20 Things F.R.I.E.N.D.S Taught Me

Most of you that know me know I love the TV Show F.R.I.E.N.D.S

These are a few of the things I've learned from Friends.  Life's most important lessons I think.

1. If you're "on a break" don't sleep with some girl from the coffee shop.
2. If you want to escape a crazy person, tell them you're going to Yemen
3. If you get stung by a jelly fish, someone will need to pee on you. 
• and so you know, if he had to, Joey would pee on ANY ONE OF YOU!
4. The best way to cheer someone up is to put a turkey on your head, with some over sized sunglasses, and dance around.
5. It is not smelly cat's fault.
6. If someone you care about writes you a letter, READ THE WHOLE THING, before agreeing.  Even if it is 18 pages FRONT AND BACK!
7. Every person is entitled to a freebie list.
• a list of 5 celebrities you could be intimate with if given the opportunity.
8. Maternity pants are great for when the baby expands, but they are also good later for stealing melons from grocery stores.
9. There are 7 erogenous zones. (Just ask Monica)
   
10. Regina Phalange and Ken Adams are the best alias names.
11. Too much Ms. Pac-Man will give you "the claw"
12. The 3 most frightening words can easily be "OH MY GAWD" followed closely by "Chandalah Bing?!"
13. When a point becomes invalid.  It is a "moo point" like a cow's opinion, it doesn't matter.
14. Its okay to cry when you watch Titanic because those two only had each other!
    
15. Everyone has a lobster.
16. When you're picking team captains... Bunny Up!
17. Love happens when you least expect it.
18. You can change your name to anything you want.  Even Princess Consuela Bananahammock.
19. Your friends are always there for you.
20. Thanksgiving is never, ever peaceful, or uneventful. And that is okay.

Book Review: Divergent by Veronica Roth

This weeks book review is on Divergent by Veronica Roth.

Keith read this book first because he saw the trailer for the movie. I had no intention of reading it until one day, he was taking a long time to go somewhere and the book HAPPENED to be sitting on the counter next to me.  I started reading on a Thursday night, and finished it Sunday evening.

I love books like this.  The ones that are impossible to put down.  I read in every spare moment, in the bathtub, while I was cooking dinner, at bed time, waiting at the eye doctor with my mom.  I just read and read.

LOVED every second of it.  The first chapter had me so involved that I couldn't stop reading.

Then it gets REALLY good, there is a little love, a little fighting, and a lot of really great story lines.

When I saw this book, I was like "Oh great, another Hunger Games knock-off, but BOY was I wrong.  This was nothing like the Hunger Games and dare I say, it was even better.




Synopsis:
In this post-apocolyptic world, society is divided into five factions.

• Abnegation (the selfless)
• Erudite (the knowledge seekers)
• Dauntless (the brave)
• Amity (the peacemakers/peacekeepers)
• Candor (the honest)

Tris is a young Abnegation girl who has reached the age where she must take the Aptitude Test to determine which faction she truly belongs to.  I won't spoil it.

She takes the test, and chooses a faction.  Then she makes some friends, and has to go through initiation.  She finds a boy named Four, and he is awesome ((I told Keith that I have a fiction crush on him) and I actually had a dream about him last night!)  He and she get through a bunch of stuff, and then crap gets real.

I can't tell you anymore because I don't want to spoil it.  So go read this book because I give it a 5/5 stars!

It is so well written, and the way Veronica Roth describes and writes about things, it makes it seem like I am there, and I can actually see and feel everything that happens.

The movie came out on March 21, 2014.  I plan to write a review on the movie as soon as I see it.

I'll let you know, until then... Watch the trailer.
