23 Reasons No One Likes Us When We're 23

...or "Why We Don't Have Boyfriends."

Six years later, some of it still applies, and some of it reflects how utterly witty we thought we were at the ripe old age of 23. Oh, who am I kidding -- we still think we're utterly witty!

Since then, Beth and Kris have each gotten married, while Kendra, Becki and I have all managed to sustain long term relationships -- 2, 3 and 4 years, respectively. And now, while we may not be 23 anymore, it could be a good idea to go back and reflect on the words of wisdom from our younger selves. It's like an illustration of "what not to do" this time around. Good times, people. Good times.

YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED that this is difficult to see. Therefore, if you click here, you can see it LARGE in PDF form over on my CastPost site.

Lol! You girls are a hoot! Love those illustrations--you're a master stick-figurist.

btw, theboyfriend read your comment on my blog about potentially doing a drawing of the weekend's.. uh.. "festivities".. and he's now determined to make something drawing-worthy go down :-)

How great is that??? I LOVE it! Now I want to call my girlfriends and do something similar only I can't draw and I have no imagination so I guess I'm out. I second Miladsya -- you could sell them!

I think people are stupid their entire lives, they just get a little less dump each consecutive year... though I could be utterly and entirely wrong here.

Stephanie said...

Amber I think you missed your calling: You should create a comic strip for the Sunday funnies entitled, "Adventures in Stick-Land." I believe it'd be wildly popular! lol

Kiki said...
