"You have to take a chance on something sometime" - Jim Halpert.

The other day I was at Elisa's house and she told me that I reminded her of a guy from Even Stevens, the great show on the Disney Channel. Anyway, she said I looked like Bobby - Ren Stevens' boyfriend from the show. I did some investigating and found out "Bobby" is played by Brandon Davis. In fact, I even found a picture of him for you to judge whether or not I look like that guy (or if he looks like me, depending on how you see it).

That comment from Elisa made me wonder. I knew who Bobby was, so I was not offended by the comment. But little comments like that could end friendships. A few years ago I was hanging out with a friend and she introduced me to one of her friends. Her first reaction was to tell me I looked Freddie Prinze Jr. I wasn't sure whether or not that was a good thing or not. I suppose it is a good thing since he's got Sarah Michelle Gellar, so he must have some good looking qualities. But if I told a girl she looked like Kate Hudson, trying to hint she is hot, and this girl thinks Kate Hudson is ugly, then I'm in big trouble. I think it's all a matter of perspective. If some girl who thought Pauley Shore was hot came up to me and said I looked like him, I'd go home and cry. I'm just waiting for the day some girl comes up to me and says I remind her of Brad Pitt.

Telemarketters these days. They have the nerve to call at 8AM on a Saturday morning, or 7PM during dinner time. The majority of telemarketters have either thick accents or a depressed voice. Why would I want to take a survey or listen to you if you have an accent or don't even want to talk to me. This is why I think telemarketters should only hire people who have experience in the 1-900 business, if you know what I mean, and I think you do. If some woman telemarketter who has the voice of a 1-900 superstar called me up, I would drop everything I was doing and talk to her. She probably could even get me to subscribe to horrible magazines like Dog World or Furniture Monthy. And all you ladies know you wouldn't hang up on a male telemarketter who has the voice of George Clooney but the phone experience of Ron Jeremy.

I now have a week off from school. I have no idea how I will spend it. I hope I can get something productive done. If you have any suggestions or requests, I will do my best to meet them. I guess I'll go call a telemarketter now. I mean...do my chores.
