Long post that I hope will amuse you coming soon.
Edit: So, we have this... acquaintance (I mean, we hang out ALL THE TIME, but this guy is a huge a-hole) who has no real social skills. He can be nice and funny, but he just can't contain the hatred for all things that's bubbling just beneath his surface.
So, a little background: this is the guy who insisted on having the "Why can't I have a plus one at your wedding?" conversation at dinner one night with people who weren't invited and were apparently a little hurt about it AND THEN put down my exroommate who I intentionally did not invite as his plus one. Then AT OUR WEDDING (which was apparently the first Bama-LSU game?) told us he was leaving early because we picked the absolute worst day to get married (for some Notre Dame game... he didn't even get in to ND). Whatever. You're a wang, and I'm married. Enjoy sitting at a bar alone while we dance for three more hours.
Even before that, he actually invited himself to the wedding of one of my friends. Like, cornered her at a party and said, "Hey, I never got your invite! You must have sent it to my old address -- I can't wait to come!" So, friend, feeling trapped and kind of guilty, just played along and let him think that was the case, because it was just one guy.
Fast foward to now, and this friend has had a baby. Like most new moms, she posts a lot of pictures of said baby on facebook. One day, a-hole friend asks me, point blank, "Will you PLEASE talk to Ashley and tell her to stop posting f-ing pictures of that baby all over facebook? I mean, I'm about to unfriend her!" Even going so far as to say that posting pictures of her kid on fb is worse than bringing her kid to a bar to watch a football game.
So yesterday, friend changes her picture to one of herself, and a-hole guy tags her in a post thanking God that she's finally gone away from posting pics of her kid, and includes a really irrational tirade.
So I make a lighthearted comment about tagging him in our first ultrasound pics (when they happen), H comments that if the worst thing this girl has done to him is post pictures of her kid, then he seriously needs to chill, and another friend asks him what the big effing deal is. A few other people comment (including the husband of my friend) that he's really being an ass.
So he goes on another tirade about how he's really just happy that friend has "Found her identity" and why are we all jumping on him (we didn't) and wah wah wah Internet.
And then he unfriended all of us.
It is serious high school over here, y'all.

Re: FFF
I flame our neighbors who decided to bring their awesomeness to our breezeway and be as loud as possible last night. I was having a good time listening to them being idiots last night in front of some hot girls visiting the apartment across from them, buuuut then someone called Smith Patrol and they ended their little get together. Second time Smith Patrol has been called on them this week. Think the complex will start getting an idea of what's going on? Nah, probably not.
I also flame myself for spending $45 at Barnes and Noble last night. I didn't have the extra money to begin with, and what I bought were books on buying a house and foreclosures. I'm pretty sure we won't be able to own anything of any sort for a few years, but I guess its never too soon to start planning for it?
ETA: Amanda, that reminds me of my brother's ex girlfriend. Some people never grow up!

AGREE!
@CWaggoner: I'm a little disappointed, because H and I looked for the creepiest baby pictures we could find last night, fully intending to change our profile pictures and then bombard his news feed.

I'm tempted to ask for a translator. Seriously.
I had to read the word 3 times before I knew WTF she was saying!

[QUOTE]LOL @ everyone's flames, definitely what I needed after the slow-for-no-reason traffic on the way in this morning! Prof. Science- some people will never grow up, unfortunately... but they always make for good cautionary tales to tell others! "Let me tell you how NOT to be a total a$$..." No flames for me, FI showed up and surprised me last night (he was supposed to drive down this afternoon) so I guess we're going on a mini-date instead of just dinner before our retreat this weekend. YAY :D
Posted by kristan1022[/QUOTE]
I know Prof. enjoyed her EE, but I was just meh with ours. They talked about all sorts of communications skills, etc, that both of us kind of already learned through our jobs. Plus, nearly every couple around us was at least 10 years younger than we were. I kind of wish the Diocese would come up with one for older couples. Our struggles were definitely different. Neither of us had lived with anyone else for many years (and when I say anyone else, I mean family). Neither of us had had to share space with someone else so that was a little difficult for me. I think that, if they can have one that's in Spanish only, then they could come up with something to help couples who are not that early to mid 20s age range.
"Everyone was great, except the one kid who keeps giving everyone trouble but the dean wants to keep giving 'one more chance'. He tried copying everyone else's work and then threw a tantrum when I told him to leave."
It's f-ing high school, people.
[QUOTE]Kristan (and others)- it's Carrie. :-) FI is Scott so our celeb mashup is Scarrie.

<div>Lol cute!</div>
[QUOTE]Julie- Yeah, not to be full of myself, but FI and I have always been a little more... mature I think is the word I'm looking for, compared to our friends. I'm the oldest of 3, and my family went through some really tough stuff growing up, so I had to start acting like an adult around age 10. FI is a middle child, but his older sister acts like the baby of the family, so he's always had to step up and do pretty much everything for his family as well. <strong>I do not relish the idea of spending 2 nights in a room with a total stranger... what if they smell? What if they snore?? I know these are immature concerns, but I'm seriously having college freshman flashbacks over here.</strong>

Well, don't tell the Dallas Diocese, but we went and got a hotel room up near North Park when we did ours. We both were apprehensive of the same stuff. Ugh.
You will be about fifteen minutes from the stuff in FW near the Arts Distict/University Dr. There's lots of stuff down there. Pappas Burgers is pretty darn good. Peanut butter milkshake. <drool />

<div>I like this suggestion!</div><div>
</div><div>Ugh I wish I was brave like you! Haha, I guess I'll just have to tough it out and hope my "at least one other" roommate (yes, there could be 2 other people... *cringe*) is fairly close to my age and not some 19 yr old college freshman... I might just sleep in the car if that happens.</div>
Seriouslty WTF is wrong with my head.
I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
We sort of felt the same way. Dating for as long as we did, we'd had the big convos. We just liked having time to focus on each other (and they took a break like every twenty minutes so we could "reflect." I wasn't yet confirmed and I took a lot of time just grilling Andy about everything I could think of that I still wanted to know about the church.
[QUOTE]I have nothing flameworthy today, but I had weird @$$ wedding dreams last night. My favorite was that Courtski sent her RSVP back, but she went out of her way to go get one of those juvenile invites at Walmart (you know like a birthday party invite with a puppy on the front), and RSVP'd as "Dr Regina Phalange and Husband". As if that wasn't weird enough, they also included that they had reserved room 420 at our hotel. Seriouslty WTF is wrong with my head.

LOL. Ed's Moonshine? LOL.
ETA no it didn't, now I see it, and Jewly's response. I am going to show up on your door with moonshine one night and make you experience it!

<div>This, excactly. Not that I don't like talking with FI, but I worry that the things they'll have us focus on will be things we've already discussed- a lot gets talked about over the course of a 4 year relationship, especially with all the family drama/sadness that has occurred within the last two.</div><div>
</div><div>I will likely spend time trying to get J to make decisions rather than saying "whatever you want"... this is OUR wedding, not just mine... I need your help here! Sheesh, men.</div>

Sadly, I still feel like I was at a redundant workshop. And the natural family planning talk, where they dimmed the lights and had candles? Well.....
