Friday Punchlist, Cold, …just an FYI, if you know what I mean.
1. I don’t know why I called this a Punchlist. I was just thinking about someone I wanted to punch so maybe that did it. Is there anyone you’d truly enjoy punching?
I might enjoy punching John Goodman.
2. It’s getting cold here in Chicago and going to really dip down on Sunday. DO NOT WANT.
3. The Ballerina has a reputation of saying things no one else would say. Like, “How much money do you make?” I once sent a dinner invitation e-mail that said, “Come any time after 6:30.” She responded with, “I’ll be there around 6.” A few weeks ago, I suggested we have another dinner at my house. She said, “I’m only going to come if it has a fall theme.” We’re getting together on Sunday and belatedly celebrating her birthday. I said that I’d have cake. She said, “I don’t like chocolate cake.”
It occurs to me that The Ballerina could end most of her sentences with, “…just an FYI.” Sort of like how you can make anything sound dirty if you end it with, “…if you know what I mean.”

1. Aren’t you worried your fist would get stuck?
I don’t so much think about punching (I’m worried I’d hurt my hand…and even though I’m non-practicing at this point, for a pianist that’s not really a good idea) as much as hitting over the head with a cast iron skillet.
My short list:
friend’s husband (hopefully soon-to-be ex)
the dad of one of my former students…former because she was removed from her home and put into foster care
2. ME NEITHER. I am not a cold weather person.
3. I can’t fathom not liking chocolate cake, but whatever.

1. I wouldn’t hesitate to punch my ex-husband
2. I’m in Portland, OR. the weather has been getting chilly here. Cold weather is fun though. Cuddling up with hot cocoa and a lover next to a fire. Perfect.
3. I state “FYI” at the beginning of my phrases. For example: Just an FYI: it’s more hilarious when you end sentences to make them dirty/funny by saying, “…with your mom.”

I think I would like the Ballerina. I am also one who tends to not only say exactly what pops into my head, but to share/say things that most other people wouldn’t.
Hmmm… punch list eh? Casey Anthony – oh and whatever idiot brought back Skinny Jeans. THAT person needs a beatin’.
Cold? Hmmm… I’m in Seattle so I’ve been freezing my ass off for what… 20+ years now? Stop your whining, at least you get a summer to fondly remember in the cold months. We have rain, followed by a season called drizzle.
Ya, I’m bitter.
Who doesn’t love chocolate cake? I think she may need to seek professional help. You can make a chocolate cake, and then send it to me. I’ll be a pal and eat it all for her.

there are PU-LENTY of people i can think of to punch. a good chunk sit in my wing @ work.

Question: “What did you have for dinner?”
My answer: “Your mom.”
etc etc…
Seattle’s getting cold too. Lily no likey.

I say “just so you know” too much too. And “just sayin’ “.
Maybe you Oregon people and us Midwestern people need to scrap it all and move to Hawaii…show of hands? Who’s in?

Just as an FYI, I referenced this list yesterday when Bev and I were talking
Hehe, you know, John Goodman does seemlike he could be a good face punching target, doesn’t he?

I only punch people on Halloween.

I’m always amazed by people who say whatever is on their mind. I tend to cushion my responses with lots of “possibly’s” and “maybe’s.” and “How about’s.” My old soc teacher would probably say that I’m just repeating longstanding gender roles in communication.
Or maybe I’m just a chicken.

KT – Hey, how long have you been a pianist? That’s very cool. I miss my piano.
Nic – I just spent a few minutes imagining ending my sentences with “with your mom” and I’m thoroughly disturbed. I must tell The Italian. He’ll love it.
Tiffany – I just tried to imagine you and The Ballerina in a room together. I think it’d be one hell of an uncensored conversation. heh.
Lily – Saying “your mom” just never gets old. I read that and snickered again. WTF!

Forever. Since I was 3.
And since I’m so freaking old now…heh…
What about you?

KT – Count me in. Hawaii sounds awesome. I heard this is supposed to be one of the worst winters on record. Screw it – ALOHA.
LynchSeattle – How’d you reference the face punch list? heh. And yeah, John Goodman would be awesome cause his face is HUGE and he needs a good pop inna kisser.
Sitcom – Dude, those stories had me laughing so hard. You’re hard core, yo.
Bev – I tend to temper a lot of what I say, as well. Uh…despite what it might seem. :-/

WORSE THAN LAST YEAR?!
Shit.
Have you ever been?
Hawaii pretty much rules…if you like perfect weather and awesome food. Otherwise it sucks.
