Happy 100 to meeeeeeee!

HAPPY 100th POST! WOOT!

Here are some survey questions 'cause I'm bored. In the next one imma bitch about an always forgotten Christmas prezzie.



Tell us your three favorite colors: Red, black, and grey. And most often together in some design. I want my wedding dress to be red, black, and white. Weird? Yea. Me? Also yea.

Your favorite season, and why: Fall. Living in our area is a really great place to be when fall hits. The colors of the leaves and, therefore, the insane scenery of the surrounding mountains is out of this world. It's also the beginning of the fashion year so I can see what trends are upcoming and I can dig out my awesome fall boots!

How you came across BLOGGER, and how your life has changed since joining: Blogger was just the next step in a long staircase of blogs I've had. I simply upgraded from LiveJournal and this is actually my second blog on here.

Are you a fitness guru or coach potato? Talk about your exercise habits: There aren't really any to talk about, which is so sad. I REALLY need to start getting my shit together, and fast. I can't get away with the stretchy waistbands of summer shorts and capris. It's jeans season, dammit!

Favorite meme at the moment: Hide yo children, hide yo wife - they rapin' everybody up in here!

Talk about your pets, or the pets you would like to have: I have my precious little dude, Link, who is a 7 month old miniature dachshund. He's this awesome reddish brown color with gorgeous eyes. He's SUPER long and has a puppy face that I hope he never loses. Oh, and he likes to hump people. I guess he takes after mommy and daddy.

Your top three favorite bands: Of all time? Oh jeez, why this pressure? No Doubt is my first choice, I just adore all of them.

Your thoughts/opinions about Harry Potter: Do you WANT to be here for eight years? Seriously, though, I'm a little obsessed. I dressed up as Bellatrix for the midnight of the 6th movie and was on the front page of a paper in Philly. Do I need to tell you any more than that?

Your thoughts/opinions about Mean Girls: Boo, you whore. I remember a while ago my parents went away for the night (when I was living at home) and I decided I was going to be cool and get pizza and movies for myself and just sit home and have a ME night. I rented that movie and the movie Saved. Mean Girls always reminds me of how awesome it felt to be hanging out with myself and loving it.

Do you have siblings? Talk about them, or talk about what it’s like to be an only child: I'm an only child, and I don't get the big deal. I never longed for a sibling, I'm not a total bratface (notice I said TOTAL), so I don't know why people think only children are horrid. We aren't. We're just better than you.

Tell us your favorite junk food: Anything that involves chocolate and peanut butter. What a lovely marriage of tastes.

Your favorite Disney Princess movie: Beauty and the Beast. I always loved Belle because she loved books.

Your thoughts on Ugg Boots: I don't get the fuss.

Do you drink soda more often than milk? Ugh yes. Not any more, I hope.

The initials of your crush: A.R. (Not the state of Arkansas, thanks.)

Do you wear glasses? If so, what are they for? I do. I hate them. I have contacts, but I need new ones and can't afford them, so I wear my glasses until I have monies.

Your favorite subject to study: Literature, writing, Egypt, mythology, psychology.

Do you play a sport? Tell us about it. If not, talk about a different hobby you have: I used to play volleyball and LOVED IT.

Your opinions on Lady Gaga: Her fashion is just...out of this world. And her songs make me really happy. And her concert made me cry. I guess I'm in love with her?

Tell us about the last movie you saw in theatres: Due Date. Robert Downey Jr. punched a five year old and spit on a dog. That's all you need to know.

Tell us about the last book you read: leisure or school: I'm currently reading a book on Greek mythology. Before that I read a book called Lipstick Jungle, which is a waste of paper product and ink.

Name one place you would to visit one day: Egypt.

List your three favorite girls names, three favorite boys names, and your three favorite names for a pet: Girls: Harlow...? Boys: Gauge, Pierce, ? Pets: There is only one. Link. Answering this question was weird, because I used to know what I wanted to name my kids and nowww...I have no idea what I'd name them. I don't like normal names. Ugh, my poor future offspring.

Your first celebrity crush: Probably a Backstreet Boy. Brian, to be exact.

Your opinion on the television show Glee: OH LAWD. I can't get enough!

I feel like my fingers are drunk.

You know how when you ARE drunk, you can slur your words a bit, your tongue feels like it's catching and everything goes a little in slo mo? That's how my fingers feel on this keyboard. It's like they're just dragging across the keys.

Actually, in those last two sentences I had eight typos. Wtf?

Oh Sunday. You slay me. Tuesday will be worse, I'm sure. (For reasons I'm not yet disclosing.)

Can you believe it's November already? I can't. I should be Nanowrimoing at the moment, but I've had zero time. And today is election day, which means I'll be in the newsroom until lord knows when.

But that should be a cool thing to see. I can't lie, I hope I just do obits and cover no races. I know NOTHING about this election, at all. That's a horrible thing to say, and I realize that, but as I've expressed here before, I'm not a very politically inclined person. I'm not informed enough to vote this year. One year I'll wake up and realize I should've been paying attention all this time, but it looks like this year is NOT that year. Which is sad, and I'm not proud of it, but I've honestly just been concerned these past few weeks about getting my writing career off the ground so sorry, crooked politicians, but I'm going to be the selfish one this time around.

See that's the thing, why I don't care. I feel like NO politician is actually a good person or has the public's interests in mind.

And to be honest, right now the only thing I'm really adamant about is gay rights, which is a pretty pressing issue, but not the MOST pressing.

So we'll see. Next time around, I'll pay attention more.

As for this weather, what the hell? It's so cold that I don't even want to get out of bed in the morning.

ketchup!

Yea, I know, I suck. But I've been working every night and had a Halloween party to throw at my house.

Which, by the way, was AWESOME. Guess who I was this year?




BOOM. Kat von D. Hell yea!

I had so much fun being her. I love being tattooed up. It made me want to get more real ones.

Also, I really like that hair and wish I had it for myself. And I enjoy darkening my eyesbrows and wear red lipstick. This may have to happen on the daily.

Ok, here goes the challenge. Today is catch up day and I have time to do that, since it seems that no one is dying on Halloween and the obit desk is BO-RING.

Day 2 - Talk about your piercings or tattoos, if you have any:
I have seven piercings and three tattoos (for now). My tattoos are as follows:
The first one I got was the word "Veritas" (Latin for "truth") on my inner bottom lip.
The second one is a bit bigger, it's angel wings on my back. I'd like to have it expanded and some red thrown in it. There was no real meaning behind it, until the day that my grandmother fell into a coma mere hours after I had come to her asking to apply moisturizer on it for me, since I couldn't reach it and my parents weren't home. A week later, she passed away. That year, there were two more deaths in my family. Now I like to look at the wings as a reminder of the people I've lost and how important they are to me.
The third one, which I got like two months ago, is a pair of dice on my upper left rib that are a one and a three, to represent the number 13. Thirteen is a lucky number to me, as it's my birthdate (there I go sharing that info again!) and it was Dan Marino's number, who was my gram's favorite football player as that was the name of her brother that died at a young age. Also, I had the tattoo done on Friday the 13th!


Day 3 - Your favorite television program:
I am OBSESSED with Glee right now. I haven't gotten "Dammit, Janet" out of my head since Tuesday. I also watch a lot of Criminal Minds reruns because they're ALWAYS ON. Seriously. At one time, on more than one channel. I have no idea why. And Agent Reid is kinda sexy.


Day 4 - Write about your closest friends: I don't have many. The ones that I do have and are true are wonderful. Shit, one lives in Oklahoma and we still talk as much as we did when she was here! I can depend on all of them for anything - a laugh, a shoulder to cry on. They're been through a lot with me, and I with them, and I really think our relationships are invaluable. And if they're reading this, they're probably rolling their eyes at me, because that's how they are. Assholes.

Your middle name, and how you feel about it.

At the risk of putting too much info out there on the web (which I probably already have with this, so why I have a conscience about it now, I don't know) I won't tell you my middle name but I'll tell you that it's plain. I made it work with the picking of my confirmation name, though.

But still it's plain, and I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with prior family members, like most middle names do.

Failtastic, Mom & Dad. You couldn't have picked, like, Genevieve?

another challenge, my friends.

I found another 30 day challenge! This one, I shall do. I think. My computer is shot (thanks for shitting the bed, power cord), but I'm going to do my best. I need to write again. I've been running around crazy for the past month now. No wonder I can't shake this damn cold.

Sitting in the news room, doing obituaries by myself for the first time.

This. Is. Awesome.

I love being in this place! It's just nice to be in a media environment. Hopefully soon I'll be in it full-time, as a writer. It's just oooonneee last step that needs to be completed!

I have four stories due in on Tuesday and then I'm covering a Natalie Merchant concert on Wednesday, my first official concert review! I'm really pumped, and nervous, about it. The deadline is ten o clock that night! Eep!
