So right now I'm having the best time in chat - I find it weird how EVERYONE says I've got a New Yorker accent and constantly asks me to say words like "Long Island", "ass", and "Boston". In the past hour alone I've been told I sound like Lisa Lampanelli and the wife from Goodfellas. o__O

My ex is sitting right by me and is annoyed as hell hearing ppl say we sound like a rush hour crowd at a downtown subway station cuz of the state we live in. And as an avid reader and great public speaker too, I personally don't see the difference myself.

But perhaps it's not so much in the tone of voice as the fact I so freely speak about all kinds of things. I managed to crack everyone up with our escapade at the movies earlier this evening. We saw Ted, or as I like to call it, "the Bear Movie" lol. Figuring it was just a stupid stoner movie featuring a talking bear, neither of us expected much. But it was fucking hilarious, cute, and original at the same time! The film actually made me lol and cry at one point.

Unfortunately, that wasn't exactly the highlight of our experience... about halfway through the film I started getting periodic whiffs of something horrible and when getting up at the end of the movie, I had to ask Mike (ex) if he took a damn shower today.

Driving back to my apartment, I just came out and told him it smelled like a 3-day-old maxi pad while sitting in the theater. He burst out laughing, claiming he smelled it too, and it was probably the older woman sitting behind me with her legs spread o__O.

Forget that I remember hearing her laugh and told him she sounded a few decades too old for pre-menopause, but we joked about it the whole way back - and of course I had to rehash the incident to fuzzy, gums, FB, and others a bit later. During the whole thing they could hear Mike laughing; according to him some other ppl around us complained about the stank ass smell too.

It's great it turned out not to be the guy crashing on my flowery-smelling futon all night, but it stood as a lesson to ensure you remember to sit at least a row away from old people at the movies. Not even a bear show can completely block that shit out.
