Relationships: How To Do It The Right Way - Monday - Period Three

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

“So you’ve guys survived first dates, first kisses and are now in an established relationship. Yay!” Marshall said, clapping his hands together. “You now have a person to share everything with and spend every waking moment with. Okay, maybe not every waking moment, cause you don’t see Lily in here right now, but close.”

“Part of your responsibilities when you get into a relationship is integrating your girl or boyfriend in with your friends or family. Mixing your friends with your significant other shouldn’t be too hard. After all, you and your friends have stuff in common and you and your girl/boyfriend have stuff in common. The logical assumption would be that your friends and your boy/girlfriend would have stuff in common,” Marshall said. “Easy. My wife and I have all the same friends. Except for Brad. But he and I have a weird relationship…”

Marshall coughed. “Anyways. Family is not as easy. Your friends are protective but your family is super, super protective. And your family is also more likely to tell embarrassing stories and break out pictures of you. No, they don’t really hate you. They just care in a mean fashion.”

“And it’s just as nerve-wracking when you meet someone else’s parents for the first time. The most important thing to do in that situation is relax and be yourself. The first few times you meet your significant other’s parents you should treat them like you would treat your boss,” he said. “Be polite but be interesting. If they make a mean comment to you just pretend to ignore because you don’t want to get fired. And no sex stories.”

“So today we’re going to watch a movie about somebody meeting someone’s parents for the first time. This is pretty much a “what not to do” video,” he said. “Have fun!”

Listen To The Lecture

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

You really, really don't want to know about Marshall and Brad.

Angela wasn't really listening, so much as considering Johnny's suggestion of yesterday. If she had been listening, the chances were that no, she did't want to know about Marshall and Brad.

Anyway, at least her musings were a little bit related to the subject.

Considering that Anemone didn't have any parents, this was a complete non-issue for her. She opted to spend the lecture coloring instead.

Worf leaned over to Anemone. "Do you understand any of this?" He asked gesturing toward the movie and the teacher.

Anemone looked up at the movie and shook her head. "I don't have parents," she said simply. "I don't think I even know anyone at home that has parents, so I don't know if this is a real-movie or a fake-movie. Families couldn't possibly be this bad, could they?"

Summer was practically an expert at this. After all, she met both of Chris's moms.

"At least you got that part over with," Chris whispered.

No, he wasn't nervous about the possibility of meeting Summer's family. Not even a little.

"If I can survive meeting your moms, you'll be okay meeting my dad," Summer whispered back. "Your moms are scary."

Watch The Movie

Don't you love movie day?

Lucas loved movie day like it was his mom. He propped his head up on his hand and pretended he was awake.

Dick enjoyed movie day quite a bit! It had movies. What could be better?

Bumblebee watched, rather bemused at what this movie claimed as its example of human family life.

Talk to the TA

Chris was around.

Talk To Marshall

He was there.

OOC

Sorry for the lame-ish class. I had a migraine last night and today I've got to drive to Winchester to see my mom and I'm all blah. I'm getting the biggest coffee Sheetz has to offer.

Yes, Sheetz. My poor ass can't afford Starbucks. Besides at Sheetz I can get a sub too.

Re: OOC

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

Dude, Sheetz rocks. I love me some cheap-ass coffee and a Sheetz-burger. WOE for there are no Sheetz near me!

Also, dude, Marshall would be an awesome ninja assassin.

Re: OOC

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

How can you not have a Sheetz near you? Where do you get cheap(ish) gas?

And Marshall would be an awesome ninja assassin. It'd have to be a ninja assassin because I don't think he'd be suave enough to be a regular assassin. I don't care how good he looks in a suit.

Re: OOC

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

I live in hell, that is how. I go to le Costco. But it's still not as cheap, omg!

Dude, I love Marshall inna suit, but he is totes a ninja.

What's a Sheetz?

Re: OOC

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Please don't tell me I have to add Sheetz to the list of things only people on the East Coast know about. This just like the Roy Rogers thing!

Sheetz is the greatest gas station chain ever. It's always the cheapest and they have MTO's (Made-to-orders) that are damn good subs and are available 24-7.

Many a evening during my high school years consisted of hiking my drunk ass to the Sheetz with my friends to go get a turkey sub at 3 a.m.
