Two For the Awkward Metro Goodbyes Hall of Fame

- Stefanie

One of the best things about riding the Metro in D.C. is overhearing other people’s awkward conversations or watching their awkward moves. I have witnessed everything from Define-the-Relationship talks to the morning-after ride of shame. Yep, it’s all fun and games until you--or, in this case, someone you know--are a key player in Metro date awkwardness.

When It Comes to Pulling Out, Stefanie Keeps Her Mouth Shut

- Stefanie

The other day I was sitting in church with Captain Hilarious, minding my own business, when the pastor started reading from the Bible. To be honest, I wasn’t really paying attention. I don’t have the best track record when it comes to behaving in church. Most of the time, I just try to get through the sermon without audibly laughing – this is much harder than you might imagine.

So all I heard the pastor say was, “Genesis 38:8-10, from the NIV. . .yada yada yada…” and I tuned out.

Jane Austen and Rob Reiner: Ruining Romance For Real People

- Stefanie

The other night I was out to dinner with Hipster Boy, Calendar Girl, Sunshine Girl, and The Philosopher. The conversation soon turned to movies, as it often does. The Philosopher had recently watched Pride and Prejudice with his girlfriend (because he is a good egg and will watch chick flicks without much objection), and it left him with some lingering questions.

The Philosopher: “What is with girls and Mr. Darcy?”

He looked expectantly around the table for one of us to answer – and was met with silence.

Side note: There was a period of time when History Boy awarded himself “Darcy Points” whenever he did something he deemed chivalrous.

Gingham Girl Takes the Bus to Crazyville

- Stefanie

A particularly crazy Stefanie story.

The other day Hipster Boy told me a story, much to his chagrin, about a past relationship. When I told Hipster Boy I would be writing this blog he replied “I’m never telling you anything again.” Needless to say, I wore him down.

The story goes like this. Hipster Boy dated Gingham Girl for 8 months in college. He soon realized that she had some serious clingy/overbearing issues and was way more invested in the relationship than he was. He was feeling a little stifled so he broke up with her the summer before his senior year.
