This week I got some entertaining emails. So I present my top 2 favorites:
The first email came from Eric. Let me explain the premise. Since finishing the 7th Harry Potter book, I felt a little sad that the series was over. But Eric had heard from reliable sources that the next big thing to hit the scene is the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. What I didn't realize until I started reading was that it's basically chick lit for teens. Now, I admit I'm totally a sucker for chick lit... but as I was reading Twilight there were some parts I couldn't help but think "I can't believe Eric is reading this..." So thinking he maybe needed an out, I emailed him on Monday and said he could stop reading if he wanted to. This was his response:
From: Eric Sent: Monday, July 14, 2008 10:24 AM To: Tina Subject: RE: Check out this item on Etsy
Maybe I’ll finish this book and then see how it ends. Its about vampires, it has to get more exciting, no? We’ll see. I’m a little tired of reading about his chiseled good looks, porcelain skin, and dreamy eyes.
Eric
Think twice before you print out this e-mail. Every day the number of trees in the world diminishes.
Hahaha. It's funny because that's what a lot of the book is - talking about Edward's eyes and voice and his skin and his muscles... hahahaha. But am I right? Picturing Eric reading all this, or any guy for that matter, is just too hilarious.
The second email came from my dad this morning:
Sweetheart,
Daddy need help. What does Jacob mean by saying "I Heart prayer cacti"?
Thanks, BaBa
My dad had forwarded me an email that one of the youth advisors up in Seattle sent saying "i heart prayer cacti." This was in response to another request by one of the students asking if she could talk about her upcoming mission trip to Mexico and bring in her prayer cactus during service on Sunday. I wasn't sure which part needed explanation, so I broke it down and explained what the prayer cactus was and then I explained how "i heart" is the new "i love". After my explanation, my dad emailed back:
Sweetheart,
Thanks for your time! I know you are busy but w/o your explanation, I am totally lost! You see what I got myself into these days. I can't understand old people (try to figure out what WaiGong wants?) and can't read young people.
Love, BaBa
Hahaha... aw, I enjoy when emails make me smile. I heart my dad.
OK. Who knows when I will post next so hope you enjoyed this one... Lisa.
just when i thought relient k couldn't be more awesome...
definitely worth the trip up to seattle - where there was snow and flooding. and just a note, if you ever decide to air guitar for 2 hours straight, make sure to do some stretches beforehand otherwise you will be paying for it the next day.
and i was the last of the harry potter book club to finish the 7th book, but i finally finished it on the plane back to LA tuesday morning. that book is crazy!!! and finally i don't have to worry about someone slipping up and giving away part of the story. like the part where ron dies...
so now onto other books. anyone else want to be in the book club? there are a few options for next month's reading. i think there is a strong possibility it will be something by jane austen. :)
this post is dedicated to anarchy21 (see 8/7/07 post)*:
1. star wars episodes 1-3 should never have been made. 2. joe mama was only funny the first time. 3. are michael moore and kevin smith the same guy? i get them confused, but i don't like either one. 4. i like hanging out with people who will comment if they see an asian person on tv.* 5. it's great when underground rock artists go mainstream.* 6. there are only 4 lands in disneyland. 7. everything relates back to friends. 8. real conan fans stay up until 1:30am regardless of what time they have to get up the next day. 9. barry bonds had an unfair advantage, thus he did not really break hank aaron's record. 10. the mariners are the greatest baseball team ever.
I couldn't resist jumping on the bandwagon. I was pretty sure I would get Angela, but I'm glad I'm part Ryan. That means I'll be everyone's boss soon. Ryan started the fire!
You are part Pam. You are sweet and likable, but your shyness makes it hard for you to express yourself sometimes. Regardless, you are always there for your friends and will usually come out of your shell to help anyone.
You are part Ryan. You are extremely smart and perceptive, and it irritates you to no end when inferior people try to tell you what to do. Sometimes, though, your critical eye makes you come off as aloof and bitter to others, and it may take awhile for people to get to know you.
happy birthday to my co-worker. the office is her favorite show, so yesterday i pulled the classic stapler-in-jello trick. she laughed when she saw it.
15 minutes later i heard: "wait, that's MY stapler!" she thought i had just used some random stapler. what's the point in using a random stapler? yeah... i think payback is going to be bad... oh, well! :)
