Parents

[bertine]

I am so hungry lately. Last night I went to my parents house after the gym and ate until I was sick to my stomach. My mom laughed at me (she is so mean).

Since I am going steady with a boy (at least according to facebook), I decided to tell my parents about him. My mom asked "What's his name?", "Is he a nerd?"*, "He lives here in Minneapolis, right?". My dad asked "Does he know how to install a hardwood floor and is he free on Saturday?". My parents crack me up.

Ok, time for my next meeting.

if your dad is ever looking for a house to work on, you send him my way.

LOL. He has three children with houses. His next vacation plan is to go to Joplin to visit my sister and redo her closets. Ha!

wait. what? I am the walrus? going steady? I am missing some posts, Bertine.

[posthaste.livejournal.com]

she's not giving up the facts easily.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I like being mysterious.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

This is pretty much the only post about it.

My facebook status changed on Monday, which was after they stopping announcing it to all your friends. Anyways, it is pretty cool, I like him a lot.

Damn that Facebook! WHY doesn't it show status changes to everyone anymore?

Anyway: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

I know! I was all nervous about changing my status because then it would be so public but decided it was ok and then I realized FB doesn't tell anyone!

Your dad sounds awesome! LOL!

I love my dad. He also made fun of me for calling it "going steady".

[lisianthia.livejournal.com]

"Going steady" You are too cute!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

That is what it is! :P

What else do you call it? Maybe I'm old fashioned too.

I like how relationshipnal status is determined by facebook. I'd say that we're truly living in The Future, but I'm still waiting around for the flying cars they promised us.

Also, doesn't eating until you're sick kind of defeat the going to the gym beforehand thing?

Have you seen my favorite t-shirt? (I need to buy more t-shirts)


Well... that might have been part of the problem, I should eat right after working out. Plus I ate a lot of celery.

[styletax.livejournal.com]

Man, I love that shirt.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Me too. I wore it with my Evil Bertine costume.

[smlarl.livejournal.com]

I like that T-Shirt. I also remember when I was in middle school seeing ads in all my teeny magazines saying that by the time I was old enough for college there would be a campus on Mars. What ever happened to that?

but I'm still waiting around for the flying cars they promised us.

It's your lucky day.

[luno.livejournal.com]

Ahh, Dad. Ever the pragmatist.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Yup, he is pretty awesome that way.

[inkedmama.livejournal.com]

your parents are awesome, and i want all the answers to those questions too.. well, except the hardwood floor part, but definitely the rest!

yay, bertine!!! :)

<3

LOL. I am being coy with this online. It is sort of fun and it was pointed out to me tonight how coy I have been. :)

Going steady... christ, I have "Bye Bye Birdie" in my head now.

If that's what your mother calls programmers, I wonder what she'd refer to me as. I am root. Mere programmers fear and worship me. (In my deranged mind, anyway.)

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Hey, sometimes it is nice to be old fashioned.

My mom has no idea what a root is. :P
