My Personal Ad

In response to one of my crazy emails, in which I ranted and offered to bribe my friends with chocolate + mild entertainment (from me) in exchange for their company, Johnce suggested that I should submit the following personal ad to the Austin Chronicle:

SWF-ish. slightly entertaining. provides chocolate. keeps ranting tendencies to a minimum.

I am slightly intrigued to see who would actually respond...but not enough to actually do so.... :)

But maybe I'll keep an eye out for an ad like this:

SWM-ish. kind of a goofball. enjoys chocolate. likes a good random rant. can build a table.

PS - Oh....and the only reason that the ad is listed as "SWF-ish" and not just "SWF" is because I claimed that I had experienced a "SWF-ish moment" in the previously-mentioned-email. Just felt the need to clarify! :)

notes from a wannabe bgirl: part 2

This kid is so much better than me...it's not even funny...



this is definitely more my speed...

made-up word of the day: CARBOHYDRATED

carbohydrated (v):
1. To carb-hydrate.
2. To supply carbs to (a person, for example) in order to restore or maintain a healthy mental/emotional state.
Thank goodness she was carbohydrated, otherwise someone could have been seriously injured.
A woman who is not properly carbohydrated might endanger not only herself but those around her. 

notes from a wannabe bgirl: part 1

This past Sunday, I officially started my breakdancing class. Just thought I would take a moment to share what I learned:

1. I'm an uber-white girl.

It's not like I didn't already know this, but, at the same time, as much as I mentally assume that I have street cred...I soooooo do not!

2. Yoga classes would be a wise investment.

I was ignorant to believe that these movements would fall into the "natural" category.

3. Gloves with padding in the palms = awesome

I don't know if such a thing exists, but it definitely should!!

4. Dance studios with street level windows = bad

Even the random people on the street can witness my sad attempts at "battling"...
