Betty and Al

This is a post to tell you all that Ali is now called Betty and Courteney is now called Al.

Also, this is a picture of what happens if you put mentos in a 2 litre of coke.


Thank You All For Listening To This Very Important Post.

--Courteney

over-dramatized hypothetical situational conversation

It was a dark and stormy night...
Well not so much stormy as just dark. And it got darker. Until it got lighter and it was daylight.
But daytime is not the issue here.
I'm talking about what happened that night.

Courteney and I (This post being written in the first person by Ali) got together this night and we enjoy the fresh night air of this dark night. We had deep intelligent conversation and discussed the important factors which influence our lives today. We broadened our spectrum with words and thoughts and feelings (of a non romantic nature, I should specify).

Having such a conversation we thought to write some of it down as to remember it later.
Unfortunately because... it was so dark... some of the words and spelling aren't entirely clear so I'll put stars beside things needed to be clarified.

"Nabil's an asshole *
Courteney is as ** Bitch
JJ's an asshole
we know.
In Siberia... it's so cold
icecles*** everywhere!
Ali you have plans next
saturday... WITH SATAN
(haha accuracy!)"

*Not an insult towards any charming young men with whom we are acquainted, it was just something amusing related to the conversation. You know... over-dramatized hypothetical situational conversation (the best kind)
** supposed to be "a" I believe
*** icicles

A Gift From Courteney...

Even though the neighbourhood think I'm trashy...

It's funny how certain childhood memories of no significance can stay with you for years and years.
I was just thinking about having a shower when I remembered a... well I guess a thought I had when I was in elementary school. At the time Grease was one of my favorite movies, naturally I knew the words to every song by heart.
I remember thinking about the song "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" sung by Rizzo.
You know... "There are worse things I could do, than go with a boy or two...."
Well I remember thinking about the lines: "I can stay home every night, wait around for Mr. Right. Take cold showers everyday, and throw my life away, on a dream that won't come true."
I understood the concept of the good girl staying home every night, no partying or fooling around with boys, because she's waiting for Mr. Right but the cold showers thing I wondered about. At the time I believe I guessed that cold showers are better for your skin or something along those lines.
My understanding of things is a little better now.
In fact I may go have a cold shower now, but believe me it has nothing to do with improving my skin.

Does anyone else feel very sad about That 70's Show ending or is it just me?


I remember the first time I ever heard about That 70's Show. I was in grade 7 and my friend Emily had a picture from one of the machines in the mall...you know you get 4 shots for $4 and it takes 4 minutes? Anyways, it was of her and her then boyfriend Micheal (they were just MEANT to be together...lol). And underneath the picture on the white section her sister Kelsi had written "Jackie and Kelso". Of course I was 12 and watched like zero TV...so I asked what it meant...and Emily told me all about the show. I went home and watched it that night and I was hooked...I've now seen every episode except the final one which will air next week. *Emily was also the one who first told me about Friends. I've known both her and Micheal since I was 3 years old*

I have so many fond moments and memories that coincide with that show:Every morning for about 5 years I would get on the bus and wait about 8 stops until my best friend Kim *I've also known her since I was 3* would get on. And then we would talk about That 70's Show. All our fav. moments...Donna's hands speech got tons of laughs "I have the world's biggest hands!" as did Fez's famous "I said good day!".

I remember years later sitting in my boyfriend Nabil's living room with his sister *and one of my closest friends* Lua and just laughing hysterically over Jessica Simpson's guest appearance *"I DONT LIKE THINGS THAT BOUNCE!"* and her singing a beautiful song and everyone just kind of standing there all "umm ok."

So many times over dinner Nabil and I would look at each other and spout of the famous Laurie line "Burst into flame! BURST INTO FLAME!"

When I started...umm...not doing that thing that they do on the show...the lines would constantly come up. "That was a double degree burn!" "Lets call it 'JACKIE'"

To this day when I hear Space Cowboy, Shake Your Groove Thing, Love Hurts, etc. I think of the musical episode. It was my fav. by far.

When I was 13 and 14 I had the world's biggest crush on Hyde, when I was 15 it switched to Kelso...and of course I always adored *sigh* Casey.

So many times during an awkward silence someone will say "So there's this car...and it runs on WATER!"

So those are just a few of my fondest 70's memories... I grew up with the show and with the characters...so many of the things they do remind me of myself. Their graduation episode comes into my head often lately. Eric went away to Africa on the show at the same time that Nabil went away to Japan...we even broke up at the same time.

I am rambling but I feel that I need to do this. The show meant a lto to me...I remember being so depressed that all I had the energy for was watching it...and it always made me laugh...maybe one day someone I know will fall off a watertower...
LEO FOREVER!
