Lists, Lent, and Laziness

Things We Say:

I think when picking up a guy, instead of the first question being "Do you have a wife/girlfriend?" (although important). It should be "So how often do you play XBox?"--Jill
I don't know why girls have a problem with their man playing video games. But maybe that is just me, since I'm a nerd and grew up watching my dad  play one person video games.  It's like an action packed movie, and you know who to blame when the character dies! 

Can I give up school for lent?--Liz
I know right now, since I am swimming in assignments, that I really wish I could write my professors and tell them "sorry, my religion prevents me from completing your class."



Greasy food tastes so much better after 10--Cousin Randi's status
And after 5-6 shots!--Me
Two words: Taco Bell.  


New philosophy: go out by yourself, meet new people and get cute girl's numbers. I still got it. : )--different friend Liz
Hmm... I tried that, but my wife told me to stop doing that. Hope you have better luck!--her friend Mike.
Generally you're not supposed to pick up chicks when you have a wife--Liz

Blurb My Brain:

You know, a couple past boyfriends of mine have all had this "List." The concept of the list is ridiculous, although something similar has been turned into a movie.  I haven't seen "Hall Pass" yet, but from what I understand, the men of this movie are given a week to do whatever they want with whomever they want with no repercussions.  The idea is that these men have no game and therefore cannot pick up these other women.  My past boyfriends have had "Lists of famous girls I am allowed to cheat on you with" and they have always had very similar girls.  Jessica Alba, Kristen Stewardt, Megan Fox, Haley Williams, etc.  Now, these girls are all beautiful.  But who's to say that you wouldn't ACTUALLY meet these girls.  I mean, the chances are unlikely, but still entirely probable.

I have turned down partying with rockstars, I have ridden planes next to authors, and a good friend of mine had a real conversation with Lady Gaga.  I'm not even 21, and I have had these encounters.  And since my boyfriend is a member of the military he increased his odds. Famous people LOVE soldiers. The list bothers me, because there is no way you can say that your significant other will not meet and have sex with anyone on these lists.  Not to mention that I don't even remember the people I have on my list, so why would I remember someone on his. Sounds like a scapegoat.

The other funny thing is that the list never bothered me before my current boyfriend. I guess I love him more than any other boy of my past.

Featured Randoms:

So I bought How I Met Your Mother on iTunes, and I have to say, that I love this show.  I wish there were more Youtube postings of the shows, because some of the episodes have epic moments. On average I want to quote the show every other episode.  It is awesome. The only downside is that they make me miss my boyfriend more.

I also bought CAKE's two most recent albums.  You guys should all check into this band.  Pretty good stuff.
