"What was I saying? Oh yeah, that I'm a terrible person."

Last night I got a call from Brooke (a roommate while I was up at the Y), recounting the hilarious details of her date with the Celine Dion-listening, MoTab-loving, heavily tattooed--sleeves and all--Mormon truck driver. I was preparing my Sunday School lesson when she called, so the blue piece of paper that held my notes for the lesson turned into the blue piece of paper that held Brooke's awesome one liners. Here are some classics:

What was I saying? Oh yeah, that I'm a terrible person.

I'm trying REALLY hard to not be a snob.

I was so happy he swore.

I was laughing so hard . . . like, in my head. Then I couldn't hold it in, so I just started laughing really loud.
(upon seeing her date's Celine Dion and MoTab CDs)

That was kinda bratty, but . . . also my true feelings.

These stories will never die; I will be able to tell them forever.

I think I came off as a really nice person.

And my personal favorite, from an email before said date:
is it wrong that i secretly want to make out with him just so i can say i've made out with a tattooed truck driver? it could be an ice breaker at mormon parties "hi, i'm brooke. i work with crack whores in the ghetto and enjoy making out with tattooed truck drivers!"
(used without asking for permission, so Brooke can hunt me down if she hates it . . . hey, trip to CA for Brooke!)

it was the best date i've ever been on. hands down.

also, i just want to say that i DIDN'T make out with him. b/c then i would have been a truly terrible person instead of just a terrible one.

You take really good notes and your taste in friends is impeccable.

Question: is it wrong to lure your mortal enemy to add you on facebook so you can tell them off?
