Tuesdays with Jihone

Erica: I hate back rubs
Jihone: Giving or receiving
Erica: both!
Jihone: I think its creepy, so I avoid it
Erica: me too, people seem to try to use it like in flirting form
Jihone: no, that’s just sick.
Erica: I know, and it hurts
Jihone: People should just flirt the old fashioned way...by doing impressive things
Erica: Like what?
Jihone: Like throwing drinks at javelinas from a moving car
Erica: Yes that is the way to a woman's heart
Jihone: Hey if a girl did that she'd have my vote
Erica: Well I'll take it over a backrub
Jihone: These are the things we agree upon.
Erica: Yes. So, drinks thrown at javelinas > backrubs
Jihone: We were hanging out once, and this guy asked this girl if she wanted a foot rub. Immediately I vomited onto myself.
Erica: No no to foot rubs. So, javelina tricks > backrubs > foot rubs
Jihone: What’s worse than foot rubs, hmm....
Erica: Are we still staying in the flirting vein?
Jihone: sure
Erica: okay, serenading. Singing a song for someone
Jihone: Yes. That is pretty horrid…but worse than feet?
Erica: I would rather have someone rub my feet than sing to me
Jihone: But what if they're good at singing? A foot rub is gross even if they’re like a pro
Erica: But it doesn't embarrass me as much
Jihone: Yeah. True. And you gotta assume you don’t like the person. Because if you liked them...then it really doesn't matter what they do, as long as they don’t like take a dump on your couch

I found this entire dialogue very compelling.

I agree, taking a dump on my couch would pretty much end a relationship.

I am a large fan of the greater than symbols used here. I would like to say that I haven't thought of those since like 1st grade, but unfortunately I took math at MCC, which means I used them like 12 short months ago.

You know what else is awkward? Using your massage gift certificate only to show up and have a GIRL be your masseuse. AWKWARD. Oh wait, having a guy be your masseuse is pretty weird, too.

hmmm really?
if my OM could quit his job and rub my feet or back all day (no flirting necessary or desired) that would be fine by me.

I was thinking "hmm, not quite as funn..... wait! dump on couch?!" LOL! That's great!

A couple of weeks ago in YW, one of the girls appropriately told of a quote she learned at EFY (of course) "Back rubs in the front room lead to front rubs in the back room." I spewed out a hearty laugh and the other leaders nodded their heads in disapproval. I agree with the hatrid of backrubs, however, I like footrubs. So for me: footrubs > backrubs/serenading. What are you supposed to do durring a serenade? Look at them longingly? Sing along? I just don't quite know. I talk as if this is a regular problem for me.
