Random Rambles

Though the weekend was filled with shananigans, I unfortunately ended it without a decent story to blog about. I was tempted to write about the girl who both spit on me and called me ugly within a 5 minute time span, but I've already verbally told that story to the only people who really read this blog anyway - Ryan and my parents.

So instead, I will use this post to discuss a few things which have been on my mind, but do not warrant a full entry to themselves.

Double Dipping - No, I'm not talking about that half eaten nacho that would taste so much better if you could just sneak in one last dip in the salsa. I'm talking about wearing the same shirt twice in one week. This use to be a huge no no for me as I was guaranteed to run into the same girls throughout the course of the week. Even though these run-ins may have only lasted a minute or two, it was not a chance I could take. But since graduating college, I'm spending nights all over the place - thursdays in the city, fridays in the burbs, saturdays at someones house. Its great...I've realized I can wear my favorite shirt (black button down from H&M)as many times as I want. It's like I have chips and salsa all to my self. I can double dip without thinking twice. Heck, I can even quadruple dip. Plus, the only people who see me more than once during a weekend are my close group of friends. If one of them decides to point it out I'll just call them gay and that will be the end of the discussion.

Email Valedicitons - What ever happened to the sincerely's and the best regards? Saying farewell at the end of an email has turned into a free for all. People seriously think they can get away with adding -ly to any word and its an acceptable sign-off. It really drives me crazy. To get back at all of them, I'm going to start using the word of the day as my goodbye. According to dictionary.com today's word is cynosure (http://dictionary.reference.com/wordoftheday/). Imagine this email:

Hey Tom,

It was great getting out on the golf course with you. Sorry again for laughing when you fell off the cart and broke your wrist. And sorry also for not believing you when you said it was broken. We should do it again sometime. Tell Marge I said hi.

Cynosurely,

-Scott.

Facebook Quizzes - If you're ever curious how much free time someone has on their hands, go check how many facebook quizzes they've taken in the past week. If it's above two, you can be pretty sure they either A)were home sick B)are a 7-year old girl or C)live a boring life and have no self control. A facebook quiz exists for pretty much everything these days. There's one for what car you'd drive, what entourage character you are, and what fruit most resembles your personality. There's even one that tells you what percentage white or black you are - wow, thats not offensive. A certain ex-girlfriend recently announced on an unnamed social networking site that she took a quiz entitled "The name of the person you will marry" and got "Scott" as her answer. No joke. It wasn't really the answer that surprised me. It was the fact that she let everyone know about it. For some reason the Carolina Liar song, "I'm Not Over", popped into my head. Also, I know she hasn't been home sick in awhile so I guess that leaves one of two options. For my sake, I'm hoping for option C.
