lollapalooza
\ lol-uh-puh-LOO-zuh \ , noun;
1. an extraordinary or unusual thing, person, or event; an exceptional example or instance.
Don't tell me you're reading that word and not smiling. I used it today while texting BFF in California.
It started off with me lackadaisically scrolling through my Facebook feed, until something in particular caught my eye. I subscribe to a page called "Syracuse University Compliments", in which people write compliments about other people to this Facebook page, and then they post it. Well, I happened to see a name that is very familiar to me, a name that I remember from high school, and a name that goes to my current school's bitter rival. I'm not going to mention any names, so let's just call him Blevin Ho.
I was surprised to see Blevin's name (even though I knew immediately that it was not him for the aforementioned reason), and even more surprised to see it coupled with the words "kind" and "giving". Not that this guy, Blevin, is a bad guy. To be honest, I've never even had a face-to-face conversation with him, but he went out with someone that I greatly admired in high school, and lets just say I'm on her team.
Anyway, I decided to text BFF about the funny confusion, and she thought it was funny as well (she too is on his ex's side). I then got to talking about how I couldn't wait for the Georgetown game, and how even though I really had nothing against the school, I can't wait to bash it like hell on Facebook and Twitter come February 23rd. I said, "I'm glad I won't have to feel remorseful when I rip on his school. I'll be in lollapalooza."
And really, I will. Even though, like I said, I really have nothing against this guy or his school, I just have this chromosome in my body that's prone to school spirit in a BIG way, and I really have no choice but to think ill of anyone/anything that rivals my school. So, as a preface to what that Saturday is going to be like, "GO HOME GEORGETOWN! IT'S 11:36 AND GEORGETOWN STILL SUCKS!"
That felt good.
