A quality May 5, 2007
Foolishness , trackbackI’ve just discovered a rare and beautiful quality in me. Anyone who lives with or around any kind of woman will agree with me that this quality is rare, thus it is beautiful.
Well, here it is: I can accept a compliment.
I don’t mean to brag here, it’s a simple truth (and only Jesus). I’m sure we’re all familiar with this scenario.
Person one: Hey, there’s a photo of you, you look pretty good there.
Person two (woman): OMG! You saw a picture of me? Let me see it! Ugh, gross, gag, puke! How can you say that? I look like death warmed over! Who took that picture? That’s horrible! Delete it, delete it now! (Runs off weeping….)
Now, when you’re around Jules.
Person one: Hey, there’s a photo of you, you look pretty good there.
Jules: Yeah, I was pretty hot that night. PTL!
Well, there’s a little peek into my soul, folks. And it didn’t cost you a cent.

hahah. i’ve been reading your blog for awhile but i had to comment on this particular post, it made me chuckle. and your silent screaming egg video cracks me up everytime… “something forming between us.. i couldn’t quite put my finger on it!” priceless. GBY!
true…..
And GBY Joykie. Glad we’re making people smile
Now, that is one AMAZING quality Jules!
Really, we could use more of that. Doesn’t everyone hate it when we act like Person one? It makes them sound like they actually love the attention and are just saying that cause they want you to keep saying how much they like it. - It has just the opposite effect.
Two words to describe Person1 = False Humility
:)
“Death warmed over” I like that expression. I don’t think I’ve ever heard it before. Thanks.
True Jules. But the scene is not complete without your sarcastic tone of voice and your priceless facial expressions. You should make another video. Hey! Great idea! Now we have something to do at the office when I get there… Hee hee
