It Rocked My World
(or maybe just my bathroom stall)

Why My Boyfriend is a ‘Little Bit Different’
a new series . . .
Yes, you read that right. TheGoddess, who used to embrace her Perpetual State of Boyfriendlessness, finally met a guy who doesn’t annoy her (that much). Shocking, I know. I think it works because he is almost as weird as I am. Almost. I’ve decided to keep a continuing list of all of his quirks as I learn more about him:
1. He is obsessed with Mrs. Dash extra spice seasoning. He puts it on everything. I mean everything. Name a hot food (or even room temperature food), and he douses it with Mrs. Dash. The picture below is a secret snapshot I took of his cupboard. There are ten (count ‘em, ten) bottles of Mrs. Dash in there! In his defense, he pointed out that only seven them are actually bottles of Mrs. Dash extra spice seasoning. The other three are bottles of Mrs. Dash tomato basil garlic that he bought on accident. Oh, okay. That’s makes it less weird, then.
2. He regularly uses abbreviations (that he makes up himself) in casual conversation. And he expects everyone to understand what the hell he’s talking about.
3. He loves Tupperware. Before The Boyfriend, I never owned Tupperware. Now I have a lot of it. I haven’t used it yet, and I’m not exactly sure what it is used for, but when the need arises, I will be prepared.
4. He believes that no food should ever be thrown away, no matter its expiration date.
5. He is anal retentive about folding laundry. One weekend, The Boyfriend did laundry at my place. Being the amazing, goddess-like girlfriend that I am, I decided to fold it for him while he was watching football in the other room. Big mistake. Apparently, boxer shorts must be folded length-wise, in thirds. Socks must be rolled up like a sleeping bag before being balled up. And he has a special way of folding t-shirts, but a totally different way of folding undershirts.
6. He rarely takes off his socks.
7. He compliments me in French.
8. He doesn’t speak French.
9. He was personally offended when I said the port wine cheese he bought looked like bloody cow brains. A little sensitive, eh?
10. The movie Rocky makes him teary-eyed, each time he watches it. And he’s seen it over 50 times.
11. He knows all commercial jingles and sings along with them.
12. He spent an entire night out wearing new jeans without realizing he forgot to remove the size sticker off the back of the pants leg.
13. He likes McDonald’s almost as much as I do. Almost.
14. He thinks I’m sexy even when I’m sick, snotty & congested.
15. The first night we met, he drank way too many tequila shots, even though he doesn’t usually drink. He says he did it to impress me.
16. He knows I’m writing this about him on the internet and he doesn’t find it weird. Well, not too weird.
To be continued . . .
POLL: Where is the worst place to get a zit?
There are two schools of thought on this one. On the one hand, the “worst place” might be the most painful place, like getting those zits in your inner ear (not that I’ve ever had one). On the other hand, the “worst place” might be the most embarrassing place, where it is more easily noticed by others (not that I’ve ever had one). My opinion falls into the latter category. I’d take a painful, hidden zit over a prominently displayed one any day (not that I’ve ever had one).
However, I believe there is a subset to the embarrassment factor analysis. The worst place to get a zit is a place where it could be confused as something other than a zit. My point is this: if you get a zit on your chin, the tip of your nose, or smack-dab in the middle o’ your forehead, everyone will notice it. But they will also notice that it is a zit. In contrast, if you get a zit on your lip line, speculation as to your recent herpes outbreak will be the topic of water cooler discussions in your office. Similarly, if you get a zit on the edge of your nostril, it could easily be confused for a hideous booger. That kind of zit is so much worse.

For the record, nothing inspired this section of my blog. Nothing at all. My skin is completely clear right now. Really.
Uhm . . .
Andy Griffith made a CD of Christmas songs. Someone hold me, I’m scared.
I’m a Recovering Reality TV Addict
I used to love reality TV. You know, back in the day, when it was real. Unscripted. No more, though. For example, on The Simple Life, Paris Hilton (yes, I finally got the video clip) said she doesn’t know what Wal- Mart is. She admitted later (off camera, of course) that she has, in fact, heard of Wal-Mart, but she was “playing dumb” for TV. And then there was Joe Millionaire 2. Sure, we were willing to suspend our disbelief and accept the unlikely premise that the lovely Linda from the
I’ll still watch Survivor, though. Only because I want to get on the show.

“I got a letter from my doctor telling me my cholesterol count was 373. I’m thinking that must have been a mistake. Isn’t that the equivalent of having Crisco for blood? I’m not the portrait of a health nut, but I try to take care of myself. I rarely put salt on my french fries, I drink light beer, when I have a smoke it’s usually a light or ultra light, and I always choose Original Recipe over Extra Crispy because any fool knows that’s the healthy way to go. There must have been some mix-up at the lab. Just to be on the safe side though, I’m going to watch more of those exercise shows on TV.” – Dorfman

“Why is it that I feel the need to be funny and amuse, when what I really want to do is sit on my bed kicking and screaming, or, better yet, running after the milkman, kicking and screaming nevertheless. We don’t actually have a milkman, of course, but I’m saying if we did. If we did, he’d have broad shoulders and a damn fine, expressive ass. He’d have a smooth, velvety skin, big, expressive hands, and a deep, husky voice because I simply won’t settle for anything less. But as I was saying, we don’t have a milkman, currently. I think I may have scared the last one to death, but I can’t be sure. Maybe he’s just resting.” - incrediblequirk
