So this is actually a blog post from my old Myspace blog from December 2006. You remember Myspace right? I used to actually blog and, you know, WRITE when I was on there. Hmm...Now I just, tweet and update my face. I mean, update my status on Facebook. (Updating my face won't happen for a few more years I don't think...the old gal is hanging in there) Well, all you need to know is at the time I wrote this blog, I had a new roommate named Justin. Also keep in mind for those of you who remember Myspace that no one used their real name on there-it was all names like "Cupcakegirl" or "sk8terboi82" and last century stuff like that. Enjoy!

I always enjoy watching a few select Christmas movies every year around the Holidays, and one that I particularly enjoy is "White Christmas." It's such an old fashion movie musical, all about snow, being in the army, putting on a show, and love and what not. It's great.

Last night between doing loads of laundry, I was flipping around trying to find it on the boob tube but it was no where to be found. One station was airing a marathon of "The Christmas Story" but every time I tuned in, it had already started. Plus it was airing with commercials, so that sucks. (unless u are baking cookies or something then it's okay to have commercials.)

So eventually I settled on "Single White Female" on HBO. I had never seen this movie. I thought, hmmm, this might be a nice new Christmas Eve tradition. I figured it has "White" in the title, it couldn't be that far from "White Christmas." Maybe it was about a lone female snowflake trying to make it home for the Holidays...

This movie is some F'd up shizz let me tell you. That is one scary hot-mess right there. I mean, she kills the puppy! Santa will totally pass up her house for sure. And it really makes you think about how well you know someone!! I could totally relate with the Bridget Fonda character. I mean, here she is this single gal, in need of a roommate so that she can afford to make the rent. Hello?! I'm practically her! I just got a roommate for the very same reason! Many of you know my roommate, Justin.

Well, after watching this movie I got to thinking... just how well do I really know this Justin person? I mean, he seems nice, but so did Heddy in the beginning. Justin...hmmmm. I bet that isn't even his real name. I was searching around on myspace and I came upon his profile...well, he doesn't even mention the name Justin. It's totally like the movie!!

So last night when he got home, I was pretty pissed about the whole name thing and I was waiting up for him. It was pretty late. I was all "Where the HELL have you been???" And he was like, "uh...Caroling. I told you I had a Caroling gig?!" I thought to myself, "Yeah right! Caroling?! More like killing my gay neighbor who lives in the apartment upstairs!!!??!" Just as I was about to go ape-shizz on him I remembered that I live on the 2nd floor of a two story apartment building.

So, I decided to take a cue from the movie and just act like nothing had happened, kinda like when Jennifer Jason Leigh cuts off all her hair to look like Bridget Fonda and it's totally creepy and any normal person would go running to the hills at that point, but no. Or in the next scene after Ned Ryerson tries to make-out with Bridget Fonda, and for some reason she is more freaked about that than her crazy roommate, so she takes some random pills from her. It's like nothing had ever happened and they're best friends again. That's what I did. I just smiled, gave Justin a hug, gathered up my clothes (I was totally naked) left his room and went to bed.

This morning I woke up and went into the Kitchen and there was Justin making a Smoothie or something in his coffee machine or whatever, and I was like, "Merry Christmas!" you know all happy, and sing-songy and holiday-esque, and Justin's all like "Merry Christmas!" the same way back! Well that was it. I totally called the Cops right then and there. I was like, "You're going to the poe-po you crazy psycho freak! You're going to the Looney Bin. They are gonna lock you up and throw away the key!!" And as the Medics carted him off I screamed, "What did you think?? I was just going to stand idly by while you blow Steven Webber and then kill him with one of your high-heeled shoes?? I don't think so! No Sir-reee!"

(reflective pause)

I think next Christmas I will rent "White Christmas" or maybe buy myself a copy. I wonder if it's out on DVD. It's just not the Holidays without it...

Merry Christmas!!
