Last night was one of those nights. Those kind of nights when you go to bed feeling so exhausted you might actually fall over if your bed was any more steps away from the doorway of the bedroom. Then when you get into your bed your fiance makes sympathetic noises about being tired too and then, just as you are turning your bedside lamp off, he rolls over and turns his bedside lamp on so that he can read just one more chapter, which turns into, you know, five.
And then you start talking about the wedding that will happen someday and whether or not his asshole friend from the game shop should be invited and then, the larger issue, whether or not his sisters should be invited, which leads to the conversation about whether or not we should put faith in his family to remain civil should they somehow all end up in one place for the first time in more than three years which, somehow, leads to a conversation about music to play at the wedding.
And somehow, even though it's now an hour and a half later than it was when you fell into bed, you are suddenly awake! And talking about music! And agreeing not to play Unchained Melody and trying not to laugh about having a fiance who says "god that song is just soooo overdone" and then asking why you would want to walk down the aisle to anything other than the standard organ-played traditional bridal march.
I might have mentioned that I am kind of in love with this one song that would work as an aisle walking song, no matter which direction we are walking. Will isn't too familiar with the song and when I said "it's the people as M&Ms song and the song from the end of Empire Records!" he still wasn't convinced that it belonged on an important playlist (hello! It's Empire Records! Is there a song from that movie that isn't playlist worthy?). So he said "here, we'll turn on the radio for inspiration."
And he turns on the radio? And? No joke? I cannot even make this stuff up, this is what comes out of the radio:
"She's a bitch but she's my bitch."
No kidding.
It was the very last lyric to either a song or what had to have been a hysterical ad. Either way, we laughed ourselves stupid. And then spent a half an hour trying to figure out what the lyric belonged to.
So yeah, it was one of those nights.

LOL. I like talking about weddings and all, but when I’m trying to go to sleep, I think I would just have to tell him to shut it. And reading… I wouldn’t have to worry about that with my b/f. He doesn’t like to read. I’d probably be the one keeping him up with the light reading.
That song on the radio that was on when you turned it on! HILARIOUS!! LOL

AH! The invitation list! OMG! Yes! I am in the process of that right now! Who sits with who, who and what? Will my dad be civil? Ahhh… the invitation list.

Keri: I’m STILL laughing about the lyrics!
Gibsondog: I am stating here, for the record, that we are not going to have any sort of seating chart unless it is to keep certain people away from other people! Of course, we don’t know that many people so a seating chart might just be superfluous.

These lyrics are really funny, it reminds me of Wierd Al Yankowvich. He always seems to make the best parodies out of good themes with really funny lyrics. I dont think hes put out a cd in quite awhile though, when he does ill buy it!
