Number One Interest

I'm interested in someone.

On a scale from 1 to 10, I am interested in him probably about a one. But that's something! As I explained to my mom, it pretty much makes him my number one interest. I don't think about him when he's not around. I hardly even think of him when he is around. He's not my type. He doesn't make me laugh. He's not ugly. He's not beautiful. I don't get excited to talk to him. I don't make sure that I'm up in time to do my makeup in the morning. I can hardly even say that it's nice to be interested in at least someone after not having been interested in anyone for so long because my interest in him is only slightly above disinterest. But there it is, nonetheless: I'm interested in someone.

I'm going to have to think on this one for a while to figure out how to congratulate you and be sincere. I mean, I glad you're interested and all. But a 1??

I'm putting money on it now: marriage within a year.

Yeah... maybe I should update my post called "Future Plans." Here goes:

Don't go to Italy to earn money in a really cool way. Instead, marry boring husband.

What's wrong with boring husbands!!!!

I make a living being a boring husband!!!!

Cicada said...

And yet you use all those exclamation marks so well to defy your boringness.

At least you have a one...

I am SO happy for you. Soon we can be smugmarrieds together. And maybe, if it's okay with you, we'll have to do things together during the day when our husbands are at work so I don't have to be bored by your husband.

I suggest having kids right away. Everyone knows that solves all marital problems. Then you'll be so busy changing diapers that you won't have time to realize he's not really a person you like to spend time with.

I'm not speaking from personal experience, you must understand. But once you're married you're qualified to give advice on just about any subject. It's really quite cool.

I will now prove dalton girl's point:

1. The northside of Everest isn't so bad if you get a running start.

2. If you wipe the powder off the Doritos before eating them, the are a marvelous source of Omega-3s.

3. The mamba is best learned by practicing on the back of your hand.

4. Cold fusion is, yes, impossible, but if those people at Stanford would try aloe vera, they could probably pull off lukewarm fusion.

5. The differences between licking toads and kissing frogs are not merely romantic and pharmaceutical, but also French (ask a Frenchman, if you want more -- being married, I'm all about propriety myself).

6. Put a raw onion on the stove if you want more single men hanging about, honey.

So I'm wondering how a picture of Eeore looking at himself is related to you being faintly interested in someone..

Cicada said...

Red,

Well, I just thought that it sounded a lot like Eeyore, you know?
