Ashley: So, you're taking Friday off to watch the spelling bee?
Me: The semi-finals, yup.
Ashley: You are so such a geek.
Me: The spelling bee kicks ass and everyone knows it. All non-believers will be swayed.
Ashley: Dork.
Scott: I don't know how I feel about carrying this mattress.
Me: Nobody does.
Me: Why are you sitting on the floor?
Julie: I don't trust those couches.
Me: Why not?
Julie: You own them.
Me: That was point mother-grabbing blank right there.
Scott: Where'd Aaron go?
Me: I don't know.
Scott: He didn't say goodbye?
Me: I'm not sure.
Scott: Well, it is a moving day. He probably just didn't want to help.
Me: Nobody does.
Scott: Where's Babyface?
Me: Probably still sleeping.
Scott: He said he'd help move.
Me: If there's one thing that losing my car has taught me, it's that people are not above breaking plans based solely on how they feel at the time. I mean, what am I gonna do about it? Not walk him to work?
Scott: Yeah, come to think of it, what the hell am I doing here?
Ashley: I think it's funny that you got all "oh I love you" with a chick after like, three months. Didn't you used to have balls?
Me: Ouch.
Ashley: I mean seriously, what the hell happened to you that you would let something like this breakup bring you down? The Nate I knew was far too arrogant to value the opinions of others. What happened?
Me: I was trying to improve, you know get more sensitive and caring and all that.
Ashley: What a bunch of bullshit. That's not improving. That's living a lie.
Me: Hmmm.
Ashley: If you want to improve, go to night school or get a second job or just keep working out. Living a lie won't help anyone. The idea, you dumbass, is to find someone who actually likes who you are.
Me: That may be difficult.
Ashley: For you it's probably impossible, but even that's better than faking it.
Me: Good point.

Ashley is a smart girl.
the best part of the spelling bee is when the kids get flustered and freak out/pass out. it sounds funnier in my head, i guess.
Ashley needs a perch upon a mountain top with a little sign pointing to her saying "Guru" or "Sage".
I always feel good about carrying mattresses. Even though they may be heavy, you know there's no consequence to dropping it, and you don't have to worry about hitting your shins on it or whatever.
What I'm saying is, I could have carried it with WAY more enthusiasm than Scott.
The Spelling Bee was ruined forever for me by that creepy little girl( If you have watched them for any length of time I am sure you know which one I type of) oh so many years ago.
I kept waiting for a judge to chunk a chair at that little cunt.
I loved that creepy little girl. She was one of the three finalists who got the name of the street I was living on at the time wrong.
Three things:
What did Julie think you'd done to the couches?
What kind of car did you "lose"?
And how did you "lose" the car?
Chance - though I don't know what sort of car it was, I'm pretty sure it got impounded. Maybe for DUI? Nate's sure as hell not saying.
Chance - Kevin didn't answer your first question, so I will. It's Nate...use your imagination.
