Can I Ever Get Back the Goofiness?
I’ve come across a couple of blogs lately done by young couples in love.
They are at the “goofy-love” stage of their lives. Comfortable enough with each other that all guards are down. They are having fun being goofy.
The first is Crying Wife. This is video shot by a guy of his wife who just gets totally immersed in movie characters and cries at movies – a lot!
Of course, her husband his right there with his trusty video to put it all on Youtube.com. If you visit the site there is lots of reassurance that she is totally OK with him doing this.
The funniest thing to me is when she cries after a movie that most people won’t cry after: Star Wars, Back to the Future, Lord of the Rings… etc. It’s hysterical to hear her talk about how happy she is for McFly or Frodo! The best part is, she has an amazing sense of humor and laughs at herself when she sees these videos. She knows they’re online and is happy that her quirk can bring people entertainment.
Goofy love.
The second instance of “goofy-love” is from Allie at Hyperbole and a Half. She and Boyfriend celebrated five years together yesterday. She wrote him this “poem”…
Boyfriend
A poem by Allie Brosh
I like you.
Sometimes when you’re sleeping
I watch you
Did you know you make train noises in your sleep?
Probably not.
It would be weird if you knew about that and kept doing it anyway
I’m glad you found the toenail clippers yesterday
I thought you were lying when you said you didn’t move them. I still can’t be sure that you didn’t just plant them there so that you could conveniently “find them” and make me feel stupid for blaming you for their disappearance, but I’ll let it go for now.
Also, thank you for buying me chips yesterday
And for letting me eat parmesan cheese straight out of the container
Do you want to go see Avatar?
The End.
Boyfriend participates from time-to-time through Allie.
Goofy-love. Not that it’s missing from my life, it’s just not as frequent as it used to be. So we revert to emailing each other funny stuff, like this…
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock…
Who’s there?

I guess we are at the “groaner-love” stage of life.
If it makes you feel any better, I find you goofy. 😉

I love that. “I have no idea what she’s saying here but I feel bad.”
hehe
.-= Absurdist´s last blog pithWhy Your Money Is In Good Hands In Banks =-.
@injaynesworld: well, thank ya, ma’am.
@Absurdist: I love that too. There is another video where she mumbles for a good 90 seconds that you can’t understand!
Sometimes, people think they’re being charmingly goofy when they’re just being annoyingly stupid. I predict, with some degree of smug self-assurance, that both those couples are going to be separated in a few years.
I think Allie’s boyfriend makes train noises in his sleep because he’s trying to drown out the noise of her poetry.
.-= Larry Wallberg´s last blog pithNews from Mayberry =-.
@Larry: since divorce is 50% probably a pretty safe bet.
Loved your news from Mayberry from HL. Unreal what happens in Eastern KY. Nothing like that happens here in W. KY. (riiiiiight)
West Kentucky? Is that a state? Please don’t confuse me, because I’m still trying to figure out how to tell Kentucky from Tennessee.

@Larry: We’re all one big, related family. We have pot farms, meth labs, coal, dog fights, cock fights, etc. just like you boys.
We also have a lot of big holes in the ground where we can throw tires and refrigerators.
