I Hate to Admit it But...

I rented Phantom of the Opera over the weekend - I cried 4 times.

I thought that the "Cotton-Eyed Joe" was called the "Caught Not Joe" until last year.

For the last 3 days I have been going to Barnes and Noble to read Velocity by Dean Koontz because I don't want to pay the 27 dollars for it. I have almost finished it.

I signed up for Match.com last year and the only 3 women who "winked" at me were all over the age of 43. I was tempted to wink back.

Last night I was in the mood for Mexican Food and Chinese food - I got flautas from Panchos and chicken fried rice and went home and watched 2 back-to-back episodes of "The Bachelor - Paris". Afterwards I felt a little sick.

I have a Donald Trump doll that talks - sometimes I talk back.

That's okay. I rented Phantom of the Opera and threw up four times.

It's cool. I once read a whole novel at B&N and Borders, too. My best friend loved to go and look around for hours and I just loved to be with him, so everytime we went I read. It 3 months to finish "Choke" by Chuck Palanuik (The guy that wrote Fight Club.)

One thing I can't believe is that you don't have a girlfriend! You really need to come to Estonia, I'll get you matched up with a beautiful girl in no time. Seriously.

I haven't seen Phantom of the Opera yet. A part of me is scared to see it because I don't want to be disappointed

Jared, don't you konw that most of my readers are women? If they hear you say that they are liable to attack!

Screaming B - that is a great name.

Dawn, I do have a girlfriend! Her name is Cat.

None of this surprises me about you. (But, I mean that in a good way.)Except for the 43-year-old women thing, I am surprised by that.

Eddo,
If it makes you feel better I cry at the end of Monsters Inc. every time.

I still own the stuffed racoon I had as a kid.

I have posters from sci-fi movies hanging in my living room.

Whenever I meet a woman the main deal breaker has almost always been my height.

I didn't cry in Phantom, but I soaked two napkins in End of the Spear.
not so subliminal message: take Cat to see this movie.

I remember you telling us last weekend about the Caught Not Joe. Too funny.

Just call ME match.com. They ain't got nothin' on me.

And I am SO craving flautas and chicken fried rice now. Not too long ago I went to Wendy's and Taco Bueno because I was craving both, and they're close to each other.

I sleep with two stuffed dogs.

NOTE TO DAWN!!
Eddos girlfriend, Cat, is not eddos pet cat spike. although spike is very fun and cute, the Human Cat is much more fun to be around. Cat is a Nickname!!

9:48 AM  
Amstaff Mom said...

The Human Cat. HA HA HA. Word to the wise: The Human Cat is allergic non-human cats. Puffy eyes, bad allergies, bad news. So you'd better keep the two Cats away from each other, even though I've never seen or heard of this cat.
She wanted to be a vet when she was little, and even volunteered at an animal shelter for awhile, but stayed away from the cats.

Cody you are a RIOT! I wish you commented more, you are always so funny.

AM, I would call you Match.com but you already have too many names! i have to stop and think about what I am going to call you before I say something to you... JCol, AM, Amstaff, your real name... it can be vexing at times. :)

Amstaff Mom said...

Even I have trouble keeping up with my nicknames. Seems like everyone I know calls me something different. It's all good though. Better than sharing an oh so common name with everyone my age. *wink*

In high school I won $5 from a friend that thought the song "Wild Wild West" by Kool moe Dee was "Wa Wa Wis" True story!
$27 dollars for a book?? Wow, they should come up with a place that you can rent books for a monthly fee and they ship them to your house and you can return them whenever you want with no late fees. Like Netflicks but for books. Better yet a place you can go and check books out for free! That would be awesome!
Wa wa Wis, Wa Wa Wis....

Or you can go to a library where you can do it all for free.

10:40 AM  
Eddo said...

The problem with a library is that they don't carry the new hard back releases immediately.

I have read all the Dean Koontz books that are in paperback, but I refuse to pay 27 dollars for a hard back copy of something that I am going to read in a matter of days and then never read again. I also don't like books cluttering up my house and so I only keep classics - and I have very few of those.

10:42 AM  
Eddo said...

what if the book doesn't have any pictures?

What then?

11:02 AM  
Shot gun willy said...

I've often found myself running into this problem also...So I came up with a new way of not having to worry about it. I don't read books!! I look at pictures and try to understand what the story is saying through the pics.
therefor, I will never have that problem!!!!

I tried match.com.

I'm still single.

Enough said! =)

He he Eddo, I'm picturing your own private library next to the spaghetti sauce and green beans.

The library pantry.

Eddie-

You are such a G.I.R.L.

Phantom of the Opera and the Bachelor Paris...

Did you watch these shows with your "Donald Trump" DOLLie?

Ha! Just kidding my friend! I watch Romantic comedies with Sydney all the time... and they make me feel all tingly inside... although I don't have a doll.

mack said...

12:24 PM  
Katie said...

Logan Bennett said...

I don't have any confessions of my own, so I'm going to give you two of my husband's.

He cries at the end of City of Angels. Everytime.

He cried when the Red Sox won the world series.

He's a big baby.

Eddo said...

Ben, you are jealous of my Trump doll. It was a gift and he sits in my cube. I put him to work while I am away. Work D-Trump, Work!

I want to see Phantom of the Opera four times.

Going to Barnes and Noble to read a book...lol...too funny Eddo, but I agree that they are way too expensive.

Angelica said...

I loved Phantom of the Opera! How can you throw up? I sat enthralled the whole time! If I could I would watch it 24/7.
Caught Not Joe? I guess I could understand where you get that. When I first heard the song it took me a while to figure out what they were saying.

Live, Love, Laugh said...

Eddo, you are so funny, you know we don't believe a word of the 40 yr old women winking at you, there were probably 10,000 winking from all ages and walks of life and tell me you are kidding about reading the whole book at B&N. You made me laugh out loud on some of these!!

9:22 PM  
Saur?Kraut said...

*I* would've winked! ;o)

I cry when I hear the music, but the movie only bores me to tears. For a long time, every time I heard "All I Ask of You" I cried like a baby. It's just so gorgeous.

8:14 AM  
Eddo said...

Yes Saur! It is the music, it is so moving and so beautiful that it moves you to tears. It seems ridiculous, but there is somethig so pure about it that it makes you feel closer to God or something.

Me too. Only I was clued in by my hubby about 3 years ago. Still. Embarrassing, isn't it?
