Barb is still sick. I haven't got an email from her or an IM so I can only assume she is still on her death bed.
And you know what? I am sick too. I am sick and tired of carrying this blog.
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. So Barb get better because honestly, I am nothing without you.
Well that is kind of a lie. I am actually a pretty big deal with or without you. But having someone to bounce ideas off of is really pretty great so if you can get back online that would be super.
Peace out.

Wind beneath my wings...
Barb is sick. We think it's SARS. According to my Magic 8 Ball the "Outlook is not so good". So when she dies and after I delete her myspace account I am going to say this at her memorial service where it will be more like a party because I am pretty sure Barb would want us all drunk. (Just got an IM conformation on the party thing. She says, and I quote, "its tru")
Barb, Barb... shit. Why did you get SARS!! Better question, where did you get SARS? I guess now that is neither here nor there. What is here are all of you friends. And we have been drinking a lot and Erin is pretty drunk now, and I think I saw Kelly passed out under the Chocolate Fondue Fountain and I am hallucinating right now because I think I see you standing in the back of the room. Oh wait. That is you!! Hey Barb! I guess Western Medicine is more advanced then we thought. Either that or you never had SARS and my 8 Ball was way off.
But if you had died of SARS I would have wanted to say this.
Thank you for always making sure there was some sort of chip and dip combo at Alex's parties. That was pretty awesome. And Thank You for always spending the night before Alex's parties to make Jell-O shots in those cute little cups. And I am sorry that my team beat your team at Cranium that time because I somehow guessed "HyperColor T-Shirts" and Ryan some how got my sculptureade for "Interview with the Vampire". I miss you betch.

What would Barb and Megan Do?
So Megan and I were sitting around talking about how happy and well adjusted we are. All that's well and good, but what does it all mean if we don't spread our wisdom to the masses? Our blog is the perfect forum to do that! So we decided to start this weekly advice column. Our readers are constantly pondering the question "What would Barb and Megan Do?" Now you can finally have the answer!
Dear Barb and Megan,
I eat when I am bored. What do you suggest I do?
- Famished in Fremont (PS. It's Megan)
Dear Famished,

Dear Famished,
Have you ever tried to physically hurt yourself every time you feel hungry (get bored). That way you will associate pain with eating. If you ask me, it's fool proof. However if that doesn't work, might I recommend recreational drugs.
Good Luck! xoxo Megs (me)
Dear Barb and Megan,
why don't people like me?
Unpopular in Petaluma
Dear Unpopular,
It's hard to answer this question since I've never actually met you. But I think the best thing for you to do is take a long hard look in the mirror. And I don't mean that figuratively. Find a mirror (preferably a full length one) and set aside about 3-4 hours a day to look at yourself. The next step is to write down your flaws. Chances are people don't like you because you aren't perfect. So make yourself that way! Each week take a look at your list of flaws and make the necessary adjustments. If your nose is too big, get that puppy fixed. If you are a bit chubby, join the gym. After a few months I guarantee you will have more friends!
Perfectly Yours,
Barb

Point/Counterpoint.
Welcome to our first instalment of Point/Counterpoint. Enjoy!
It's a question for the ages. Something I know I will struggle with days, weeks even years to come. Growing up in a small town in West Virginia I never thought that this sort of question would come into my world and haunt me like the ghost of my Christmas's past. I hope my children never have to ask themselves this question because the answer is too difficult...
Which is better Facebook or Myspace? Because Barb has no original thoughts of her own and can only write on the subject after I have blazed the way. I will take Facebook and Barb can kiss my ass.
Point:
Facebook, first created for college students to chat and meet people from various classes is like the Harvard of social websites, Myspace is basically Cal State East Bay*. First started as a secret society (if you will) because one needed an academic email address to join, no .com or.tv would get a page in the esteemed Facebook only the .edu was your entrance exam. This way the crazies were kept at bay. "OMG, wasn't that test so hard. Mr. Smith sux!" were popular comments on the Facebook "wall". It was a place to vent your frustrations from the day with fellow classmates who understood where you were coming from and could commiserate with you. But the real reason Facebook is better than Myspace... It's not blocked at work.

Counterpoint:
Oh Megan, so simple and so misguided. The very reason what you think makes Myspace inferior is precisely what makes it better! As you stated, Facebook (at least when it started) keeps "the crazies at bay." What good is the Internet if not to talk to/hook up with crazy people?? Myspace offers an outlet for all of us to release our "inner crazies." Rather than just being a forum to complain about lame professors, Myspace is a way for people to truly express themselves. Let out your inner slut! Call someone a douche bag! Add songs to your profile that you would never admit you actually liked! You don't even have to use your real name! Your name can be a lyric from your favorite song (to prove how cool you are) or a line from a poem (to prove how smart you are). Personally, if I am on a social networking site, I want to stay as mysterious as possible. Isn't that the point?
So in summation,
Facebook: LAME!
Myspace: STILL THE SHIZ
Rebuttal:
Wow Barb your rambling incoherence almost passed as a well thought out counterpoint... let's see if I Super Poke you later.
Rebuttal Rebuttal:
Fine, don't Super Poke me. I am sooo posting a bulletin about this.
And there you have it folks! Tune in next week when we take another topic and make it seem important.
xoxo
Meg and Barb
*I ain't here to put down schools or whatever but that is a pretty lame name for a college. Papa Romero did go to Cal State Hayward so I'm not gonna front but once you change the name of a college after the side of the bay I grew up on, well then you lost me my friend.

How to...
So many celebs these days like to thrust their political views on all of us helpless Americans. For those of us that have an idea of what type of candidate we want to support we simply ignore their political come ones... however for the other 75% of the world that choose to support whoever Kathrine Heigl is, we have created a celebrity "How to..." on how best to get all the little people to swing your way.
You're Welcome!
Step One: Don't take a shower or if you do, don't wash your hair because, as everyone knows, only rich people shower daily. And the last thing you want to do is appear rich.
Step Two: Wear a hat. This is your chance to look totally normal and let me tell you Mr/Ms celebrity, normal people wear hats to seem less famous.
Step Three: Drive to your local elementary school/town hall/community pool clubhouse in your hybrid (Democrat supporter) or Hummer (Republican supporter)
Step Four: Do whatever keeps you in front of a possible camera aka, sit at the front desk and smile.
Step Five: When asked your political views for a sound bite or quote say it loud and clear. This is your time to show your political prowess. This is also a good chance to let all the "young people" out there in America know how hip it is to vote. Voting is the new black! So be sure to say something like "Vote or (fill in the blank)." But whatever you do, do not say "Rock the Vote." It's so 90s.
Step Six: Be sure to get your photo taken with whatever politician you support. If you're supporting a Democrat, you should laugh and try to look like you are having a conversation about something light, like your shared love of Aerosmith or the new Judd Apatow movie. This will make you and the politician appear very "cool" and thus encourage the "young people" to vote for them. If you are a Republican, you should always stay serious. This lets the people know that your mind is on "important" matters and not frivolous ones like rock 'n' roll.
Step Seven: After a long day on the campaign trail you deserve to have a meal at a very populated restaurant (make sure to wear your "Vote or (fill in the blank)" button) where you are sure to run into the paparazzi. Try The Ivy, but remember to seem annoyed that all those cameras are in your face. I mean you are just trying to have a meal at a super trendy eatery in Hollywood, who knew it would be littered with people trying to take your picture?? Those pesky photogs.
Step Eight: After you've done your part on the campaign trail, it never hurts to wear a t-shirt supporting your candidate in an interview or two. If you're appearing on TRL, make sure to wear a cool funny one like "Obama is my Home Skillet" or something. Again, the young people will get the hint that if they don't vote they will never be as cool as their fave fab celeb.
Step Nine: Make sure you remember to actually vote on Election Day. This is kind of an important step. Don't pull a Paris!
You're done! And who said celebrities don't make a difference?
