Before you continue to read (or if you want something for reference) please refer to season 1 episode 9.

For a quick recap, in this episode, Ted and Robin go volunteer at a soup kitchen on Thanksgiving where they run into Barney who is there for community service hours. Ted and Robin are tasked with helping sort the good donations from the bad donations which are when they discover that the good donations go to the volunteers and not the poor it is meant to feed.

This leads Ted and Robin to cause a scene which gets them, and Barney who vouched for them kicked out of the soup kitchen. They all wind up at a strip club that Barney says that he usually spends Thanksgiving and Ted meets a stripper which is where the Easter Egg comes in.

Ted begins to talk to a stripper who reveals her real name to Ted which is Tracy. Now, the reason that this is relevant is because the episode ends with a flash forward in time to when Ted is talking to his kids and he is wrapping up the story of that Thanksgiving and he says "and that kids, is how I met your mother".

This is relevant because of the kid's reaction. They were so surprised until Ted told them that it really isn't how he met their mother. Why would the kids be so surprised at that statement if their mother's name, which would not be revealed for many more seasons, wasn't Tracy?

HIMYM dropped this huge hint so early on in the series that I, and I am sure so many other people, brushed off. This was such a huge discovery for me and I was a bit shocked. Go back and rewatch that episode, or series really, and pay attention to that. It all happens towards the end but it is worth the watch.

No Sex And Upstate New York

A modern-day reincarnation of Carrie Bradshaw's classic column

Around the age of 12, when I was deciding whether or not to be gay, Satan appeared on my left shoulder. “Ramsssey,” he said with that telltale lisp. “Come over to our side. We have crazy partiessss.” He made a strong case, bouncing up and down on my shoulder with six-pack abs and form-fitting Calvin Kleins. An angel popped up on the other shoulder and was going to warn me about something, but Satan interrupted- “Shut up, you crusty-ass bitch!’ The angel was pretty crusty. She disappeared, and from that moment forward I was gay.

Senior Year Is Here And I Am So Not Ready For It

I was you not that long ago. I was once an eager freshman, a searching sophomore, and a know-it-all junior. Now? Now I am a risk taker. Not the type that gets you in trouble with your parents, but the type that changes your future. Senior year is exciting. A lot of awesome things come along with being the top-dog of the school, but you, right now, are building the foundation for the next 4 years that you will spend in high school. I know you've heard it all. "Get involved", "You'll regret not going to prom", "You're going to miss this". As redundant as these seem, they're true. Although I am just at the beginning of my senior year, I am realizing how many lasts I am encountering.

Why Driving Drives Me Crazy

the highways are home

With Halloween quickly approaching, I have been talking to coworkers about what scares us. There are always the obvious things like clowns, spiders, heights, etc. But me? There are a number things I don't like: trusting strangers, being yelled at, being in life or death situations, parallel parking. All of these are included when you get behind the wheel of a car.
