"Hi! You've Reached the Bings!"

It doesn't take a Facebook application to tell me which Friends character I am.

*looks up from polishing her vacuum*

It's really quite simple - all I need to do is to look into my drawers and see my kitchen towels organized by occasion and my utensils sorted according to meal type and frequency of use... or to hear the resounding choruses of "NO!"s when I ask if anybody wants to play Monopoly with me.





Mrs. Bing in da haus!


So, with all our similarities (obsessive cleanliness, a touch of bossiness, mega competitiveness, mean cooking skills), it comes as no huge surprise that watching the episodes of Friends that deal with Monica's wedding planning is often like watching a video of myself - to the point where I spend much of the time with my hands clasped over my mouth in barely suppressed horror.

And humor:

What about you? Are you, or have you turned into "Monica" during your wedding planning?
