and spoon twists. That must've been a fun experience :]

Dear old Lisa has been a real great pal and I'm glad to call her my friend. I hope Mr. Duncan is not bothered by me posting up birthday congratulations on the Westview AP Literature Mr. Duncan blog, because these people are the ones that really know how to make a kid's day, and I want to recognize them. Happy birthday Lisa, and I hope your day goes better than you have planned.

Haha, I remember AP Bio with Lisa. Even though I didn't really know her then, we ended up as partners for this one thing that I won't go into detail about, but, our baby ended up winning!

...Maybe that was one of those things where the details are important...

Alright so, we were doing the chapter on genes, and we had to partner up and flip coins to determine what genes the kid would get from each "parent." Of course, with me as the "father" and Lisa as "mother," our lucky little kiddo won the class beauty pagent by popular vote. I guess I should mention that Lisa was the one who actually drew and colored the child. I just kinda made the outlines of the head and eyes and nose and mouth and such.

Anyways

Good times. Happy birthday, you'll never be a minor again!
