A story about Bill Clinton

The Former President Bill Clinton made a surprise stop in Laurinburg, NC today (09 April 2008) to speak at St. Andrews Presbyterian College. Emily and I were fortunate and savvy enough to be right in front, and this is how I acquired a t-shirt that was thrown into the audience, and how I met the sexiest, smartest, most powerful man in the world. He came around and I told him that I had hugged him when I was six years old, and that I’ve been patiently waiting for seventeen years for another hug. He obliged me, and thankfully, some awful girl behind us had the balls to ask him why he signed the NAFTA treaty- so the answer her, he was leaning over me and touching on me for nearly four minutes! It was so fabulous, I have photos and it was just amazing. He saw that I had the t0shirt, and asked if I’d like him to sign it. I said yes, and tried to give it to the guy holding all the stuff Clinton was supposed to sign, but a guard said, “We can’t take that.” The President just took it from me then and gave it to the man himself. He made sure to sign it and write on it, and I will always love that t-shirt! AND Bill Clinton!

How I met Margaret

My freshman year of college I was enrolled in Intro to Creative Writing, taught by Dr. Thomas Heffernan.

The first class meeting there was this really sassy redhead standing outside class talking about smoking and how it was really unfair she couldn’t use the gym whenever she felt like it.

We all filed into the classroom when it was time and she got up in front of the class and said something to the effect of, “Welcome to Intro to Creative Writing. I’m Dr. Thomas Heffernan.”

The class was mostly freshmen, and we all bought it. Why would we not?

To quote her: “Wow, frosh lag.”

[For the record, this is the real Dr. Heffernan.]

A story about Emily

“Tell A Story About Emily”? Where to begin? She and I met in 2005, but only this semester became close with her. Thank God I did, though, because we are, in effect, the same human being in two ridiculously hot bodies. She is the best poet I know and has all this really hip, fun knowledge that she lets me in on. We’re partners in crime, and we drink a lot of champagne together. No, a LOT-really-a LOT of champagne. I think we’re averaging about four bottles a week. And…she’s completely glamorous.
