My little blog was feeling neglected, so I thought that I would pop over and cheer it up a bit. After all, I really shouldn't be neglecting my darling Chris Pratt.

Turned 27 yesterday, which, in the days leading up to it, had me a bit freaked, what with its perceived closeness to 30 and my utter lack of a meaningful relationship and all, but the day came and went with nary a ripple. Got some nice gifts from mom and dad, including this utterly gorgeous Mary Poppins-themed snow globe which I had asked for, but had not appreciately the actual size of (it's kind of gigantic). No clue where I'm going to put it in the Disney guest room, but I lurve it nonetheless.

I'm finally getting into the Olympic spirit, and I'm totally with Jenai on wanting "ogling the US swimmers" to be a new event. I could totally medal in that! Aaron Peirsol and Lenny Krayzelburg are eminently droolworthy, and practically set the TV screen on fire when they appear in the same shot. Rawr.

I'm still trying to convince Pooh that she needs to go to Disneyland with me next month so we can attend the ABC Primetime Preview Weekend, so everyone get on her case for me, mmmkay? :-P

Even though I was just telling Ash how much I hate listening to certain people bitch about their friends, I need to bitch about my own friends a little. :P

My friends and I get together once a week, and it's almost always the same core group of people. There's one couple that used to come more regularly (or at least the husband did), but as time goes by, they seem to show up less and less frequently.

Well, last night they actually bothered to be there, and truthfully, I was less than thrilled, because the wife is a pill. I was even more irritated by what they did when they arrived. They literally came into the house, plopped down on the couch, turned on the TV, and essentially ignored everyone. The rest of us were in the kitchen, talking and getting dinner together, and they were just being completely anti-social. I was flabbergasted by their rudeness. Who does that? Seriously, it was so lame.

Plus I got annoyed because the wife was totally hogging her 7 month old nephew, which is usually my job. :) Partly it bugged me because half the time she can't be bothered by the little cutie-pie, but I also made certain...overtures during the course of the evening that I would like a turn holding the baby. We were over there three hours. Is that too much to ask?

She's such a pain in the ass, and I'm so tired of watching her in-laws--whom I'm good friends with--bend over backwards trying to make her feel welcome, and blaming the rest of us for supposedly not making enough of effort while she makes absolutely no effort at all. Needy women bug me.
