This is me at a Bachelorette party. Duh.<\/p><\/div>\n

I went to a bachelorette party two weekends ago, or, as they call them in Canada, a Stagette party. The first night we were in Seattle and we premiered our television show power hour<\/a>. It needs a few adjustments but let’s call it 90% finished. (For those of you curious, I think the big premiere will be at the very end of June.) Then, we traveled to Vancouver, BC for the rest of the long weekend. 8 girls, 1 condo, 1 amazing time.<\/p>\n

The stories of bicycles built for two and the best friends a girl could ask for are not that entertaining for outsiders. Besides, what happens at a Stagette party, stays at a Stagette party.<\/p>\n

But, I did come to a funny realization while I was there.<\/p>\n

The girls would tell stories about their significant others and molding them from bachelors to grown adults. Being one of the single ladies<\/a> there (hey, what up you other two!), I didn’t have any of these sorts of stories to tell… and actually found myself on the other end of them.<\/p>\n

The first was a simple story of bobble-heads. My friend recently got married and found that her husband thought bobble-heads were an appropriate decoration. She had to inform him that they, indeed, were not and put them away. Bobble-heads are toys. Living rooms should be for pictures of art or something (I wasn’t listening that closely, clearly). She put them away, only to find a lone bobble-head, a couple weeks later, perched on the windowsill. I think it just happened but she thought this might be an ongoing thing – she puts them away, he brings one out until she notices. All the other girls lamented about this terrible problem.<\/p>\n

I finally spoke up. “Ummm, I do that. Emily and I have had the same fight,” I said.<\/p>\n

Emily, my loving and wonderful roommate of three years, immediately knew what I was talking about.<\/p>\n

I have a three set of Storm bobble-heads (Swin Cash, Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson) and once the set was completed, I set them out on the mantel above the fireplace. Then, Emily told me no and put them away. I pulled them out again and they remained there until Emily noticed and put them away. I took them back out. And so on…<\/p>\n

Oh but it gets worse.<\/p>\n

“Posters on the wall? I mean seriously, who still thinks posters are an acceptable form of decoration?” someone said.<\/p>\n

My room<\/a> is covered with two Kelly Clarkson posters, one poster of Fast & Furious<\/em> (not to be confused with The Fast and the Furious<\/em>. Also, thanks Jeff), and one very amazing cardboard life-sized cutout of Jordana Brewster coming out of a cake.<\/p>\n

Oh but there’s more.<\/p>\n

“T-shirts on the wall? Who hangs t-shirts on the wall?”<\/p>\n

I do. And it happens to be my Deathly Hallows<\/a> winning beirut team shirt. We won two tournaments in a row as team Death Hallows and even had uniforms. It was a shirt I wore regularly until it tore a bit. The sentiment of the shirt however, does not require that it be tossed in the garbage. No, I hang it proudly for the world to see.<\/p>\n

So, it turns out, I’m a bachelor. I’m not prepared for real life or real life decorations. Some poor girl is going to have to come along and try to whip this<\/em> into shape one day. But for now, as a single lady, I do what I want<\/a>. Bring on more Jordana and Kelly posters!<\/p>\n

(And yes, if you must know, I projectile vommed in a McDonald’s parking lot on the way home from the Stagette party that weekend. What’s it to ya?)<\/p>\n
