November 3rd, Coldstone return trip
November 3rd, 2009 | by TJ |“Someone said in my comments that you know your life would be totally boring without me.”
“Hmm.”
“I am interesting. And fun and exciting.”
“You are indeed interesting.”
“And fun.”
“Very interesting.”
“AND FUN!”
“Hey, listen, it’s that song you claim you wrote.”
“No, I didn’t write THIS song.”
“Oh, so you admit you didn’t write this one.”
“No, this is a different song. And besides, my version went a little differently.”
“So you think you DID write this song, too.”
“No. Not THIS song. My version actually went like, ‘K-K-K-Kelly* is the BEST.’”
“Oh, so that’s why you don’t get any royalties, damn Elton John tweaked it just enough to not have to pay you!”
“Yes. Exactly.”
“…”
“K-K-K-KELLY IS THE BEST!”
*guess what my name is, Internet.

What sort of parent wouldn’t name their daughter TJ? Some crazy parent’s you got there.

Don’t EVEN act like you didn’t immediately fill in your own name to try it out.

Well, somewhere in Phoenix a friend of mine went to elementary school with two daughters, siblings. Their names? TK (The Kid) and OK (Other Kid).

That song always makes me think of 27 Dresses, because of the scene where Katherine Heigl and James Marsden sing it in the bar. I go all googly over romantic comedies, and that one was no exception. Now not only will I have the song stuck in my head, I’m going to have to bring up Netflix and see if I can’t stream it on my computer. Which will earn me no end of ribbing from my husband, who barely tolerates my romantic comedy obsession as it is.
Thanks a lot, TJ! ;)

Is there really a bad reason to watch romantic comedies?
Really?

Umm, I dunno – Fred maybe? Why did you wait so long to spill the beans, to stir up the intrigue? See, your how to be a commenter is working, I don’t think I’ve commented on your blog but maybe once or twice in all the time I’ve been lurking since BRK mentioned you ages ago on his old blog.

I actually kind of regret not using my real name on this site, because when I tell people my real name is not, in fact, TJ, they tell me that I don’t SEEM like a Kelly. So that can’t possibly be my name.
But it IS, Internet.
IT IS.
Total number of people in this world who call me Kelly? 7.

He calls me AWESOME.

Okay, not sure if I’m misremembering. But didn’t we find out your name was Kelly back when Phil proposed? I could swear that video of the guy proposing said “Kelly will you marry…”.
Darn it, now I have to go re-watch the proposal video. Oh well, it’s cute, and made me smile. Can’t hurt to see it again.

Yep, but new people have started reading since then.
But there’s no bad reason to go watch the proposal again, I say.
I just might do it, too.

I remember encountering you as a suggestion on my oft-ignored Facebook account. I still don’t know how that happened.

Who knew! And you’re right, you don’t seem like a Kelly :P

I should warn you that it’s probably going to be days before you can stop singing that to yourself.

Better than “Achy Breaky Heart” that some idiot was singing over Vent last night and now it’s still stuck in my head.
Time for some Rock Band to cleanse the mind!
