Jason says "read this blog!"
Just when I'm about to sign the DNR papers for this blog something comes along and inspires me to write another post. One of these days Jason Segel will come to his senses and beg me to befriend him. I just hope he isn't waiting to see the 365th reason. It may take years.



365 Reasons Why...An Explanation

Well, hello there (said in a very sexy voice). You're looking quite lovely today. Welcome to my blog. Feel free to take off your shoes and get comfortable, maybe leave a comment or two. This started out as kind of a funny thing to do after I blew a phone conversation with Jason, but I've found I really enjoy writing every day and researching new and interesting things about my future BFF. In January I met Jason at a comedy club and the few words we shared only reinforced my belief that he and I would get along famously. As a dear friend of mine recently said, "why wouldn't he want to be friends with you - you're awesome!" Perhaps the 365 reasons in this blog may just convince Jason of what I already know to be true: separately, our awesomeness is great; combined, it may be enough to take over the world.

Reason 123

The Princess Bride. You may be shocked to know that the first time I watched this Rob Reiner masterpiece I complained about how boring it was and couldn't believe my friends were wasting valuable sleepover time on such dreck instead of playing Light as a Feather or pigging out on cookie dough. Sure, Fred Savage was adorable, but he didn't get enough screen time to satisfy my 6th grade heart. Fortunately, the next time I watched the movie I fell in love with it, and it has been one of my top 5 favorite films ever since. Now I show The Princess Bride to my students every spring for Medieval Movie Day, ensuring a new generation will be inspired by Westley and Buttercup's love, Inigo's passion for revenge, and Vizzini's obsession with the word 'inconceivable'. Jason, I know you are also a fan of the flick and do a fairly spot-on impersonation of Fezzik, so once we're BFF's we can gleefully exchange quotes whenever the mood strikes, shouting out "Look, an R.O.U.S.!" or "I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!" as we go frolicking down the street. One of the lines I frequently slip into conversation is "Anybody want a peanut?," so imagine my shock and delight when you uttered that line in I Love You, Man. I almost fell out of my seat (which would have been disgusting because we all know what the floors of movie theaters are like). Next time you're in the mood for a viewing, Jason, just let me know and I'll drop whatever I'm doing to join you. If you ask nicely I may even whip up some MLT sandwiches, where the mutton is nice and lean...
