My Party Trick

19 Dec

Yesterday at 2pm, instead of attending the work holiday party, my two guy friends and I escaped to the bar and drank three pitchers of beer. As they droned on and on about fantasy football, boobs, bacon and whatever else guys talk about, an important question popped suddenly into my mind:

“Do I have a party trick?”

I didn’t think I did. How disturbing. “No wonder I always have such a terrible time meeting people at parties,” I thought to myself, “I DON’T HAVE A PARTY TRICK.”

I asked my friend about it and he replied, “Um…eating Oreos? You’re good at eating a lot of Oreos. And hula hooping.”

While I liked the idea of showing off these talents, something told me that partygoers won’t be impressed by watching me eat myself into an Oreo coma and chances are the host of whatever party doesn’t have two hula hoops sitting out, just waiting for me to wow everyone with my magical hooping abilities.

I spent the rest of the afternoon kind of drunk wandering around in a confused state, thinking about this missing piece to the La La puzzle.

Finally, I decided to consult my expert, Chris De Voss.
 
PartyTrick
 
Maybe he was right, surely it was my monkey face that he fell for in the first place. I went to Google Images and searched for “best monkey face” and found that compared to the results, I do actually make a decent monkey face.

So there you have it. Now I will easily make new friends and get any job I want when I move to Florida, all thanks to this unique talent!

What about you, do you have a party trick?

Thankful in 2012

21 Nov

2012 has been a challenging year for everyone I know, and I think we have all grown a lot because of it. I am thankful for this growth. I am also thankful for these other things:

1. Hot dogs.

2. The power-ups Christopher De Voss gives me throughout the day. He’s 900 miles away, so I don’t even know how he does that. We’re like magical and stuff.

3. Magic and stuff.

4. Anything that eats spiders because I do not like those guys.

5. My budding hula hooping talent that will someday make me a vaudeville circus star.

6. That I never break my nose when I’m lying in bed and drop my phone directly on it.

7. My milkshake and the superabundance of boys it brings to the yard.

8. The roof over my head and the candy on my plate.

9. Laughter caused by Twitter. I can’t believe those people give that degree of funny away for free.

10. This surfing alpaca.

 

What are you thankful for?

Happy Birthday, Christopher!

23 Oct

Today I would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to my best friend, Christopher De Voss. What makes our relationship unique is that we “met” on WordPress about seven months ago and immediately clicked  (pun not intended, but appreciated while proofreading). One might say our silly senses of humor had something to do with it.

Chris doesn’t know how grateful I was for his posts back in May when I lost Dane and needed a laugh. He took the edge off of a rough couple of months. We got closer after that and now the man makes me guffaw every day. Sometimes during our conversations, my laughter actually echoes throughout my house and my abs ache. He gives me a good workout!

He is a great, fun, thoughtful man and he deserves a party. I can’t throw him a party (900 miles will do that), but I did make him a birthday celebration (everything in the picture except the table and plate)*. Obviously, I had to eat the whole cake by myself except for this piece (and then I ate it anyway). Gosh, how unfortunate.

Eat your heart out, people who like crafts and/or cake

 

Oh, and I got him this:

You’ll never guess what’s inside

 

If I could actually present these things to him in person today, I would wear this Chewbacca costume:

Because Star Wars

 

Anyway, as my last birthday surprise, I wanted my whole lab to sing “Happy Birthday” to him, but it turns out that scientists are awkward and quite camera-shy*, so this is all you get, buddy*. I’m sorry…and I’m sorry I ate your cake and made your wish for you. However, the wine is still here, perhaps we can drink that together someday*.

Anyway, here is the video I chose instead:

 

 

haha…kidding:

Dude, last night I had a dream about a blogger orgy. It was so awkward.

Blogger orgy? Sounds like a bunch of people sitting around with laptops asking,

“What are you going to write about…. I don’t know, what are you going to write about?”

 

As I was giggling about his reply, I looked over at the Google ads and realized…oh my god, I’m a 2012 virgin-geek who loves LOTR, wants to escape and has actually peed her pants while laughing at Chris De Voss. I think Google communicated with my subconscious and called me a virgin-geek and my subconscious was like, “Oh yeah? Well check out this dirty dream and see how geeky we are now!” So, I’m sorry for having a naughty dream about a lot of you (and what I think some of you look like). Google is to blame!
