Misunderstandings Through Texting

Body language is like, 80 percent of our communication (or something like that), so it makes sense that texts can be really mis-interpreted. My first-hand experience of this was about a week ago. A friend of mine, (instead of his real name, his name shall be ...) Tom, wanted to know if I was attending a friends party. So, through a text, I said I couldn't. Tom asked me why. I told him I was planning on spending the day with my sister (which was the real truth FYI! I considered it very important). Then he texted me this: "oh. good excuse." Which I totally took as major sarcasm so I kind of ... freaked out. I sent him this very long text about how stupid he was and how he wouldn't understand and blah blah blah.

Aaaand then I got this: "... that wasn't sarcasm."

Enough said.

Benny & Joon

A few nights ago, I rented the movie Benny & Joon from Blockbuster (I haven't tried Netflix yet ... I like doing things the old fashioned way). If you haven't seen it, you should! Benny & Joon is a story about a brother, Benny, trying to support his crazy (I mean that in a very literal sense) sister, Joon. Soon (Joon, Soon ... I just rhymed.) , an off-beat performer, Sam, moves in with the family with no where else to go. And so begins the touching and memorable romance between Joon and Sam. It has a very artistic, indie-film feel to it. If you're not feeling it yet, it starts and ends with the song "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers! C'mon now, that's the most epic song ever written. Plus the guys are like, Irish or something. That makes The Proclaimers even cooler.

My Obsession With Coffee Places

You know how you have those friends that have a funny quirk, or something they do just because it's their personality? Well, basically if I care about someone at all, I take them out for coffee. If you're having a bad day, I'll take you to coffee. If you want to meet up, I'll meet up with you at a coffee place. If you want to go on a date, I'll suggest - Okay, you get the picture.

I don't know why I do it, exactly. It's just the perfect environment. If it gets awkward you can drink your coffee, (or tea!) or munch on your muffin. But if your having a good time, you can sit there and talk for hours. And not to mention that I can succumb to my addiction to an extra hot, triple mocha. ;)

What's your special "quirk"?

Hey There!

I created this blog for one reason. To make me feel awesome. This blog is basically anything that comes to my mind. A movie, an embarrassing moment, whatever.

And I want to see if I write good. (That last sentence was a joke ... Just to be clear.) If I ever actually start writing on this blog, that is ...
