A: I did! I DID. I fell in love a little?
M: Thank you. THANK YOU. Because can we not agree on this?
M: THAT IS A HANDSOME MAN.
A: He has shaped up real nice, yes. And he OWNED Tiny Dancer.
M: He has moves.
A: He does, yes. I feel I may have underestimated him. Plus:
A: It's like he attended the same Hot Suit Symposium as Gosling.
M: Yesssss. This feels as good a time as any to confess that I danced with him at a party when he was fresh off of Third Rock From the Sun and still looked like this:
A: MARIANNE CANADA.
M: I WANT A DO OVER.
A: MARIANNE CANADA.
M: I know. I KNOW. I punch myself in the face every day.
A: Between this and the Liev Schreiber story I am officially disappointed in you.
M: No one is more disappointed than I am, trust me.
A: But, he really had to grow up first so I think you can forgive yourself this one.
M: He was SO SKINNY. Painfully skinny. But still I should have sensed his potential.
A: Marianne, he's still a tiny pocket person. You know this.
M: He is taller than me. Not by a lot, but that's my only rule.
A: Well, so the Internet claims. I usually shave an inch or two off those heights. I mean, really, Tom Cruise? You're 5'7". Sure.
M: But I'm saying I stood NEXT TO HIM. He is two inches taller than me.
A: How tall are you?
M: 5'9" if I stand up very straight.
A: Internet claims he is also 5'9". Hmm.
M: I'd put him at a solid 5'10".
A: Fair enough. Not like it matters, you missed your chance.
M: BUT WHO CARES LOOK AT HIMMMMM:
A: Well, that's my day made.
Oh my gosh please explain how you danced with him at a party!
ReplyDeleteJealous!!
ReplyDeleteI do see your point here. But...5'10"? Then how the heck tall is Stephen Merchant? 6'11"?
ReplyDeleteHe's 6'7"! He's basically a giant.
DeleteI always thought he was shorter than me and that prevented me from finding him fully attractive, but I'm 5'9" and knowing he's (possibly, probably) taller than me makes it so much better. I love me some JGL.
ReplyDeleteYou guys totally remind me of characters in the book "Attachments" by Rainbow Rowell.
ReplyDeleteNot only is it a cute book, but the emails of the two friends are just like your conversations.
Marianne was just talking about this! Now I have to read it.
DeleteTom Cruise is like 5'3". No one in Hollywood is as tall as they (or their IMDB pages) say.
ReplyDeleteYes! This was my point. Tom Cruise is 5'7" in his wildest dreams.
