The Minds Are Back in Action (Briefly)

Mind Two:

THE MINDS WERE REUNITED OVER THE WEEKEND AND IT WAS THE MOST WONDERFUL THING QUITE POSSIBLY EVER!

So you guys get stories from this weekend. First, look at all the pictures we took together and how amazingly photogenic we are.




And I just want to say to those of you that don't know what it's like to have to be apart from your best friend in the entire world, you lucky bastards.  It is no fun and I had no idea how much I actually missed Mind One until I got to spend time with her, only to realize we would soon have to be parted.

Ok, story time now.

Day 1 of the Reunion.
I get lost trying to get INTO the military base. Sometimes I question my ability to be an adult.

The gate guy saw my drivers license and pronounced Oregon as Oar-e-gone.

Mind One and I had agreed upon a spot to meet, but I walked into the gas station as she was walking out through a different exit, which led to us missing each other and me getting a snapchat of my car. I also sort of screamed her roommates name and scared the shit out of her. I had never met her before but I recognized her from her Facebook picture.

Then I got to meet Mind One's military friends (or people she tolerates, whatever you want to call it).  One of them was very attractive.
And we watched about half of Brave before I left.

And then Mind Two almost got trapped in an elevator.  I have always had a fear of being trapped in an elevator and tonight made it worse.  I got in, pushed the second floor button, and when the elevator stopped, the doors wouldn't open. I immediately started panicking. I had no idea what to do if I was actually stuck in the elevator.  So I tried pushing the open door button, multiple times, and nothing happened.  Then I pushed the first floor button, and it lit up. After what felt like a lifetime but was only  a couple seconds, I felt the elevator move. Panic attack over. Then I felt it stop, so I hit the open door button and after a couple seconds, the doors opened. I am probably never riding in an elevator again, and yes I did get off and walk up the stairs.

Day 2 of the Reunion.
I didn't get to see Mind One a lot this day.  I did win points though because I brought her steak from Texas Roadhouse that was so rare it looked like they cut off a steer's horns, wiped it's nasty old ass, and slapped it on a plate (well a to-go box).  And I ate soft cookies (points to Mind One for making her roommate buy them for me) and Texas Roadhouse rolls for dinner.  Then Mind One got frustrated at her email and I watched her passive-aggressively click away at a computer trying to fix her email.  


Day 3 of the Reunion.
I had to head back to school on this day.  So Mind One bought me coffee and donuts before I had to leave.  And I made the mistake of wearing a sparkly shirt and my hair down, so the testosterone in the room was overwhelming.  To fix this, we picked a table near a trashcan so no one would be tempted to sit by us.

On the drive home, I hit rush hour traffic in Phoenix.  In case you are wondering, this was not a fun time.  By the time I got off the freeway that was moving at 20 mph, I was basically an angry ball of rage.  So to fix this fact, I went and dyed my hair and it turned out waaay darker than expected, which didn't really help my mood at all.

The Minds also made some plans for Christmas, when we will officially be together again for a decent amount of time.  And in this time we will cause so many shenanigans.
