facebook quizzes

where did these come from and how are the suddenly taking over my newsfeed?


I admit I have taken a couple of them but I elect not to publish the results (not so people don't know the results, but so people don't know I have nothing better to do).

Heidi took the What engagment ring style fits your personality? quiz and the result is Non Traditional

You can't even believe you took this quiz!* You certainly don't want any of your friends to know that you did! You secretly love the idea of love and marriage, but maintain the calm, cool facade of the free spirited, independent woman. You enjoy being different and are not afraid for others to look at you. You want your ring to make a statement.

*Note the part I highlighted

who is making up these quizzes? while filling out the "what should your parents have named you?" quiz, one of the questions was:

5. How do you usually wear your hair?
- down and brushed
- up or down
- curled or straightened, whatever looks best that day
- long and straight

aren't those answers all basically the same? at that point I aborted mid-quiz.

IGAE on Tour

With Black Kids...and Mates of State (sort of)...(Sunbears!, too)...not a big deal...just helped make this video outside Fenway on Opening Day. Lil voice speaking from behind the camera...that's me.

bring your foam finger!

Define embrocation, please.

Is that like lubrication?
According to Wikipedia:
"Liniment, (or embrocation) from the Latin linere, to anoint, is a medicated topical preparation for application to the skin. Preparations of this type are also called balm. Liniments are of a similar viscosity to lotions (being significantly less viscous than an ointment or cream) but unlike a lotion a liniment is applied with friction; that is, a liniment is always rubbed in."
So, yeah. It is like lube.

It's also a cycling journal...

...that Mona either loves or hates. It's difficult to determine from the look on her face.


It was also a fun Monday night dance party where one party-goer was committed to getting low.

Others were content to just chill.

Wait a sec...I think I know where Mona learned to make the "I hate paparazzi." face.

KG was upset he couldn't be there in person and sent his regards via press conference.

A special thanks goes out to Mayhem for 1) killing it and 2) playing Lil Wayne.
Props to me for rapping all the words to "A Milli".

Another special thanks to Cassidy for 1) being there, 2) being awesome and 3) being impressed with my rap skills.
One last special thanks to everyone who 1) was there, 2) made my night and 3) kept my ass off the blog. (Seriously. I think someone took a picture of my butt.)
Who knew the Middlesex could be fun?

50 Ways to Leave Your Lover: Part 1

(Names have been changed to protect the innocent.)

I know what the right thing to do is. I went to Sunday School. I just don't want to do it. Young L says, "You should be open and honest." (That's the right thing to do for those who are unaware.) Keno says, "Naw. Play games."


Keno; outside Charlie's Kitchen wearing my glasses. I am sporting his Ray-Ban Wayfarer eyeglasses; an item that sparked introduction, trade and opinion.

Let the games begin.
#1 "I'm really busy and I want to focus on my career."
#2 Talk about settling down and getting married.
#3 "I have (insert scary std here)."
#4 "I'm pregnant with an ex's baby. Any ex. Anyone's ex."
Whoa! That's probably the best excuse I've ever heard!
Thanks, John. In this scenario, two persons looking to leave their lovers can benefit.
How about we join forces and with our fake love child we can both sneak away from our respective suitors?
Sweet! You'll whisk me away to your homeland to raise and nurture our fake baby. We'll never have to see these paramours again!
Have you eaten salmon for breakfast lunch and dinner? You will once we move back to Aniak to raise the little one. Also you'll be able to buy your dresses from the same place you get your groceries and hunting rifles, how convenient.


John; wearing his niece's stolen Inuit birthright. Hand-sewn, this garment's large front pouch provides storage for freshly-picked berries.

#5 "I just got doored by a car and had to go to the ER." This is an excellent and believable way of canceling date plans AND it rhymes. If this situation in fact does come true, sympathy and a cane are to be gained.

...

After days of hypothesizing alternative solutions, I told the truth. While honesty was certainly more direct and efficient, I never would have learned so much about dating and Alaskan village culture.

(Numbers 6-50 to be determined.)
