Wow has it been a crazy week! But I have survived, and in one whole piece.
I know, I know, I just put up a picture of Charlie Sheen. Harass me in person.
Anyhoo, I have been eagerly awaiting the moment when I could finally reply to my dear friend Jenna's most recent blog response. :) YAY!
For those of you who have not been keeping up with this little blog skirmish:
1) Read my previous post.
b) Follow the link to Jenna's page. http://irrationallyirked.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-am-irrationally-irked-by-inaccurate.html
III) Read her blog because it's awesome.
g) Come back to my page from hers
5) Continue reading below
For those of you who have been following, feel free to continue reading.
I quote Jenna's Response To My Response:
" 1. Duh. My list was of things I could do in a 26 hour day. Not what I would actually do. (Proven by the existence of my original #8.)
2. All I can say is that she knows me well enough to realize that I would still always be running late to Hebrew, even with two extra hours in my day.
3. Have you read my blog? I'm pretty sure there's no shame here.
4. I think she means LEARN to make a fort out of socks. Because that would really be impressive. Especially considering how few socks I have.
5. Good concession. (Ha. Concession. Like concessions. As in food. Fitting.)
6. I'll give her that one.
7. Clearly, I would do both.
8. I don't need two extra hours to go on dates with George (yes, first name basis.) We go on biweekly dates already actually.
9. THIS IS WHERE MY CAREFUL REPUDIATION OF HER LIST ENDS.
Natasha.
"IT'S JUST WRONG, STUPID AND AWKWARD NOT TO USE THE OXFORD COMMA."
THERE IS NO OXFORD COMMA IN THAT STATEMENT. SUCH PHRASING WOULD NEVER, EVER BE ON A FLAG I CREATED BECAUSE I WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND SUPPORT SAID MARK OF PUNCTUATION."

Now here is My Response to Jenna's Response to My Response:
1. Yes, it was a list of things you could actually do. You are completely correct in asserting that. I am also completely correct in asserting that it also serendipitously happens to be a list of things you also would do, if allotted the time. It's ok, boo, we're all friends here.
2. "All I can say is that she knows me well enough to realize that I would still always be running late to Hebrew, even with two extra hours in my day." Dang straight.
3. This is true--there is no shame in your blog. But even you know that some things cannot be retold with accuracy on the interwebz. "
4. "Learn" to make a fort out of socks? Por favor. False modesty does not become us, my dear. You could make a sock fort out of a single packet of socks. I know of your ways with the Force. <-- This is me calling you out.
5. See what I meant by arsenal of puns in number 11 of my previous list? Natasha wins again.
6. More points for me.
7. You would flash mob while bowling. Don't even play.
8. ...
9. SAYING THAT IT IS "JUST WRONG, STUPID AND AWKWARD NOT TO USE THE OXFORD COMMA" WITHOUT ACTUALLY USING THE OXFORD COMMA SHOWS HOW WRONG, STUPID, AND AWKWARD IT IS. *sigh* We are clearly on the same page in this regard.
Moral of the Story: To quote the adolescent we all know and love, Jenna, "Imma tell ya one time..."
But seriously. Read Jenna's blog. :)
