Things I Learned From My Exes, in Chronological Order

Donnie Wahlberg:

• It is perhaps best to actually meet the person whose children you would like to bear, and to be somewhat older than eleven years old while doing so.


• Also, he ain’t gonna give anybody any slack.

College 1:

• Mystery Science Theater 3000 is a funny show, and you should tape it.


• When the University of Notre Dame says not to be in the opposite sex's dorm past midnight, and you're attempting to exit at 12:20 AM down a back staircase, it is best not to choose the one currently occupied by an RA doing night rounds.


• Nobody enjoys the first four bars of "Breakfast at Tiffany's."

College 2:

• When lip-synching to "One Day More!" from Les Miserables,  one must do so while standing on a desk chair.


• People from Texas are very, very serious about being from Texas.


• What tenebrae is


• Professional wrestling is so much more than large steroid-puffed men pretending to fling one another about.  Sometimes there is also kicking.

Post-College 1:

• It is perhaps best to actually meet the person whom you claim as "boyfriend," and also perhaps to check if he also happens to be virtually dating  A FREAKING SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD  at the same time.


• A dorm at Dartmouth was the inspiration for Animal House.

Post-College 2

• When meeting a dog for the first time, hold out the back of your hand for him to sniff.


• Once you get past the resort areas of Hawaii, you are basically in Mississippi, except for the fact that  it smells better,  blondes are a somewhat conspicuous minority, gas is approximately one billion dollars a gallon, and those big green disks on top of the telephone poles are FREAKING TSUNAMI WARNING SIRENS.


• If you have this suspicious gut feeling that he's going to dump you, it's probably not a good time to broach the topic of  marriage.


• When setting down a CD or DVD outside of its case, put it rainbow-y side up


• There exists a "musical" "group" known as Acid Bath

Post-College 3:

• There is, arguably, a point to the bass guitar


• It is possible to exit a romantic relationship without experiencing a searing, world-ending hatred for your partner


• Little dogs can and do knowingly go into little airplane travel crates

MST3K is the funniest show ever in the history of history. My cousin got me into it when it was still a public access show in Minnesota and I had all of those shows on tape.

Oh, WOW, you have KTMA episodes?! That is some serious MSTie cred. I bow to your superior MSTiedom.

I assume you've already discovered Rifftrax :)

[pointyhead]

There's no need to bow. I put my jumpsuit on the same way as everyone else =D . I had those tapes until a tornado took them to Oz and have been looking for replacements ever since...

You can end a relationship without the hatred??? Really?? I'm going to be 41 this weekend and have yet to experience THAT!
