embarrassing admission...

had a really good night with a good friend last night, a friend who is an important person in my life and it had been too long since i had spent quality time with him.

towards the end of the night, we had gone through a bottle of wine and were watching saturday night live* and during one of the commercial breaks, a preview for a movie with eugene levy comes on. and the following conversation ensues:

e: so, can i admit something really embarrassing to you?
j: sure.
e: i find eugene levy strangely attractive.
j: (*pause*) wow, emily. you might as well have just taken me into the bathroom with you while you were taking a shit. i mean, that's the kind of thing that you preface by saying that you have something you need to say out loud but everyone should cover their ears.

best. response. ever.

and of course i did my best to convince my friend that by saying i find eugene levy strangely attractive, i don't mean that i necessarily want to sleep with him or see him naked (um, ew!). i just mean that i have a weird little brain crush on him, the way i develop crushes on professors or bartenders. but despite my attempts, i was unable to convince him that i hadn't just revealed something horrifying about myself.

and so now, friends, i pass that admission along to you all. merry christmas!

*for all those who caught SNL last night, that bit with the spelling bee? UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE! and not just because i love spelling bees, either -- it was brilliant!
