Why Ex's Can Be Useful...Perhaps.

Ex: I don't know why you let him upset you. I warned you.
Me: I was upset for like 35 minutes. Now I'm like, good god, what was I thinking?
Ex: Not too observant on this one K. He FLAT OUT mentioned he was a d'bag...AND YOU STUCK AROUND?
Me: You're never going to let me forget this are you?
Ex: Probably not. This might be a hall of shame dating story; might even top the manorexic.
Me: HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA. I love my life.

Me: The denim Chip & Peppers? Yeah they give me curves and a booty.

Friends-Leave The Job Search To Me....

Friend: We need an assistant cheerleading coach at [redacted] High.
Me: *blink* Riiiiight. My middle name is practically "I Don't Do Peppy"...not to mention I was a total nerd in HS and have an extreme aversion to those *types* of girls.
Friend: Oh come on. The girls would LOVE YOU. You're so fun. It's work; you'd at least get some hours.
Me: No.
Friend: Why not?
Me: Because I also, under no circumstance in life, do jazz hands. I also do not like to project my voice with enthusiasm nor kick my legs open into the air.
Friend: I'm telling you, they'd love you. Think about it.
*2 second pause*
Me: No.

Uncomfortable Confessions.

Mom: Are you enjoying your candy corn?
Me: I don't know how to say this....but I don't actually like it. Yet you buy me a huge bag each start of Fall.
Mom: WHAT. You LOVE CANDY CORN.
Me: No. I truly don't.
Mom: I can't believe this. What else don't you like?
Me: [Well since you asked lady...] Peeps.
Mom: YOU LOVE PEEPS. I can't even believe you right now.
Me: No really. Last Easter, before I left to go back to NY, I hid the Peeps from my Easter basket in your pantry so I wouldn't have to take them with me.
Mom: So why have you lied? Why not just tell me?
Me: *meekly* I'm telling you now....
Mom: What else do you not like?
Me: Samoa Girl Scout Cookies. You always buy them for me and...I hate them.
Mom: *almost drives off the road*
Mom: I am never buying you anything ever again.
