Go Wig or Go Home

DANIELLA HERE! BADABINGBADABOOOM. it was nice to talk to other people at the dinner party, other than rhea. lest i come off as a "bitch," i'll say here and now that that was simply a joke. I dont want to start anything.

BUUUUT SERIUSLIUY, hurrrs the deal. After the dinner party dispersed, Nicole, Matt, and I proceeded to a jam-packed birthday party in honor of someone I knew well at one point in my life. However, I'm a changed WOMYN. Matt later told me I was giving everyone knowing looks and refusing to talk. It's true; the party was hella bourgeois. Things took a turn for the criz-zayzy when Matt and I (looking for a "dance party" we'd heard tell of) ended up in the basement. Entranced by a battered old trunk, we popped it open.

What we found, dear reader, went beyond our most exuberant dreams. The trunk was overflowing with richery--from gold lame sweatshirts to rainbow bandannas. Most precious of all, though, was the booty we found at the bottom: what appeared to be seven to eight elaborate wigs.  DANG!

A brief moral dilemma followed: did stealing two wigs--clearly resigned to the basement, possibly decades old--make us "thieves"? What is the line between citizenship and criminality? Did RACE play a part? (Feel free to offer your thoughts in the comments section, Shruti!)

As you might have guessed, we immediately stole the two best wigs. Matt stuffed them up his sweater and we NONCHALANTLY returned to the party, where we beat-boxed for two hours alongside the stalwart Nat Rosie. Matt later told me that the wigs kept riding down and he had to keep reaching in and hitching them back up. Luckily Nat was in a druggy, benevolent frame of mind (as usual?) and just shrugged it off as "classic Matt." He later said that Matt perceived everything in terms of theatricality and, when Matt took issue, he frantically backtracked.

We scuttled home before anyone had noticed the missing wigs, belting "Part of Your World" the whole way. Thank goodness for these old thingees that make me a REAL person, living in the world, visiting the ole college, taking a liiiiittle leap into the FUTURE.
