Today it has been 80 days since I did that thing I've wanted to do for a really really really long time. When I was little I thought that 20 would be a good age to do it. Then, as I got older, I revised my thinking and decided 18 was perfectly appropriate. And then I was 18, and when I hadn't done it I felt justified by the fact that, y'know, at least I was sticking to the initial plan. But then I was 20 and what do you know? It takes two to tango. And I didn't get to do it until 80 days ago, when I was 24 and a half.
80 is a nice round number. It feels like a long time. It's just over 1.5 dog years. (I used the calculator on my phone to figure that out while I was riding the bus on the way to my dentist. Also on that bus was a lady whose hair was square. Really.) And if I've been alive for about 9,026 days, that means I've only spent .8866% of my life as...one of those people who has done that thing. That statistic isn't particularly relevant...I should really calculate the time I've spent...doing that thing vs. the time I've spent doing anything else but I'll spare you the details and...no. I shouldn't be calculating anything.
I should just be condemned as the sicko that I am. I hope I don't have to wait another 8,946 days to do it again.

And you say you're not good at math...
ReplyDeleteYou and Marshall should get together and make some charts and graphs on big poster board. "Pie" charts and "bar" graphs. I need something more visually appealing than what you've provided here.
ReplyDeleteOh, Kelsey, first commenter is the worst. Second is the best. And since i already posted, I can't be the third in a polka dot dress. That's right, I said it.
ReplyDeleteMarshall's my man.
ReplyDeleteI heard the third was the one with the hairy chest.
ReplyDeleteThat's also what I heard. Occasionally the third has a treasure chest but that's only when the third is me.
ReplyDeleteI do have a hairy chest, that's true. But I'm still the best.
ReplyDeleteI believe the fourth wears a pretty dress, but I'm not sure what that means...
ReplyDeleteScore! I'm fourth! I get a pretty dress!
ReplyDeleteDamn comments are slow tonight. I guess I made this post too awkward. Or maybe this is getting old. Woot.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe it's lack of Jen!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'm just waiting for 100. Then we'll talk.
ReplyDeleteKelsey, I'm relying on you to take away any device that Jess could use for calculations. Also, the whole 80 days thing reminds me of "Around the World in 80 Days". Not relevant, but, ya know.
ReplyDelete100 days since "the event," or the 100th person to post? Btdubs, what is 5th?
ReplyDeletefourth is good
ReplyDeletefith is better
sixth is a bed wetter
Hmm...the sixth post is mine. But Justin was the sixth individual to post. Which one of us wets the bed?
ReplyDelete100 days since "the event". Sounds like a movie. Also, please stop using "btdubs". It's unbecoming of you.
ReplyDeleteOh, we should have a hundred nights party!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should celebrate a different 100 nights. This one might make me sad.
