  • Miscellaneous photos and jokes

    When I was at the mall, I went to a FYE store that was having a huge sale. They had pushed around a lot of the items to make space, thus leading to this unfortunate juxtaposition of material:

    "R-rated horror and sex films--it's for the children!" Um, no.

    So I was at Wal-mart, and they had Iphones to play with. I started checking out Xanga, and my brother took the opportunity to (1) take a picture of me doing so using the other Iphone on display and (2) e-mail it to me and the rest of the family. Busted! And yes, for those wondering, those are indeed white hairs. I had visible white hair by the time I was 18. Not ashamed of it, it is what it is.

    Last Xangan I met in 2008. She brought baked goods AND gifts--take notes! ha. Although I should have held my head a little straighter to get the full "American Gothic" look down in this photo. I should add that one of my major goals for Xanga in 2008 was to talk to Xangans without using Xanga. That is, to talk via AIM, e-mail, video, and phone and to actually meet in person. I actually did accomplish that, so I am pleased. If you ever want to talk via AIM or e-mail, just ask; the worst that can happen is that I'm too busy.

    FYI, posting will be limited while I work through some real-life issues and business. In the meantime, please check out Maesworld, a talented new blogger worth reading, and on occasion I'll be recommending more excellent Xangan writers who deserve your attention.

    EDIT: Oh, and I have Skype now too (as of a day ago), although I wouldn't want to talk to complete strangers there for the first time.

  • I swear, you look like Adam Corolla.

    I still miss your Skittles picture.

  • good pic's the r rated is  priceless..plus you kinda got the american gothic down fairly well good luck with the  real-life and business issues.  fun post  thanks for the share..peace !

  • You guys looks so stern.  American Gothic is a pretty accurate way of describing it.

  • Lol, I can see the American Gothic thing, totally.  Didn't you have a pitchfork lying around or somethin??
    Haha, happy new year, darlin! Hope its an awesome one for you!

  • @another_rebel_without_a_cause - Everyone misses the Skittles, man.

  • @another_rebel_without_a_cause - Oh wow, yes, he definitely looks like Adam Corolla. It just hit when I read your comment!

  • haha. Yay for pictures.

  • I don't know why I didn't write this earlier (American Gothic pic must have been too distracting), but I hope you get everything worked out.

  • guys r so lucky.. white hair on you guys is fine.. but if I start getting white hair at 18.. I'll flip!!

    and I will check the other blogger out, but i would also like to see some posts from you so hopefully you don't completly disappear!

  • I check out the blogger right now. As for your white hairs? Men look distinguished with grays,while women just look old. I'm determined to have my hair colored before my funeral, and be buried with Ms. Clairol golden brown #2 color.

  • There's nothing wrong with a little salt and pepper. Jon Stewart has been graying for years, and he just gets sexier with age. Mmmmmhmmm.

    ...sorry, what was I talking about? :P

    And no one can blame you for drooling over the iphone. iphones are gorgeous tempting creatures that no mortal can resist.

  • ^ I agree with those three about the hair.  Anyway, great pictures!   Good luck working through your real-life and business issues for a while.

  • i need to work out some real life issues too.  but i've been pretending they don't exist, so i post more on xanga.  go figure.  nice pics.  the xangan doesn't look very happy there.  what's up with that? 

  • and i love white hair.  i had a huge crush on bill clinton.  white hair's thexy.

  • R-rated and sex films are definitely not for children! 

  • You have not lived until you have met moi.

  • I like the movie store!  That's awesome!

  • Yep, I'm still in China. I'll be here for at least 2 years. I'm going to be studying the language when the next semester starts.
    As for the definition of modesty, I grew up in very conservative circles and heard the word so often. A few years ago I decided to really look up what it meant in the original language and was surprised to find orderly the main gist of the definition. It was a wake up call to really research what passages mean instead of just taking other peoples definitions.
    Thanks for reading.

  • Ha, that first pic is great!

    Don't be ashamed of white hair — the Bible says it's a crown, or something

  • I was talking with one of my dad's cousins at an anniversery.  It turns out that this guy's daughter started getting grey hair at 17! holy cow.

  • Your picture made me think of something my boyfriend has been teasing me about for weeks now. I was telling him about this great childrens movie that I had taken my 8 year old sister to see and said we should get it from Netflix. So he orders it and when he gets it, is looking at the box and reading the description and is a little surprised that this is a kids movie. He reads the description to me and I stop him, horrified. "I told you the wrong title! The kid's movie is 'Flushed Away', not 'Swept Away'!!!!!!" 'Flushed Away' is a cute movie about a pet rat who gets flushed down the toilet and shananigins insue. 'Swept Away' has Madonna and she's this spoiled rich lady who gets shipwrecked and then dominated by one of the sailors on the boat. (It's a weird movie, even more weird when you watch it in Italian...) And yeah, it's rated R. So yeah, R rated kids movies FTW!

  • I did Xanga TV tonight...it was fun!

  • @NightCometh - And I missed it?! Amy! How dare you hold it without specially inviting me? :-p

  • @GreekPhysique - I sent out a pulse!  I really didn't know how to do it...I was just testing.  But 4 people showed up, I was impressed!

  • @NightCometh - Psh, that's only because you're a girl and people don't like homely guys on the Internet. Not fair! :-p They probably found you through the toolbar channel.

  • Have fun with Skype. Wouldn't recommend it for calling your friend down the street, but it's awesome when it comes to international/overseas type stuff, or anything where you want to videoconference. Quality is decent enough since it's *free*! 

  • Gosh, you two looked so bored in that photo!  You should have invited me to make it even more boring, haha.

  • Hey thanks for the ideals just been busy at work, got to pay the bills honey!

  • The video mix up is too funny.... The grey hair suits your personality... and the meet up photo is too cute....

  • The video mix up is hilarious..... The touch of grey suits your personality....... the meet up pic is priceless........... Isn't skpe fun? It really saves me a fortune on calls to my friends around the world. For local friends and internet strangers I like to use Yahoo voice. It seems to have more consistently clear connections.

  • @echois23 - It's kind of sad, but I haven't used Skype as much as I'd like. My real life friends don't seem to have it, and my Internet friends, I am a little careful with--I don't want to send the wrong message by asking to talk on Skype, you know? But we'll have to try Yahoo voice sometime--I love hearing people's voices, it's much better than text.

  • @GreekPhysique - yep it is better than text LOL no typing... hee hee...

  • @echois23 - LOL no comment.
