Round One

Summary: Jendeis is an utter loser. She is aware of this fact.

Facebook pulled up high school boyfriend and asked if I wanted to Friend him. I'm not doing anything unless he tries to Friend me or slips me a note in study hall that looks like this:

Otherwise, am setting myself up for rejection and I went through that the first time around.

At least I got to see his picture. I'm pretty sure I've won this round (aka Who Has Better Hair?). Though the more I consider his hair in the picture, I can't decide whether it's improved from high school or not. Mission Impossible: must find a solo picture of myself where I (1) don't look deranged, and (2) definitely resemble attractive non-deranged movie star.*

In the absence of those pictures so far, have posted interesting pic from my wedding as was clearly last time I looked non-deranged, though was on heavy drugs at the time, so maybe drugs are the answer for my non-deranged look.

*Assuming there are any attractive non-deranged movie stars left.

Anonymous said...: Dude...the same thing happened to me on FB. I thought: no WAY am I going to send him a friend request! Agggh!

I would love to be your FB friend...and I promise not to say you look deranged or drugged in ANY of your pics. ;); January 13, 2009 at 4:40 PM
Tricia said...: LOL!! This makes me laugh. I am sure he is checking our your picture and you look awesome!! Mwah!!

Yeah, I always try to only post my best pics on facebook for the same reason. I dated a guy for 4 years in college. Then he dumped me over the phone and I never saw him again. Until St. Patrick's Day in NYC a few years ago. As fate would have it I got wasted and was looking like a hot mess. It was snowing and cold and I had on a snow outfit (kind of like the little brother in the Christmas Story or a snowman but, not in the least bit cute) and as I was leaving a bar, he was walking into it. Of all the bars in Manhattan. UGH. I looked like shit. But, his acne got really bad and my wonderful husband was with me. And he quit his high powered stockbrocker lifestyle to be a teacher. I always told him he should but, that was beneath him (rolling my eyes) SO I was totally vindicated. That is until my drunken brother dragged me out because he wanted to punch the ex. Good times!; January 13, 2009 at 4:41 PM
