points.*

something that i like to do is use a points system with my friends. certain things they do earn them points (more or less depending how great they are) and then i can rank them according to how many points they have earned...kind of like jesus does.



a sample of the points system:

~ flowers (which inevitably remain on my counter long after they have died because i like them) (+100)
~ e-mails or texts instead of phone calls(+10)
~ nicknames (+15)**
~ tapping or any meaningless touch (-55)
~ hugging or any affectionate touch (+75)
~ choosing to see good things in me (+400)
~ admonishment (the previous entry is a prerequisite)(+450)
~ making decisions for me when i don't want to (+60)
~ making me feel stupid for getting lost everywhere i go (-30)
~ telling me i'm like my mom in any way (which has happened three times this last week!)(+500)
~ ignoring me or becoming obviously distracted in the middle of a serious conversation (-55)
~ creating something just for me (+85)
~ being willing to give "Nightmare Before Christmas" a second chance even if you already think you hate it (+150)
~ telling me i'm pretty (+20)
~ meaning it (+70)



*disclaimer: if you do not know me well or at all, it is necessary for me to clarify that this entry is entirely sarcastic; therefore taking offense as well as comments or e-mails regarding backward theology are not permissible.

**points are detracted instead of awarded for the following nicknames: "linguica", "loweenie", "loweasel", "luigi", and "yoshi." "lou" is limited to only a very few people - you know who you are.
