Well, back in the sense that my IT guys have allowed access to it without telling me.  Even though I’m the director of IT here…. what’s up with that?! 

Anyway, I’m such a Xanga noob now that it took me a *tiny* bit of time to actually find out how to start a new blog.  Dah! 

Sooo…. I get a phone call from this guy Rod, works for an IT consulting company and after I hear him out… I go, well my IT admin would arrange all that.  However, just before I transfer him, he goes… btw, I went to school with a guy named Kinsen… from Governor Livingston?    Man… really small world.  Soooo…. in one of his emails he says “Btw, I will NEVER forget a book report that you did for Ms. LeSage’s class”    He’s referring to my 10th grade english teacher and a oral presentation I had to do for a book report.  Anyway, seeing as she reminded me and I was desperate, I used a baseball book I picked up that week.  So its a professional ball player talking about “beaver”.  Me being the sheltered kid with asian parents had never heard of the term.  And though I knew it was slang for something… I wasn’t quite sure.  Its not like I could look it up on wikipedia seeing as the internet wasn’t even a term to us back then.  So what do I do?  Why, I’ll just do what my teacher asked me to do which is to read some excerpts from the book.  Now… this being almost two decades ago and my psyche having done a clever job of scrubbing this from memory…. I don’t remember alllll the details of what I said but according to my friend, it pretty much went something like “beaverbeaverbeaverbeaverbeaverbeaver*deep breathe*beaverbeaverbeaverbeaverbeaverbeaver”  HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.  I’m cracking up now at the memory of it but I really didn’t know what it meant but I do remember thinking… why is everyone laughing?  I haven’t even read the punch line yet!!  My english teacher was NOT pleased. 

Anyway… the moral of the story is:  Don’t answer your phone. It could be your high school buddy trying to being back memories that your mind has suppressed.  Just kidding… I’m going to meet up with him and another HS buddy for drinks tomorrow.  Looking forward to it!
