In my personal opinion… friends with weird ideas are the best friends to have.
Actual conversations with my weirdos:
Me: “I don’t know he’s really not into gorilla suits and I just don’t get it?”
Friendly Weirdo: “Who doesn’t love gorilla suits?”
Me: “Right?”
A brief contemplative silence.
FW: “Oh, you know what we should do, gorilla suit pub crawl.”
Me: “Hell yes!
FW: “This summer, texting [Friendly Weirdo #2] now.”
FTR: They already exist…
As do… you guessed it…
I do hope they take place at the same time. That would be awesome!
(The fact that I haven’t stumbled into either of these scenarios in real life honestly upsets me. What gives Universe?)
Several weeks go by…
Me: Killing time disrupting the Instagram algorithm, stumbles across a black-and-white picture of nuns drinking in the streets. Immediately sends to friends. “After the gorilla suit pub crawl… this.”
FW: “Ummm yes of course!!!”
Couple more weeks go by…
Me: Sees horoscope ice breaker on Co-Star: YOU WON THE AWARD FOR FASTEST MARATHON DRESSED AS A NUN. (Nun humor is always a winner!) 100% this is getting posted.
DM from FW: This is so you!!!
My DM: It’s so on point it’s terrifying. Also, have been in a nun costume and have run a (half) marathon… sadly not at the same time… but now I know where I went wrong.
FW: Right?! I think we really need to push for a nun pub crawl.
Me: I’m 100% in for this. No questions asked. Let’s do it.
FW: Amen 🙂

Sign/Advertisement on the side of the road: Sounds Weird.
Conversations that involve the words “sounds weird” are my very most favorite. Every. Single. Time. These conversations have landed me in the following:
- Glass Blowing class
- Lesbian comedy night in a raffle to win free Egg Harvesting (of the human not chicken varietal. I did not win.)
- Swan Boats in Devil Horns and combat boots following a consultation with a psychic on Halloween
- Bollywood Dancing in the Park while unknowingly crashing someone else’s date
- Working out with Richard Simmons
- Watching a Woman play a saw at a hipster talent show
- Listening to Lisa Loeb cover Wonderwall (which, BTW, THE thing I didn’t know I needed!)
- Watching an Arnold Schwarzenegger Tribute Band
- Masquerade Bachelorette party
- Working a Mattress Convention where your favorite band of all time is performing (so naturally you push the salesmen out of the way for a front-row seat!)
(And that’s just the stuff I can remember right now!)
But I can’t wait to see what’s next! Feel free to submit ideas!
