It’s a Flashback Friday, friends!

So… once upon a time, Matt and I went on a road trip. Okay, we went on lots of road trips. For this particular one, we were headed to Los Angeles (from Salt Lake City) on I-15. I was 18, he was 19. I had just been thrown out of BYU and he had just come out of the closet once and for all. He We had too much money and absolutely no sense of responsibility.

At some point, we pulled over–along that narrow, terrifying little piece of I-15 in Arizona. Matt handed me a Farrah Fawcett wig, which we just happened to have brought with us, of course, and a shiny satin dress with sparkly tights. I’m sure that the conversation went something like this:

Matt: Hey, put these on and then pretend to hitch-hike when truckers drive by. It’ll be awesome.

Brillig: Okay [as I proceeded to rip off what I’d had on and don my new wardrobe].

Really, it didn’t take much effort on his part to convince me to play along with his crazy games. And wow! Aren’t I fantastic?

(Some of you got a sneak peak of this pic at Cre8buzz–see? One more reason to join!)

Alas, our friend Matt doesn’t know how to scan pictures–even though his sugar daddy partner has a scanner– so this is a photo that he took of a photo. (And I tell ya what, somewhere between the camera, the picture, the picture of the picture, the emailing and the uploading, my boobs were lost. Seriously!!! Don’t I look like a little boy in drag? Hahaha. I SWEAR I wasn’t that flat…)

Ahem!

Anyway, you’ll be happy to know that no one actually stopped for me. Rude, right? Good thing… I don’t think we actually had a plan for what to do if someone HAD stopped.

That whole trip was one of the craziest of my entire life. From Vegas to LA to the cruise ship we then boarded and took to Mexico, it was non-stop Flashback Friday/Soap Opera Sunday material. We will undoubtedly be revisiting this story at some point.

Happy Flashback Friday, all!

I’m tired.  I’m melancholy.  It’s been a hard week.

And nobody’s here.  Tap*tap*tap!  Is this blog on?  Everyone’s traffic has slowed way down, not just mine, so I’m trying not to take it too personally!  Between school, new routines, sleepless nights, and sick children, I’m not really getting around to my blog rounds and my cre8buzz stuff lately.  I can hardly blame people for not coming to my place!

I think we’re all tired.  Perhaps melancholy.  And we’ve all had a hard week.

Let’s all go eat some chocolate.

Loves and kisses all around.
