I have a lot of friends and sometimes they say the funniest things – I’m working on getting him to open a Twitter account so he can share these bits with the world but alas Jeremiah says that takes too many filters (whatever that means)
Here he is for today:

I guess society isn’t all bad. Some of the shouting I quite like. I could do without the crazy people though. Or maybe I only like my kind of crazy.

I have always had trouble remembering names and dates. Mnemonics usually don’t work for me. It turns out that I have a strong tendency to remember all things that I can relate to food – things I have eaten, the places I have eaten them, the people I was with, and much of the conversation made while eating. It’s the times when food is not involved that I run into trouble. So I think that food may be a good mnemonic for me. It probably won’t help me remember a new acquaintance’s name, but at least I’ll be thinking of pie.
Happy Thursday
This has plagued my brain all day..
Of all the things I thought would bring my sister and I closer together – I never thought FarmVille would be one of them.
For a few years I’ve bugged my sister Melissa to join Facebook. We have family and friends including friends from high school who are very active in it and many times I’d been asked – “How’s Melissa?”. She insisted it wasn’t her “thing” and that she probably wouldn’t really get into it. Eventually she gave in and got an account and soon she was adding friends and commenting on status messages – and playing FarmVille.
About month ago she called me and asked me if I play FarmVille and then boasted about her score and being the competitive girl I am – I couldn’t let her beat me and so it began. Now she and I regularly call each other to discuss how our farms are doing and work on the newest strategy to complete a ‘Co-Op’ challenge.
It’s not all FarmVille though – we talk about family, the kids and what’s going on in our lives. I feel like she’s becoming more of a friend as well as being my sister and it makes me so happy. Does FarmVille drive me nuts? Yes. Is it addictive? Hell yes. Will I keep playing? As long as she is.
Lots of things running through my head and I’ll eventually let them run free here but for now here is the thing that made me laugh the most today.

I love Oddly Specific because I have yet to come across something that didn’t make me smile if not laugh aloud. Take a look at the Warnings
