The bangs?? What about the bangs?!

Once we were back in Rome we decided to get all you can eat sushi (when in Rome...?) You can order as much sushi as you want but you have to finish all of it, or else you will be charged for the extra sushi. Now I can eat A LOT-do I need to remind you of the pancake cruise? yes?



That is a hell of a lot of food. And I ate every last bite. I didn't think food comas existed until I got home and literally could not move until the next day. But I digress. 

This was the most sushi I had ever eaten. Even more than when Megan McCawley and I ordered so much sushi for the two of us, they gave us free edamame for "the party we were having". After the first two rolls we weren't completely satisfied so Chelsea, Kady and I ordered another one while Maddie and Abby ordered two more. Seems we ordered huge effing sushi rolls because they brought out rolls similar in size to this. 


I could be exaggerating slightly. But they were large. I was just sitting there thinking how we were going to eat all that sushi. 


Halfway through my roll I started to feel like I was starring in my own personal version of Man vs. Food. When I put that last piece of sushi in my mouth I felt like I had overcome a personal victory. I looked at Maddie and Abby who still had another entire roll each to eat and were looking at their sushi like:


I decided to be a good friend and help Abby out by eating a single piece of her sushi. After putting it in my mouth I immediately regretted my decision and proceeded to spit it into a napkin. Which sparked the idea of doing that to the rest of the sushi. Some would say we cheated the system. We like to say we were thinking outside the box. I think the waitress was a little skeptical about us finishing all the sushi when she saw multiple rolled up napkins on our plates but no questions were asked. High five! 

Once we got back to the apartment, we digested by watching a little stand-up Ellen comedy, called Here and Now. Great stuff, great great stuff. I especially related to this bit (3:35):


If you don't understand why this is so funny let me just redirect you to a picture of that time I went to the Hair Cuttery for a simple trim of my bangs and ended up with bangs that did not even touch my eyebrows. 


You could be thinking, "Aw Laura that isn't that short!!", or if you actually saw me on the rare occasion I wasn't wearing a headband, you could be laughing your ass off. This picture was taken probably a full MONTH after I had already had my bangs cut. It was really uncomfortable when the girl asked me if I liked my haircut. I'm not even sure what I said because I try to block it out of my memory. 


After walking sprinting out of Hair Cuttery I immediately called Chelsea Farrall to tell her I was seriously considering pulling a pop star Britney Britney and shaving my head. 



You would think, wow Laura, good thing you will never go back to Hair Cuttery again!! Oh....how wrong you are. But that is a different story for a different time. 

 Anyway, after that nice trip down memory lane, we finished Here and Now and went to bed because our next destination was Florence!
