After a little  discussion, we used our clinical training to diagnose him with Anonymous  Commenter Syndrome, however a rare strain where he actually comments as  himself.<\/p>\n<p>-I was having a meeting with Nick about things that annoy me. One of  them is overcoming being female in a dude\u2019s industry. Nick assured me  that he doesn\u2019t know anyone who hates me because I am a girl. \u201cPeople  hate you for real reasons, Brooke,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>-As usual I am doing yard work around the house. I am looking at the  lawn, perplexed how I am going to get the crap that has accumulated off  of it. I was thinking perhaps I could sweep, or even vacuum the yard.  Then I remembered rakes exist.<\/p>\n<p>-I am explaining to Keith how I have been really lazy all week, and I  blame it on being in between seasons. He agrees, and says, \u201cI live my  life on college breaks because that\u2019s when the best MTV specials are  on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-I have a minor crisis one day because Facebook Scrabble seems to  think I am not in the US or Canada and will not load. I tweet  frantically asking if Portland has been moved to Mexico or something.  Cory simply replies, \u201cI think it was the Louisiana Purchase.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-I opened the dishwasher to find it filled with a few inches of very  dirty water. We immediately begin the process of buying a new one,  because some things are that important. When I told Lisa about the  crisis, she simply replied, you can\u2019t just hand wash dishes?\u00a0 I replied,  \u201cPeople hand wash dishes?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"nate\" src=\"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/nate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/?p=454\" target=\"_blank\">-Spring came to Portland<\/a> last weekend and with it, a much needed excuse to BBQ. My boyfriend is a  vegetarian, preventing him from getting much enjoyment out of most of  the food that was there. As I raved over the bacon wrapped shrimp, he  seemed ambivalent. \u201cIt seems there\u2019s always something wrapped in bacon  at these things,\u201d he said. I reply, \u201cDuh, everything is better when  wrapped in bacon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-My neighborhood Arby\u2019s closed this week. I have no idea where I am  going to get curly fries any more. This is not funny, nor is it supposed  to be.<\/p>\n<p>-In the meeting I mentioned earlier, Nick and I came up with the  brilliant idea to do guest editions of Best Week Ever when Sarah\u2019s life  is actually interesting and she doesn\u2019t have time to write it.  Unfortunately, I am up first and have not been paying attention to my  life very well. I ask several people if I have done or said anything  funny recently. Jared finally replies, \u201cYou are not very funny, Brooke.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Archives Sarah\u2019s friends made her go to Vegas today.
