You know what, eggs are great.
- they have a cool shape
- they can be cooked in many different ways
- they are two colors at the same time - yellow + clear (clear is now a color)
- they come in convenient packages
- they can withstand a fair amount of impact
That last one was the most important. impact.
While cleaning up in the McConnell basement this afternoon, 3 egg cartons were found in the fridge. That my friends is 36 eggs. These were used for egg drop competitions. They were survivors. They did not feel the doom of incoming concrete. Instead, with the help of popsicle sticks and straws, they bounced off and escaped peril.
So anyways, these magically strong eggs were distributed among the three of us. One carton each. They expire September 1st, 2006.
For a little bit of the day I carried this carton around with me. I brought it to the faubourg while buying a bag, and even to Dawson, where I saw a friend.
Now, I like eggs...but I already have a fair bit at home. My mom believes there's always a shortage of eggs and therefore we have like 24 of them. So I decided to pass on my treasure to someone deserving of eggs. I asked my friend's friend if he would like a 12 pack of eggs.
Such glee, there was a twinkle in his eye. His day had been fulfilled. He took my eggs, inspected them. Decided they were good...and thought maybe he could egg the school. Instead, he asked my friend and I to accompany him on his egg adventure. He carried the carton under his armpit and asked the first person he saw if they wanted a carton of eggs.
"Why?" asked the blonde haired stranger. "Why am I blessed with these eggs?"
"Because they are a gift from me, and therefore a gift from her"
"Are they good?"
"They expire sept 1". I explained the whole camp thing.
"Have they been refrigerated?"
"Yes, the whole summer"
"sweet. I shall take the eggs. thank you"
I do not know what happened to the eggs after. I hope whoever ended up with them (Because he may have passed it on to someone else) enjoyed them...or will in the near future.
now I shall leave you with this inspiring quotation care of my friend just now:
"man, somehow the msi mp3 tags identified it as an obscure genre of "industrial jungle pussy punk""

eeheehee! That is quite a lovely story. Hooray for generous strangers. Also, the person to whom you guys gave the guys speaks quite formally, with the 'shall' and the non-contractions... Where do you meet people like this? Christina wants to meet people like this!!!! ... p.s. I can't wait 'til school starts.
Random people at dawson. It was their first day of school yesterday...I laugh in their general direction. muahaha.
I do have to agree in a way...it feels like SOOOOOOO long since I've been at school. I'm looking forward to russian class :O
How wonderfully random :)
