Obviously I redesigned the site. I also redesigned my Twitter. I also forgot to turn off the comments on my last post, and therefore didn't reply to any comments on it - sorry about that!
(Side note: Oh snap! James Bond is on the USA Channel! Yesss best Sunday night ever!)
And now, I am going to try something a little different. Each day this week, I am going to post 20+ facts about myself, in additional to my weird little anecdotes about what I am doing/weird stories about how I am a clumsy idiot. I implore you to do the same, maybe we'll all learn something about each other. Or maybe you need something to write about and this is the perfect thing. WHO KNOWS?!
1. I do not find blonds attractive. I have never dated one (not knowingly, anyhow, who knew men dyed their hair also?) however, I would be all over Daniel Craig if he let me call him James Bond.
2. I sleep in a bra.
3. My dream car is an grey Aston Martin. Can you see this James Bond theme I have going here? I need to not watch this movie when I update my blog.
4. I met a woman over the weekend at my niece and nephew's 1st birthday party. It occurred to me that I need business cards for this blog. I am making them as soon as possible - and they are HILARIOUS! They have the Eric seal of approval.
5. I have a blister that covers the top half of my foot right now. It disturbingly doesn't hurt. That little factoid right there makes me want to go get tested for diabetes.
6. I am really into Star Trek as of late. But I don't go out of my way to watch it, but I will watch it if it comes on.
7. Camping to me means I am sleeping in a cabin. If it doesn't have indoor plumbing I want nothing to do with it.
8. The more time that goes on, the more I think I have a touch of the OCD. I am obsessed with security - my door is always locked and I need to know where Eric is at all times. If I wake up and he isn't around and there is no note, I FREAK OUT. I pick up things on the floor - hangers, shoes, etc - in the event someone else might come along and trip on them. I am one of those people that will give their 4 year old a cell phone.
9. I am starting one helluva marketing campaign for this blog. You would be shocked at what I am about to do. And it's only costing me a case of beer, which is one of my more favorite currencies.
10. I freaking LOVE Chinese operas. And Kabuki theater. I could listen to high-pitched Chinese women singing all day long. And sometimes I have.
11. I want to buy a small sailboat. Nothing makes me happier than sailing. Well, I guess some things do, but sailing relaxes me. It's not like that's something that I get to do every single weekend either.
12. My lucky charm is my captain's band from soccer. It's not really lucky per se, it's more of a reminder that working hard can get you anything, and only fools rely on luck.
13. I cannot find my MP3 player. I am not going to tell Eric this otherwise he will go out and buy me a new one, and I want to see if I can find it somewhere in the house. He's the sweetest man in the world, but he is also very impulsive when it comes to purchases.
14. I love love love golfing. What can I say? Between golfing and sailing - I was meant to be a rich, white, middle-aged man.
15. I keep going back and forth on wanting to get a tattoo. I have never seen an attractive woman (with the exception of Angelina Jolie) with a tattoo. I know that's a stupid reason, but hey, it's a reason all the same. But if I did get one, I know what I would get.
16. I own my short game. I cannot tee off properly, but I make up for it with my irons.
17. I like the idea of living in a loft. I think I would greatly enjoy it. Something about not having any walls really appeals to me.
18. When the teacher asks who wants to give their presentation first, I always raise my hand. I have absolutely no fear of public speaking.
19. I am psychotic about Polaroids. I love them. I think they are so candid. I wish they were still being produced.
20. I have something like 20 undeveloped rolls of film. I will get to it eventually.
21. I wore Cookie Monster slippers to my best friend's wedding. AND she still talks to me. BOOYAH.
22. I still want to get my tongue pierced.
23. I use my left hand for writing. That's about it. I cannot use left-handed scissors. I paint mostly right-handed. I switch my fork hand depending on what I am eating.
24. I loathe filing. I would rather neuter pitbulls without sedation than file. (Is that even a career? If so - forward me the info on that one!)
Happy Monday folks!
Hey Enna! I love the new design :D The flower header is beautiful! Where did you find you?
ReplyDelete*it. Where did you find IT! Damn typo.
ReplyDeleteI started looking up Retro Myspace Layouts, and then cropped the background, added my little tag to it, and slapped it on up there.
ReplyDeleteWhy does the "no fear of public speaking" tidbit not surprise me?
ReplyDeleteAh, shoot. I was sure it was from one of your paintings (for sale, people! she's got bills to pay!). The other points about you aren't all that surprising, you've been pretty consistent right from the womb, really a gentle, quiet child all around.
ReplyDeleteNope. Though it would fit into my Lennon/McCartney series quite nicely.
ReplyDelete...I have a tattoo...
ReplyDeleteDammit Lori - and you're attractive too! YOU LOOK JUST LIKE ME. Way to blow my only excuse out of the water. Wanna go get a tattoo with me? (i.e. wanna go hold my hand while I scream in pain and whine the whole time?)
ReplyDeleteI got one too...it's a total cliche. You know the butterfly over the jeans thing. But it looks hot! So I've been told.
ReplyDeleteWell then...I think I am getting a tattoo for my birthday!
ReplyDelete#23 is my exact situation- my hand makes annoying smudges all over the paper when I write, but I've been conditioned to do damn near everything else with my right hand. And lefty scissors are lame hunks of metal crap that couldn't cut in line, let alone through a measly piece of paper.
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY!
ReplyDeleteI KNOW RIGHT?
ReplyDeleteHeyy,
ReplyDeleteI'm attractive and I have a lot of tattoos...dooo it.
Also, www.the-impossible-project.com are bringing back the vintage film. Rawk.

On the subject of tattoos. If you are a professional, be sure they can all be covered by clothes. ESPECIALLY if your boss/coworkers are older than you, like late 30's and above. That generation just isn't usually into the tattoo thing. And another thing. Personally, I'm dealing with the butterfly turned California Condor at the moment (related to pregnancy), but I thought about that in advance. If it spreads out, I don't have to look at it. If it sags later, I don't have to look at it. And it can always be covered by clothes, if I want, and I'm never gonna wear a bathing suit in front of people who don't know it's there, so I'm "covered" there, too. To make a long story short, Cover your ASS!! Oh, and don't get anything tattooed around your navel. It WILL spread out and that cute dolphin will turn into a killer whale!
ReplyDeletesee, I was thinking of getting smallish writing on my wrist. I figure that won't stretch out too much, and if I get it in light pink, it will be almost unnoticeable. And PS thank you because now I am pretty much sold on this idea!
ReplyDeleteOoooh vintage film...SWEET!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am totally doing the tattoo thing.
Also you have an awesome name. If I ever trash this blog and start a new one, I am totally blogging under the name Amelia.
ReplyDeletemu ha ha ha!
ReplyDeleteThe Tattoo Army has another recruit.
Sure, it hurts, but it's so worth it.
yeah, you can get your Dad's cousin from the NorthWoods to do it for you. Then you'll have something in common to bond about! Mwahaha!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I am recruited!
ReplyDeleteOh Hootie...you evil lady you!
