"If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE. When you're finished, post this little paragraph in your journal and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you."

I really have to apologize for being the "bad influence" friend who gave you that marker and encouraged you to draw all over yourself with it. It seemed like a good idea at the time while we were playing that movie stars game. We thought we were beautiful all made up like that. Remember how we stood on the edge of the tub and used the shower curtain like a theater curtain? Good times!

Remember that time when we were out walking and found a lottery ticket in the gutter and it turned out to be a winner? That was awesome.

I remember crossing the Iowa tundra, in our dogsled pulled by three dozen Pomeranians -- "Everyone has huskies," you'd said. "Huskies are passe. Macho dogs for men compensating for undersized equipment. So Jack London. Besides, dogs with blue eyes are creepy. Pomeranians, that's the ticket! Massively distributed dogpower!"

I remember how the arctic winds in our face stole our breath -- stole a few toes, too, but we had some to spare in those halcyon days. It was just the bitter wind of an Iowa January, not the invigorating breeze of high-speed transit. Who could have known how important it was to only have one lead dog? And how inconsistent the hierarchies of 36 Pomeranians could be?

Not us, that was for sure. But at least we didn't have too far to walk back, and the distributed dogpower made for the toastiest dorm room north of Iowa City, and who could have asked for more?

That time after we went out for cheap beers and karaoke? You were trying to find a song you knew in the songbook, and we ended up doing all the '50s/'60s oldies, and we were laughing so hard we couldn't even sing... that was the best. :)

Remember that time we flew to Texas and went to the rodeo? Also the fair in Houston (Fat Stock Show?) Those cowboy's were cute.

I'm still sorry about the blender. I really did think those were drink mixes.

You know, I still giggle occasionally at the practical jokes we played on those unsuspecting guys who kept telling us how much they liked our shoes while we were trolling the bars. It's a damn good thing our bags were big enough to carry a couple dozen pairs of shoes!

I really ought to thank you again for taking me in. I know I told you it was just for the weekend -- I'm sorry it stretched out to six months....
