Happy Birthday, Jon!

Things that will always and forever remind me of Jon Merrill, like the way I feel like I'm in 3rd grade (for the first time) when I smell Hot Fries, in the best way possible...

  • Sting
  • Tori Amos
  • red shoes
  • orange cars
  • grape vodka*
  • screwdrivers
  • Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, as sung by Harry Connick Jr.
  • Crimson Tide and Sleepless in Seattle
  • Beetlejuice and Groundhog Day
  • Mother's Boys (one of my most favorite things ever)*
  • Jamie Lee Curtis, in general (on account of how Mother's Boys is one of my most favorite things ever)
  • Mr. Jones (the movie -- not that I think of it that often but, oh, when I do)
  • Jeff Bridges in Fearless, The Big Lebowski, and The Vanishing*
  • Matt Damon in Rounders, The Departed, and The Good Shepherd
  • Fight Club
  • Previews
  • Infomercials (esp. Dr. Ho, the upside-down trash bag, and the slot machines)*
  • Trivia*
  • Poker
  • 5am casino breakfasts*
  • Pretty much every time someone says something funny
  • Every single time someone says something stupid*
*Alternate list: Reasons I wish Jon lived in Houston

I am honored by your list but we both know I am not nearly as endearing as that list makes me out to be. But thank you. And don't be surprised if I do move to Houston some day. Soon.
