Growing Up Ruud.

So I'm driving home from work today and out of nowhere get the sudden urge to drink. Now this doesn't sound that unlikely I know, but I today was a short day so it was actually only 10:00 a.m. when I was driving home. What triggered my urge for alcohol?And then I remembered, well duh! It's Kim Rudd's birthday, no wonder I am subconsciously craving a beer. People who don't even know Kim are probably wanting to drink today. If you're reading this and it reminds you to write a nice little diddy on her wall today in honor of her bday, don't bother. The fool doesn't even have her wall activated right now, on her birthday even! It's like a Facebook sin, but whatevs, her loss. She is a professional working teacher now, you can't blame her. Kindergarten teacher today, Principal of the school tomorrow, she is taking over LPS one position at a time. I can't wait for the day she is the athletic director at Southeast and has to "punish" the athletes for drinking. Kim "I drink on the way to basketball games in the bus" Ruud. Oh, yes, that'll be the day. I'd sure love to do a quick run through of all the shenanigans Kim's gotten herself into in college but I don't think she'd find that appropriate, so I'll hold back. But just for shit's sake I'll mention just a few things that have nothing to do with her...Just simple memories. That like I said, have nothing to with her. Nada.


1. Sleeping at the bar on the nasty couch only to wake up the next morning ready to bartend.

2. Calling the fire department after getting her arm stuck in a couch.

3. Inches away from driving her Pathfinder on a frozen lake because she "finds her own path."

4. "Day drinking" at ATO for 36 hours straight Monday-Wednesday.

5. Storybook 2007 anyone? ..."Wait, so everyone wasn't skinny dipping?"

6. Katwalk 2008- owning the runway (and the bar before it) to say the least.

7. The $275 Party Day- Stealing the LCC beer cart, being chased all over the fairways by the golf pro, and being discovered at last behind the tennis courts chugging beers.

8. Gameday 2005 "My dad OWNS this Stadium! He owns it!" said to police taking her away.

9. "So not everyone takes vodka in a beer bong?" SB 2006.


The list could easily go on and on. But I'll stop while I'm ahead. I can't believe it's already been three years since her 2-1. Time sure does fly when you're blacked out. I remember her 21st like it was yesterday, it was one of the worst days of my life- I was trapped in an MDS study and was unable to celebrate. Surrounded by homeless people and recovering drug addicts I toasted to Kim with the one glass of water I was allowed for her 21st in 2008. It was a special moment.

And Kim's birthday only means one thing... Mine is only 20 days away. And don't worry, my wall will definitely be enabled so mark it in your calendars right now to wish me something nice, and make it clever while you're at it, none of that typical "happy bday" nonesense. Put some thought into it. Alright, now go wish Kim a happy bday on her one wall post that allows it if you haven't already. She won't admit it, but she's a huge Fb Girl so it will really mean a lot to her.
