Dual Award: The Golden Globes of Gypsy Gal Goodness

(Sarah plays music from 'Gypsy Gal,' Audio Rocketry's [a local band] upcoming sophomore album)

Sarah: I really like these guys!

David: Me too.

Sarah: Normally when local student bands send me stuff, it's really shitty, but this...

David: Yeah, I know what you mean.

Sarah: And I normally hate folk-celtic stuff, but...

David: It's like they're having fun!

Sarah: Exactly!

David: I LOVE fun!

...

David: When's their CD release party?

Sarah: March 5.

David: That's a Friday.

Sarah: You want to go?

David: Yeah! Hey, we could write a concert blog entry for the newspaper!

Sarah: And it could be a conversation!

David: Like our blog!

Sarah: DONE! OK, I've officially pencilled it in on my calendar. No backing out now or you'll break my heart.

David: Wait, what if I have a hot date that night?

Sarah: Then you're bringing them along. It's official, I love these guys now.

David: But —

Sarah: NO BUTS.

...

Sarah: Yeah. I'm in love. They have a stupid name, but I don't care. I want these guys. I want to date them. All at once.

David: This is sudden.

Sarah: Don't care.

David: What if they already have girlfriends?

Sarah: DOESN'T MATTER. I WILL MAKE THIS WORK. I WILL HAVE NINETY-FIVE BOYFRIENDS HA HA HA LA LA LA.

David: Have you ever noticed that when we have a conversation at 1 a.m., it ends up being really weird?

The Momentary Musical Markage Statue

Look, if Sarah's gonna pull something like that last award, David has to get in on it too. This WAS for a Sara-Bareilles-themed photoshoot, but that's still enough to earn a trophy, we think.

The Victorious Vegetable Vendetta Statue

Most posts need some kind of explanation. This? Does not. Sarah kicks broccoli's ass. 'Nuff said.

The Exercising Ectomorphic Excellence Award

Sarah: You shouldn't come to the gym with me.

David: Why not? I like the gym. I like running.

Sarah: But then I end up comparing myself to you. And that's not good.

David: But we're like the same weight. You totally should have let me join you guys on the Freshman 15 Feature. I could've, like, provided an ectomorph's perspective.

Sarah: Yeah, that's the last thing I need. "David's diet included three chocolate bars a day and hit his weight loss goal in four days. Sarah worked her butt off and ate stupid vegetables and gained five pounds."

David: OK, OK.

Sarah: "David ate nothing but pizza and tacos for three weeks and lost nine pounds. Sarah ate apples and drank water and somehow doubled her weight."

David: You've made your point.

Sarah: I don't think I have. Fine.

David: ...

Sarah: ...

David: Also, nine pounds? That's less than my average.

Sarah: Shut. Up.

Tell me how bad it was last night.

You probably don't want to know.

Get it over with.

David

Well... how many people do you remember making out with?

Sarah

...

David

...

Sarah

Well, Jill.

David

Oh, everyone made out with Jill.

Sarah

Including you?

David

...

Sarah

...

David

I don't kiss and tell.

Sarah

Slut.

David

It was my pants.

Sarah

What else? I remember dancing.

David

There was a lot of that. A lot. I took off around the time you traded glasses with some guy and were looking for him to trade back.

Sarah

Right! They're giving me a headache.

David

You still have them?

Sarah

Hey, I couldn't find them.

David

Why did you do that in the first place?

Sarah

IT WAS FUNNY.

David

Clearly.

Sarah

OK, what else?

David

Who was your friend Eric?

Sarah

Eric? Oh, yeah. I know him through the...oh. Yeah, I was macking on him for a little bit.

David

I think I was hitting on him for like an hour.

Sarah

Slut.

David

PANTS!

Sarah

What else? C'mon, you have to tell me.

David

Trust me, if you did anything embarrassing, I would be bugging you about it forever.

Sarah

That's true. Nothing else?

David

Well, you were all "look at my boobs," and "I'm gonna have sex with this wall."

Sarah

You're making that up.

David

I am.

Sarah

A good night.

David

Yeah.

Sarah

Jill's a good kisser.

David

We all know that.

Jonn

My favorite part, David, was when you hurled yourself over the railing and started dancing on the speaker with those girls.

Sarah

I missed that!

David

Jonn, sshh. Sarah has a hangover. We're eating breakfast in peace.

Jonn

Fine.

Sarah

I should probably get my glasses back at some point.

David

Good luck.

Sarah

I was really worried — I got a text from Alan Sheridan at like 4 A.M. where he called my behavior 'deplorable.'

David

Alan Sheridan?

Sarah

Yeah.

David

The last time I saw Alan Sheridan, Jill was taking off his clothes on the dance floor.

Sarah

Ah.

David

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Sarah

Except my head hurts.

David

I wonder why.
