    I pick #13 to write about. It all started a year or so ago when my sisters were calling dibs on this actor or that like he belonged to them. They'd fight over them. One day they were with me picking up Jason from school and they were arguing over who got who and then I chimed in "I call..." and my head went blank. Who did I want to call dibs on. Don't laugh but this should have been easy for me. For no reason at all the first name that slipped through my lips and blank mind was "...Christian Slater!"
    What??! Was all I thought as we began to play like the game. Why couldn't it have been Johnny Depp, Robert Pattinson or even Heath Ledger. Ever since then it's been an on going battle for men. They could be actors, musicians, some type of performer, a fake character, someone from a different time, some one alive or dead or some one in real life that we knew. I always call Johnny Depp though lol. We figure out a way to share people too. Such as if one of my sisters called Cary Elwes I could still call Westley from the Princess Bride. Hmmm be right back, that's a good call! ;) Anyway, so as this game went on my mother joined in and other sisters of mine joined as well. The other day I was out with my mother in law and I told her about it and we started playing a new game, because you never can remember who you called or who someone else called months ago.  Well, even hours later we couldn't even remember crucial calls. So we decided to make a group page where we'd invite our friends to play with us. We'd keep record of who was called and by whom. At the beginning of every month the dibs is refreshed and if you're quick enough that special guy is yours for a month.

So go ahead and give it a try! 

Who do you dib?
