So basically it's like the Lion King.

hey is that any good looking ladies out there-26

Hey ladies
I'm Dan looking for someone to huge out have some fun. I like to go out to the cubs, outdoor activities, watching movies. If it sounds like u hit me up. Pic for pic.


Dan,

I had so much hope for you. I am proud of your excellent usage of a contraction! And that is really the only thing I can say. Dan, Dan...what happened to you? Did you just type a lot of letters and let iPhone auto correct create your ad from there? I really must warn you against the dangers of depending too much on technology. Have you not seen THE MATRIX TRILOGY? Yea, me neither. But basically this lot of robots band together against humanity and create this fake world and it's actually hundreds of years in the future but everyone thinks it's the 21st century and this guy takes the blue pill and saves the world. So sort of like The Lion King but instead of it taking place deep in the heart of Africa it takes place in this weird, green binary code.

Anyway, I digress. Please proofread your crap. I mean really, your use of commas is hurting, my, brain. Comma.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sara

Wall colors that seem like a great idea...but aren't: episode 1

Me: Dad, will you teach me how to paint? I suck at it.
Dad: (looking like I asked him to kill a man) yea, you suck at it.

And then he proceeded to tell me for the 9 gazillionth time how awful it was to paint over "that blue in your old bathroom." And I nodded and let him tell me, appreciating his plight but thinking that I wasn't the one that let a 16 year old me pick paint colors and head downstairs with roller and brush to...do a sucky paint job that I thought looked, like, totally amaze!

Dad: What color are you trying to paint over?
Me: robins egg ish
Dad: (as he twitched with post traumatic stress disorder) so it's blue? You know how many coats it took to paint your old bathroom? (And then with a sigh) When?

I love my dad so much.

And I appreciate my parents allowing me to express myself by decorating my own bathroom (in all it's underwater glory) and my room (which looked like a stupid retro Easter egg). So when Jessica came to live here I let her pick her own paint color and we taped out squares (Pinterest!) and in regular teenager form the girls had a painting party. And then she started writing song lyrics on the same wall with black marker and I was initially annoyed but figured I would have to paint the wall anyway and let her write away.

And tonight, two coats in, I know that as cute and teenage girly as her room was that I will never. Ever. Do this again. Sorry future children. You'll have to ask your "auntie" Jess why you can't paint your room, like, dark purple and gold.
