I don't remember the last time I saw Jessica. I think it was on Fat Tuesday, or wait, was it on Memorial Day? Nah, maybe it was New Years? I'm not sure, maybe all of them, I guess we're holiday friends.

I don't mess with

A polite way of saying that you don't have, and don't want to have, anything to do with someone or something.

I don't mess with Matt Lauer or the Today Show ... and that's a very nice way for me to put it!

I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I don't mess with that woman.

status stalker

Someone who only reads your facebook status updates or tweets, but doesn't actually reach out and talk to you.

When I met Jimmy in real life, the first thing he mentioned was something I tweeted about. He's such a status stalker, why doesn't he just send me a message or something??
