Some people will stop at nothing to get what they want...I like these people.
Here's the story:
I'm travelling, I'm tired, I just want to sleep. But my best friend, Jill Bauland, wants me to come over. After many failed attempts to lure me by using food, cash and booze, she finally reached a new low.
I get a voicemail from her nephew (and my lil buddy) Hunter- he's 6. "Hi Laura, this is Hunter, please come over because I love you. I'm making you a Valentine, cuz I love you. Come over, and how do you beat the Matrix game?"
How do you say no to that? Especially since Hunter and I are the undefeated champions of Battleship. Who sunk your Battleship? WE DID!!
Anyway, so now there's Jill and Hunter- plus Hunter's Sister Asia, who is bound to be a supermodel, and little brother Nathan- who will destroy all of you at Super Mario Bros Melee...and of course, the food, cash and booze....
So what did I do?
I went home and went to bed. Like I said, I was tired.
Here's a pic of the kids: 
and heres one of Jill and the boys: 
Yeah, good call. You can never trust the small kids nowadays. First you are playing some games, next thing you know you are tied up to a chair. Besides, I wouldn't trust a girl who was carrying a bunny like in the picture.

How can you say no to the Jill Bauland? The Jill Bauland is much bigger than you and I. The Jill Bauland will forgive, but never forget... but you need the sleep. You're a hard working gal, Laura. Thug Life.

Tsk Tsk Tsk... after all that you still threw them to the side. I love it >:3 Youre better than me though. I probably wouldn't have even listened to my voicemail.

Hey the Jill Bauland's kinda cute... What is she doing later on?... Oh yeah, I forgot, she's getting married.
Posted by: GamingUnity | February 18, 2005 at 02:53 PM
Ask Jill Bauland if she's interesting in having me as her entire bachelorette party. You know, one last fling?
Just don't remind her of that one time in Budapest. With the goat...and the surfboard...
Forget it.

Can't resist kids, but when you're zonked.. the sleep really takes the cake.
But jeez kids really can bring out a weakness. Oo,
Hope you get enough zz this weekend.
Take care

i see you have a heart after all, that mean the thug has a soft spot for the boys of the world. seems like it after the valentines day show. hehe

Good decision to sleep. What is it with kids today and their strange ability to get whatever they want? Man, I'm glad I'm not having any kids...
Btw, good show last night. Except couldn't you have picked someone better than Kyle Busch? Like Kevin Harvick or Dale Jarrett?Oh well... Too late now.

Wow.... sounds like something I'd do..... except for the part about the kids, and the stuff, and.... yeah.
But hey...
1. You got back not too long ago from Jill's wedding in Ireland.
2. If you love kids, that's great.... but me.... I blind them. (The story behind that is way too long for a simple comment, though.)
...That said, you were wise to go home and saw some logs.

I don't know if it's wise to deny Jill Bauland in favor of personal sleep... you know what they say... you don't tug on Superman's cape... you don't spit into the wind.... you don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with Jill....
this has disaster written all over it.

Evil!!! Oh the worst is when they call you Auntie/Uncie so-and-so.
However you never said what food and how much cash. Nothing like going to bed full and rich...I'm just saying

I hate it when they use the kids on ya..It's such a cheap trick..But I challenge that Nathan kid at Melee..I don't think he can take me!! I'll crush a kids dreams..if only to boost my own sad ego.
Posted by: PsyFoob | February 20, 2005 at 03:24 AM
Yo its asia (the one that laura was describing). i don't think anyone can crush nathan at melle but if u think u can... think it.
Posted by: asia | February 20, 2005 at 05:31 AM
Trust me, being an aunt/uncle sucks.
Why didn't you get someone like Jr. instead of that dork? Oh well...be careful what you wish for...

Those kids are adorable!
Posted by: Daggett | February 20, 2005 at 11:13 AM
Eveyone and their mom could beat me at that game ive never played it and dont have any desire to so i conceed that yeah when it comes to those smash brothers games everyone is my better. but nobody better bring that noise when it comes to tekken cause when that ends i'll own your soul. eddie gordo.
Posted by: Malcolm | February 20, 2005 at 01:28 PM
Hey asia, I'm not startin' a fight or nothing, but I've been playing Smash Bros. since the original came out, but I'm sure he has some skills..Besides, I don't really want to crush a kid, as I usually let them win at the last second. I have much younger brothers of my own, and nieces and nephews so I know what it's like playing with kids. btw, tell him to keep schooling fools at Melee! If he gets a little better, he should enter a tournament..
