Things that make my boyfriend's eyes roll...and other such nonsense

This is a blog in which I intend to duly note interesting, awkward, and otherwise peculiar events that happen in my life. Please do not anticipate discovering the great profundity of Hannah, or finding a wealth of inspiration for your daily life. In fact, this blog will largely consist of anecdotes, puns, and lists. I love lists. If these do not appeal to you, I would avoid this blog at all costs.

I would like to begin a list at this very moment. This list is what I like to call "Things that make my boyfriend's eyes roll." I enjoy making his eyes roll more than almost anything else in the world.

Things That Make My Boyfriend's Eyes Roll:

1. I spent sometime at my boyfriend's house earlier this month. One evening at supper, I was struck with an opportunity to allow a pun to escape from my mouth. (Note the passive voice. I do not actively pursue such punnery. It just happens. It is not my fault.)  His mom was mentioning how she had not yet tackled a certain hake recipe. My immediate response was "Ha! Tackle! Fish!" Yes, my boyfriend's eyes rolled. Thankfully, his mom laughed. Whether it was out of sympathy, I do not know and do not wish to know.

2. The other evening, I was attempting to impress my boyfriend with my profound knowledge of the differences among meteors, meteorites, and meteoroids. However, somewhere along the way, I (shockingly) erred. I then proceeded to exclaim, "Ha! I was meteorWRONG about meteorRIGHTS." An eye-roll followed shortly thereafter.

3. I won't even go into the time I tried to explain the title of my blog to him.... But, I'm sure that is causing many eyes to roll. Not just his.

I suppose I should begin to keep my brilliant puns to myself.

Dewly noted.

Or not....
