Freak Show, Flowers, and Sleep.
1. The Italian likes to impersonate his girlfriend’s accent. This isn’t so bad but he likes to do it while repeating things she said to him in bed. I’ll pick up the phone and he’ll break out in an accent and say, “Ohhh, jess enjoyyyy eet!” And, I admit, I usually bust out in a laugh. Earlier in the week, he said, “Ooohhh, do you feeeeeel deee freak-shoooow?” I said, “Wait,… freak show?” He said, “Freak-showwwn.”Oh.
Friction.
Dude is just wrong. Don’t get me wrong. We laughed at ourselves for a good five minutes.
2. If you’ve been reading QTMama, you know that she has a crush on “Chicago Man”, a guy she met while visiting Chicago last month. As it happens, I frequently have occasion to cross paths with Chicago Man and I knew I would be doing so tonight. I let QTMama know this and before I knew what happened, she was trying to get me to go to a florist to pick up a flower to bring to this dude so I could say it was from her and wasn’t that romantic?
You know what? Didn’t happen.
3. I’m going to bed. While the clock still says ‘p.m.’ It’s the first time in weeks.

Haha, well we can tell he’s not married. Otherwise when you picked up the phone all you would hear is, “Jezzus Friggin’ Christ…roll over and stop snoring before I smother you to death for the life insurance!”
Ahh… marital bliss…

::Nearly waking up the munkees laughing::
“Freak showwwn…..” (I’ll be repeating this now…)
Oh come now…NO flower delivery for Chicago Boy? Where’s the love? HA
Lucky. It’s 3am here. Dammit.

Bah. Chicago Florists suck!

1. Oh noooooooooo.
I don’t know what is making me laugh harder–what she actually said, what you thought she said, or that he shared it. I’m going with what you thought she said on this one, because to say that in bed, well, yeah.
2. I haven’t, but maybe I should. I’ll have to go check out the backstory. That’s the adult equivalent of passing him a note before study hall…why didn’t you?
3. What time do you get up in the morning? What has been keeping you up so late at night? I’m a big fan of sleep, myself. Don’t get enough of it, unfortunately.

1. This made me think of Freak Show from Harold and Kumar: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=i-03IlWs3xA – Probably not what she was going for as well
2. I love a good idea, even if it’s just… well… a good idea.
3. Good for you
You stay up later than anyone I know!

Lynch – it wasn’t JUST a good idea, it was a GREAT IDEA!

how good does it feel to fall asleep in the pm. i did it twice this week (to compensate for the higher AM numbers i had been posting recently) and i couldn’t have been happier

Love the FRICTION!!! Hilarious! Flowers for men – always a brilliant idea, sorry you couldn’t find any.

Tiffany – Oh, that does sound blissful. Remind me to get married ASAP.
Savored Life – Glad you enjoy The Italian’s antics. Dude, were you just getting to sleep at 3?? You must be beat.
QT – I think the loop ones close early the others are open later. Boo!
September 18th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
KT – I hope you aren’t shocked that he’d share that or you’d be really shocked at the rest of the stuff we tell each other. We’re pigs.
I actually did try to find QT a sunflower but the shops were closed. I’m a good friend! heh.
I usually get up around 6:15. I stay up late because I usually work well late. I also love to get up early because I work well then, too. It’s a bad combination.

LynchSeattle:
1. HA. “Have you boys accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior?!”
2. I don’t know what I’d think if someone gave me a sunflower. They’d probably get Blank Face.
3. Yeah, I need more winks!

Vittoria – Dude, it’s awesome going to sleep at a decent time. I’m going to try it again tonight but I anticipate a big FAIL.
MsSingleMama – I did my best because I knew he’d be madly embarrassed but you know…plans, mice, men, etc.
September 18th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
Shocked? Heh. No. It would take a leeeetle more than that to shock me.
I like being up early if I’ve had a decent night’s sleep, but not necessarily to work…I like being up early to drink tea and check email and read hilarious op ed articles my superleft friend sends me (poor thing lives in Texas, of all places).

KT – Yes! I’m an early morning e-mailer. I dig the peace.
