…who doesn’t get the obsession with Adele.
…who has had a guy ask for her email address at the club. It was awkward.
…who thinks it’s perfectly normal to tell her new neighbors that they’re “going to be like, BFFs!” That was awkward too.
…who was never a huge fan of Sex and the City, and actually found it quite depressing.
…who finds it physically impossible to read a book without underlining something on at least every page.
…who has a strange aversion to guys who drink diet soda. Or don’t eat meat.
…who – while most others seem to be going for the unique, “look how high fashion I am” look – is shamelessly bringing back the “90’s blonde bimbo.”
…who makes her best friend wait for about 10 minutes while she decides what cereal to buy. It’s not an easy decision, people.
Anyone with me on those? Anyone??
p.s. check out my post on Guest of a Guest – The Everyday Girl’s Guide To Nightlife: When Three Isn’t A Crowd.
hah, I couldn’t agree more with the sex and the city thing, I just never quite hopped on that train. buttttttt, as for the diet coke thing, my boyfriend drinks it (type 1 diabetes is to blame) and somehow he got me addicted as well. Now I can’t stand regular ‘ol coke. He’s the only male I know who drinks it though, thank God.
well that’s definitely an exception to the diet soda thing
I personally LOVE diet soda, just find it weird when guys drink it haha
I agree with you on the cereal thing- I take forever choosing what kinds I want! I always keep one sweet kind on hand, and then my “healthy” kind. My boyfriend is a vegetarian- but he was raised that way, so his not-eating-meat wasn’t a choice. He definitely doesn’t drink diet soda, haha:)I wasn’t a big fan of Sex and the City either- especially those movies. Yeesh.
i had the email address happen to me too! so weird. i was at a latin club salsa dancing, he was not exactly fluent in english, so i passed it off to cultural differences.
also, the diet soda/meat thing, i totally agree with. my friend and i had this discussion yesterday after yet another of our guy friends followed us on pinterest! me: excuse me, why are all these guys on pinterest looking at babies and weddings? where my lumberjacks at? why can a man not just be a man? her: i love lumberjacks.
so yeah. no diet soda, eat you some meat, and chop a tree once in a while. be a man.
COMPLETELY agree with the SATC - I’ve tried and just don’t get the hype. Also, underlining in books? Yes, most definitely!
I’ve never had the email thing but I did have a guy favorite my blog on his phone at a bar once. My friend introduced us with-This is Liz-she has a food blog! He legit read through it there, too. So clearly, we all should be busting out our blogs at bars. lol
hahaha I’ve had a guy read my blog at the bar too, right in front of me. It’s….an interesting experience, to say the least!
Not a fan of Adele, either. I think she is an amazing singer, but she’s just not for me!
I don’t get the obsession with Adele either. Oh well!!
Yes! I’m not the only one who doesn’t like Adele. And the cereal aisle always adds at least 20 minutes to every grocery shopping trip.
Haha I don’t really like Adele either! Ironically, my students always ask me to turn on the radio so they can listen to her
Email address at a club? WEIRD.
AGREED. guys who don’t eat meat/drink diet soda? where is your man card? and your balls?
I cannot stand Adele. Thank you, Gracie. Thank you.
Girl..you had me at hello!!
I am not a fan of Adele either..just don’t get it. I’m happy for her success, but her voice irritates me.
E-mail at the club? Awkward! LOL…must be a techy type of guy? Next Mark Zuckerburg?
I loved SATC, but it is depressing..I can see that for sure. Just NSA fun and no committment for a lot of it? No thanks..plus it makes it seem like all men are bad. Not true!
I’m a blonde and we rule..duh!
Love the cereal choice too!
Great post!!
Cereal and toothbrush choices are my biggest foes at the store…I thought it was just cause imma libra ha!
I agree with the meat thing… I like a manly man… a meat loving, regular coke drinking, no gel in my hair kind-of-guy. Rawr!
love these series Gracie.
i’m with you on some, totally not with you on others, but i get the “only girl in the world that ..” feeling a lot !
i’m with you on adele & sex and the city. i like adele’s super popular ‘rolling in the deep’, but not anything else (i know, i know). sex & the city.. yeah, i find all the women pretty irritating & i can’t identify with any of it. if i’m gonna watch a show like that, i’ll pick the over-the-top, sarcastic, so-bad-but-good gossip girl, pretty little lairs, desperate housewives etc. haha !
wow..email addy? That is odd. I had some stalker find me on facebook, through a friend, friended me and then called..no message..just out of the blue..hey, thanks for adding me…yadda yadda..whatcha doing? *he will be unfriended by the end of the week. I am too nervous of his stalker abilities.*
I am soooo with you about Adele and Sex in the City. Adele yeah she’s talented and stuff but I blame the radio stations for playing her songs non-stop for me disliking her. As for Sex in the City..I just can’t stand SJPeePee
With you on Sex in the City, somewhat on Adele, absolutely on cereal (and pretty much every other decision most people make in 3 seconds), and 100% on guys who drink diet soda/don’t eat meat (that’s OK for me-NOT for him!).
Did you watch the SATC series from the beginning? I feel like when you do, you develop a relationship with the characters and what’s really neat about it is their friendship and how regardless of life circumstances, they remain close. But I’m with you on the cereal aisle- and every other aisle at the grocery store, I like to take my time checking out all the new products!
Well, I’m shamelessly obsessed with SATC, but I definitely agree about the guys and no meat thing. I can’t date a guy who would rather have a veggie wrap than sit down to a good steak dinner! So not cute.
mark me down for one more that doesn’t like adele.
Completely agree with the one about guys who drink diet soda and don’t eat meat. Maybe it’s a stereotype, but I don’t care!
an email address!?!? Whattttttttttttt?
Like no “hi what’s your number?”
or even
“do you have a facebook?”
like come onnnnnnnnnnnnn
ew.
hope you ran fast girlfran.
hahaha! in his defense, we didn’t talk nearly long enough for me to give him my number so i appreciated the politeness on his part!
I love these posts!
I’m not a huge fan of Adele, either. I enjoyed her CD initially but now every song is sooo overplayed. I’m sick of hearing it!
And a guy asked for your email address?! hahaha. That is hilarious!
i definitely wouldn’t be good with a guy who didn’t eat meat. no way in hell can i be chomping away on a bacon burger while he’s eating a salad. especially if he’s sipping it down with a diet soda. vomit, vomit. vomit.
diet soda with men has ALWAYS been such an issue with me. glad to see i’m not the only one bothered by it.
Oh heck yeah, Koala’s are where it’s at! Leaping Lemurs are also a good buy if you haven’t tried them yet.
For the record:
I don’t like Adele either.
Email address at a club? Lame. And wierd.
I’d love to be your neighbor!
I’m not a fan of Sex and the City either. I didn’t get it. Kinda the same way I didn’t get Seinfeld.
I totally agree on the guy drinking diet soda thing.
Good luck with bringing back the 90′s blonde!
Grace face I never got into sex and the city I actually don’t think any of our group really did
