stupid broken organ.

Wow. I can't believe it has been almost a month since I've written! Exactly 5 days after my last post (which would have been November 17th), I had an emergency appendectomy (which would be why it's taken so long to write again!).

I was sick for 6 weeks. (yes, six very long, very excruciating weeks!). I had bronchitis, I had a sinus infection, I was throwing up for no reason, I had a cough and was literally turning into a snotface! The three days before I had surgery I threw up everything I tried to eat.

On Tuesday morning (November 17th), my Mom told me that I looked ghostly pale and suggested that I stay home from work. I looked at her and said "Mom, I've been sick for six solid weeks. Nothing is going to change today; I may as well go to work."

So off I went.

At work I joked around with a friend how I felt like I wasn't really sick but I was being poisoned slowly by someone I knew (I was watching Nip/Tuck the night before!), I just needed to figure out who was poisoning me and for what reason!

Around 10 that morning my stomachache started migrating toward my right side. I just knew it was either my period or appendicitis. Around noon the pain started increasing so I decided it would probably be best to leave for the day.

In the 20 minute drive from work to my Dad's office (I wanted to talk to my Mom) the pain amplified. I could barely get out of the car and couldn't stand upright. As soon as I saw my mom I burst into tears and said "Something is very wrong." She called the doctor and they set up an appointment for 3:30. I tried to sleep in my Dad's office while waiting the three hours until it was time to see the doctor. Around 3 I couldn't take the pain anymore and told Mom that I needed to go immediately. Every bump in the car sent radiating pain through my side.

The doctor took me right on back. I explained to him the pain I was having in my side and he examined me. When he touched my side I almost punched him in the face it hurt so bad. He said he thought it was the appendix & that I needed to go to the hospital for further testing. Before I left his office he gave me a shot of some sort of heaven. Took all the pain away for about an hour.

I got checked into the hospital around 4 and had a CT (probably 5ish...I had to drink that chalk crap). While waiting for the results to come back from the CT, my doctor came in and prescribed morphine for me as the meds from his office had worn off. As soon as the nurse gave me my dose of it, I felt a burning sensation in my throat and I could see a rash developing on my arm. My Mom said my eyes rolled back in my head and I plopped my head back on the pillow... I'm obviously allergic to Morphine! Doc was still nearby so he was able to give me a huge dose of benedryl and *voila* I was good again. However, after that I was only allowed Demerol!

The results came back around an hour after the CT scan. I was on the operating table less than half an hour after that. Luckily, my appendix hadn't ruptured but it was close; the doctor sent home pictures and you can see where it was bulging out. I am so lucky I went to the doctor when I did! The doctor was able to do it laproscopically and I ended up with an inch long scar under my boobs and a small one on my panty line and right under my belly button. Not so bad!

I ended up having 2 weeks off work. (Thank you, Thanksgiving for giving me a couple extra days off!) After two years of employment (which for me was about 2 weeks before my appendix went bust), we get 6 weeks paid time off for emergencies which was amazing since I didn't have enough sick time to cover the entire absence! It also looks like I will only have about $2,500 worth of medical bills too (which seems like a lot, but the surgery alone was $17,000).

It all happened so fast... less than 12 hours from the start of the pain until surgery! So yeah, I'm back and better than ever!

This post is already long enough, so I'll have part 2 coming up soon.... The surgeon who didn't want to do my surgery & the recovery nurse from hell are up next!!

Appendix free is the way to be!

the un-tag

Tonight I finally did it: I deleted and untagged all the Sam & Rose pictures on facebook. It took for.ev.er. (I removed him as my friend months ago when it was still to hard to see skanks posting pictures with him & writing on his wall)

I have no feelings for him at this point. We can't be friends. Since I ended it, I find him to be a pompous and arrogant asshole. When hearts are broken, people change. He changed...and in my opinion not for the better (but does that even matter? no.) Some people are able to walk away from relationships with knowledge they didn't previously have & others, well they don't.

Things I learned:
-I learned that letting your boyfriend buy you a yorkie after dating for 3 months is not a good idea; the dog will be the one caught in the middle.
-I learned that divorcees = disaster (at least for me!)
-I learned to NEVER change myself for the person I'm dating, it will only bite me in the ass later.
-I learned the qualities I need in a relationship (and the ones I don't want!).
-I learned to still schedule times to be with my friends; I'll regret it when we've grown apart.
-I learned to go into relationships with eyes wide open.
-I learned that I am lovable.
-I learned that my family and friends do know me better than I think and I should value and listen to their opinions.
-I learned to rely on other people
-I learned it's way more fun to roadtrip with a best friend to a wedding than to go with a boyfriend (Holla, Jill!)
-I learned that heavily medicating myself does work, but only for a short amount of time...sooner or later I'll have to deal.
-I learned that it is possible to start life over.

Looking back, I think I always knew it wouldn't work. I wouldn't change it though. If nothing else, it was one helluva learning experience.

Rose

quarter-life crisis

I'm fairly certain that I'm going through a quarter-life crisis. A lot of little things have been accumulating for quite some time now (honestly, it's nothing worth posting about!). I came across this writing last night & liked it... I think it does a pretty good job at explaining everything. I hope everyone has a splendid weekend!

The Quarter-Life Crisis
By: Unknown

It is when you stop going along with the crowd & start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may or may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared.

You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.

You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not. You are insecure and then secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person.

One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.

You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for yourself and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!

What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

I fell in love with Damien Rice when I first heard him in 2003.

It reminds me of my freshman year of college. My roommate, the girl next door and I would hang out the window of our third floor dorm room and spit sunflower seeds (classy, no?) while gossiping & listening to Damien Rice.

We actually got to see him perform in Cincinnati that year on Easter. It was amazing.

I was feeling a bit nostalgic and decided to youtube some of his videos. I came across this video (one I've never seen) and fell in love. It's an amazing version of one of my favorite Damien Rice songs and I adore the way it's filmed. I figured I would share

Anchors Away!

There was some interest in my chest piercing. It can either be called a microdermal or anchor. This isn't going to be the best blog post ever; mainly just explaining it.

You can stay tuned for an awesome post about our Kings of Leon concert night

I've always dug anchors. I think they are totally bad ass. I've always heard that they were permanent, meaning once it's in, it's in for life. Seeing I have no tattoos or anything permanent on my body this of course freaked me the fuck out.

My sister has recently lost a ton of weight and wanted to get her hips pierced. Being a bit of a piercing pro, she asked me to go with her. She originally wanted surface piercings which have a really high rejection rate (about 80%). After talking to our piercer she explained that if an anchor is done correctly, it has a rejection rate of about 2-3%. She also told us that although we can't take the piece out ourselves, we can always come back to the shop where she can remove it. Semi-permanent .... Sounds perfect! She showed us her scar from where she had one (seriously, it looked like a tiny pimple).

She then showed us the jewelry. Below is a picture that shows what an anchor looks like and how it goes into your skin. you can see where the screw actually sits flush to your skin and your stud of choice screws in (we both chose diamonds). The holes (in the top) are for your skin to grow through to secure the anchor and the anchor actually only goes about 2mm under your skin.

My sister went first and winced. She screamed. She squeezed my hand until I thought I was going to cry. She then offered to pay for me to get mine done (which was about $75). I just chose a place I wanted and did it. Live fast, die young..right?

First the piercer pinched my skin over and over to loosen it up. It actually kind of hurt where I had it done because there isn't much skin there. The piercer pierced a hole in my skin (I didn't watch so I'm not sure if she did a dermal punch or with a needle).

As you can see, the the entrance hole and the back and front don't exactly line up. The piercer had to push and pry the anchor down to make sure it was in the correct position. It seriously hurt like a motherfucker. As soon as it was in place, I stood up and had a look.

It only hurt for the first 2 days maybe. It feels fine now and I can touch it (although I avoid doing that at all cost!) I've had it for 2 weeks today. In another 4 I can get the top diamond screw changed (there are colored gems and all that). Although in my opinion it hurt more than a normal piercing, the quick healing time is much worth it.

I actually wished I had chosen to move it up a little higher on my chest. TMI, but my boobs kind of squish together and put pressure on it when I sleep and irritate it a bit and I think it's moved it's placement. Also, depending on the bra I wear, it's placement is different. I sometimes have to adjust my boobs to make the piercing in the middle. I do like that it is hideable though, I actually have my shirt pulled down a bit in all of the pictures.

I like it. I'm not in love with it. I think I would be in love with it if it were a tad bit higher... I think it's cool and I don't know anyone else who has it.

So here are some pictures I know you all want to see. Forgive me for the quality (they were taken with my camera phone), for the inconsistency of the pictures (it's kind of hard to take multiple pictures of your boobs from the exact same angle!) and wearing the same necklace 2 times (but I just LOVE it)

This is right after it was implanted. Note how red my skin is around it from all of the pinching.
I know you've seen this picture, but this is what it looked like during week 1:

This was earlier this week. Maybe Monday?
Today: Sorry it's hard to see, I took this in the bathroom at work!

So yeah. Those are my boobs & that's my anchor. I'll let you all know when I decide to remove it!

*Expose Yourself*

I'm sure when Gina decided to tag us in the Expose Yourself thing she did it for two reasons.

1. She knew that one or both of us would do it (our blog isn't called Delightfully Inappropriate for nothing!)
2. She wanted us to get back to blogging!

The rules state: Tell us 3 things about your sex life. You can make them whatever you want and it doesn't necessarily have to pertain to your current partner (or a partner at all for that matter). You can talk about your likes or dislikes, your kinky fetishes or your secret desires. You can tell us a funny story about the time you were having sex in the woods with your old boyfriend and you both ended up with 1,000 tics. Whatever you want... its totally up to you.

I guess I should tell you who this is posting: Rose! If Jill wants to do it, she'll post a separate entry. Let's face it, we're huge slackers at blogging so you'll get two instead of one :)

1. I'm OBSESSED with this product called Liquid V for Women. The product claims to
"helps to stimulate and heighten the sensitivity in a woman's erogenous zone. This increases the rate of orgasms therefore making the moment one that can only be achieved with Liquid V." Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever about all of that. All I know is when I dab a bit on my orgasms are better and quicker. I can't give a good enough review of this stuff. It may not work for everyone so I suggest getting a sample (there are little $4 samples which last quite a while at the check out counter of our Hustler)

2. I like it a bit rough. Push me around a little bit, bite me a little bit harder, slap my ass and pull my hair. I'm all yours if you do that.

3. I prefer missionary position. Don't get me wrong, I'll do it any which way, I don't really care... Missionary is just my favorite! How old school am I?

I hereby pass this award on to: ANYONE who feels brave enough to post it! Come on ladies, you know you want to!

25 Inappropriate Things.

I saw this idea somewhere else but I can't remember where. This is a list of 25 inappropriate/bad things about me.

I'm not tagging anyone in this. It's pretty amusing to do though!

on to the list:

1. I flip the bird at least 10 times a week while driving.

2. I'm supposed to make at least 35 calls a day to clients. I call Jill, my mom, my sister, my dad's office and sometimes my cell phone's voicemail to reach the number

3. I am a straight up creep status. If I want to know something about you I will find it out. I will facebook, myspace and/or google the shit out of you. I've even made Jill drive passed a house or two to see the guy's living situation.

4. Sometimes when I get pain pills for my cramps, I'll take one or two recreationally.

5. Lately, when someone pisses me off I've written them off. I used to be forgiving but not so much anymore. I have a "fuck off and die" list right now.

6. I got caught shoplifting when I was 16 and was on probation until I was 18

7. My 16 year old cousin went shopping with me last weekend. Instead of scolding her, I asked her why she didn't lift something for me.

8. I say "fuck" at least 100 times a day.

9. When I was 21, I had a freshman fling who had just turned 18. Now, at 23, I made out with a 47 year old co-worker who is married and has kids my age. Also at 23, I have a minor crush on my little brothers best friend. I need to change my life, starting immediately.

10. I am in love with a guy from work. It's not even that he's really attractive. He's about 40. Has a wife and kid. We have so much in common it's ridiculous. Sparks start flying when we start talking. We love the same music, books, bars and the list could go on. A co-worker even noticed it. I wish he wasn't married OR had a kid because I would be allllll over that. I think about fucking him all the time. I mean All. The. Time.

11. My first vibrator will always be my favorite. I hope it never dies.

12. I will always have a love for the "Team America" song... America, FUCK YEAH... so lick my butt and suck on my balls. It always gets stuck in my head at the most inappropriate times ...like right now, at work.

13. The same with "Wow, I can get sexual too" by Say Anything... "I called her on the phone and she touched herself....she touched herself...she touched herself. I called her on the phone and she touched herself. I laughed myself to sleep."

14. I say exactly what I think. If I think something looks bad, I'll say it. Normally this causes shocked reactions from people because the word "fuck" is often involved.

15. I once left a fraternity party to go home with a boy from another school. He was engaged. Jill got pissed and I told her I would find my own way home from his house. She called my sister. Our friendship almost ended over it.

16. The first person I ever gave a blowjob to had a serious girlfriend. After him there was a string of guys who were in relationships. I'm passed that stage in my life (ignore said 47 year old co-worker. I was fuuuuucked up).

17. I once hooked up with a guy name Bobby. He was decent looking and hung around my coffee house. He crashed a college party and told all my friends that I gave him the best head of his life. I took a bit of pride in that. Then Jill had butt sex with him.

18. Ever since I broke up with Sam I've been horny all the time. It sucks because the men around here = not so good.

19. The other night I asked my Dad a pressing question. "Dad, here's a pressing question: is it better to have oral or genital herpes? Do you want the world to know you're a whore or just your significant other?" See... I'm even inappropriate with my parents.

20. Apparently when I'm messed up, I always talk about sex. Jill said that a night with me isn't complete unless I bring up sex.. The other day I actually said "I'm trying really hard not to talk about sex right now."

21. 90% of the time my boobs are showing at work. Unless I have on a turtleneck or t-shirt, my cleavage is showing. Although not my fault, my boobs are huge. No one has ever said anything though.

22. If I'm eating at work and not going out to lunch, I won't stay clocked out for an hour. I'll clock out, cook my food, eat it, clock back in and then sit around for a while smoking or whatever. They cut my overtime at work, so I have to do something. Plus, this normally results in being able to leave early on Friday because I've capped my hours.

23. An addition to #5. On Saturday Jill & I went to a wedding. A pregnant friend (well, former friend. neither of us has talked to her in about a year), wanted to catch up with us. We ignored her. Straight up looked her in the eyes and walked away. No words exchanged.

24. I like off color jokes. Helen Keller and dead baby jokes almost always cause me to chuckle.

25. I've spent more time making this list than actually working.


This list was a bit difficult to write. There are so many different things I could write but I didn't want to air all of my dirty laundry :)

<3,
Rose

the psychic.

I had 2 psychic readings today. For free. Both were dead on.

My sister has 4 coworkers that are psychics. Yes, psychics. Yes, four of them. A couple weeks ago she had a lady, Cat, read her coffee grounds. Of course, I was totally sucked into this and dying to have mine read. Sis talked to Cat and she said I could come in today when she got off work and have mine read.

I was told to bring in used coffee grounds, a styrofoam cup and a payday candy bar (Cat can see peoples fortune better if they are nice to her so since I've never met her apparently bringing her favorite candy bar is the next best thing)

When I first got to my sister's work, Cat hadn't finished her shift yet so I was sitting in the lobby with Sis. Pat (the other psychic) came up and started chatting to us and told my sister she was going out to smoke. With Pat, her abilities are hit or miss. She can't choose when to know something she just does. She was about halfway down the hall and comes back to me and says "Are you involved with anyone?" I told her not really, just Timmy and that was just sex. She looked at me and said "Whatever you do, don't trust him." Then she looked at my palm and told me that I will have three children. She said sometimes that it could be miscarriages and/or pregnancy (like 1 miscarriage, 2 children). That was all that Pat really said as she was still on the clock.

Cat clocks out and asks me to come into the back room with her while she mixes the cup. My sister grabs a cup for me (of course I had to forget something!!) and dumps the coffee grounds into the cup of water. Cat then grabs a plate and we go into the library where no one will bother me.

Once in the library she told me to swirl the coffee grounds while thinking about things I want her to touch on (I chose job, female issues/possible endometriosis, love life and my brother). She then had me put the plate over the top of the cup and flip it upside down. I had to spin the cup 3 full times (coffee ground water was spilling all over the plate!) and hand it to her. She took the cup off of the plate and peered into and that's how she was able to see things about me. She said it was a bit difficult to read as it was a tall coffee cup, not a small one, but she knew things anyway!

Cat talked to me for a full hour until she had to meet her sister.

Here are some of the things I can remember:
-The first thing she told me is the house I'm living in has some minor plumbing issues (which my bathroom is jacked. My tub and sink drip water ALL the time).

- I have a silver lining around me. Cat said she doesn't see that often but it is similar to a guardian angel watching over me at all times. She also said that it brings luck to me.

-She doesn't see me having surgery for endometriosis. She told me that I need to go see a female gynocologist and they'll straighten everything out.

-My brother will get joint custody of his children. She sees his future ex wife moving back to Kentucky on her own. She said that my dad has some pull in the court system that we don't know about yet. She also kept seeing my brother throw his kids up in the air and catching them.

-She said that right now I can really relate to MJ's song "Man in the Mirror" because I'm going through big changes in my life

-She told me that I have a large group of friends and that I love to dance.

-She told me that I was going on a trip soon (Jill and I are traveling to Maryland in 3 weeks for a wedding), that we decided to drive instead of fly (true), we'll have fun. She told me that she feels that I'll catch the bouquet. She also said that Jill will be running around like a mad woman right before it's time to leave because she won't leave until everything is perfect and she'll procrastinate until the last minute to get everything done.

-She said I either already know or will meet a bald man. (I think I already know him). She said the bald man will somehow connect me to a man that I'll "get on with really well." She said that he'll be very tan, have stunning eyes and that we will make the perfect pair. She told me that he either works at/around the airport or I will meet him there. She thinks his name starts with R and could possibly be Ron. R is around my age. She seriously went to town on this person. She knew a ton about him.

-She knew I was unhappy with my job. She told me that she knew I felt under appreciated and that I have too much energy for my position. Cat also said that there was envy towards me because I was doing so well and when I leave they will have no reason not to give me a stellar recommendation. She said someone I know will help me find a job better suited for me, but I will not be leaving my current position until I find it.

- She told me I'll have more opportunities to travel in the future but I won't be able to take them due to work/finances

- She told me that although I don't always think so, all of my friends and family think I'm hilarious

-She talked a lot about Sam. She said that he and his family loved me very much and that he still does. She said it will crush him when I start to date again. She told me what type of dog he has (!), his roommate isn't a good influence on him and she even told me what he looked like.

It was ABSOLUTELY ridiculous how much Cat told me. She knew things that no one else would be able to pinpoint. I wish I had taken a pad of paper in there and written it all down so I could remember it. She was going so fast that I can't even remember it all. She told me that she would love to read me again and I seriously can't wait.

I'm a believer,
Rose.

Queeeens of Awe-summm

Ok I'm a slacker. I (Rose) was supposed to publish this after I filled it in. Well, I filled it in last week and forgot! So here is Jill's post from 5/15/09!

Last night when I got off work I went over to Rose's house for a visit with her and the family. I picked a great night to go over because I got to see Rose's sister and brother and law's new place. Well, it isn't new...but they are moving across the road into a place and I'm very excited for them!!

While I was there Rose asked if I would help her clean out her closets. I agreed and it's a good thing I did! I left there with massive amounts of clothes that Rose no longer wears. Thank God my best friend is the same size on top as I am!!! I probably walked out with 25 shirts! Thanks Rose. Love ya!!

And if all that wasn't enough to make me happy, Rose and I got an award!!!!! I have to admit, this awards is amazing! It's all sparkley and pretty, plus I love the vintage looking image. The award and the girls who gave it to us are exactly what the award is for...Awe-Summm-ness!!

Lil' Woman and Gina at Namaste by Day both gave us this award! Thanks to you both!!!!

So, for us to be considered the Queens of Awe-Summm-ness we have to do some stuff...

1. List 7 things that make me Awe-Summm.

2. Pass the award onto 7 bloggers that I love

3. Tag those bloggers to let them know they are now Queens too (and link back to the Queen who tagged you)

Jill:

1. I'm obsessed with George Washington. I know, many people wouldn't consider this to be "Awe-summm" but I do. Ask me a question about him and chances are I'll know it! Love me some GW.

2. I have recently become a domestic goddess. Baking, cleaning, sewing, anything you would think Martha Stewart would be doing, I'm doing. It's crazy, but awe-summm!

3. I play video games -and- like it. Awe-summm...I know.

4. I love camping and kayaking. I'm seriously looking into buying a kayak. Now, I'm not talking kayaking as in doing all the rapids and waterfall shit, I'm just talking about lazily floating down a river, stopping frequently for cigarette breaks. I could seriously camp/kayak every weekend and never get tired of it. Awe-summme

5. I finally re-taught myself how to do a cartwheel. Awe-summm, for real though. I mean, it took me hours to re-teach myself how to do this. Those f'n cartwheels are hard to do!!!

6. I've seen more dead bodies than most people will ever see in their entire life. I consider this awe-summm, but morbid at the same time. My dad is a coroner. I've been helping him do stuff around his labs my entire life...don't worry, I never actually do anything with the cadaver, I just work around them when helping him.

7. I still play bassoon in a concert band. Most people in band stop after high school, or for some college. But not me. I'm die-hard all about some concert band. Whoo!


Rose:

1. Did you see where I gave lots of clothes to Jill? Yeah, I gave her stuff I still wear (like my baby blue cardigan) because she is my best friend and I know she has wanted it for a long time. Yeah, that makes me awe-summmm

2. I am horrible at actually washing my clothing. Like to the point I had so much that I couldn't grasp where to start. The reason I gave the stuff to Rose last night is my Mom decided to help me out and wash all my laundry. Over 30 loads. There were things that I haven't seen in two years. What is awe-summm is that I have over 70 pairs of socks. Whenever I ran out I would just buy some. You might call it patethic, I call it awe-sum (and just for the record, I'm keeping up with it now!)

3. I'm a bookworm. But what is awe-sum is that I read in paragraphs, not lines. I had an IQ test when I was in 4th grade and that's what the shrink who administered it said. I guess that means I can read large blocks at a time.

4. I could read books by the time I was 2. Awe-sum.

5. My birthday sometimes falls on Labor Day. Hello, National Holiday: Rose's birthday! (It's September 1st if you want to send me gifts)

6. I taught my Mom her new favorite phrase, "Fuck-Tard." How awe-sum is that? She calls people Fuck-tards all the time now. AMAZING.

7. I know how to ballroom dance, square dance and clog. Ok, that was a lie because i couldn't think of anything else. How about this: I am an awe-summ liar. Well, that's not true either. I'm actually a horrible liar so I'm an awe-summly honest person?


Ok, we're not passing it on. We love you all and think you're all queens!! So if you want it, you deserve it!

Da Baddest Bitch

Found this on Gum-Shoeing's blog and I love doing these things. Even if you don't read it, you can always do it because it's fun and I love to see what music everyone likes :) I'm not sure why I have so many repeat artists. My iPod has a ton of songs and the same artists just kept coming up. Strange.

at least I got a drink out of it.

When I asked the blog for help with topics, The Dumbest Smart Girl You Know was the first to give a topic: "I love dating horror stories. What were your worst dates ever?"

Well, that is easy enough. Mine wasn't really a single it date. It was several forced awkward ones with the same person. I'm sure Jill remembers this all quite well (if she wasn't totally belligerently drunk the entire time. But to be fair, most of that year is a haze for me too) because we got some seriously good laughs out of it.

My senior year of college I dated (and I use this term lightly) a total douche bag. I knew he was a douche bag because he cheated on his girlfriend with me and that is how we got together in the first place. Jill knew he was a douche. All my other friends knew he was a douche. I think that is why I liked him... plus, he was pretty hot. Even my grandma said so. It didn't hurt that he had money and always paid for everything (I was in college and had to beg people for liquor money. Don't judge me.)

When I finally decided that I was over him, I started listening to my Mom. Mom had been trying to get me to go out with this guy named Will since I was about 17 which was about the last time I saw him. So I considered it a blind date.

"You all will get married. I just know it," she said. "You are perfect for each other!" I should have sprinted for the hills then, but being broke I figured,"Hey, free date. At least I can save money on food and buy more alcohol for later!"

You know the story: He called. We chatted a little about my life, a little about his life. He asked me out. We had a date for that Friday; he was to pick me up at my dorm around 8.

I got ready and waited for Will to show up. He called and said he was pulling in front of my dorm. I looked out the window and saw this:



Jill and I gasped. You have got to be fucking kidding me. I knew I was in for it at that very moment. First of all, that truck was a little to country for my liking. Don't get me wrong, I'm a born and bred country girl but really, a flat bed? What the fuck is the purpose of that? The only other person I knew with one was my 94 year old grandfather and even he didn't have a use for it!

I gave Will the benefit of the doubt and walked out to meet him. I grabbed onto the "oh shit" handle and hoisted myself up into that bad boy.

"I was thinking about the Logan's in BigTown for dinner and possibly a bar after." Will said. I told him that was fine and picked up my cell phone to text Jill that he wasn't horrendous and he seemed decent enough.

We got to dinner and he told me to go ahead and order a drink first. "I'll have a tall Amber Bock," I said. He just gave me a look that screamed LUSH. "I'll have a Coors light... in a bottle. I don't need a tall one." Uh oh. Awkward. We started chatting about life or something.

Then he drops the first bomb: BOOM "I'm 33." WOAH. Momma hooked me up with someone 12 years older than me? What could I possibly have in common? Before I had time to fully register that he had hit puberty before I was born, BOOM bomb number 2... "The longest relationship I've ever had was 6 weeks." AND YOU'RE 33?? I had relationships longer than that in middle school! I knew it couldn't possibly work and I wanted to get the fuck out of there. Plus, the dinner was coming to an end and I was itching to get back to campus to drink with my friends.

"So, Rose, about that bar?" Well, I felt obligated. It was 8:30 and I couldn't feign being tired. So he takes me someplace that looks like this:



I guess he listened when I told him that Jill and I frequented the shady bar up the road. Although we did go often, we went for free drinks and we were friends with the bar tender. That is not the type of place you take a girl on a first date.

About 15 minutes into I fed him a line of bullshit along the lines of "I have a bit of a headache and have to study for my senior thesis first thing in the morning." Like I would ever get up on a Saturday morning to study!

He drove me back and asked me if I would like to go out Tuesday night. For once in my life I couldn't come up with an excuse.

Tuesday came and I fucking felt obligated to go. I told him I had more studying to do (total lie, I had drinking plans) and that we should go to the Applebees in CollegeTown. After more forced and awkward conversation he took me back to my dorm. When he parked to let me out of the car he scooted himself next to me. First of all, I find sitting that close to someone that I don't care for extremely uncomfortable. Second of all, I knew what was next...

He kissed me. I felt like I was frenching my 5 year old dog. His tongue was everywhere. I've been throwing up drunk and had better kisses then that one.

So, he calls me on the following Saturday and I answered. My thoughts will be in italics.
Will: How are you?
Rose: Well and yourself? like I give a fuck
Will: Great! I can't wait to see you again. Oh, shit. Oh shit. He is going to ask me out again. What did you do last night?
Rose: Well, Jill and I went to our bar. Got pretty drunk. I headed back to the dorm. Jill being the Lush that she is stayed with the boys she met that night. One of the boys called me from Jill's phone and asked me to come over. They picked me up and we hung out until about 8 this morning.
Will: Well. This obviously isn't going to work out. We're in two completely different stages in our lives. You want to party too much.
Rose: Okay. Bye.

Then later that night he called me: "Rose, I'm drunk. I've been drinking since I talked to you earlier today. I'm upset. I thought this could really be something. I just don't understand why you aren't interested. When you graduate college will you be ready to settle down?" HE JUST KEPT GOING. No wonder his longest relationship was 6 weeks! "Well, Will. I'm not really sure. It sure has been real though!"

And that was that. Apparently during the span of our first and second date he stopped by my parent's house and had a drink with them and talked to them for quite a while about my beauty, my wit, and who the hell knows what else.

I had to explain to Mom that we were just in two different places. Plus I've had bottles of lube and periods that lasted longer than his entire relationship.

My Mom still brings him up. "Whatever happened with you and Will? I was so sure you would hit it off!"

Sure, Mom. If I wanted to date a clinger.

Still a drunk,
Rose

We are famous. It's official.

It has been declared. We are famous! We just got 3 more awards, all in one day by Melissa!



Rules:
List five things about yourself that YOU think makes you SEXY!

Rose: So, this is pretty hard. I’m looking at myself and trying to figure out what is sexy. I think I’m more cute than sexy.
1. My cleavage, depending on the shirt though. Sometimes the girls hang out wayyyy too much.
2. My lips. They are full and luscious.
3. I’ve had lots of comments from my clients saying I have a sexy voice. I get this one: “You sound sexier and sexier each time I talk to you.”
4. When my hair is straight.
5. I have great legs. They are very toned and I don’t even work on them. My little brother even complimented them the other day.


Jill: I don't consider myself sexy...but I'll play along.
1. I play hard to get without realizing I'm doing it. Which explains why guys who I don't like end up head over heels for me.
2. My voice...I talk a lot on the phone at work...my claimants are always telling me that I have a nice voice. I actually had one guy tell me that I was on speakerphone and his friend (who was listening) thought I had a "sexy" voice. He also wanted my phone number so he could call and hear my voice, or listen to my voicemail repeatedly...creepy.
3. When I walk I look around. I don't look down at the ground or try not to look at people. When I walk I look at the people and things surrounding me. I think it shows confidence, which is sexy.
4. Since my body is most definitely NOT sexy, I'll go with the tattoo on my side. I think it's sexy. If you don't, sorry 'bout your luck.
5. The way I dress. I don't dress provacatively, unless I'm trying to get free drinks. But I dress the way I want. Sometimes I don't match, and I'm always wearing something that makes you go "hmm" but if I found a guy whose style resembled mine, I'd go for him.




Rules:
List 7 things you do on a regular basis that could become an addiction.

Rose:
1. Water. I drink water like it’s my job
2. Coffee. I’ve tried to limit myself to one travel mug a day because if not I have a major caffeine meltdown in the afternoon.
3. Wikipedia and Google. It’s unhealthy the amount of things I look up.
4. The news. I’m obsessed with the news. I check AOL, MSN, Yahoo, MSNBC, and Fox news at least 3 times a day.
5. Text messaging. I would rather text than talk on the phone any day.
6. Sleeping. I seriously cannot sleep enough. I can wake up, tool around for half an hour and go back to sleep for a 3 hour nap.
7. Lipstuff. I love having smooth lips. Lipstick, lipgloss, chapstick. You name it, I love it.


Jill:
1. Smoking cigarettes.
2. Drinking Diet Coke.
3. Drinking McDonald's sweet tea.
4. Sleeping. I sleep less than the average person. This is an addiction. It's almost like a contest with myself to see how long I can stay up and how early I can get up.
5. Being lazy. Every night after work I sit on my couch watching TV. That's seriously all I do. I might get up to fix myself something for dinner, but that's only if I'm really hungry.
6. Facebook. Self-explanatory.
7. Driving. I drive 40 minutes to work and 40 minutes home. I also tend to drive a lot during the weekends, whether I'm driving or one of my roommates is, I'm on the road a lot.




So, I (Jill) took like 9 years of the Espanol. However, I can't speak, write or understand a word of it. So uhm. If any of you out there speak it let us know what this award means. Something about cool...I don't know.

Anyway, Thanks Melissa for these awards!

Because we are writing this at work, and we have to be careful about the time we spend on here...If you are reading this and consider yourself to be sexy, addictive or cool, consider yourself tagged!
Congrats!

It's kind of like we're famous.

Gina is giving us our first interview! I feel like we should be sitting in chairs across from each other, very formal, with a camera pointing to us and people coming in to touch up our makeup!

Rose,
1. Team Angelina or Team Jennifer...and why?-Team Angelina hands down. She's edgy. Badass. Totally not the girl next door. Everything I strive to be minus her creepy days (you know what I'm talking about: that kiss with her brother & wearing Billy Bob's blood around her neck)

2. What tv show are you embarrassed to admit that you love?-I'll take Dawson's Creek on this one. I have 4 seasons of it on DVD. I just love the extended vocabulary those darn 15 year olds had. When I was in 7th grade I totally thought it was my life story (even though I didn't have a Dawson character, nor a skank next door or divorced parents or live by a creek...) but yeah, it was totally my life.

3. If you could have any non-traditional pet, what would it be and what would you name it?-Easy. Giraffe. I would probably name him Igor. But then again, I need to see an animal to name it.


4. If you could travel to any era in the past, what would you choose, and why?-I've never been able to answer this question. I can't choose. I'm kind of a history dweeb (But not like Jill is) and I am fascinated by aspects of almost every era. I'm going to say any amount of time between the start of the Early modern period through some of the Modern Era. So 14th century through the roarin' 20s. But I would also like to see the 40s, 60s and 70s.

5. What one fashion faux pas would you rid the world of, if possible?- Well, I think that if you can pull it off then wear it. I have somewhat of an eclectic style, so who am I to judge? However, the one thing I don't think anyone should own would be those black liquid leggings. Seriously, those things look like shit on everyone. If you don't know what I'm talking about, see below photograph. If you own said liquid leather leggings, please dispose of it immediately.



Jill,
1. Is there one song that always makes you happy/energized no matter what? If so, what is it?
Yes, there are several songs that always make me happy/energized no matter what.
Here's the list:
-D.A.N.C.E. by Justice
-Smiley Faces by Gnarls Barkley
-Strict Machine by Goldfrapp
-Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show
-You Wreck Me by Tom Petty
-Canned Heat by Jamiroquai
-You got Yr. Cherry Bomb by Spoon
*I can make one hell of a playlist...this list could go on and on for days*

2. If you could sleep with any celebrity and no one would ever know, who would you choose?
Hands down I would choose Johnny Knoxville. He's really hot. He has tattoos. He's funny. I bet he'd be good in bed.
And here is some eye-candy for you girls out there!



3. If you had to watch one movie at least once a week for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I would probably choose one of the "Freaks and Geeks" movies, like Superbad, Knocked Up or Pineapple Express. It would be a hard choice. However, for now...I'd probably go with Superbad, but any of the "Freaks and Geeks" stuff would do.

4. What is a talent you wish you had, but aren't even close to having?
I wish I could Kayak. I think it would be a whole, hell of a lot of fun. Except for the whole rolling thing. I would probably freak out. I've never even attempted kayaking. I also wish I could paint. I tried for a while, but never actually made anything worth keeping.

5. What choice have you made that you are proudest of?
I am very proud that I went and graduated from college. Neither of my parents went to college, and they struggled to make careers for themselves (though now they are both in great careers). I love learning, which is why I chose to go to college...but now that I've graduated I'm proud that I ended up sticking with something for 4 years.

If you want to be interviewed...just let us know and we'll come up with something for you!

<3,
Rose and Jill

brought to you by the letter M

Gina (among others) did this amazing post where you're given a letter and you have to pick your top ten favorite things that start with that letter. I was given:


1. Markers- specifically permanent ones. especially Sharpie Permanent Markers with Extra Fine Point


2. Music - I love to make mix cds. I will make them for any and all occasions. I once made one entitled "the best mix ever" and it seriously was. Everyone agreed.


3 Movies - either at home or at the theater. I like to cuddle if it's at home and sneak in contraband candy (and once a Qdoba burrito) if it's at the theater.


4. Make up - especially MAC. I can't get enough of it. I could wear a new eyeshadow every day for at least a couple months and never wear duplicates.


5. Matrix hair products- Especially the Biolage Hydratherapie line. It smells so good!


6. Magenta - or any color pink for that matter


7. Mittens- They are cute. Enough said


8. Making things - I like to think I'm crafty. However, the things I make always turn out diffrerently than I want them too. This would be the main reason why I shop Etsy.


9. Museums - Yeah, I'm a nerd. Some of my favorites include: Anne Hathaway's cottage (The one who married Shakespeare, not actress), well, everything in that town (Stratford Upon Avon), Tower of London, etc. Pretty much every museum I visited in England. Oh, and I like the Chicago Field Museum. Don't even get me started on my love for castles...


10. Marlboro Menthol Lights



Let me just say, this was a lot harder than I thought it would be. It was fun & amusing though. Comment if you're interested in doing it and I'll assign you a letter!

<3
Rose

Bag Hag

Nic tagged us in a post about our purses. I'm going to do mine first & Jill is going to do hers tonight or tomorrow.

Here are the rules:
1. Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you can't go into your closet and pull out your favorite purse! We want to know what you carried today or the last time you left the house.
2. List how much it cost. And this is not to judge. This is for entertainment purposes only. So spill it. And if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, we’d love to hear it.
3. Tag some chicks.

Up First: Rose

(Please forgive me for my shitty camera quality. I was due for a new camera about 5 years ago!)

That beautiful thing up there is my purse. I got it in Gatlinburg at the Coach outlet on sale for $216 marked down from $498. It's not a great picture of the color, but you get the idea. It's a magenta-ish

That is the bird's eye view of the inside. Yes, it is messy. No, I can never find my phone when it rings.

So I obviously didn't line these up great, but I'm going to try and tell you what everything is:

Top Row (L-R): Nail kit in a bright pink metallic bag shaped like lips, Dooney & Bourke wallet, Coach bag used for random cards

Row 2: Smith's Rosebud Salve, MAC lip gelee in Valentine, extra set of car keys, contact case, Dr.Scholl's shoe patch things

Row 3: bobby pins and other hair accessories, paper clips, vintage bracelet

Row 4: Wound wash saline (for my tragus), bag with tampons, Marlboro Menthol Lights, 3 lighters (the last one is a sweet camo one!), vintage necklace

Bottom Row: Q-tips (again, for the tragus), Wellbutrin, Sam's heartburn medicine, lotion

Yes, there is more. I know, hard to believe:
Diary of an Unlikely Call Girl, Bag with lots o crap (see below), pen, my sweet pink ray-bans, my new Versace glasses, my work key and my cell phone.

The contents of Bag of Crap. Mostly lip stuff, but also a couple lotions, visine for contacts, tylenol & one of those things you smell when you can't breathe.

So, there you have it, the inside of Rose's purse. Lots of junk. In the past I've tried to minimize the junk, but I just can't do it. I really do need all of this shit!

WE TAG EVERYONE!!!!

Because mostly, we're nosey intrigued by what is in your bag!

About Us!

KT over at KT's Journey brought something to our attention that we feel needs to be addressed. Since we are anonymous (or secretive as she says) about who we are, that everyone has their own mental picture of us.

So we want to know:
What do you think about us?
What is your mental picture?
Is there anything you want to know about us?

LAY IT ON US! We will answer any and all questions thrown our way! (Obviously, we don't care if it is appropriate or not... that's what makes us so delightful!)

Just in case you're curious: The name "Delightfully Inappropriate" just came to Rose one day. And while trying to figure out the name we would use for ourselves, we came across these commercials and it was love at first sight:

25 things

I've been tagged in the 25 things about you note on facebook approximately 1 billion times. I've decided that most of my facebook friends already know plenty about me, so I figured I'd give our readers a little insight to me :) Sorry it's so wordy!

1. I think I could make a profession out of naming things. I name everything from electronics to animals. As a matter of fact, I can't remember the last time someone I know ended up with an animal and didn't use one of my name suggestions. I even named Jill's cat from just seeing pictures alone!

2. I live with my parents. Yes, I know. Don't judge me. We live in a 200 year old house that has always been in the family, which is why I think I love it so much. I have my own staircase and my own wing of the house and I don't see my parents unless I want too. It's a pretty sweet set up, just ask Jill, she lived with me one summer! However, one of my goals is to move out in 2009!

3. I also live on a 300+ acre farm. I'll own part of the land later in life but not the house (my little brother gets that) but I do plan on building my home on the land. I've moved away for college, but always come back. I can't imagine not living on my farm.

4. Speaking of farms, I had a pet cow. His mom didn't want him so I raised him on a bottle. He lived in a dog kennel when he was a baby so I could find him easily. Then we moved him with the herd. No matter where he was, when I yelled his name he would come running. I was his Mommy. We sold him in December because he was a steer and couldn't produce. We were low on hay for the winter and couldn't feed him while there were Momma and baby cows that needed the food. I like to think that he is on a warm and friendly farm now eating all he wants. It still chokes me up.

5. My eyes are blue on the outside of the iris, green in the middle and yellow around the pupil

6. I stopped drinking soft drinks in 2006. Now when I drink one it hurts my chest.

7. I lost my virginity to Sam when I was 21. I was a late bloomer but wanted to wait until I truly loved the person. I waited approximately a week and a half. HAHA

8. Sam and I were close friends in grades 9 and 12. After high school we didn't talk until I saw him in a chance meeting summer of 2007. I got drunk and kissed him (honestly thinking it would be a one night thing). Then he called me the next morning and asked me out on a date. I had to ask Jill if I should do it and she was all "Why the hell not?" I'm glad she made me go out with him!

9. I am obsessed with MAC cosmetics and probably have at least $3,000 worth total. (I've been buying it since 2003 so it's been spread out over time!)

10. I break phones like it is my job

11. Kudzu, that ivy that takes over everything makes me sick to my stomach and hyperventilate. I just can't look at it. It skeeves me out.

12. I am a total bookworm. I have tons and tons of books and stash them everywhere. English was my college minor because I knew it wouldn't come in handy as a major

13. This is sad but true: I just realized what it means when people say "Your cervix is dilating" approximately a month ago while watching Knocked Up. I thought it was the outside that went to 10. When I told Sam what I finally figured out he looked at me like I was an idiot and said he's known since 7th grade. My mom just shook her head and said "Obviously your Mom did a horrible job at teaching sex ed to her daughter."

14. I speak my mind and rarely censor what I say. This gets me into a lot of trouble. I call it "Verbal Vomit"

15. I don't have a whisper.

16. I have Otosclerosis which means the bones in my ear are fused together. I often hear what sounds like the snow on TV (You know, when you're not on an actual channel). I have a hard time hearing because of it which is why I think I don't have a whisper and am very loud. I can't hear when people do whisper, so I've learned to read lips.

17. I could sit outside and look for constellations all night.

18. When I get overly tired or stressed my throat starts to hurt. It normally ends in strep. I got so sick my senior year of college that I ended up with pneumonia

19. I'm obsessed with cameos and all things vintage

20. I knew how to read by the time I was 2. I taught myself and my mom is still not sure how it happened. She came in the kitchen one morning and I was reading the newspaper with my dad and started reading the stocks to her. She thought my Dad may have read them out loud to me, but he said he didn't

21. When I was in first grade, I was so far above their reading level (I was on an either a 9th or 11th grade reading level already) that they would send me up to read with the fifth graders

22. Due to scheduling errors, in 11th grade 5 of us were put in the slow English class. I couldn't change my schedule to get out of the class so I just did my own thing. When it was time to read To Kill a Mockingbird, the class listened to it on tape. I was finished with the whole book by the time the tape finished the second chapter. I read quick and paragraphs at a time. Needless to say, everything I learned in that English class, I learned on my own.

23. I'm allergic to yeast. I was on a special diet my junior year of college and I dropped about 30 pounds in a month. Ironically, bread is my favorite food.

24. I've never met an alcoholic drink that I don't like. There are things I don't like now due to horrible experiences with it (Whiskey & tequila are great examples of this)

25. I love my Marlboro menthol lights. Again, don't judge

so I guess this is growing up....

I think the Ataris said it best... "Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up, these are the best days of our lives."

I'll be the first to admit that I had a hard time growing up. By growing up, I mean not being in college and having a 9-5(or in my case 8:30-5:30). I didn't want to graduate college. I broke down and cried about it. I tried to postpone it. I knew the end was coming and I wasn't at all prepared.

"You'll love being a grown up. Won't you be excited to have money after you graduate? You can buy the nice things you've always wanted" Every adult in my life said. "I'm so envious, you're going to be at the peak of your life!" said others. Then there were the "I wish I could be in your shoes and do it all again!" idiots.

I've technically been a "grown up" since May 2007. However, I didn't get my first "real job" (I don't consider working at a bar my first adult job) until October that year. So in my opinion, I've only been an adult 14 months.

I feel like all of the adults before me pulled the wool over my eyes. They flat out lied to my face. So I've decided to compile a list of reasons why being an adult blows:

1. The money everyone talks about? Still waiting for it. I knew that some money would be taken away for taxes, but I didn't expect it to be THAT much. Had I known I would be taxed so high I would have asked for more money.

2. Those nice things? They're few and far between. See 1 for further clarification.

3. The problems are so much bigger. It's no longer "Oh shit, I don't have an outfit to wear out tonight" it's more "Oh shit, I don't have enough money to eat!"

4. Working every day sucks. I want a snow day. One I don't have to make up. And one that I get paid for.

5. It's flat out depressing when I think that I'll be working 5 days a week (at least) for approximately the next 40 years. Unless I get lucky and win the lottery. Again, see number 1 because I can't even afford the effing ticket.

6. I have to dress up. By dressing up every day, it sucked the fun right out of it. I used to love it. Now I have no desire to ever see a skirt or dress pants again. And screw heels.

7. I have to go to bed early unless I want to drag at work and be a total bitch. I miss staying up until 4am. If I do this now then my schedule is off for at least a week.

8. I'm still waiting on that amazing apartment and loving my job part.

The only things I do have: A great relationship, satisfying sex and wonderful friends. So I guess although I don't have everything, I do have the things that matter.

Did people do this to you too?

<3,
Rose

All I wanted to do was get FUF'ed!

After Rose and I graduated from college I pretty much lived at her parents' house. I was there everyday, and spent the night most nights...I even had a blow up mattress on Rose's floor. Anyway, one night after a long day of doing something we decided it would be a genius idea to drink heavily. A trip to the local liquor store was in order.

For some reason whenever I enter that particular liquor store, my beverage of choice usually ends up being whiskey. I walked out of the liquor store with my fifth of whiskey, Rose had enough beer for 6 people.

To get the party started Jay (Rose's brother-in-law) decided that we should play a game of Kings. I hadn't played that drinking game in a while, so I agreed...soon everyone was in. Three games later and all of us were schnockered.

Sam was so drunk he was smoking cigarettes (which he only does if he is obliterated). B (Rose's sister, Jay's wife) became the funniest person ever and the rest of the crew were just trying to figure out all the damn rules for Kings.

We took a short break for shots of whiskey...Or I took a short break for shots of whiskey. And of course being the kind person I am, I wanted other people to take some shots with me. So, Sam and T (Rose's younger brother) come over. They each had two shots, but it may as well had been 10 because they hated the taste so much!

We resumed our game and were having a great time. During the game, B said something which made Sam bust out into laughter, he spit beer everywhere. Then he ran out the door. We (being trashed) thought maybe he was just pissed that he spit beer everywhere and that alcohol had been wasted. Though, when Rose went to check on him...she quickly found out that he had puked all over the place! He came back in blaming me, saying that it was the whiskey that made him puke. Whatever...

T walked into the main house, stood there for a minute then looked at Rose and said "Open the door." She just kind of looked at him with a blank stare. Next thing we knew he was flying out the door trying to project his vomit over the railing. Yuck.

This is where things begin to get really interesting. The drinking part of the night was over...on to more important things...like sex.

Being the perennially single girl, my friends are always trying to hook me up with someone. Rose had Sam, and B had Jay... All I wanted was some lovin'.

Rose and Sam decide that it is a good idea that me and T (Rose's younger brother who had just turned 18...I was 22 at the time) needed to do the hibbity dibbity. I think this was just so they could have some "alone time"...if you know what I mean. Sam plants the idea into T's head. He goes for it!

I must digress for a minute...Rose if you are reading this I apologize in advance...ROSE'S BROTHER IS F'N HOTT!! Like there has never been a girl that I know of who has thought anything different.

So T comes into the room I was sleeping, he lays on the floor for a bit...then talks me into coming to his room. Anyway, the activities begin...soon we hear a voice downstairs. "T, what the fuck are you doing walking around at this time of night? You're shaking the whole damn house!" You see, his bed creaked too much so we moved to the floor (he had rug-burn for weeks). This turned out to be a horrible idea because Rose's parents room was below T's room. We had woken up the parents!!

That's where things get fuzzy. I remember scrambling to find my clothes, sneaking back into Rose's room, then somehow I ended up in another bed with T again!

I'll spare you of the graphic details, but let's just say we finished the deed...and it was good, or at least I enjoyed it.

And that is the story of how I ended up sleeping with Rose's younger brother, who was barely legal and rather attractive.
