peachy perspective

“The Book” is a legend. At least in my close circle of friends it is.

No, it’s not the Bible, even though of course it’s the ultimate Book.

“The Book” was started back in the fall of 2002 by my friend back then Cassady. She had the brilliant idea to start writing down all the hilarious stuff people said, the experiences and memories we made together, and the inside jokes that formed. “Aww, let’s make memories!” I remember her saying.

It originally started off in a journal-sized white MTSU notebook. Eventually it had to be transported to a new home – a small green notebook. Why? I’m glad you asked.

Some Nazi in Germany stole it.

Well, that’s mostly a lie, but I am convinced that someone or something in Germany stole it. That’s a story worth mentioning in “The Book”, no doubt. I’m still a little bitter toward Germany.

However, “The Book” did not die. Etched into some of our memories forever, it was recovered. The moment I realized this prized book was missing, I started writing down everything that I remembered – which was a lot because my friends and I enjoyed reminiscing about everything often – and calling the key contributors.

But why is it so important to me to remember these inside jokes, experiences, and one-liners? It’s a connection to good times from the past, a way to remember happenings and sayings myself and others probably wouldn’t have remembered much of otherwise. It always provides topics of conversation and laughter and many stories.

“The Book” continues to branch out and expand it’s horizons. Since graduation over 2 years ago, many other people have done or said hilarious things, and they’ve been inducted into “The Book”. I’m sure there will never be a lack of content for the prized possession, as people are pretty funny and do weird things all the time.

I’m just curious to know if “The Book” will still be around when my future kids can read. I’m probably going to have a lot of explaining to do.

Well, I figured it was time to write a new post since I haven’t in a while. I’m not abandoning peachyperspective. I just haven’t been in the mood or haven’t made time to update this as much as I’d like. So anyway, what have I been up to, you ask? That I will tell you.

I have been searching for some cute new glasses. I have been told to get funky red ones. No red ones that I’ve tried on have captured my heart and soul. Red glasses are a really bold move to make, too. Am I ready for it? Not yet because I haven’t found THAT pair yet. But tonight I went to SEE in Nashville’s Hillsboro Village at the suggestion of my bud Munsey (that’s a nickname, don’t worry). It was the best eyewear shopping experience I’ve had over the past few months. The glasses are exclusive and most are super trendy and very reasonably priced. I found a couple of pairs I really, really like, but they’re not too wacky. So stay tuned for which ones I will choose.

Monday night I got my hair chopped off. Oh yes, it’s short, at least compared to my hair before Monday at 8pm. It’s just above my sholders and kinda choppy – however the cool choppiness (is that a word?) look really depends on the day. Today=not so good. I hate TN humidity. Anyway, the chick that cut my hair is awesome! She is a “traveling stylist” as I like to call her because she comes to your house to do your hair instead of you having to go to a salon. If you want her info, let me know.

One last random happening… my roommate Sarah and I went out riding our new bikes last night. It was her first time riding a bike in a long time. The best part of our ride was going through the sprinklers while squealing and getting randomly hit in the face with a stream of water. I heard her say behind me, “This is the best bike ride ever!” Fun times

I really like to cook, so here’s this recipe for Easy Chicken Skewers with Peanut Sauce I tried out tonight which was very good!
