I was telling a friend about the awful IM conversation I had yesterday, and I came up with a brilliant idea for AOL. “AIM should add to its muti-media functions with one of those boxing glove things that come out of the monitor and hits the other person on the head.” I thought it was a great idea and I should patent it right away. After all, I AM close friends with a patent attorney who has been MIA for the entire weekend. *nudge nudge* My friend said, “I think that that would be highly hazardous to men’s health.” Especially men who talk to me. The vision of lawsuits made me tuck that idea away for now.

In another conversation, we were talking about drama queen women who seem to only fall for men who are impossible to get. You know, where she’s out in search of the fairy tale where she has to surpass obstacles and puzzles to win the happy ending against all odds.
“Look, I’ve built a boat out of leaves and sailed thru alligator lake and tricked the evil dragon into eating the enchanted berry so that while it slept I could search thru the cursed castle to find the magical harp so that I could bring it back to you and sing you a song with it to break the curse of blindness that an evil enchantress had cast upon you years ago! How could you not love me?”

Well, it was funny to me. How come no one else is laughing? No one gets me. *sigh*
