I Love Tina Fey

I also love Barry Manilow, Girlmore Girls, and to beat up my big brothers, but today I'm focusing on my SNL crush.

My love for Tina began with Stefanie's love for Tina. I do everything my family does as long as I think it's cool, and loving Tina is still cool in my book. So anyways, 30 rock is starting soon and I can't wait to see it again. My friend stole my first season and I'm getting it back soon, with or without violent force.

But look at me, I'm rambling again. So, Tina.

Again, love her. But when I found out that she's married, she has his daughter, and he writes all the music for 30 Rock I was heart broken. So I went out and found someone better, SO SUCK IT TINA! But I still really do love Tina. (OCTOBER 30TH for anyone interested, that's not Halloween right? There are 31 days in October right? I just did the knuckle count thingy and decided that there isn't, and then checked a calender and decided there are. So OCTOBER 30TH!)

My oh my what an impact she's made on my life. I wish she'd just date Alec Baldwin and get the whole ruse over with. We'll just have to see in Season 3 won't we?

So this is my lady love.

She's pretty great, and by that I mean pretty and great! I'm gonna get some kissin for that one. (My dancing in my chair in this computer lab has made everyone uncomfortable so I'm just going to move on)

We're gonna to get married on top of a mountain, and there's going to be flutes playing and trombones and flowers and garlands of fresh herbs. And we will dance till the sun rises. And then our children will form a family band. And we will tour the countryside and you won't be invited.

This is all true, except for the first person to guess this movie will be invited. VIP to our family band. Syd will be our lead Oboist. Jon might join in for some recorder work.

Just as a reminder to all of you, Sydney does have a blog but I can't currently let you all see it. So be sure to beg, nag, and agitate til she lets you.

I'm on a roll! That's 4 blogs in 4 days. Maybe I'll take a few months to calm down.

You can't watch these and not smile ear to ear. I know I did. I like the Jonny Fedora one the best.

Hmmm, So i just found out that that babe I keep talking about, Syd, well she has a blog. But i'm the only one who's allowed to read it. You'll all have to beg her to read it next time you see her. She'd love to hear from you, not too happy that you're asking to read her blog.

Anyways, i just figured i'd write on one family that it kinda similar to my family. At least the brothers. The Bluths. My favorite past time.



The oldest bluth, Gob (Pronounced JOB hard "O") he's the oldest, the attention getter, the magician. This one is my brother Jon (Pronouned like John) Also he has a son, STEVE HOLT, the toughest most awesome high school quarterback to ever repeat his senior year 3 times. Like Roman, except that Roman will graduate high school early, just like his father.

Gob



Steve Holt



Secondly, is Micheal. He's very down to earth. He's an amazing business man and has a quick wit that rivals the gilmore girls. This is my brother Derrick.

Micheal



Finally, there is Buster. He's a momma's boy. He is scholar. He is awesome. He is ME.

This Is Me.....


These are the brothers of my family. Come to a Sunday dinner sometime, we'll be more than glad to show you....

Alright. I know, stop and take a breath, I'm back. My sister Stefanie tagged me and I don't think it fair to leave her to do this alone like I always do. I can't promise I'll keep updating often. I can promise that the next 21 questions will reveal the David Parker Raynes that everyone has known and lllllllliked for years, or months, at least since I passed the hump of my awkward stage. I never had a hump anywhere on my body, but now I'm just rambling.

1. Did you date someone from your high school?: Almost, many times. Damn teenage girls and their playful ploys.

2. What kind of car did you drive?: A '63 Ford Falcon, a'96 Jeep Cherokee. And I never wrecked either of them. I wish I could have driven the cow. (Reference to Stefanie's blog answer)

3. What is your most embarrassing moment in high school?: My date kissed another guy on the last dance of Homecoming. I suppress this memory, but thanks for bringing it back up.

4. Were you a party animal?: No. Just No.

5. Were you considered a flirt?: Probably. (Reference Damn Girls in the first answer)

6. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir?: 9th grade choir and thespian. But we don't talk about those days in my family.

7. Were you a nerd? : If I say yes, it's possible i wasn't but am just trying to sound cool like i was in high school. If i say no, i most definately was a nerd. No, i was not a nerd.

8. Were you on any varsity teams?: I went to one Ping Pong club meeting. That's half as many football games that i attended.

9. Did you get suspended/expelled?: Every teacher loved me. Or felt bad for me. The acne.

10. Can you still sing the fight song?: I graduated just 4 months ago, I couldn't do at graduation, i most certainly cannot do it here.

11. Who were your favorite teachers?: The one's who would let me eat at ernie's, slack off, and not tell my parents. Love you Mom.

12. Where did you sit during lunch?: 10th grade, i sat by my locker listening to hot hot heat. I would have rocked the 80's. (Hot Hot Heat is not now and has never been an 80's band) 11th grade I ate at home and 12th grade i ate where ever there was food enough to support me.

13. School Mascot?: A tiger. I won't capitalize tiger cause...... Really?

14. Did you go to homecoming and with who?: First time, CC. Second time, A total Babe.

15. If you could go back and do it again, would you?: I kind of am right now. I still spend more time with my high school friends than any college friends i have....

16. What do you remember most about graduation?: Everything. It was longer than most, and my gown was not comforable.

17. Where did you go senior skip day?: I think i slept in.

18. Have you gained weight since then?: No. I've been going to the gym lately. All of 3 times in the past two and a half weeks.

19. Who was your prom date?: Rachel Smith, i gashed her leg up long boarding. I still feel bad about that. Then the babe. Again.

20. Are you planning on going to your 10 year reunion?: Sure, if nothing's good on TV

21. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself?: Wash your face more, and learn to coordinate clothing. (I know you're all thinking the same thing, but still no one's taught me. You're all lucky i don't wear my track shorts and disneyland shirt everywhere i go.(No i didn't run track and i've never been to disneyland (Yes, i just parenthed inside other paranths)))

Alright, i hope this suffices. I'll write next all about my High School ten year reunion.

Oh, and PS. Just so you know, i'm not even in my senior year yearbook. I really am just like buster from Arrested Development. Niether seen nor heard....
