Normally I respond to all of your lovely comments with a comment of my own, but, considering the enthusiasm and volume of responses about
the girlfriend post, some thoughts:
Teej said...
I'm happy to be the first to say congrats on the official gf/bf status. Madame Capricorn is either lucky or insane :-P Now change your facebook or it isnt official remember!
She likely is insane, although, since she reads this blog now, um, she is also incredibly pretty and funny. I did change my Facebook status, Teej, and that was more nerve-wracking than actually asking Capricorn to be my girlfriend (although we did joke it should be like a "Circle Yes No or Maybe" format). Those Facebook status things are no joke. People pay more attention to them than they do the presidential campaign. If Obama changed his Occupation status to "President" on his Facebook page tomorrow, I think millions of teens would assume he won the election.
congrats on the gf!
and yes, i was one of those kids that skipped ahead to see what adventure i was choosing. no worries though, i did go back & read the whole post;-P
I did love those books. I wish my life was like a Choose Your Own Adventure. "If you want Andy to go on a kayaking adventure, go to the year 2015. If you want Andy to be completely broke, turn to this Blog Post."
Congrats on Madame Capricorn becoming the official girlfriend. :) I'm super happy for you!
What's funny is that half of the purpose of this blog was to gripe about women problems and dating failures. Now I'm screwed.
Yay for the new girlfriend! And yay for her not being your brother's girlfriend! (this time at least...)
Does Capricorn know about the blog? How about a guest post one of these days so we can get her side of the story!
For anyone who doesn't read KAT or SJ's blog, funnygals.blogspot.com, do so- they are regularly hilarious. KAT, Capricorn does know about the blog, although I'm not sure if she's up for a guest post just yet.
You know what's awkward? Telling a woman you write a blog. It's almost like a dirty little secret, like the herpes of confessions, minus the outbreaks. Like, you have to explain why you do such a thing and what you write about and how you won't embarrass her, you promise, unless she's crazy, and then you will.
gf/bf status already? nice work buddy.
also, i love gym stories. please continue grunting. that visual is awesome...
Here's my take on bf/gf status: If you quickly realize that the two of you click and things feel natural, why freaking wait around to make it official just to follow the norm? Even if it doesn't work out, at least you didn't spend precious days or weeks wondering if the other person is out on a date with someone else. You spent that time only with them and can really concentrate on them. Plus, it's easier on Facebook to say "In a relationship" than "It's complicated," which sounds more like you're having an affair with your gardener.
Congrats on the ladyfriend. That was pretty quick! Ha.
And to prove your point about the gym ... my boyfriend almost entirely ceased going to the gym shortly after we got together, and although he's trying again, with nobody to impress - 'cause let's face it, he already has me, ha - I wonder how long this gym stint shall last.
If you want him to continue, drop casual compliments about how his arms feel bigger or his chest looks more defined. Even if it's not completely true. Because we will always go after hearing something like that.

Lovely, congrats! That WAS quick work!
PS - Yes, I also skipped to the end but went back & read the whole thing, like libby.
Anyway, it's not like your title didn't give the game away! Unless you meant to say you were in a bicep curl now.
i don't have enough of an attention span to skip forward and then jump back, so i actually waited to the end to read the footnotes.
and congrats! i agree with my bff. let's have her do a guest post!
"Coincidentally, my brother also got a girlfriend last night, which is a very strange and cool coincidence"
what... you guys pickin' them up at the Dollar General again? What did I tell you two about that??
Can I just call you Speedy Gonzalez now? ;)
