me?????????
that reminds me, i was the only kid in my high school senior class of about 600 (and probably the whole school) named gabe. at the after-prom party at the school, they were giving away prizes. the previous week every senior had filled out a slip with their name on it and put it in the box, and the principle would pull names from the box for the prizes.
when the time came for her to announce the winner of the surround sound system (obv one of the best prizes) she started reading the name.
"gabe...uh..."
i had bad handwriting and a kinda weird last name, so she took a few seconds to get it out. during this pause, all my friends (everyone) and I leaned in, anticipating everyone's favorite person was going to win the prize. she finally said 'patgorski' and the senior class was elated. it was funny because i was thinking (as were my friends) "uhoh....she said gabe....i hope she picks me" when really i was the only choice.
so heres a shoutout for that principle and for lukie of reminding me of that story.
