So, I was sitting there in nothing but my underwear...(Erica)

Many stories I tell seem to start with the phrase "So, I was sitting there in nothing but my underwear..." This may make some people uncomfortable, but I don't really care.

The fanny pack is certainly a big turnoff to me. I really prefer to mock people for things other than what they are wearing. Don't get me wrong, I definitely enjoy picking apart the hideousness of a theme sweater or t-shirt with a screen printed "pussy" (kitty cat, if you will) on it. However, it's the self-righteous intellectual types with no sense of humor that give me the giggles.

Do you know one of those people that injects 75 cent words into a sentence when they don't have a clue what they mean? Or, maybe they know the meaning but are just using big words to sound more intelligent? Or, the guy that practically has his SAT or MCAT scores tattooed on his forehead? These are the ones that really get under my skin and give me plenty of ideas for banter.

First off, do you really think that your SAT scores are something that is going to make me want to date you? I actually find bragging about intellect more annoying than the catcalls that we get while walking on our noon-time walks. I am a semi-intelligent person. I can tell if you are actually smart or if you are just telling me that you are smart. And, honestly, if you can't get my jokes, then your intelligence does not rank in the right department. So, "thank you, drive through."

Por ejemplo, Caroline and I get hours of enjoyment from mis-pronouncing different words. We were using the word facade profusely and we were making the "c" a hard "c" rather than a soft one. It's one of the many words that we mispronounce for our own enjoyment. However, we were corrected by someone we both know. HE DIDN'T GET THE JOKE! I'm not so dumb that I don't know how to pronounce the word facade. I am blonde but I'm not stupid! That's the kind of thing that drives me crazy. Do you really go around correcting people all the time? Seriously, get your nose out of the New York Times for just a few seconds and watch a sitcom here and there. Learn SOMETHING about popular culture! No one enjoys talking about politics all the time. And, you're a man, have ESPN on in the background...you might actually learn something.

Life is not that serious and should not be taken as such.
