Jillian and the Garrulous Exposition
I’ll concede the title is a bit much.
Let’s move on…
A Valentine’s Day scribbling:
We’re young.
We spend our money on Wrestling Pay-Per-Views and DVD’s. We go to movies and text friends about them. We MySpace. We lie in bed all day putting off laundry and paying bills. We don’t open mail. We quit jobs because they suck while having nothing else lined up. We watch cartoons and complain about dialogue. We talk about our childhood like it’s so far behind us. We feel old sometimes, like we know it all.
We realize how good we had it at home. We hate teenagers and complain about their music. We’re baffled by what passes for clothes these days. We’re liberal and conservative at the same time. We have leftover pizza for breakfast, some nights we only have dessert. We don’t eat our vegetables. We think it’s cool to buy beer and brag about showing our ID’s. We live in a home cluttered with action figures on the shelves and wrestling figures on the wall. We read comics and feel superior in our Superhero knowledge. We play videogames ’till dawn and look up cheat codes when frustrated. We plan parties that never happen and activities we never do.
We talk.
Growing up scares us. We worry about what our friends think, they seem to have it together. We casually discuss having kids while watching TV. We dream of travel. We talk about 401Ks and healthcare. We discuss what to do if one of us dies and the proper mourning period.
We argue over who gets the remote and what to watch on TV. We lose things and fight about who should look for them. We’re never on time. Our quality time involves surfing the Internet and sharing sites we “discover”. We practice different accents in case we need them. We let one another complain even if the situation is our fault.
We’re…us.

THING OF THE DAY:
I hope TOO (to??) many people aren’t using these. From the webcomic XKCD:

I must shamefully admit that the card on the right is all to near to one I would use.
aawww… sounds like bliss mate…
God bless ya both…
Cheers,
Wrestling Pay-per-views… I miss those. I really miss my illegal cable boxes and cracked satellite dish cards.
Aww shucks, ya had me gushing tears at the pointlessness (it is a word promise) of it all, and what a cute couple you make, interesting how you both have bed hair, I guess the story was true that day
Get more of the second card, ditch the first it’s way too close to the truth for my liking.
Garrett- LOL… I don’t think you’re alone.
Arv- Thanks!
whatigotsofar- Hahaha, we just went to a live RAW show back in October. It was a lot of fun. We actually got floor seats. This stupid girl kept holding up a Cena sign, blocking our view even though he wasn’t there.
Carl- Thanks… we frequently make bad decisions when taking pictures. I have no shame, I might post more. MAYBE. Yeah, I thought the cards had a little something for everyone.
Sounds like a fun, carefree life.
Enjoy it!
But please, if you have kids, for the sake of those kids…..
Get responsible, eh?
You may want to get responsible several years before you have kids, because that’s how long it takes.
Just a suggestion, for the benefit of those potential kids.
Mike- Well, I left out the bad parts!
But yes, IF kids happen… we’ll do our best to be ready. We, at the very least, want to be able to give them what our parents were able (and still do) give to us.
Thanks!
Aw, you’re “us” sounds nice. Good for you!
Sounds like your met your “Mr. Right” and he’s got his “Mrs. Right.” Good for you two! Let LOVE rule!
By the way, don’t ever grow up. I’m not.
Mimzie- Thanks!
Random Chick- LOL… see how awesome it sounds when you leave out the bad stuff? No really.. thanks. This is as “mushy” as I get and only for today!
oh Jillian… I remember that age so well. Awesome post!
The card on the right is hilarious!
Dawn- Yeah… we’ll get it together oneday!
There are no hard and fast rules for Life, it just happens as it happens and you deal with it as best you can. Trust me, I am not young LOL
The two of you seem to be doing just fine and seem happy. What more could a couple ask for?
Yep, get the Feedjit box for your site and then you’ll know where everyone is
I like being nosy like that LOL
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Anonymous- This must be Frank. Did you check he wrong box? Shame on you! But thanks. I thought I would post something nice for the day.
What more could we ask for?? To WIN the LOTTERY!
Heck, Jillian, we’re old. We spend our money on life insurance, doctor bills, retirement savings, booze (self-medication) and Preparation-H. We go to work because if we didn’t we’d lose our house and, well, no one in our families would let us move in with them. We watch the news and complain that the world isn’t the way it was when we were kids.
Growing up scares us, too.
Chubby Mommy- See, this sounds likes us in due time. And it’s good to hear someone else is still afraid of growing up… I always feel weird saying that!
Thanks!
Happy Valentine’s Day.
Hope all is well and being us doesn’t sound so bad.
It’s not too much. It’s beautiful. You guys have a great thing going. I know what that feels like, it’s the most important thing of the world to have a best friend. That you can sleep with! Haha!
I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! I really enjoy reading your posts Jillian.
