game world, fun for every hmong

my mom walked in on me singing into a hairbrush. i thought that only happened in the movies, but i proved myself wrong. i also thought it was only embarrassing in the movies. wrong again.

the only thing more embarrassing than engagement pictures (don't get me started) is honeymoon pictures. "here is a picture of one of us standing in the water. now here is another picture of the other one standing in the water. here is a picture of our room where we have lots of sex. does that make you uncomfortable? ok, fine then here are 120 pictures of just one of us standing awkwardly in front of a beach, zip line, hotel lobby or festive mexican street market. maybe we'll do the self timer and stand in the water together!".

ok. i guess the only thing worse than engagement and honeymoon pictures is me looking through them. every time. and complaining about it.

my dad told me he went to see a james bond movie instead of prom. he started the confession with "listen to how much of a nerd your dad was..." to which i reminded him that he was talking to the girl who went to Game Word in GreenBay instead of her dances. he didn't remember that so he asked"who'd ya go with?" "just all the other nerdy girls, dad." i didn't go to dances but i was damn good at dance dance revolution.

there is nothing wrong with being non-traditional...or nerdy, as my dad puts it. I would wager a pretty penny that my times spent at game world were a lot more fun and a lot less expensive than the neenah high school gym prom. i would also like to make a future wager that my honeymoon will be a lot more fun when i save myself $5,000 bucks and a digital cameras battery life by not going to a sandals couples resort and documenting the whole thing.

or maybe i will. i just won't put it on facebook.
