Shannon, you're gonna LOVE this. . . .

Shannon dear, today I had the most interesting conversation with Jason, and Michael . . . .and Natalie and Indya and DeAnna and ....and....You get the idea....ANYWAY! So we were standing there talking....Well I guess I should start at the beginning....

So Jason was about to leave, I was walking out with his sisters, when I decided to tell him something...Well I had actually remembered it and told DeAnna to tell him, but we both agreed that I should probably see his face as it would be priceless...Which it was, but that's not the point at this particular moment...

Anyway so out I went...And I accosted him and told him that I had a confession to make, which made him look at me like he wasn't sure if he should be scared or amused...Probably both. (I'm not that bad am I? I know I tease, but I wasn't aware that I scare people that easily...) Anyway I proceeded to tell him that it's been about 2 1/2 months since I've been on Facebook...Which, oh Shannon I WISH you could've been there to see his face and the subsequent reaction...!! It was absolutely worth standing outside freezing to death because I forgot to take my coat with me when I went outside....I think I laughed for a good 10ish minutes...It was THAT priceless!! I actually managed to make the guy speechless...Granted it wasn't for long, but it's something. Or at least it's a start! Lol!

Anyway the conversation eventually went to the Jane Austen Facebook Groups that I'm a part of...And don't ask me how we got onto that subject....It's not exactly something you bring up to talk about to your guy friends, but hey! I remember how we got onto that subject! Michael, who was being Michael btw, mentioned that all the groups that he's a part of have something to do with fire arms...Which led me to mention that I have more refined taste....Albeit a more 18th century taste! ;-p So Jason started, we'll say "teasing" but it was more along the lines of "poking fun at" but in the end it's all the same basic thing so I don't care that much! Anyway

So he's going on about the different things that we'd talk about in that group....Which according to him, the height of which would be "talking about writing long letters on paper by hand" that's the gist of it anyway. But that was amusing, even though it led me to point out that what we talk about it wanting to meet guys like Mr. Darcy...And eventually to wonder why no one like Bingley....Anywho, then I said that we also talk about the guys we know who don't fit into that category, as in who doesn't count as a Mr. Darcy...Anyway Michael got it into his head that I was referring to current company....And in a way I was....Michael isn't a Darcy! lol! ROTFLOL!! ;-p but from a guy who absolutely refuses to be interested in what gals are interested in, or read the book, it's not really surprising. (Jason, just in case you were wondering I'm teasing Michael and I wasn't referring to either of you. Just to set the record straight) And they made a big show of being offended....Lol!!

Anyways! Sorry it took me so long to post this....My laptop froze halfway through and it took me a while to get it back up....that and I've had a horrible past couple of days...Shan, I really mean terrible! I swear if I keep getting stressed like I've been through this semester I'm going to get hospitalized or something...Like what happened with Jessie!

Jason, I did try to get it posted that night, Sunday night...But my laptop kinda was against it and then I had to study for an exam in my Chemistry class....The one that's a man-eating monster that also happens to be a vampire that wants to eat me and make me join its legion of the undead....

RAE! RAE RAE RAE! Since when did you start blogging again?

Jason, what's wrong with writing long letters on paper by hand? I used to write MASSIVE missives to my friends before I discovered the convenience of the internet. Like, more-than-10-page handwritten letters every week to just one friend. Also, I wish I were there to see your face when Rae shared the good news. John quit facebook recently, you know. I may even cave into the peer pressure :-P


Oh, Rae...I miss you.
