And the Number One Reason For Engagement Is...

So last Thursday at Monterrey's in Clemson, Jake was talking to Jen and me, and we were talking about my new school and how I like it, etc. It comes up that there are two teachers younger than I am this year, since I'm a second year now, and they are first years. Anyway, Jake asked if they were single. I said, "No. Amanda's got a boyfriend. Bailey does, too. Well, actually, I think Bailey's about to break up with her boyfriend." At this point, Jake nudges me with his elbow and a raised-eyebrowed "you gonna hook me up?" look on his face. Knowing that Bailey is VERY conservative, I would not have automatically thought of her as a potential set-up for Jake, so I said something along the lines of "I don't thinks she's really your type. She's a Jesus freak." (BTW, I heart Jesus freaks just as much as non-Jesus freaks, and it is Bailey that calls herself a Jesus freak. I, in no way, meant it to be taken offensively.) Jake just shrugged and said "so what?" I said, "She's a virgin." So, Jake goes, (GET THIS)........."I'll buy a ring."

When his words hit, it threw me off guard, but then we started laughing; I hardly new what to say. So then he increased the humor and said "I'm desperate!" Well, Jen and I were ROLLING. And to show how pathetic I am, I said immediately after that, "I'm totally blogging that." Jen proceeded to roll her eyes and put her face down in her hand while shaking her head and saying, "Oh my God."

But anyway, the moral of the story is twofold:
1) Jake needs to get laid. (So help him out if you know any single girls!)
2) Blogging is an addiction.

On an entirely unrelated note:
Kevin IMed me today just to say Hey! He gets 10 YouRockMyFaceOff points!! Yay, Kevin!!

By the way, if you haven't read my AIM profile (and I'm assuming you did if you're here, because the link to my blog is on the profile), then here are the rules and regs...

The Official Rules and Regulations of Libby's "YouRockMyFaceOff" Points Challenge:

You earn YouRockMyFaceOff Points by:
1) Answering challenge questions correctly.
2) Doing something really cool or funny that warrants the presentation of points.
3) Doing something that I'm secretly looking out for (similar to saying Pee Wee Herman's secret word).

First person to receive 100 YRMFO Points gets something really cool that you don't even know about. :-D

I'll also give bonus points for being the first to answer certain challenge questions. Or, maybe the point allocation will be totally random. I guess you'll never know unless you try!

Here are the current standings:

1--Lisa +15
2--Terence +10
3--Lindsey Z. +10
4--Adam +10
5--Shay +10
6--Sherwin +10
7--Brittany +10
8--Kevin +10
9--Dawn +10

Keep up the good work!!

Mandy and I should get points for being the only people with pictures. I should also be awarded more points for proper spelling and grammar. As an educator I know would appreciate that.

You can't beg for points, Terence. If you give suggestions, they won't be taken!

And Meredith, you ROCK my face off for leaving a comment!! :-D You are awarded 5 points for your IM earlier, and 10 for the comment!! That brings your total to 15! You're tied for second with Lisa!! Woo-Hoo!!!

Actually it was more a tongue-in-cheek reference to how you could never get your blogger picture to work and how my grammar is usually atrocious. I'm excellent on my spelling tho ;-)
