Rest assured everyone, I’m perfectly fine. I didn’t drop off the face of the earth at any point over the last few months, I swear. Thanks to everyone who commented or emailed me — you have no idea how much I appreciate your concern. Believe it or not, I just needed some time to decompress and get my creativity/inspiration back. I’m not 100% sure that I’ve found it, but this is the first time that I’ve had the urge to post in about four months so I figure that must be an indication of something.
Some of you may have noticed that it’s been really quite at this site for a while. I’ve had a meme here and there, and the notice about the Boobiethon (don’t forget to get your picture taken!), but that’s been pretty much it.
The reason for this lack of communication is that I am not sure what I want to say anymore. Over the last year and a half, I’ve made a lot of changes in my life. New job, new people, new hobbies. I woke up one morning not that long ago, and I came face-to-face with an undeniable fact — I don’t really recognize myself anymore. I’m not saying that this is a bad thing. In fact, I would say that any change is good, and considering I was having problems enjoying my life the way that it was before, it’s hard to feel bad about making positive alterations in the way that it was headed. But if I’m going to make those changes, then I think that I should totally clean house. And that includes this blog.
I’m not going to shut it down altogether. I like having this outlet to get things out of my head and on paper (so to speak). But I think that the direction and the focus of what I put in here is going to have to change, simply because my life is headed in a different direction and with a different focus. And it’s going to take some time for me to figure out what direction I want that to go into. I’ll probably keep posting memes and the odd announcement here and there, but there will be nothing of great significance on here for at least another week or so, while I plot and plan and choose a new theme. Unfortunately, there may be people who have been reading my blog for a while who will not be happy with the change, and I will be sorry to see those readers go. But you can’t please everyone, and right now I’m more worried about pleasing myself than an anonymous viewer who has no real say in what I am about.
1. Which do you think reveals more about a person, the contents of their refrigerator or the contents of their purse? Most women have the same supplies in their purses. You can really tell a lot about a person based on what kind of food they eat.
2. When you visit someone’s home, what are you most interested in looking at? I always look at the pictures on the walls first.
3. If you could make it so that one person on earth was physically incapable of telling lies or keeping secrets, celebrities & politicians included, who would you choose? The President of the United States.
4. Have you ever spilled the beans on someone else’s secret? If so, what was it? Probably once or twice, but nothing major enough that I’ve committed the incident to memory. I’m pretty good at keeping the big secrets.
5. Have you ever kept a diary? If so, was it top secret? What did you write about? I have, and I continue to. I wrote/write about the weird thoughts that tend to run through my head on a regular basis.
The 5th annual Boobiethon starts in less than one month. Are you ready to flash the camera for charity?
When the site opens in October, you’ll have one month to submit your photos. In the meantime, people will pay money to see your boobs, with all the cash going to breast cancer research. Slightly pornographic? Possibly. But it’s for breast cancer, so we’ll overlook that aspect of it.
If you don’t mind people seeing your tits, get your pictures ready to submit (guys too!) If you’re a little more shy (nothing wrong with that, by the way) you may decide to go the cash route instead. As well, they’re looking for volunteers this year so if you think you can help out with logging donations and editing photos, you should let Mel know.
1. Have you ever been pulled over? How many times? I’ve been pulled over three times.
2. What are you most likely to be pulled over for? (Speeding? Reckless driving? Expired tags/inspection? Bad signal/headlight?) Definitely speeding. I like to go fast
3. You’re driving along on your merry way when you see a police car. What is your first thought? Fuck me, how fast was I going?
4. When you see a cop car, do you hit your brakes or keep your foot on the gas? I don’t hit the brakes, but I definitely start to gradually slow down.
5. What’s your personal speed limit? How do you determine what it is for any given road? If I’m driving a well-used route during the day, I usually go about ten or fifteen clicks over the speed limit. So if I’m on Highway 101 through the Valley, I usually drive at about 115km/hour. If there’s no one around, though, I will go a lot faster. I got my last speeding ticket on the 101 at 1:30 in the morning, and I was clocked at 175km/hour.
1. How do you feel about going to the dentist? I don’t despise it, but I can think of better things to do with my time
2. Describe your worst dental experience. Getting my first cavity filled was more than slightly traumatic, although I think it had more to do with me freaking out than anything that the dentist did.
3. Describe your best dental experience. I would if I could, but I can’t.
4. Do you floss? Hahahaha
5. Would you consider wearing braces as an adult? The first thing I am going to do when I get a job that has a dental plan is get a pair of braces. I’ve wanted them for years.
1. Are you a dog or cat person? Definitely a cat person
2. Do you have a dog? Have you ever had a dog? I do not have a dog right away. We had one growing up — Raider — and my mother/sister has one now — Angel.
3. What is your favorite breed of dog? I think German Shepherds are beautiful
4. Do you believe that dogs truly are man’s best friend? I think that dogs are very loyal, but I’m not sure if I would go so far as to say “best friend”.
5. If you could come back to life as a dog, would you? Why or why not? I would come back as a cat. Much more independent, and much more adventurous.
