J

I am so glad it is finally time for Thanksgiving break! Thankfully my arabic class got canceled and I am able to go home early, although I do have to get up early to meet with my arabic partner to work on our skit. Oh well...

So my friend J and I were talking on the phone today, and I realized we actually do have things in common! lol He has this amazing skill to annoy the shit out of me simply by being him. Hes an underpaid workaholic, complains about his job but still goes in all hours of the night. It's things like that and his ability to twist anything I say into something perverted. I'd say we're on the same level there. :) So, setting aside our pervertedness and general pleasure in annoying the other person (well actually he annoys me more than i annoy him) we discovered we have some basic things in common. We both love to read. I'm not sure why this took me by such surprise, he didn't seem to be the type in my eyes, but he most definitly is, and we share a favorite author: Steven King. If you do not know who that is, you are seriously deprived and need to get to a library ASAP. So we actually talked about books for a while and I discovered he has hundreds at his place...literally. That and an awsome knife collection (yes if I were to have a collection that would be by item of choice) so I definitly want to go over and see these things. I told him I plan on raiding his book collection when he finally decides to take enough time off work so I could come over. My roommate was in as much shock as I was after realizing that he likes to read. She's never met him or officially talked to him but he manages to annoy her when she just hears my end of the conversations. lol He's the only one I know that can talk about chess, BDSM, books, sex, work, math, and politics all in one conversation. Definitly an interesting person to talk to, he knows just the things to say to properly annoy me and finds it amusing that I get so exasperated. I tell him hes lucky I don't see him very often or I'd be smacking him around. Thats usually the time for a perverted comment.

Jess (the roomie) asks why I even bother talking to him while she watches me sit on the phone wanting to strangle him, and the truth is that I don't really know. I think it's because he never does anything to me directly, it's something that affects him and him alone, yet it's still something stupid. Such as working 16 hour days, not eating enough, and then passing out at work, only to tell me this while laughing and asking if Im amused. Things like that which are stupid but have nothing to do with me. Im always guaranteed an interesting conversation and Im seeing more and more that he is very intelligent, but not so smart. (yes there is a difference, mainly girls will understand this) He can also dish out as much shit as I can, and we can both take it. I like a guy that can keep up with my sarcasm and quick temper and I think he definitly has me beat in the sarcasm department. lol So as annoyed as I can get, I genuinely enjoy our conversations. Hes up at all hours of the morning like I am and we've has some interesting chats. He's one more wild and crazy friend of mine that I often want to smack but still love talking to.
