A Proposal (not of the marriage variety) and A Video Critique

By: Kelly

I could never top Monica in her last "tribute" post, so I won't bother except to say that I am terrified of going to college without her and am SO HAPPY we have facebook, email, AIM, and of course, this blog. I was thinking about it today, and I actually propose that we branch out with it because sometimes you feel a little less like this* and a little more like this.

When you're depressed or worried or annoyed, it's hard to give advice or write in an entertaining/comical manner. But sometimes you want to write anyway, just about what you're going through because it's a form of cathargy (This is a word Monica invented accidentally that is a combination of catharsis and lethargy that I am now doing my best to use at every opportunity because it is awesome). Anyway, since Monica and I are going to be five hours away from each other and probably won't see one another in person until Thanksgiving, I know we're going to be communicating A LOT online. Even now when we can see each other whenever we want, we generally exchange at least 10 messages a day minimum. So rather than type all of our entire stories or rants on facebook or email, I propose we write some of them on here as well. I haven't run this by her yet, so we'll see what she thinks. We can still offer insight on relationships when we feel like it, but it'll allow us to talk about whatever we want to. Plus it's not like anyone reads this anyway, so it's really no different than using facebook or whatever when it comes to privacy. We can be like the blogfriends (really bad knock off of the vlogbrothers). So Monica, yay or nay?

*I was going to go ahead and write a post about my feelings about college and growing up, but after seeing this "Secret Flirting Tips" video I have no choice but to list all of the things going through my head upon viewing.

0:09: My finger was hovering over the track pad about to click on another video. I was trying to find one of some cheesy, peppy lady giving relationship advice but once I saw the horrible graphics/music of this one, 3:42 was beginning to feel like 3 hours and 42 minutes.
0:10: "OH CRAP she looks like a combination of Meg Cabot (I'm sorry Meg Cabot), my freshman Spanish teacher if she went on weight watchers and lost 80 pounds, and my ancient English teacher from junior year. Also, is that a DOG?
0:35: Really? This is what doctors do? Remind me to NEVER major in psychology.
0:50: "Love in 90 Days? That's the title? Why would you ever use a time bracket for something as slippery and unpredictable as love? BS.
1:16: GOOD LORD this is getting awkward. Who DOES that? You can massage your bf/gf or your husband/wife but that isn't FLIRTING. If you barely know the person, it's more like molestation.
1:36: Oxytocin, eh? Big word. now I believe you are a doctor....
2:02: What are you laughing at, your horrible advice?
2:22: At this point I glanced at how many views the video had. OVER 200,000. WTF.
2:39: Anyone who uses this technique deserves to be drop kicked in the face.
3:05: ALL THIS LADY IS DOING IS TREATING HER DOG LIKE A DOG. MADSTER? WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH FLIRTING? *calms self* Moving on.
3:07: See, the dog yawned. She was probably widening her mouth to see if it were conceivable to fit this lady's entire head in her mouth to get her to shut up.
3:30: "I know it's scary and I know it's hard" That's what he said.
3:33: "But you can try it out and see what happens" ...that's what he said cont'd.
3:37: "And you will be very very pleasantly surprised." Wow. It's like she knows my perverted mind.

Follow this advice, and maybe you'll end up like her! Making videos...with your pet...
