Why!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

...do people say 'fantabulous.' gross.

...do I have two full time jobs. 1) regular job. 2) wedding planning.

...did the lady at the post office ask me what kind of stamps I wanted if she was just going to give me something else.

...have I consumed 6 glasses of water so far today and still do not have to pee. where is it all going?

...did I walk down a gross and deserted alley in order to avoid interacting with the Greenpeace lady for a second time.

...do people take naked pictures of their kids and put them on facebook/blogs. Gross. Remember the days when pictures like that stayed in private photo albums and they were only shared when a family member was trying to embarrass you? I do. I liked those days. I am not offended by naked babies. In fact, I plan on allowing my children to waddle around in only diapers for as long as possible. But I'll probably clothe them for any pictures I make public.

...do my elbows hurt.

That is all.

P.S. Forgive my lack of question marks. I randomly take issue with certain punctuation and then avoid it if at all possible. Exclamation points, for example, when used sarcastically make me laugh. But when used for real make me break out in hives. Facebook has made me use more exclamation points than I ever thought I would use in my life. You see, I find that if I don't use them on facebook, I come off as bitchy and toneless (one could argue that I am those things in real life, so I should be those things in my virtual life as well. hush.)

Example:

Happy Birthday
vs.
Happy Birthday!! (two, because 1 seems lame and 3+ seems slutty)

Of course, If all I can come up with to write to you on your birthday is "Happy Birthday!!" it's possible that I shouldn't be telling you happy birthday at all because I clearly don't care enough to write something clever or meaningful about our relationship on your day.

Now, as much as I'm annoyed with the ! and the ?, I don't mind them so much when used together. I think because when used together, it is an emotion I completely identify with.

!? (Shocked, Disbelief, Are you for realz!?!?!?!?) Uh huhhh. Love that combination.

Example based on a conversation I recently had with a coworker:
Her: Did you know babies are born without kneecaps??
Me: What!?!?! No.
Her: Yeah, no kneecaps. They just aren't there.
Me: Too bad for babies.

I do not know if it is true that people are not born with kneecaps. I did not fact check. But you get the idea. !?

Do you like how my P.S. turned into an entirely different (and longer) post!?!?!
