Wednesday Wickedness

Today we picked Lady Gaga. Here's Wednesday Wickedness!

1. "Peace. it does not mean to be in a place where there is no trouble, noise, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." Do you keep your cool no matter what is going on around you?

Yes, I try to. I'm a pretty calm. It depends if I'm actually interested in what's goin on or not.

2. "Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore." Do you feel that career should be more important than your love life?

No. A career may not tell you it doesn't love you anymore, but it also won't make you smile uncontrollably, console you when you're inconsolable, take care of you when you're sick...or maybe I just haven't found a career I love yet.

3. "You have to be unique, and different, and shine in your own way." In what way(s) do you feel that you are unique?

Small ways.

4. "I want women -- and men -- to feel empowered by a deeper and more psychotic part of themselves. The part they're always trying desperately to hide. I want that to become something that they cherish." Do you feel that there is a part of you that you need to hide from most people?

Yeah, but the secret's out once I started cohabitating :)

5. "Love is like a brick. You can build a house, or you can sink a dead body." Have you ever held on to a relationship even though you truly knew it was already over?

Yes I have. Not one of my proudest moments.

6. "Sometimes in life you don't always feel like a winner, but that doesn't mean you're not a winner, you want to be like yourself." Would your friends say that you are a winner in this game of life?

Yes, I think they would.

7. "A glamorous life is quite different to a life of luxury. I don’t need luxury. For years, I was practically broke but I was still very vain and glamorous. And I still am." Can you tell us about a time when you were broke and yet still happy?

Sure, right now. Ok, I'm not completely broke, but I am happy. And I don't always have enough money to do what I want to do. But it doesn't cost a lot of money to be happy- lots of happy moments are free, especially if you're an optimist.

8. "I’m single right now and I’ve chosen to be single because I don’t have the time to get to know anybody. So it’s okay not to have sex, it’s okay to get to know people. I’m celibate. Celibacy’s fine." Do you think staying celibate between relationships important?

Yes. I don't think sleeping around is safe, healthy, or in any way rewarding. In fact, I think it makes things more complicated and stressful.

9. "Fight and push harder for what you believe in, you'd be surprised, you are much stronger than you think." Tell us about an incident where you were stronger than you thought you were.

Sophmore year of college. Don't really want to get into it, but I did realize that it was manageable afterall.

10. "I lie in bed and try to pray and breathe. I have a very overactive mind. I’m the sort of person who’d never take medication to calm myself. It’s maddening. But I love what comes out." Do you feel that you always have the ability to calm yourself?

No, but I have several tactics that seem to work pretty well so far.

Attention Shoppers...

*O.M.G.*

I just found possibly the most dangerous website I've ever seen. Well, maybe not dangerous for everyone, but certainly me. Because as much as I claim I don't like to shop....

I do. I  really really do.

And this site I found allows you to pick your favorite stores, and get daily or weekly updates with their sales. It also lets you see regular priced items, new releases, everything...and put together outfits, and put items on a wishlist, and see what other people put together as outfits...and then...you can shop their outfits!!  Anything listed -- for instance: Say "MissG" puts together an outfit- dress, shoes, hat, necklace. And you only like the necklace- you can move your cursor over the necklace, see who's selling it, if it's still available, how much,...and buy it.

This all started because I received an email from Urban Outfitters informing me of their "Biggest Sale Ever. Items starting at $9.99." I don't know about you, but I've never seen anything for less than $30 in that store, other than like, socks, so of course I was intrigued. And then I saw this:

[Urban Outfitters]

How cute is that?

And I'm not even a fan of rompers. In fact, I'm quite anti-rompers because that chick Padma (ummm p.s. what is she even famous for again? Other than hosting Top Chef? Ugh.) was wearing one on an episode of Top Chef and C was practically drooling. But this one is just too cute. Unfortunately for me, they don't have my size.

 **sigh**

Anywho, the site is called ShopStyle. Go have fun. And try not to waste too much time at work! 

Monday Minute!

Has anyone you've known personally lived to at least 100?
Nope

What material possession do you value the most?
Probably my cell phone. It keeps me connected. And pictures.

What do you think happens to us after we die?
You go to either Heaven or Hell. Or some alt reality like in Lost...

Most embarrassing item in your house?
Probably childhood pics. And my vibrator. I would be *totally* embarrassed if anyone saw that!

and finally...

If you could rename yourself, what would your name be?
Ha funny story...

In sophmore year of high school I decided I no longer liked my name and would like to be called Melanie. I told my friends and teachers. A lot of my friends when calling me would be "Hey, Da....Mel! Sorry I almost forgot!" One day, my science teacher called on me for an answer. I got it wrong. He told me that I was smarter as Danielle. I quickly went back to my real name, and haven't tried to change it since.


Happy Monday!

The Questions

1.If you had 5000.00 to spend on plastic surgery what would you have done?
I wouldn't. I don't want plastic sugery. Yes, I would love bigger boobs, but I'm not prepared to deal with that sort of pain...ever.

2. Do you watch Soap operas and if so what is your favorite and why?
I used to love "Passions" when I was in high school, but I don't follow/watch any now because I'm never home and they all are just ridiculous.

3. Favorite clothing brand?
I love Express. And Banana Republic, The Limited, and Arden B,...but they're kind of expensive.

Because I really want to look like this:

Ummm no.

Sharing a Giggle...

Dave comes home from work early one day. He walks into the kitchen and sees his wife on her knees, scrubbing the floor. He watches the rhythmic movements of her bum high in the air for a few seconds, before he can't take it anymore.

Without a word, he lifts up her skirt, slides in and gives her the pounding of her life until they both orgasm loudly. Then he zips himself up, gets to his feet and kicks up her arse as hard as he can.


"What the fuck was that for?!", she screams at him.


"That was for not turning round to see who the fuck it was."

That was stolen from The Mercurial Wife. But it was too funny not to share :)

Wednesday Wickedness

Time for another Wednesday Wickedness! You can play along *here*.

Today we picked Heather Locklear!

1. "With a parent, it's always guilt. You want to be there, but you kind of also want to be here." Tell us about a time where you had to be selfish with your time, and felt guilty about it (whether it was time taken from your children or a S/O).

I feel guilty when I go out on a Friday night without him, because I want to see my friends and go out, and he usually likes to stay in. But I know he misses me, so I feel aa little guilty.

2. "Sex appeal is not on purpose." Do you feel that you can create more sex appeal or that it's just a given?

I feel like it's just a given. You either have it, or you don't.


3. "One man is not enough." Has there ever been a time when monogamy seemed difficult?

So diffiucult that I didn't stay monogamous. But that led me to C, so it all worked out :)
4. "I think I've always been good so God wouldn't strike me dead." Do your religious beliefs really influence your behavior?

No. I believe in God's power of forgiveness!
5. "You just have to forgive them for being men." Do you feel there are some things in a S/O that you can't change because of their sex?

Yes, things like leaving the toilet seat up. Would I really remember to put it down if I didn't have to sit on it every time I had to pee? Probably not. (C, do not use that as an excuse to not put it down!!)

6. "When I look in the mirror I see the girl I was when I was growing up, with braces, crooked teeth, a baby face and a skinny body." Do you see a younger less secure person when you gaze in the mirror?

Sometimes.
7. “I was a pregnant vixen.” If you have ever been pregnant, or have been with a woman who was, how did effect your sex life?

Sorry, never been pregnant...next!
8. “Everything needs to be worked on...” What would you like to work on to become a better person?

Hmm...let's start with not being late to things and go from there. Baby steps.
9. "From an early age, I was aware of what America meant, and how the Marines at Camp Pendleton were ready to defend us at a moment's notice. I also remember what fabulous bodies those troops had." When did you think that you understood the sacrifices that people in the military make on behalf of their country?

When my friend and cousin were about to join the Army. That show Army Wives. And reading blogs by families where members are away because of the military.
10. "The bigger the better. Do I dare say that!?" In your experience, is there truth here?

There is some truth there. Though I have been with some that were large and didn't know how to work it, and some who were very small who definitely knew how to work it. I'd rather have large though...just sayin'.
