I felt like I was there, in total panic mode with you! I love how you save Finny and risk your own life going back for the keys. It reminded me of the time when I was around 12 yrs old and thought Victor,my pooch, had found a deadly Coral snake. So, I placed myself in between them and stoned the snake to death before it could latch onto my dog; totally terrified we were both going to die! Turns out it was a beneficial, non- venomous Mt. King Snake (Found out later Coral snakes don't live in the Pacific NW. It caused me to try to learn a rhyme something like this: if red touches yellow, you're a dead fellow, and if red touches black, you're OK Jack--but I was never sure I had memorized it correctly and do you want to risk your life on a silly rhyme?! Ah well, as long as my doggers was safe!)

o yes... the doggers are TOP priority! Never mind that they are probably better equipped to deal with serial killers in the shower or coral snakes!

Oh. My. God. I am totally with you on the panicking for no reason thing. Last night I shot out of bed, screamed, ran across the room and turned on the lights because I was POSITIVE there was a giant slug on the ceiling crawling towards me but there WAS NO SLUG so instead of thinking, "I must have imagined it," I yelled, "SHIT where did it GO??" and dismantled my entire room looking for it. I'm not even afraid of slugs!

Oh Mel, I'm so glad to see you torment your neat freak husband the same way I torment my neat freak boyfriend. I spent a whole year knocking carefully positioned dining chairs out of alignment just so I could snicker from the hallway as I watched him walk past and readjust them. Every day. Just for my own amusement.

I'm tee heeing over here... especially over the last bit, where you're rubbing your grubby little paws all over Jack :)

bluepoppy - 2005-04-12 10:01:02
I always see you and Jack as the wild child/sober conservative sit-com couple--- you are Lucy to his Ricky, Dharma to his Greg--- except of course you two are a thousance times more adorable and handsome and brilliant and creative and what-not--than anyone ever put on tv-- but you should write up these adorable scenarios and send it to tv land-- it would make a mint! For certain!

Hmmm...he is kinda Greg-like. But actually, Jack is more like Chandler Bing fused with Monica's obsessive cleaning thing. Only cuter. And skinnier. Hmm, hmmm, hmmm. Interesting that the actors who played Greg and Chandler are both Canadian... and probably Canadians of British descent.

wee - 2005-04-12 10:12:30
Skinnier than Chandler that is. Few men are skinnier than Monica.

HA! Oh, man. That story had my heart beating way too fast. You're such a good storyteller!

I laughed, I cried, I can totally see you doing this. I relate, I have freaked about the shower curtain myself. I wondered why, if there was a serial killer, Finny wouldn't have barked her fool head off. Then I figured that well, she may be a wee bit off-kilter for a dog... Hope you enjoyed the remainder of your undone pee. Some actor in particular lately has reminded me so much of J, but right now my mind's a blank. Zach Braff sorta -- (J's way better looking... so I don't particularly know why this one...) -- but there IS one that looks uncannily like him... do you know who I mean (cuz right now, I don't!).

Okay, we were separated at birth. I would have totally freaked too, if it makes you feel any better. That scene in The Shining totally kills me. I did a similar thing myself the other night when I was home by myself for a few hours. I walked into the kitchen and one of our gas burners was on full blast. I completely freaked out, immediately thinking that there was someone in the apartment with me... with a serious mean streak. Playing with me like that?! Turns out there was no one there, of course, and I probably brushed the knob while walking by... I think. Okay, it still freaks me out a little bit.

wee - 2005-04-13 14:19:32
Ah frecklegirl.... that is freaky! Although if it happened to me, i would have just assumed I did it and would have gone about trying to cover my tracks so the Handsome Guy would not know how stupid I was to leave the burner on. Because I do stuff like that all the time. But the Handsome Guy? If he had been alone and witnessed the mysterious gas jet burning on it's own... he would have totally assumed it was supernatural. He will never admit it, but he TOTALLY believes in ghosts and is constantly alert to the possibility we are being haunted. And Karos... Are you thinking of Seth Cohen from the OC? The actor's name is Adam Brody. He is so totally J... if you mixed in a teensy bit of Matthew Fox (from Lost/Party of 5), with a pinch of Jason Lee and a tiny dash of John Cusack, a fiber or two of Woody from Toy Story, and yes, you can add a bit of Zach Branff in there for seasoning... you would totally have Jack! If only he would let me post a picture of him, we could really open up the debate. But alas, most of you are just going to have to imagine the yumminess which is my slightly geeky, caustic, tall, dark and handsome, undubitable quirky husband.

ha ha ha-- it's funny because I'm the virgo, husband the saggitarian and he's the clean freak. Too much fun.

Heeeheees-->chuckles-->belly laughs!!! I do so adore you. And I'm still grinning from ear to ear. You made my day :~)

Wow! I felt like I was right there with you. You are an awesome story teller. Man, my hearts all racing and what not.
