Valentine’s Day is coming up, what is everyone doing?
What are you ladies getting the men in your life?
I’m always at a loss, JR is no help because each time I ask for suggestions he says Valentine’s is for women and not to get him anything.
He goes all out for me and I end up getting him something lame, not as lame as a compilation of love songs CD(which crossed my mind last night) but lame none the less.
That reminds of something I keep forgetting to blog about, we’ve all had those moments where we’ve been faced with an uncomfortable situation, I had a few of those when dating a guy who took the cake in cornyness...I say CORNY Misty! (she of the dirtiest mind)
Anyway, we dated for a while my Junior. year right before he went off to Army boot camp, he was 21 or so.
Before he left he “wrote” me a song and sang it to me one night at his house, in front of his family...awkward!
I still cringe. Cringing right now.
It was actually the song “Amanda” but he changed the name to mine, clever huh? OMG.
On my birthday he gave me a card which I opened outside and when I did the wind blew his gift out, the gift? a $10 bill.
I know y’all are all SO jealous!
I had no idea what to do, do I chase the bill like an idiot? do I let him go after it? what do I say???
The whole time I’m thinking he gave me cash????
Thankfully he ran and dove for it before I was able to process it all, but man that was uncomfortable for a minute.
He finally left for boot camp and the letters started coming.
I would get 3-4 a week, a couple of times...I can’t believe I’m telling y’all this...he actually smeared his sweat on the paper to show me how hard they worked him!
He would make me tapes of him singing along to songs on the radio and send me the pictures of him doing this while looking at my pictures!
I know!!!!!
Also, he would sign every letter “Rock Steady” and draw a guitar and a set of drum sticks.
I broke up with him, yes I know can you believe it?? but he did not take it well, he began writing to my mom instead and he still signed off the same way...crazy nut!
Okay, I spilled my guts now it’s your turn to share an embarrassing love story!
And don’t forget to ROCK STEADY.
OMFG!!! I had a guy that was a “friend” so I thought pull the car over (we were driving to a party), pull roses out from the back seat, turn on a CD and start singing to me in the car. It took everything in me to not lose my shit. AWKWARD.
I dated a guy in school that bought me a ceramic bear from the dollar store that was holding a flag that said “I WUV YOU” - I had paid $50 for a hooded sweatshirt from the local surf shop for his Christmas present, so I broke up with him so I could keep the sweatshirt.
BUT THE BEST… was the guy that I started dating in the winter when he wore jeans, and surf sweatshirts… then on the 1st warm day of spring, my gf’s and I were walking down the hall and here he comes walking towards us wearing… get ready for it… a purple and blue hypercolor (the shirts that changed colors when you touched them) Mickey Mouse shirt, bright red shorty O.P. shorts, some big ole’ moon boot basketball shoes, with little tennis socks. I DOVE into the bathroom and was seriously crying to my gf’s. He looked f*cking ridiculous. I picked a fight that night and broke up with him. And yes, I was that shallow.
