Stupid Stupid Flashbacks

I just had a fairly humorous flashback to first year of law school. A group of women, about 5 of us, bid at an auction to have dessert with our torts professor. At the time (after many many many mixed drinks), it sounded like a great idea. So we forked out the cash (way too much) and set a date for Professor to come to one of our apartment's with dessert.

As one could imagine, this was an incredibly awkward and bizarre evening. First, although this woman was gracious enough to host this event and she is a very nice person, this woman had Japanese animation posters throughout her living room. One of my friends could not help laughing and kept calling them Pokeman posters. Hostess was adamant on insisting these were not Pokeman characters but were Japanese anime or whatever. Not nice, I know, but it sets the scene. Second, the dessert was called Better than Sex Chocolate Dessert or some such nonsense made by a male professor much much older than us. Third, five female law students did not have as much to talk about with this senior law professor as we originally thought. After asking questions about the future exam and the course, we ran out of topics of discussion.

So what do I do in a moment of silence: I blurt out: "You know, when email first came out, I didn't think it would catch on."

Way to go, genius, way to go.
