For those of you who stalk me on the facebook (It's okay. You can admit it. There's no shame here.), you may have noticed that a certain friend of mine named Natasha wrote a response to one of my previous posts in her blog.
This is both
1. Flattering
2. Irksome (duh.)
First of all, I love this girl. I love her blog. She's my favorite kind of witty. If you have never read about her shenanigans before, shame on you.
Now, go read her post below. It will make my reaction make sense. Or, if you prefer the nonsense version of my writing, feel free to continue without reading her blog. Or go speak to me in real life. Absurdity at its finest right there.
Anyway.

For the sake of convenience, I have copied her list of things I would "actually" do. (She uses more festive colors than I do. I don't want to hear any complaining.)
What Jenna would really do in a 26 hour day:
2. Learn how to play the shofar (for the sole purpose of blowing into it obnoxiously in the halls of Old Cabell as she runs to Hebrew class in the morning)
3. Get into situations too awkward to blog about
4. Procrastinate doing laundry and instead make a fort out of her socks
5. I'll give her #5, it's probably true
6. Procrastinate reading that other thing
7. Forget that she was there to go bowling, and start a flash mob in front of the shoe check-out counter.
8. Go on a date... with George Clooney (I figured I should be at least a little bit nice.)
9. Go on a hike, and plant a flag on the top of the mountain that says "IT'S JUST WRONG, STUPID AND AWKWARD NOT TO USE THE OXFORD COMMA"
10. By "jam with musical friends," she really means pulling a Kanye West at a Justin Bieber concert. "Imma let you finish, JB, but Natasha Oladokun is the best blogger of all time!" :D (ok... maybe that one was a stretch. But I couldn't resist. :D)
11. She already has an intense arsenal of puns at her disposal, so I have no idea what she's talking about there.
The response to the response:
1. Duh. My list was of things I could do in a 26 hour day. Not what I would actually do. (Proven by the existence of my original #8.)
2. All I can say is that she knows me well enough to realize that I would still always be running late to Hebrew, even with two extra hours in my day.
3. Have you read my blog? I'm pretty sure there's no shame here.
4. I think she means LEARN to make a fort out of socks. Because that would really be impressive. Especially considering how few socks I have.
5. Good concession. (Ha. Concession. Like concessions. As in food. Fitting.)
6. I'll give her that one.
7. Clearly, I would do both.
8. I don't need two extra hours to go on dates with George (yes, first name basis.) We go on biweekly dates already actually.
9. THIS IS WHERE MY CAREFUL REPUDIATION OF HER LIST ENDS.
Natasha.
"IT'S JUST WRONG, STUPID AND AWKWARD NOT TO USE THE OXFORD COMMA."
THERE IS NO OXFORD COMMA IN THAT STATEMENT. SUCH PHRASING WOULD NEVER, EVER BE ON A FLAG I CREATED BECAUSE I WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND SUPPORT SAID MARK OF PUNCTUATION.
To quote someone sassy and gay,
what,
what, (<Oh look at that. It's the Oxford Comma.)
WHAT
were you thinking?
Who needs a reality check now?
I don't even know if this is classy,
Jenna
