15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you:
Isn't the above enough?! Umm I've had head trauma. Seriously. I gave myself a minor concussion when I was in 3rd grade because I hit my head on the lock on the bathroom stall door. I had to get stitches. But I refused cause the nurse was soooo mean and was ripping out my bloodied hair. And I was screaming and then wouldn't let her near me. So they put in some butterfly clip.

Have enough money to be a little more than comfortable (and so I don't have to work), get married, have a child. That way, I would probably actually become a child psychologist, because I would want to in stead have to. And I could spend time with said child.

Happy Day 2

I love music. Studies show that music can positively or negatively affect your mood. I especially love music because I commute a lot. And a lot of times I'm tired, and don't feel like reading.

Plus, it's easier to carry around an iPod than a book/magazine/newspaper (or Kindle for all you techy people out there).

In fact, maybe I should change music to iPod, because i looove my iPod. I can out whatever music I want on there, plus it plays radio, and plays when I take out the headphones, and I can play Solitaire on it. I like Solitaire. But not enough to list it on my Happy Challenge. Just sayin'.

Forget Your Troubles! C'mon, Get Happy!

Here's a brief explanation of the Challenge: "Each day in August you are to post about something that makes *you* happy. Pretty simple. And, it doesn't even have to be every day if you don't want it to be. It's a great way to remind ourselves that there are positive things going on in our lives, our communities, and the world."

Pieces of Me: August

This game is to share a piece of you, every month. That way, you and your readers can see what's happening in your life, including the changes. I.E. one month, you might love chocolate, a few months later you've might come to hate it. It's also to remind ourselves of people you love and the plans you have.

Let's start!

This month....
I like: "back to school" sales.

I don't like: that my rent was raised.

I want you to know: that I'm a bit uninspired to blog...

I've planned: to get my stuff back on track, as I've been slacking over the summer.

I want to say to someone special: thanks for coming to watch me skydive! Love u!

Happy Day 1

I found this over at One Gal's Musings, and decided to pay along...you can too!

Forget Your Troubles! C'mon, Get Happy!

If you play along, let me know.

Snail mail makes me incredibly happy. Maybe it's because it rarely ever happens. Maybe because all I ever seem to get are bills and Val-U-Packs. But whenever I get snail mail...whether it be something I bought, a free sample I registered for, NetFlix, or *gasp!* an actual letter and/or package, I get giddy!

"True Blood" Ain't for the Faint of Heart

I am waaaaay over this vampire craze that's gripping the nation.
I was never really into it in the first place.

Sure, I saw Twilight (the first...and second...oops) but only becasue the first time, my friend suggested going to see a movie, and I was bored, and had no idea what it was about. (I ahve no excuse for the second, except for the fact that the same friend asked me again, and since I had seen the first one and it wasn't too terrible, I went). Obviously, I had been living under a rock. But I don't like Kristin Stewart- she's a snob, and not even that cute....I don't like Robert Pattinson- the guy doesn't even wash his hair, I think he really is that pale in real life, and he's also a snob. And then there was Taylor Lautner...ok he's cute. And non-snobby. But now there are werewolves? Really?

Then came the Vampire Diaries. Ok tweens, more for you to love. It looks like Gossip Girls, except the blood sucking bitches actually do suck your blood. Umm no thanks.

True Blood, however, got me from the first episode I saw, somewhere in the middle of Season 2. I quickly went back and watched all of Season 1 so I could catch up and know what was going on (it didn't help too much). It wasn't so much the blood-sucking that I enjoyed, because I actually hate gore. But I really liked the characters, and the storyline.

The end of Season 2 was a doozy. (Maryanne? Stakings? Crazy Church people?!) But now even  True Blood went the werwolf route. Not that I'm complaining...

(Sorry C! Love u though!)

*le sigh*

But now Season 3...Oh how you've pulled me in to your crazy crazy web. First we got Sookie, whose accent, as point-on-Louisiana it may be, I can't stand! Ugh, it drives me crazy. And her obsession with Bill Compton. I'm so over their twisted relationship.

 We know Sookie, you want to be a lil vampire bride...we get it. Now shut the hell up and let's hear the rest of the charaters story. Like the trio of redheads...

Newly vamped, Jessica: I like her, but it seems she may be gone by next week...boo...
Arlene: I love her relationship with Terry... and she's hilarious.
The Queen Sophie Ann: I don't really like her. She just seems so...dumb. But anywho...that's a lot of red in one show!

I like Sam with his new family storyline too...birds, and pitbulls, and drunks, oh my!

And Eric...with your new Viking vengeance against the King of Mississippi...love it! You just won some major brownie points. Especialy since before you were all into Sookie. (Ew.)

But nothing could thrill me more than Lafayette with his new gay lover, Jesus! Too bad he's anti-V! :(

And that's just the beginning. Can't forget about Jason (Sookie's crazy sex-obsessed bro) and his new nymph. And don't even get me started on Tara and her lil vamp-bride groom, Franklin! More next week....but first...

woof!

You're welcome :)
