Anyhoo, I MUST be madly in love with Elizabeth Marie
Hello Lizzy’s Lovelies!
I’m her non-fashionista bloggy pal, crazypants LiLu from Livit, Luvit. You may know me as the unfortunate soul who started the viral STD known as TMI Thursdays.
Now, I really don’t mean this as a cop out, but I’ve been reading Lizzy for a while, and her comments, too. I’ve noticed that not only she, but a lot of you, her readers, are in that precarious “looking for love but I’m not really sure if it’s out there for me and if it was, I’m not so sure I’m ready for it/want it/deserve it, anyway” place.
So, I’m hoping that this, my favorite post I’ve ever written, actually, will help to remind y’all that YES, YOU FREAKING DO, and also, that it really, really is out there. After all, if I can find someone with a sense of humor as f*cked up as mine? Anyone can find their match. Trust
You just have to find that special man who can handle your brand of crazy…
I’m a wee bit crazy. Just a little. Well, maybe slightly more than a little. Actually, I might be sort of absolutely, completely, bat-shit insane. (Don’t tell anyone.)
And you know what? Every single girl in the world is exactly like me. We’re all effing crazy. WOMEN, as a rule, are Crazy.
(Let’s get this straight, though- I’m not talking I-probably-need-meds crazy, I’m talking, I want you to WANT to do the dishes crazy. Biiiiiig difference.)
And men? Well, that’s easy. Men are DUMB
Guys are very simple creatures. Most (straight) men fall somewhere between a golden retriever (the high end) and a sweet potato (the low).
Disclaimer: Obviously, I am only talking about a man’s intelligence as it relates to women; i.e., their ability to not only PERCEIVE when something is wrong, but to know WHY said thing is upsetting, and, for the extremely advanced of the species, HOW to go about fixing said distressing event and/or situation.
Women, on the other hand, are insanely complicated. We think, we worry, we analyze Every. Little. Thing. We notice every tiny nuance of everything you (men) do or say, and then we rip it to nearly imperceptible shreds in our brains, considering the action and its potential meaning from all possible angles.
Then, inevitably, we decide upon whichever one is the least rational.
And we wallow. We don’t want to “bother” you with it. So instead, we sulk, we pout, we answer with one word. And finally at some point, when you, say, get annoyed because we sometimes forget to put a glass in the dishwasher instead of the sink, (totes hypothetical, of course), we freakthefuckout. It may be tears, it may be anger, but you can be sure there’s a whole lot more behind it. I promise.
Like I said, we’re effing crazy. What do you want?
THEREFORE, the trick, I believe, to finding the “perfect guy” is not at all about how he looks on paper. It’s not really about his job, his clothes, or whether he makes you laugh- those all help, yes, but they are not the most important thing.
The most important thing, my friend, is finding a guy who not only puts up with your crazy, he gets your crazy. Although we’re not really aware of it, this is what we mean when we say “he just GETS me.” What we’re actually saying is, He Gets My Kind of Crazy.
Conversely, when a man gets Your Kind of Crazy, he is no longer nearly as Dumb. You even realize his weaknesses as far as his Own Kind of Dumbness, and are willing to help him out with the little Bits of Crazy he doesn’t get. You throw him a bone now and then, as far as, “I’m upset BECAUSE,” because usually? He Gets It.
And thus is born a new axiom in my little world. Words to live by, if you will.
It’s all about finding a man who can handle her brand of crazy… and a woman who can handle his brand of dumb.
Thanks for letting me play, my love! See you soon… (e-hug)

Amen sister! You have totally nailed it all – the whole boy/ gal thing to a "T"! You need to be writing a book or fronting a chat show or something perhaps?
Thank you for the reminders lady! I will share a little more love today and laugh a lot more :p
xo,
Jessica
LiLu gives the best advice!! BIG thanks for this post!!
hahahaah that made me laugh! And I needed it!
Thank you for this post, darling!
FM~FP~AF
You are hell-i-va fun…thanks for the giggles!
LiLu, you're the best! This is just what I needed today.
LOL!!! HILARIOUS!!!!!!!
I love Liz and was distraught when I saw she wasn't posting BUT my, my, my you're a fantastic replacement!!!! I am now going in search of your own blog!
Thanks for breaking your vow and guest posting cause that was awesome!
Hahaa that was wonderful!! What a fabulous girl!! I had a I want you to want to do the dishes crazy moment about 20 minutes ago… it didn't work though. Mat didn't want to do the dishes so I did them. Little does he know he will be doing them tonight.
Gorgeous guest posts doll!! And if its ok with you in 4 weeks I would love it if you could do a guest post on my blog while I move back to aus (I'll email you more about that closer to the time.)
Lots of love darling xxx
These are definitey brilliant words of wisdom. I've always been fully aware I was crazy (very few females will actually admit this). Thankfully found the guy who understands my crazy, probably because he's just as nuts. Anyhow, Liz – hope you're doing ok and we will so shop til we drop! I think it's hilarious you won a vibratori in a giveway by the way… haha.
Perfect analysis!
Thank gawd I've got my guy who GETS my CRAZY (and there's so much of it), lol.
every time i read one of your guest posts i say to myself i need to read her regularly…seriously i like her brand of crazy…
Totally true. Deep deep words of wisdom.
Oh do get better soon!
And hahaha this post made me laugh (in a good way!) Everything made perfect sense and LiLu has the funniest sense of humor when writing!
Perfect post, you really nailed it on the head and now I understand why I was single for so long…no guy could understand my brand of crazy! Thank God I finally found a guy who can.

So true! We all have our crazy quirks! I think my brand of crazy is slightly contagious, as the years go by, he's definitely picked up some crazy. Oh and S won't even load the dishwasher…he's not allowed, LOL.
xx
p.s. Lizzy Wizzy, you're so sweet! Love getting to know you too! I love that you love MCC ice cream
You have your grandmother's wedding ring too??? Love it. Only one drawback – not sure if it was the same for you – not all my aunts and cousins were pleased when it was left to me.
ha, you are too cute! i loved reading your piece!
I love this, totally nailed it! Women do have a hard time with holding things in and when we do finally let go it's like a thunder storm! We gotta stop from letting all the little things build up and yes, laugh A LOT more!
Yesssssssssss. You know I love this nutso lady. Wicked cool guest poster. Only the hubs could put up with my whiny arse. I told him I was mid maintenance when we met. SUCKER. ah ha ha ha
That was crazy good.
k lilu…you effin ROCK! so well put and 100% the truth. AMEN to that. lucky for me i have found my perfect match, who gets my crazy like no other.
Awww LiLu .. how do you do it !? Perfect mix of truth and humor. I love it. I am so crazy that I actually want to believe this post was written with ME in mind. lol.
I've been overanalyzing everything lately and this is helping me to understand men/women relationships better ! You're down-right correct ! Thanks for the advice!
P.S. Thanks Liz for convincing her to break her vow !!
hahaha – thank you for introducing me to an amazing new blog! So true in every way!
Brilliant! No other word can accurately describe this guest post!
Love this post!
Liz- that's amazing about TJ doing your makeup…hello, that's the coolest thing evahhh…do you have pics from the shoot??? Can you send them to moi!??!
Thanks love muffins… your kind words are making me happy in my pants!
Thanks for letting me play, my darling! xoxo
What an awesome post! I always say you will never find the perfect man b/c he does not exist, and if he does you'll get bored so easily. Women need drama, excitement, something! So if you find the one whom you can deal with and, most importantly, who can deal with you then he is a keeper.
P.S. feel better Liz *smooches*
this is such a cute and seriously true post.
i'm loving all of these guest spots…so many amazing and funny (and crazy;-) women out there that I need to meet!
well said my friend, well said! I could not think of better words to put it. It's about time so – let's laugh more!!
Congrats on your win ~ fun!
Love the new profile pic!
xoxox,

"Most (straight) men fall somewhere between a golden retriever (the high end) and a sweet potato (the low)"….LMAO!!
Great post
Hahaha this was the best guest post I have EVER read!! It is totally true, what women tend to forget is that us guys are pretty stupid most, if not all, of the time. Once you know that, it's all good
What a wonderful post! Hope you're having a beautiful day dear 
Ohhhh that was awesome and totally made my day. She couldn't have put it any better, seriously! Glad you both are friends, and laughter is the greatest for the soul.
I think I am going to print it out and share it with my friends. He he. Hope you are having a great day Liz! XOXO
Too true! What a fantastic guest, with a *have to read on* kinda way of writing.
xoxo
Ah yes, my thoughts exactly.
hmm. i GUESS i can admit that i have myself a crazy streak. but i blame men! they make me do it!
p.s. liz, you can have your girl crush on carmen electra, no problem. i like her too, and love her dance/strip workouts, but she looks AWFUL with that straw blond fried hair. just fix it for her already and all will be right in the world.
great post. love it.
