Patrick: A Poem By Jessica (written in highschool)

I love football i think I'm tuff I can do 40 pushups but turn off the light and I hide in my bed Come tuck me in leave on the hall light I'm scared of the dark I don't like the night I am what I am My sister calls me dweeb, beeve, Pat to bug mom I bug Mom too I am what I am I'm tall for my age someday as big as Dad My skin is dark and brown so is my hair I am what I am I'm the class clown I'm friendly and flirty the girls follow me around I am what I am Watch out now I might blow a cork One time my sister was bugging me and I threw a fork, It's okay don't worry I wont do it to you I'm more grown up now and I know what's right no more throwing forks no more getting in fights I am what I am 13 now and in jr high I might just grow up to be a good guy

Yes, I went there!

Patrick's Latest--posted by Tina

Today at work I got this text from Patrick:

"So... While I was unicycling this morning, i came upon a rather rocky and queerly steep descent. As i maneuvered down this death trap, i found myself rather tilted in a forward position. so great was my angle in comparison to the mountain, that the only means to escape an abrasive fate was to bail. And so i did, greatly underestimating the grade of the hill i found myself, patrick, hurtling down this hill at top speed. Fortunately i had a camel back on, unfortunately, my shirt was not on due to it being tied in a shawl around my noodle. Needless to say i tripped, turned so i landed on my shoulder, and proceeded to slide down the mountain. In bare skin. When i finally came to a halt, and regained consciousness. It appeared the camel back had spared my back from a more gruesome fate, alas the upper arm and shoulder looked like they've been attacked by a bear. Delicious. I continued on my way, feeling slightly more manly than previously."

So, there you have it. What makes it better is that he informed me that he concocted this wonderfully elegant message while sitting on the toilet. Information that both you and I didn't need to know...

I don't know if this math is right but according to it I am 110% Utahan.

Do this even if you don't live in Utah! It's fun to see how Utahan you are!

You know what Fry Sauce is

If one day it's 30 degrees and snowing but the next it's sunny and 50 or 60 degrees it's normal weather to you

You know what it means to Sluff

Your neighbors are Mormon

You are Mormon

When you say 'Mountain', you don't pronounce the 't'

You usually can't play with friends on Monday because you have family night

You sometimes wear shorts and a sweatshirt if it's cold outside

You've never had a day off of school for a snow day

You like country

You get more than 300 inches of Snow in the mountains and its still a drout

Now that you're done, add up all the ones you are and times it by 10.

Things To Do In An Elevator

1) When there's only one other person
in
the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.

2) Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back
for
more.

3) Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the
wrong ones.

4) Drop a pen and wait until someone reaches to help pick
it
up, then scream, 'That's mine!'

5) Bring a camera and take pictures of
everyone in the elevator.

6) Move your desk into the elevator and
whenever someone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.

7) Lay
down a
Twister mat and ask people if they'd like to play.

8) Leave a box in
the
corner, and when someone gets on ask them if they hear something
ticking.

9) Ask, 'Did you feel that?'

10) Stand really close to someone,
sniffing
them occasionally.

11) When the doors close, announce to the others,
'It's okay. Don't panic, they open up again.'

12) Swat at flies that
don't
exist.

13) Call out, 'group hug!' then enforce it.

14) Grimace
painfully
while smacking your forehead and muttering Shut up, all of you, just
shut
up!'

15) Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering
inside,
ask, 'Got enough air in there?'

16) Stand silently and motionless in
the
corner, facing the wall, without getting off.

17) Stare at another
passenger for a while, then announce in horror, 'You're one of THEM'
and
back away slowly.

18) Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to
the
other passengers.

19) Listen to the elevator walls with your
stethoscope.


20) Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, and then
announce, 'I
have new socks on.'

21) Draw a little square on the floor with chalk
and
announce to the other passengers, 'This is my personal space.'

22)
Make
race car noises when anyone gets on or off.

23) Whistle the first
seven
notes of 'It's a Small World' incessantly.

24) When arriving at your
floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act embarrassed
when
they open by themselves.

25) Greet everyone getting on the elevator
with a
warm handshake and ask them to call you Admiral.

26)On the highest
floor,
hold the door open and demand that it stay open until you hear the
penny
you dropped down the shaft go plink' at the bottom.

27) When at
least 8
people have boarded, moan from the back: Oh, not now, dang motion
sickness!'

28) Meow occassionally.

29) Bet the other passengers you
can
fit a quarter in your nose.

30) Frown and mutter 'gotta go, gotta go'
then
sigh and say uh-oh!'
