I haven't had the time to think about my "Getting Organized" post yet. Why? Well because work has been pretty crazy and also American Idol has started and also I am thinking of dyeing my hair a different color and OMG there is too much to think about!!
So by way of diversion I thought I would tell you this funny little story. Be warned, you will feel old at the end.
The scene: A bar in Atlanta. Think Senor Frogs - frozen drink machines lining the walls and fratty guys lining the halls...you got it?
So I meet a friend there, sidle up to the bar to order a "JET FUEL" (score one for good decisions!) and who do I see? COHUTTA.
If that name doesn't mean something to you, I'm sorry, but we cannot be friends. See, Cohutta is number 1 on my list of the Top 3 greatest guys to ever appear on The Real World. Number 2, of course, is Danny from New Orleans (*swoon*). Number 3 = one of Cohutta's castmates from Real World Sydney, ISAAC... WHO WAS ALSO AT THE BAR!!!
Seriously, Cohutta AND Isaac! I almost peed myself I was so excited. I don't really know why - I mean, I know more than one person who has been on RW/RR. And not in an "I feel like i know them way," either. But anyway, I was pumped. So 2 or 3 more JET FUELS in, I decided to go up and talk to Isaac (not Cohutta...I was too scared b/c he's my fave). Here is the gist:
Me: Hi Isaac!!! You're like one of my favorite people from the Real World EVER!
Isaac: Oh yeah?
Me: Yeah! I love that you swam in the fish tank!
Isaac: Yeah...so, um how old are you?
Me: 26. You?
Isaac: 23
So there you have it. We are older than people on the Real World. I defnitely knew this before, in a vague way. But being face-to-face with someone from a show that I have watched since I was 12 and always thought the people on were so much older and finding out that, in fact, I AM THE OLD ONE, made it a terrible reality. BOO. Time to switch to PBS I guess.

I live for Jason from Boston, and that's it. I think I stopped watching after that season...definitely after Vegas.
