on John Krasinkski - Pt. 1
sUSA!n: What if we did a weekend vacation in Boston?? Southwest has a deal right now, at least from Midway in Chicago...I've never been to Boston. Have you guys?? I just want to meet Matt Damon AND JOHN KRASINSKI!!!!!!!
me: Doesn't our collective boyfriend have a girlfriend? Not that I wouldn't oogle him.... but I think John has found his real-world Pam and I for one, totally hate her. I have never been to Boston even though I have a cousin who lives there. Who else do we know who would host us and show us the pubs where all the cool kids hang out? Or, more specifically where I can find Krasinki's doorstep.
Christina: My sister in law just moved from there last year. Maybe I can quick try to be best friends with her friends.
sUSA!n: do we care that he has a girlfriend? First of all, she's british. So he's only in it for the accent. once that allure wears off and he realizes their offspring would have a jacked up mouth full of yellow teeth he'll move on. He'll then realize he wants a tall, strong-willed, educated Dutch woman who appreciates his height and wit. Someone who doesn't want to be in the spotlight but would rather have a beer and some french fries at a hole-in-the-wall pub by his parents house. Heck, invite the parents! We've been raised in a parent-friendly environment. I'd wow them with my knowledge of social work policy history, America's racist origins, and my love for the underdog (and HOT dogs). We're both the babies of the family, so John and I would bond over our childhoods filled with being overlooked, ignored, not taken seriously...only to grow up into over-acheivers who everyone likes better than their older siblings and who spell better and have better handwriting (a skill acquired during those afternoons alone, with only a Nintendo and a chalkboard to play with). We'd call Conan, a fellow-Bostonian to meet us for a hockey game, or a baseball game (it IS america's pasttime and i think i've already demonstrated my patriotism) and then have a potluck dinner, watching an America's Next Top Model marathon.
Christina: after reading that, I'm in.
me: I think this ranks up there with our plan to stake out Oprah's front lawn and read select passages from her Book Club books.
