Jason says "read this blog!"
Just when I'm about to sign the DNR papers for this blog something comes along and inspires me to write another post. One of these days Jason Segel will come to his senses and beg me to befriend him. I just hope he isn't waiting to see the 365th reason. It may take years.



365 Reasons Why...An Explanation

Well, hello there (said in a very sexy voice). You're looking quite lovely today. Welcome to my blog. Feel free to take off your shoes and get comfortable, maybe leave a comment or two. This started out as kind of a funny thing to do after I blew a phone conversation with Jason, but I've found I really enjoy writing every day and researching new and interesting things about my future BFF. In January I met Jason at a comedy club and the few words we shared only reinforced my belief that he and I would get along famously. As a dear friend of mine recently said, "why wouldn't he want to be friends with you - you're awesome!" Perhaps the 365 reasons in this blog may just convince Jason of what I already know to be true: separately, our awesomeness is great; combined, it may be enough to take over the world.

Reason 182

Sneeze etiquette. My parents must have instilled the importance of good manners in me from an early age because whenever I hear someone sneeze I feel compelled to bless them (despite my atheistic leanings). The other day my dog emitted a small "achoo," or whatever onomatopoeic device our furry friends identify with, and I actually said "bless you" in reply. Over the years I have tested out different responses to people expelling foreign particles from their nasal cavities - salud, gesundheit, an empathetic look, even the word "snickerdoodle" for a time in high school - but none of them had the simplicity and comfort of "bless you." I completely identify with Bridget Fonda's character in Singles who only requires one thing from her boyfriend - a polite response when she sneezes. In my book, impeccable manners never go out of style. Jason, you can count on me to bless you five ways to Sunday when you experience an involuntary reflexive reaction to something weird being in your nose. I may even take a cue from Seinfeld and exclaim "you are sooo good lookin'" instead of boring you with a traditional reply. Afterall, it doesn't hurt to build up someone's self-esteem after they've publicly contorted their face and sprayed bodily fluids over every surface within five feet of them.
