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 218

Band names. If you've ever played Rock Band (and honestly, who hasn't? Even my mother has hit the color-coded skins a few times), you understand how much pressure falls on your shoulders when it's time to assign your motley group of musical neophytes a band name. The moniker should be clever and unexpected, perhaps a play on your occupation or favorite movie quote, and everyone has to agree on it. Yep, choosing a band name is about as easy as nailing Jell-O to a tree. Back when Rock Band was first released, two of my coworkers and I got together regularly to strum guitars and wale on the cow bell in "Don't Fear the Reaper," calling ourselves Hot 4 Teacher, which we found extremely clever. I have also been a member of Anybody Want a Peanut, Granny Panties, and Bicurious Shoes (Liz Lemon, I love you!). Now, those are some pretty awesome names, but I have two mind-blowing options in my back pocket that I've been saving for the just the right grouping and I think, Jason, you may be worthy of one of them. So, take your pick - Green Means Go or Damned If I Know. I'll give you a moment to bask in the gloriousness of my brilliance. Now for the bad news. Sadly, I discovered this morning that some Christian rock group has procured the first option (sometimes I hate the power of Google), but I think our gang is infinitely more deserving of the name, so we'll just ignore that little fact. Mull over your options, Jason, and let me know what you decide. I'll be eagerly awaiting your pick, guitar strap in hand, XBox turned on, and cow bell at the ready.

  1. Hi, my name is Claire, and I've never played Rock Band.
