• Quirks


    Hi, there. Adrean here again. Wow, seems like Lynn really liked Eclipse, huh? She made a quick appearance on the blog all the way from Paris yesterday, even.

    Well, today she’s traveling back to the states. Another long day at airports, on airplanes, and sitting in those tiny, little seats.

    That would freak me out.

    I have this little issue, or as my buddy Logan calls it, QUIRKS.

    Whatever.

    Anyway, I don’t do enclosed spaces very well, hence the not much traveling. Hey, I live on the first floor for a reason. No elevators.

    And don’t even try to mess with my routines, either.

    Seriously.

    I go to the same diner at the same time and eat the same meal every day.

    But you know one thing that shook me out of my quirks – okay, some people call them compulsions – a beautiful woman.

    Enter, Lexi.

    Sure, it kinda ticked me off the first time I saw her because she was sitting in the booth I prefer . . . but that anger quickly dissipated when she flashed her eye-sparkling smile at me.

    I got to know her a little, and you know what? She didn’t mind my little quirks so much. She’s even got a couple, but I won’t go into them. . . she said she was going to read this post . . .

    So, to my question to you all is,What little habits do you have?

    And since Lynn is thousands of miles up in the air and can’t read this, I’ll tell you one of hers. . . .

    She HAS to have the volume on an odd number.

    For real. It’s so weird.

    In the car, if Charlie (her husband) turns the volume up and it lands on an even number, she pushes it up or down one notch so it’s on an odd number.

    Weird, huh?

    But then again, I hear writers are weird.

    What’s my excuse then?

  • Meet-Cute


    HI. Mandy here.

    Boy, Rachel’s post from yesterday got me thinking, you know? The whole dating thing. What attracts people to each other.

    In my case, I usually repel guys. That tends to happen when you can potentially freeze their lips off if you kiss them.

    Yep. I’m lucky to have a wicked-crazy power. Freezing things I touch. Oh, and not to mention, I can lift a car over my head.

    You’d think that would leave me pretty muscular, right?

    So NOT the case. I’m impressively wimpy looking, actually. So that doesn’t help with the trying to find a boyfriend thing.

    Needless to say, I usually keep to myself. It doesn’t help much that I have these freaks from The Center trying to find me so they can dissect me to figure out why I can do what I can do.

    Enough about that.

    I thought it’d be fun to talk MOVIES today.

    It’s called the “meet-cute” when the situation/circumstances that the couple is thrown together that will span the movie.

    Like, in Twilight. The first time Bella sees Edward. It’s in the lunch room. But their meeting was at the class, right? He totally freaks on her, doesn’t say a word, but still, they meet.

    I like when they finally talk much better. His eyes are shimmering, and he’s asking her about the weather.

    Oh, and not to mention when he stops the car from slamming into her.

    But enough from me.

    What’s YOUR favorite meet-cute between some movie characters??

    OH, and I have to ask, did you go see ECLIPSE? Did it rock? Haven’t seen it yet. I know, I’m lame.
