So here's a little story I thought I would transcribe for your enjoyment. It’s breaching the twelve hundred word point, so I won’t fault you for passing it over for the shorter posts and surveys on your friends list

frank.
you are an over-analytical dork. it is so easy to let the "my boyfriend" thing fly off the tongue. i mean, i still refer to you as my ex when i bring you up in conversation and that was ages ago. i'm sure if i had a boyfriend at this point he'd be brought up as the boyfriend. it's just an easy way to describe someone that you're seeing. i'm sure they weren't trying to cut you off before you started with the pickup lines. but, yeah, i realize you have this thing about that kind of title.
again. i reiterate. you're a dork.

-mongs.

ps. i get to see nobel peace prize winner, desmond tutu on thursday! hahahaha! be jealous!

[jetstobrazil]

Ha! After the smoking, the pick up lines were already to a dead halt. It was just fascinating is all; the term just seems so...nuclear. Thanks for reading my novella, however. I just kept writing; I think it just felt good to write.

Regardless, I am jealous. I really wanted to go to that, but I have to work Thursday night, and I figure he'll be done speaking by ten, which is when I would probably get there. Transcribe what he says, will you?

haha! yeah. i know. but still. i know how you are about that title. see...normal people use it all the time. you're just odd.
luckily, i haven't used it in quite some time. and probably will continue to not use it for a whiiiiile. i am enjoying my solitude.
so yeah. not doing the star wars thing, i don't think. but we should hang out sometime soon. try this: caaaalllll meeeee.

and yeah. i'll leave you a voicemail with mr. tutu's voice on it. and you can keep it forrrevvverrrrr.

Oh, that would be sweet!

I loved that voicemail you sent the other day. I was like, "Shit, she's gong to be pissed I haven't called back yet," and you weren't; it was just a really detailed message about your thesis, which was nice.

Thanks, mongs!

PS. This new picture is precious. In other words, I dig it.

I feel like leaving a comment now is would be to interupt this conversation you've got going above...oh, well--I'm gonna do it anyway.

This whole story reminds me of my fansination and confusion of how people get together to the point of being able to call one 'boyfriend' or 'girlfriend'. But I really don't think, or at least would like to believe, that people slip in those labels for mere deterrence. I'd like to believe that people refer to labels as opposed to acutal names for simplicity's sake. That way they won't have to go "Ryan, my boyfriend, has a really big truck." It's laziness and lack of wanting to get any more intimate than necessary. For example, when refering to my best friend I almost alway just say "my bff", I go one step futher into the laziness and aberviate the label. (Which now realizing this, is so sad and horrible.) Because people hardly ever remember the names that you hold dear when they don't know them.

Re: ...cough, cough...

[jetstobrazil]

I like that dog in that trucker hat.

Haha, yes to risk breaking your heart, saying bff is both sad and horrible.

Regardless, you make a good point and to be honest, of course I realized to myself, "what other phrase could they use in place of 'my boyfriend'?" It seemed convenient enough, but that seemed like a false sort of convenient convenience. It seemed they used the term for a different underlying meaning, yet covered their tracks with said convenience. Anyway, I agree with you regardless, though I feel it's deeper.

That's my dog! Well, sorta--techincally speaking it's my mom's dog, but I love her and miss her nontheless. She's adorable, but hates people other than me and the screwed up antisocial family I come from.

Oh, and I think she's a racist and is a mislabeled as a vicious dog from the animal control people. Look at that face--is that the picture of a 'vicious dog'?? I think not! I'd try to bite a guy that just ran me over with a motorcycle too!

in my experience, the girls who most often casually drop the "my boyfriend" thing are the girls who are in really crappy relationships.

oh, and p.s. [i am mentioning this here rather than on myspace because their server is bogged down and i can't get anything on the site to work] about your scarf...well, see, back before christmas, i REALLY needed some extra money to buy gifts...so i went frantically around the house trying to find things i could return to walmart [as walmart will take back anything without a receipt]...i ran across your scarf, which was maybe 5 inches in length...and so i [this is awful] cut off what i'd knitted, wrapped the excess yarn back up under the paper label, and i returned it to walmart. it wasn't anything personal, i swear...i just needed some cash in a bad way.

but, my knitting group fell apart months ago, so i haven't knitted in ages, and even if i still had your yarn to knit, i'm not even sure if i still remember how. and i was never very good at it to begin with.

i hope this confession will be good for my soul. :\

[jetstobrazil]

I have no words for the death of my scarf.

Rest in peace, dear scarf. I hardly knew ye.

I'm returning your LJ name to Wal-Mart next, missy!

I forgive. Luckily I have this handy JC Penney gift card. Olive Scarf, you'll rue the day you eluded me!

[pierandocean]

well, it's not like i'm a master knitter, so your scarf probably would have sucked anyway. i'm sure one from jc penney will be much more efficient at keeping your neck warm and probably better about, like, not falling apart.
