Breaking up

The universe is falling apart. Let me explain:
  1. The two most perfect people that I know are in my ward, and they've been dating and everything was beautiful until they unexpectedly broke up. I know its not really any of my business, and so this is kind of stupid, but I feel kind of heartbroken about it. I mean, for one thing, the guy is a friend of mine and I'm sad that it didn't work out for him, but there's more than just empathy going on here: If these two can't make it work out, then what chance do us normal people have?
  2. The elders' quorum broke up. They split it and made two quorums. I'm not an expert on this, but my understanding is that the upper limit on and elders' quorum is 96 members. Well, I figure that there are a maximum of 24 guys in my building, plus 4 in Continental, so there would have to be 68 guys in the condos and out of ward boundaries to have enough to really split the quorum. What are they thinking?
  3. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are getting a divorce.
Do I need more evidence? The world is coming to an end.

It all just makes me feel real funny inside. Like not in a good way either.

Heather said...

You mean Brad Pitt is single again! YES!! Here's my chance to move in for the kill...

You're so selfish, Heather. Think about what you're doing to the universe.

Heather said...

What? Do you actually think two people THAT attractive should actually be together? I mean what about all of the rest of us mildly attractive to not so attractives? There has to be some kind of rule about this. You know, in that great book of laws no one has actually ever heard of, but they're there anyway... I'm going to have to start enforcing some of them. Starting with the rule that says people under a certain height can't eat green beans, and because I'm under that certain height I will have to forego eating green beans for the rest of my life.

I had just said last week that I hoped Brad and Jen would stay together a long time, at least longer than most Hollywood couples. I think I might have jinxed it. I've also witnessed about three breakups this week, of close friends of mine. You're right, B, it's the end of the world.

P.S. I don't think you have ever commented on my blog. Oh, and remember that towel?

Maggie said...

I don't know Heather. It has always been my opinion that attractive people hang out with other attractive people. That's why when you meet someone that you think is attractive, but they're taken it is still a good idea to stay friends. I'm sure they'll have other attractive friends to introduce you to. Plus, doesn't everyone agree that it is always good to be looking at attractive people? I guess I could go for the height and green beans law, just so long as you agree to pass my height requirement for marriage law:
It is only ok to marry someone that is within 6 inches of your own height.

Maggie said...

Bryant only has the concentration to read a blog that is approximately 20 lines long. He probably didn't comment, because well, it's too hard to read the whole thing. At least that's the case with him and my blog. Or maybe that's just the excuse he gives me instead of telling me that he actually thinks all the stuff I say is stupid. Unsolved mystery.

be said...

Sorry, Sam. I'll give you your towel plus interest, but I really do have a hard time reading the long posts.
And as for you, Heather, I'm about sick of this dating-socialism. You can't force a good looking person to be with a less-attrative person (that's the PC term for ugly).

be said...

And attrative is retard-talk for attractive. Sorry.

Sam said...

It was B who said that blogs are only fun if people comment, so I always have commented here. B, you don't need to read my whole post in order to comment.

When can you bring by my towel... I've needed it cause one of the others got ruined...

Kim Dubois said...

Six inches, Maggie? I'm doomed! I'm one inch too short!

Maggie said...

It's ok Kim, but only because you and Ben are one of my favorite married couples.

Ben said...

I was also thinkning that the end of the world mught be approaching, but it had nothing to do with Brad Pitt being available because I am totally excited about that. I was thinking more along the lines of the tsunami and floods and mudslides. I don't have a very good memory, so it may not mean anything, but I don't remember a time when there were so many natural disasters. Brad Pitt's availability makes up for all of it.

Heather said...

Ok, the six-inch rule is lame, and I'm with Ben.

I mean, about how he thought the world was coming to an end, and then Brad became available, and now everything's cool again. All right. See you later.

be said...

Ben, you have everything backwards. Sure, the disasters tearing apart the earth and its inhabitants are bad, but the break up of two people that clearly can't find better companions than each other (for the lack of their existence) shakes the whole foundation of reality. That's a much bigger problem, despite any individual interest that we may have in broken up parties.

Maggie said...

The six inch rule was made exactly for that purpose. You are one of the few short women that actually stay with short(er) men. Most of them go for the incredibly tall men. Plus, it's not a hard and fast rule. The real feel to the rule is that the two people fit together.

be said...

That's the "spirit of the law" with their dating-socialism; but of course, communism had good intentions, too. Maybe.

Ben said...

One of your ads implies that Brad may have cheated with Angelina Jolie. Maybe that would be a better match.

Heather said...

I think I fit very nicely with a guy around 6'1" or 6'2". Come on Mags, you totally agree.

Angelina Jolie (however you spell her name is really unimportant) is not good enough for Brad Pitt, if he's going to be with anyone it should be Jennifer Aniston ... or me.
