 Hands down one of the funniest moments of my life.  Senior year,  high school.  Sioux City.  3.  Seeing 2 Skinnee J's for the second time,
 this time at the Ranch Bowl in Omaha.  It was some radio guys' birthday party with 5 bands on the bill.  It it was a hot,  sticky night in July.  Ranch Bowl oversold the tickets by 100.  No air conditioning.
 Kristen,  Leah,  and I were in the front among hot and sweaty people.  We were being doused with water.  The J's were the last band to go on.  I didn't think I was going to make it out alive.
 It was the best concert I've ever been to.  July,  2001.  5.  Graduating from college.  Ah .
 It feels so good to be free.  I'm glad I went through the ceremony because it felt so exciting to walk across the stage,  shake President Geoffroy's hand,  hear my family and Drew cheer me on,  and know that everything I've learned in my life was worth it.  August,
 2003.  9.  There were many nights were Kristen,  Leah,  Erin,  Kathy and I would spend driving around endlessly in Sioux City listening to the ghetto tape.
 Ah yes .  those were the days.  It doesn't sound very fun,  but when you have nothing to do,  even the most mundane things are hilarious.  Summer,
 1999 11.  Sophomore year in the dorms,  Kristen and I hosted hump day Wednesdays where our friends would get together and play asshole and get drunk all night long.  On this particular occassion,  a friend of ours spilled his beer and without pausing,  he slurped it up from our carpet.
 That also may be the night when Chuck got on the phone and called the annoying girl down the hall and told her to go order a pizza ( is that how it happened?  I can't even remember?  It was very fun.  Good times.  :
