Hello. I tried commenting on your blog post but it wouldn't work! Maybe we're not meant to comment on each other's posts. I don't know. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I really wish I could have read your comments. I love getting comments.
Scouts must be hard. That would be my biggest fear calling. Which means, that's probably the calling I would get. :) Do you remember when you saw the Wal-Mart employees doing their singing/dancing thing? You were not a big fan. So, the scouts' singing/dancing thing must be pretty hard.
Love you!
Oh, this P.S. is for Dad. I need to be able to comment on your page with my other google account (heapofloser@yahoo.com) so that they will be signed "Jesse" instead of "Justin ampersand (sp?) Jesse" It won't let me because I'm not a team member or something. Why aren't I on the team?

Facebook shmacebook
Thanks to Nic's enlightening blog earlier, Jesse and I are no longer on facebook. Some of you may have noticed but if not i am telling you now. Goodbye facebook, you will not be selling my information if i have anything to say about it. However, i am writing this in an internet explorer browser so nic hasn't completely fixed me yet.
Valentine's Day in a Nutshell
I am the only one who hasn't commented yet on valentine's day so here it is. I don't know how you can hate a day that you know is going to end in sex...
25 Things About Jesse
Alright, as Jesse stated before when she posted her 25 things about me, we are doing this because everyone on facebook was doing it and we couldn't think of 25 things about ourselves so we are doing it for each other instead. That was the longest run on sentence ever. Jesse posted "25 things about Justin" a few days ago, so if you haven't read it, shame on you. It's hilarious. Go read it. Come on what's your damage? Anyway in light of today being Valentine's day I decided to post mine today. So get ready to learn 25 things about Jesse.
25 Things about Jesse
1. She is the fastest reader I have ever encountered. She reads entire books in a single day. For example, she read the entire twilight series in less than 48 hours. And she worked both of those days and didn't just sit and read. It's very impressive.
2. She is so ambitious that it takes her a long time to finish anything. Explain. Because she starts working on an idea that she has, and then she always gets another brilliant idea and starts working on that and so on and so on. She also has thirty million projects going on.
3. She can't be beat on Sing Star. It's just not possible. Seriously.
4. Absolutely adores every member of her family and would go to the ends of the world for every one of them.
5. She is insanely talented in a lot of different areas. She plays volleyball, is awesome at drawing, awesome at painting (water color, charcoal, pastels, etc...), building things out of anything and everything, writing stories and poems, and there are many more.
6. She is an amazing poet. She has been published in three different college literary magazines and one of those she never even attended. She has had about 20 poems published and a short story and some art work that she did last year.
7. Gob is her favorite character on Arrested Development.
8. Has such a huge heart for everybody that she can't watch a movie without crying, or tyra banks show, or maury povich. In fact i am pretty sure she cries through duracell commercials.
9. Loves Harry Potter. If he were real, I would be worried about my position in this house.
10. Is one of the funniest people I have ever met. Half the time she doesn't even know that she's being funny. She has impeccable comedic timing.
11. Is a sucker for 80's chick music. Blondie, Cyndi Lauper, Paula Abdul, Madonna, Debbie Gibson, Pat Benetar, etc.
12. Loves 'The Breakfast Club' as much as I do. And the significance of that can't be properly expressed at this time.
13. HATES sandwhiches. Unless they are on a crescent with real cheese and some avocado.
14. Masters things faster than it would take somebody else just to learn it. She seriously does something for an hour and is already a pro. It's ridiculous.
15. Loves to plan parties and is very good at it. She always knows exactly what she wants to do, but the only problem is that sometimes that is more than we can afford. Her parties are unparalelled though.
16. Has over 6,000 songs on her ipod, and that's pretty dang awesome.
17. Loves classic movies. Some of her favorites include the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, and Alfred Hitchcock.
18. Absolutely hates leftovers. Won't eat them, won't even poke them with a stick.
19. When she gets excited (which is often) she does this jumping-pick up her legs-twirling arm thing. It's hysterical and everybody should see this once in their lifetime.
20. Thinks Clint Eastwood is sexy.
21. She hates to paint walls but always forgets it. She is the first one to volunteer because she says she loves painting, and then it never fails, five minutes into it she will look at me and say, "i freaking hate painting."
22. Same exact thing with travelling.
23. Had a really unhealthy obsession with *N Sync as a teenager.
24. Named her first cat Rascal Potatohead.
25. When she gets a box of chocolates she breaks them open before she eats them. The problem being she only likes half of them, so there is what seems to be a half eaten box of chocolates that sits around forever.

Motivated by Bryan's comment on Chris' post...
I just read Chris' post "Ramblin'" and then Bryan's comment under it. This also comes from a very long talk Justin and I had. I just want to say, that as a woman, and I know I may be the only one of my sex to say this, but I don't HAVE to have flowers for Valentine's Day. I don't NEED them, but beyond even that, I think it's completely ridiculous for someone to spend that much money on flowers. Justin pointed out that girls have no clue how much they cost, which is true. I had no idea how much they were until I got married and Justin used money from our joint account to buy me flowers last Valentine's Day. My reaction was: jaw dropped...frantically searching for words...INSANITY!
So, anyway, my point is, that although flowers are great, and although most women really appreciate and love being given flowers, I think that most sensible girls would be like me, totally fine with getting some other token of love. It took much talking to convince Justin that, knowing how much flowers are, I would actually PREFER something different. Chocoloates, card, whatever else. Anything else. I hope I'm not the only girl who would agree. Chris, I know you haven't written in detail what you mean by Valentines Day being a sham, but I would say that it's only a sham if we choose to make it that way. All Valentines Day means to me is celebrating love. When we let it become all commercialized, then yeah, it's totally stupid.
Well...for those of you out there that still MUST get flowers for your lady on Valentines Day, I would suggest going to proflowers.com
in upper right hand corner there is a link "HEAR ABOUT US ON RADIO OR TV, CLICK HERE"
then, enter "discount" in the box. You can get a dozen assorted roses for 29.99 or 18 red roses for 39.99 and there are a bunch of other deals.
I would order today, and they deliver to your door, yada yada, and they will get there by Valentines Day. Happy shopping.

25 Things About Justin
So...everyone on Facebook has been doing the "25 Things About Me" thing. I tried, Justin tried, and neither of us could write 25 things about ourselves. I got about 10, I think. I don't know what it is, we just couldn't do it. So, I came up with an idea. Justin and I are going to write 25 things about each other. That way, it's much much easier. So, here's mine, hopefully Justin's will follow soon.
25 Things About Justin
1. Justin dances around our house all the time--seriously, he does.
2. Justin is easily satisfied, easy to make happy, not high maintenance at all.
3. He is hilarious and will say anything to be funny, (taboo, offensive, racist, you name it) but it's all in good fun.
4. He is unflinchingly loyal to his family and friends, and would do anything for them.
5. Justin hates confrontation and will joke until it blows over.
6. He loves back rubs, back massages, back scratches--LOVES THEM.
7. One of his favorite things is sitting in the bathroom while the shower's running because it gets really hot and steamy.
8. He loves driving, and is a very safe and cautious driver. When I drive, I scare him to death.
9. Justin knows everything about movies, and is a self-proclaimed snob when it comes to movies.
10. Justin is AWESOME.
11. He told me he wants to be Barney on "How I Met Your Mother"
12. Justin loves playing Singstar as much as I do.
13. Together, we spent many late nights and early morning hours playing and eventually beating an X-Men game on the Playstation. (He was Wolverine, I was Cyclops)
14. When his hair poofs up on top, he says he looks like a dinosaur. Specifically, a brontosaurus.
15. He likes Jorja Fox from CSI, only because she has a gap in her front teeth like he does.
16. Justin has this weird thing where no one will sit by him by choice. In class, movie theatres, everywhere, people will sit in every other seat before they sit by him.
17. Once he starts talking in his "Arnold" voice, he can't stop.
18. He loves doing the Michael Jackson grab-crotch-spin-thing (complete with 'yee-hee' sound effect).
19. Justin refuses to watch director Roman Polanski's movies because he is a known pedophile.
20. His favorite actors are those who have good character as well as talent.
21. He is nearly physically incapable of listening to music he doesn't like.
22. Justin loves chick flicks, and will watch anything with me.
23. He is very creative, though he doesn't think so.
24. Justin can't help it, he has to look up the trivia on the Internet Movie Database for every movie we watch.
25. He thinks he has such bad luck that every team he roots for in any sport will most likely lose.
