Debra proceeds to tell her that some of the best women in comedy have red hair, and that out of many of the people she knows in person, I'm one of the funniest comedians she knows, and that she was thrilled when I made the choice to go red... uh-huh. The girl clearly wasn't listening as she shuffled her feet and remained looking in my direction.
"She looks like a fairytale... she looks.. like. A fairytale of some sort." And she walked away smiling. Debra and I continued talking about my hair, which made her get on the topic of Allegra and her hair which is a BIG surprise.
This morning I checked my Facebook and found that my best friend from the second grade, Andrea Romero, had sent me a message. Below is our exchange:
ANDREA - hiii, so im going to feel really lame if you don't remember, but i was watching zenon girl of the 21st century and thought of you, because in first grade during lunch and recess we would play that we lived in the space station and that we were the characters from the movie. haa
LUCY - Wow. It's crazy you sent me this message because seeing your post last night reminded me of the same thing. I used to make those little cardboard, red zap pads.
And they're real now with all of that phone zkype nonsense. But yes. I wholeheartedly remember that, and kind of wanted to cry reading your message.
Lucy
ANDREA - Honestly, your cardboard creations are one of my favorite childhood memories. I loved being nebula while you were zenon. Ha
It still boggles my mind that there are other people who remember little things like this, but more mind boggling is that some choose to share those memories. How sweet that is.
The beta fish in the office likes to lay down on the rocks. What? That's seriously one of the weirdest things ever. It just lays there.
