xxxx annika xxxxx: lol, never dated a blogger befo
xxxx annika xxxxx: that i know of
dumbtp: i dont blame you
xxxx annika xxxxx: haha, it would suck if i read about all my eccentricities on the web
dumbtp: im sure they would come across as charming
dumbtp: are you very eccentric in relationships?
xxxx annika xxxxx: im a freak
dumbtp: control freak?
dumbtp: clean freak?
dumbtp: attention whore?
xxxx annika xxxxx: no, i guess i’m pretty normal, but it seems that for years now, i haven’t been able to go more than four months in any relationship
xxxx annika xxxxx: it’s always four months and out
xxxx annika xxxxx: i don’t know, it must be a magic number or something, but i get bored
dumbtp: what month are you in now?
xxxx annika xxxxx: i just finished my four months
dumbtp: and?
xxxx annika xxxxx: so i’m looking
xxxx annika xxxxx: haha
dumbtp: get out!
dumbtp: ahahahaha
xxxx annika xxxxx: Yah, Matt took that interview when i just started dating that guy
xxxx annika xxxxx: but its over now
dumbtp: ohh, im so sorry!
xxxx annika xxxxx: no biggie, it was my decision
dumbtp: seriously do you think you were bored?
xxxx annika xxxxx: yah, i’m hard to please
dumbtp: how many of these 4 monthers have you dumped?
xxxx annika xxxxx: hmmm, um the last guy, mike
xxxx annika xxxxx: before that was jason
xxxx annika xxxxx: then peter
xxxx annika xxxxx: so im on three in a row
dumbtp: thats not so bad
dumbtp: at least you see the problem and get rid of it
xxxx annika xxxxx: haha, true
dumbtp: what did those dudes not understand?
xxxx annika xxxxx: you know, i can’t really blame them.
xxxx annika xxxxx: Mike just had no ambition or interest in anything outside his own little world
xxxx annika xxxxx: not that there’s anything inherently wrong with that, but it started to bug me
xxxx annika xxxxx: like one time i was talking about current events and he said, “sorry, I guess I’m just not a news buff.”
dumbtp: ahahaha
xxxx annika xxxxx: but then i sometimes get carried away
xxxx annika xxxxx: still, what’s a news buff? Following the news is like breathing, not something i even think about doing, it’s so natural
dumbtp: so being buff isnt enough, now you want a buff news buff?
xxxx annika xxxxx: buff is good
xxxx annika xxxxx: Hey Jeff Gordon just won the Daytona 500
dumbtp: didnt he cheat on his wife?
xxxx annika xxxxx: i dont know, i dont follow racing, but my bro does
dumbtp: i was watching stefanapolis
xxxx annika xxxxx: George Stepopotamus, as i call him
dumbtp: i was waiting for him to talk about jeff gannon
xxxx annika xxxxx: for no particular reason
dumbtp: whats your take on that?
xxxx annika xxxxx: Well, i always liked Gannon, especially a few years ago,
xxxx annika xxxxx: but was very disappointed in his superbowl performance, and then he got injured
xxxx annika xxxxx: and now hes over the hill
dumbtp: so sad
xxxx annika xxxxx: seriously, when i heard the story about jeff gannon, thought they were talking about Rich
xxxx annika xxxxx: i was very confused
dumbtp: its hard for me to seperate the two as well
xxxx annika xxxxx: What’s the story anyway, Bush gave him press credentials so he could plant questions in the news conferences? is that it?
dumbtp: lets hope thats it
dumbtp: some say he was there because his boyfriend is the press sec
dumbtp: or that he blackmailed himself in there
xxxx annika xxxxx: What’s this about him being a male prostitute?
dumbtp: escort
dumbtp: $200/hr
dumbtp: or $1200 a weekend
dumbtp: which seems like a bargain
xxxx annika xxxxx: REeeealllyyy?
xxxx annika xxxxx: i never heard that.
dumbtp: how else can you get past the secret service?
dumbtp: and why would you have to pay a dude for something that half the press do for free?
xxxx annika xxxxx: Jack Bauer did it easily in season one
dumbtp: jack bauer is hotter
xxxx annika xxxxx: haha
xxxx annika xxxxx: Well, you know, who was that blogger that was fucking half of Washington
xxxx annika xxxxx: oh, duh, the washingtonienne
dumbtp: washingtonne, only fucked a quarter of dc
xxxx annika xxxxx: Sounds like there’s a lot of sex going on in that town
dumbtp: then why wont they let the rest of us get any?
xxxx annika xxxxx: Hey what’s your take on Wonkette, if i may ask
dumbtp: i think shes great
dumbtp: i wrote her two fan emails
dumbtp: she answered the first one
dumbtp: then she got super famous
xxxx annika xxxxx: i saw her on Charlie Rose, and Andrew Sullivan was rude to her
dumbtp: i missed that one!
xxxx annika xxxxx: he wouldn’t let her speak
dumbtp: i hate catfights
xxxx annika xxxxx: lol
xxxx annika xxxxx: but she had this bang thing going, where it kept falling over one eye
dumbtp: so hot
xxxx annika xxxxx: and she kept brushing it back
xxxx annika xxxxx: the guys i was watching it with were very turned on by her
dumbtp: why she isnt superdooper famous is beyond me
dumbtp: how come she and washingtonniette arent doing a sunday morning show on mtv?
xxxx annika xxxxx: that would be hott
tune in next time when we talk a little bit about iraq, basketball, and charles bukowski
