Glennalicious: Elegant

Elegant

So the boyfriend wanted me to attend a shindig tonight. It's a school night, but now that I'm out of university classes, it's fine.

The only problem- the invite said to dress elegant.

What the hell is elegant? Do I wear a flapper dress?

I have NEVER been accused of being elegant. Some of my mathematical solutions are elegant, but you can't dress up an equation for a dinner party. I ended up wearing my suit coat over my DKNY shirt with jeans and dress Doc Martens, per Charlie's recommendations. He even helped me work on the stain from the Mark Kay friend at my mom's funeral. Not exactly perfect, but it was the best I can tolerate. I am really just a blue jeans guy.

I became transfixed by the lesson planning and missed my switch. Instead of taking the 1/9 from 96th to 125th, I mistakenly took the 2 to 110 and Central Park. I called boyfriend to tell him I was going to take a cab. He told me to just walk, as it was only six blocks. My brain told me it was further, but he knows the northern territories.

He thought I was on the west side of the city. I was on the east side. What he thought was six blocks was actually 2 miles. By the time my sweaty self stumbled to the rendezvous point, I was in dire need of some support.

Praise the gods for cheap wine and enormous cupcakes with frosting. Columbia is a strange world, chock full of super wealthy party girls and literary giants. I'm just glad his friends and their husbands/partners/wives are all so fascinating. There was also a pre-gay boy with his poor unsuspecting girlfriend. For some reason, he really brought out my inner thug. Maybe it was the super-pretentious 70's britboy suit, maybe it was his dancing. All I know, I really wanted to punch his glasses and make them break across the bridge of his nose.

Maybe I was just horny and it was displaced agression.

It was a great night, my knee is KILLING me, I'm dosed up on Advil.

I'm partial to the "horny" theory.

I'm horny to the theory of partial differential equations.

Blame it on sugar overdosing from the cupcakes.

I think that it would be elegant for G to knee the guy's horny cupcakes.

"The Horny Cupcakes" sounds like a garage band.
