So, I just got up off the computer and answered the doorbell's ring. This rather attractive young woman was standing opposite me across the threshold, and we proceeded to chat politely about the weather, school, and the product she was selling. I couldn't help but notice that she was really very pretty, and I flirted a bit with her(couldn't resist her accent  ), she was pretty friendly, but then regretfully had to go on her way.
Anyone else get cute solicitors? Or are the gross, sweaty types the ones that show up at your door?

I love messing with people who come to the door. Once a Jehovah's witness came to the door, so I quickly grabbed my pentacle necklace and put some fake blood on the corner of my mouth. Then I answered the door and asked if what they were doing was more important then me drinking my cats blood. They looked at me so funny and ran away xD.
Another time a guy cam to the door selling meat (I don't even want to know why he was selling meat door-to-door), so my mother and I are just like, "We're sorry, we don't eat meat." in the most horrified voices you can imagine. He looked like he had just ran over a puppy with a lawnmower xD.
Why is it, people always repeat their mistakes, I wonder?
Why is it, that they love blood, and seek conflict?

I met a really hot Jehovah's Witness once.
And actually, lots and lots of Mormons are cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute. It's a shame, really. At least we got Ben.

The plumber came today, and his assistant was really cute. Granted he was 30ish, but still, not bad

Oh yes, Mormons are cute. So cute. Lol.
We don't get many door-to-door solicitors. Phone solicitors are bad, but I just unplug the phone. Thats what cells are for!
Love You Guys!

Actually, I hear that the contract or whatever it is keeping the "Do Not Call" register going ends in a few years. And it doesn't always work...

Meh, it's worked mostly for me.
Not that it matters, I'm not really home much

Yeah... half the time I let the phone ring. The only people who call me on my home phone are the people from school I don't really like to talk to. And all the other people call for my parents or something. So if the home call doesn't work, they just call my parents' cell phones. It all works out.

Although I try to be as least materialistic as possible, I couldn't live without my cell phone.

When telemarketers cal lI do something like this.
Tele:"Hello are you intersed in..."
Me: "Sorry really busy right now, could you give me your home number and I can get back to you?"
T: "sorry I can't do that"
M: "whay you don't want strangers calling your house?"
T:"well no of course not."
M:"WELL HOW THE HELL DO YOU THINK I FEEL!" *slams phone*
Where my shame gland should be, there is a second awesome gland.
Don't make me practice my interior decorating on your internal organs o.O
The sky isn't the limit, it's a suggestion.

Hahaha.. yeah... the meat salesman wouldn't have too much luck at my house. We're all bloody vegetarians  (*snort* 'bloody vegetarians'.. that's a funny phrase ) But yeah.. even if I wasn't, I'm not quite so sure I'd accept meat (or any other potentially hazardous item that you would ingest) from a random door-to-door salesman XD
Funny stories
We like to mess with the Jehovah's Witnesses and other religious missionaries that show up from time to time. But the Jehovah's are the easiest to screw with, and the most persistent. But we enjoy their little pamphlets; they are endlessly amusing Though they do have a few good things in there... it's still friggen hilarious that they believe most of that stuff 
I once made a Jehovah's Witness joke in front of a person whom I didn't know actually was one... that was interesting
But yeah XD

I generally get the boy scouts. Or the high schoolers going door to door selling cheesecakes or shit. If I'm home alone, I usually just don't answer (cause I don't like dealing with people) and I have a window by the door that I can look out and see who it is. As for cute ones? Nope.

I was standing and talking to two of my friends, and one of them points and says somewhat amusedly, "Look, its the mo-mos!" Turns out my other friend was a Mormon. Needless to say, the conversation died...

That guy from Latter Days was CUUUUUUUUUTE.
And because Jurion has already mentioned it, I must note that Ben is REALLY attractive. Hey Ben! Wassup?
Here’s what I know about the realm of possibility—it is always expanding, it is never what you think it is. Everything around us was once deemed impossible. From the airplane overhead to the phones in our pockets to the choir girl putting her arm around the metalhead. As hard as it is for us to see sometimes, we all exist within the realm of possibility. Most of the limits are of our own world’s devising. And yet, every day we each do so many things that were once impossible to us.

I don't get solicitors. Our house scares people. I get ten year olds selling candy bars and popcorn...
The landscapers though... I must admit... hmm...
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but yours is worth a million and three to me.

Bah...we either get really old ladies, or Brownies selling Girl Guide cookies. No cute guys or girls... *sigh*
I once mistook some friends coming to visit my mother as solicitors... 'twas embarassing. 
And I'll agree with Jordan and Jurion - Ben's smile is as lovely as his personality. Although, he's been hiding these days... which makes me sad.
I miss him. (I also miss his amazing blogs and posts...)
