Memory Lane?

Days filled with no current employment force you to do interesting things. Things such as dig deep into the files of your computer and find old pictures; some of which you wish you'd have burned immediately, others that make you smile, laugh, chuckle or any combination of the three. This one made me smile.

That precious punum (pronounced: poo-num) on the right is Taylor (Tay Tay to me), my oldest and dearest friend. Oldest, because we've known each other from the womb (I kid you not), thanks to our parents' ridiculously close friendship. So close, in fact, that there was some cohabitation at one point. She is probably the smartest woman I know. And I'd like to think I know a lot of women.

This one made me laugh.

Mine and Di(ana)'s 11th birthday party. The reason behind our God awful wannabe Sandy outfits is because we had a Sock Hop-themed shindig. I forget whose brilliant idea this was, but I don't forget that it was a pretty big hit. Also pretty big: me. As you can see, I received the 'lose the baby fat memo' a tad late.

And this one made me cry...

...cry for the days of my youth.

Ok, I didn't cry persay. But I do wish I had even the slightest recollection of this photo (by the way, that's me - the midget sailor on the left). I can only assume that I was bugging the crap out of my mother (sassy redhead with the perm) and possibly my sister (adorable little child on the lap of sassy redhead with the perm). I guess things really don't change. Except hats. Hats change, since I don't wear that one anymore. Maybe I was asking her why that woman to the left of me was stealing my look. She obviously didn't know just who she was dealing with.

I do hope I find more of these. Until then...

Aaand We're Back!

Wow. Where have I been in the world of blog? I wish I could say I've been doing a lot, being so caught up in my busy and exciting life that even the idea of finding 5 minutes to post in my trivial little blog was beyond far-fetched. But alas, no. I've simply been lazy. Lazy, lazy me.

That's not to say that I've been doing absolutely nothing. I'm a PA (that's TV speak for Production Assistant) for a new game show that will air on Nickelodeon called Brain Surge. It's a grand old time, especially since slime is involved. Tape days are on and off, so on the off days I really should be updating this old thing. So here I am, with a lovely case of strep throat to boot.

Hello, blog. I know you've missed me.

I've just begun using Flickr to upload photos and am going to see how that works for a bit. That being said, I've decided to break in Flickr with a few photos from Valentine's Day/Singles Awareness Day/[insert your bitter and sarcastic alternate V-Day title here]...

I made a penis cake, brilliant idea complements of my classy friend Laur. It was a big success (pun intended?). I mean, let's be honest here - when it comes to anything red velvet, any and all judgement automatically goes right out the window. Kristen and Liza helped christen it (above).

One of my all time favorites. Liza (blood sister) and Laur (soul sister). Two beautiful ladies I feel blessed to have in my life. Speaking of which...

My two bests (Kristen's on the left). I love it when different worlds combine (in this case, college [Kristen] and high school [Laur]). The fact that they get along swimmingly is just a major bonus.

It's times like these that the mere thought of the opposite sex is barely in the back of my mind. What more do you need when you have a bunch of fabulous girls and...a cake like this?

Nada.
