in case you needed another reason to think i am crazy
Now I told myself that I wasn't going to post anything until after I finished the Bayleigh tribute, but it has been in draft form since 5/20 and is still no where near to being finished. So I am going to address some other business whilst I stumble through the stages of grief.
A)Meghan McBlogger and her highly amusing and wonderfully off color blog have infiltrated my life like no written piece of work has since Harry Potter. If you know me but at all, you KNOW that this is a very, very bold statement. You can find her @ http://www.2birds1blog.com/ (please note that "off color" is an understatement, don't say I didn't warn you!). Most of my lunch breaks I can be found right here at this very desk eating my lunch and laughing, OUT LOUD, at her daily post. Sometimes when that is not enough, I back track to earlier posts. When I am not reading the blog I have been working on listing the reasons Meghan McBlogger and I would either be or not be friends (don't worry, it's coming!). Not weird enough? Ok. Confession. So when I am in the middle of reading Harry Potter (which I almost always am, WHOLE other issue) my inner monologue runs in J.K. Rowling's narrative style, English accent and all. So due to this recent obsession I now have a Meghan McBlogger commentary running amok in my head. I catch myself exclaiming-to myself- things like "uhhh Blokay!" and "Welp!" and even as I am re-reading through this crazy person confession I see the influence is coming through. The italicizing, the use of the phrase "bold statement"-I am creeping myself out. BUT I am still going to post my running list of reasons we could be friends/and reasons we probably would not be.
Reasons Meghan McBlogger and I would be friends- a working list:
(please note that I visited this blog to do some fact checking and just continued to read...I am now at home finishing this)
(please note that I visited this blog to do some fact checking and just continued to read...I am now at home finishing this)
1) Moules Frites
2) AbFab
3) Crafting
4) Nickelback hatred
The list is actually longer, but I will have to add to it as it comes back to me. Right now I am battling a gnarly migraine. OK! On to reasons we may not get along so well. This isn't so much a list as two working theories. They are as follows:
1) Knowing myself, and knowing a wee bit of Ms. McBlogger, an endless battle of banter and clever one liners could break out. This would definitely be obnoxious, not just to those around, but-most importantly- to ourselves. There is also the second, and nearly as alarming, possibility that we would totally geek out about crafting. Have you ever been in a group of people when two people share a geeky interest and talk about it endlessly? Maybe runners?
2) City Loyalty. Capital C, Capital L. This is what Liz Lemon would call a deal breaker. Now we all know Meg Mc hearts DC. I've also read about Boston and NYC and some Euro references. I have yet to stumble across a plug for Chicago, and this irks me because Chicago is the best city. Hold the phone. I have to do a quick fact check before I get too deep into this, read 2b1b, and find out that in fact Ms. McBlogger has been to Chicago and thinks that it is simply splendid...Eh, blerg. Fact checking did not go well. She went for the weather. So obvious. Deal breaker, and that's all I'm going to say.
Item B) SPEAKING OF CHICAGO. Did you know the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup? You did! Do you work on the corner of Michigan and Wacker? You don't?? HA HA, cause I do and it is awesome. I saw that beast with my own two eyes. Da duhduh dat duhduh DAT!!
C) My to do list for June has only one thing on it...well it has a lot of things but this is the only one amusing enough to share: Hang out by the harbor and make friends with boat owners. Accept all invitations to go boating.
I can't remember any of the other items on my agenda due to this heinous migraine so I'll end this post here.
(9.02.10, You know I am re-reading the reasons Meg Mc and I might not be friends, and I may have been unfair - I'll just have to blame the migraine. What if she never has been to Chicago? What a jerk. AND if a banter battle breaks - what do I care? I'm having a good time, and it tends to chase all the squares away. So I guess I've learned not to blog whislt compromised...)
