Nope, I didn't buy anything Prada. That would only happen if Second Time Around had a Prada item for under $50. What actually happened is I took a personality test, it was very thorough and came up with interesting results and suggestions. Click here to read the full report, and if you really know me tell me what you think because I am curious for other peoples opinions.
Anyway, the results group your different personality traits as very high, slightly high, average, slightly low, and low. My three very high traits were femininity (I can accept this since it gave me average masculinity as well), openness, and..... attention to style. It went even further to say:
You have a strong sense of style and value your personal presentation - friends may even seek your style advice from time to time.
Hahaha.... something went wrong there, I don't think anyone has ever asked me for style advice, it's usually the other way around.

Procrastination here I come!
GOLD, I've struck gold! I found a website that lets you build south park characters- eyes, body, hat, weapons, you name it.
Here is "the dirty hippy" (aka college melanie) as a south park character:
This website is my new love!

Survey Says....
My friend Claire answered a survey on her blog and then "tagged" me to answer it too. I like surveys and I like goofing off....thus, here we go.
What were you doing 10 years ago?
Hmmm... let's see. Ten years ago I was 13, it was second trimester (yup, had trimesters in Jr. high) of eighth grade. I was in the process of growing 7 inches and gaining 20 pounds (that's a little less than 3 lbs per inch...so consequently I was extremely skinny and due to my long limbs I resembled a spider). I was trying to figure out how to tell my mother that I had gotten my period a year earlier and hadn't gotten it since. I didn't tell her when I first got my period because she had told everyone about my first boyfriend and they all embarrassed me, I could only imagine what was going to happen when I told her I was menstruating. I was also growing out my hair, I had cut it into a pixie cut- ala Julia Roberts in "Hook", and it was not a pretty process. The original hair cut had prompted the nickname "Tink", which I liked, but somehow by this point it had morphed into "Captain Winkey" and some people just outright called me Richard. It was bad at the time, but super funny now... maybe I'll find a picture and scan it to put it up here.
What were you doing 1 year ago?
Living on the third floor of a charter high school in Boston, five doors down from my cheating girlfriend. Life was so hectic, I hardly slept and was constantly running around, forgetting to eat, and I cried 15-20 lbs of college and some high school weight away. When was that huge Noreaster? It was either this week or last week last year, and we had the whole week off, but somehow that still didn't help me to catch-up or stabilize. You wanna know the craziest thing of all? I miss it sooooo much!
Five snacks I enjoy:
1. Pork rinds with lime and salt (It's a Mexican thing, I don't expect you to understand)
2. Lemon-Lime Lucas- It is essentially lemon-lime flavored salt "candy". I used to get it from the ice cream man daily. My nose would sweat from all the sodium. My mom made me stop because she feared for my kidneys and would tell me horror stories about living on dialysis. I still have cravings for it. (another Mexican thing, again, don't expect you to understand).
3. "Crack". Last year a teacher at MATCH made "crack" for the tutors. It was some sort of chexmix with sugar...ugh, I can't explain it, but it was heavenly!
4. Salted Almonds- a must for any poor person- so much healthy goodness in each nut (I know the salted part is unhealthy- leave me alone mom!)
5. Anything that combines chocolate, peanut butter and salt- like peanut butter filled, chocolate covered pretzels. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but that is my soft-spot.
Five songs to which I know all the lyrics
Back in 2001 I was thinking of transferring and my uncle was pressuring me to apply to Harvard. One day at dinner I was complaining to my friends that it would just be a waste of money because all Harvard students had at least one thing that they were exceptional at, and I was mediocre at best at everything I did. Claire responded by telling me that she had never met someone who knew soooo many song lyrics and that I should tell Harvard that.
Here are the top five:
1. Almost every Jackson Browne song. Favorites: These Days, The Pretender and For a Dancer (which will play at my mother's funeral per her request)
2. I Like Big Butts- Sir Mix A Lot. I have a great "music video" of this, if you haven't seen it, ask next time you see me ;).
3. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun- Cyndi Lauper. I went as Cyndi for Halloween last year, I will upload that pic when I get a chance.
4. Dreams- Cranberries (I know all the words to a lot of their songs- gotta love Dolores!)
5. Only the Good Die Young- Billy Joel. This is my theme song- just ask Neda, she'll tell you.
...this is ridiculous, I know all the words to at least 30 songs, probably a lot more, I like lyrics, I like to know all the lyrics to the songs I like. Other songs that came to mind during this: Since U Been Gone, Kelly Clarkson (since they always play it at the lesbo clubs); Somebody Told Me, The Killers; Humps, Black Eyed Peas; Piano Man (and many others), Billy Joel; Tiny Dancer (thank you Almost Famous), Elton John, Space Oddity, David Bowie....tons of cat Stevens, the go-gos, ugh....to many songs!
Five things I would do if I were a millionaire
1. Start a Trust Fund to be used for improving Urban education
2. Pay off my student loans so I can do the work I want without having to worry about salary!
3. Tell Shabori to work her butt off in high school and then apply to and attend any college she wants, on my bill.
4. Buy a modest but cute apartment, decorate it, paint it, and buy a puppy to live with me in it.
5. (Warning this is really crunchy) Work on buying more organic and toxin free products.
Five bad habits
1. Wasting work time on personal business
2. Falling for women who are emotionally unavailable
3. Talking too loudly (I get easily excited)
4. Forgetting to e-mail people back for extended periods of time
5. Loosing things- keys, cell phones, scarves, gloves, etc etc
Five things I like doing
1. Listening to music- my little man recently got me an ipod, thanks scott!
2. Reading, not having a book that I am really into affects my mood badly.
3. Watching movies and TV, now that I have free time and netflix this is all I ever really do
4. Playing team sports- softball, dodgeball, and football are my favorites
5. Cuddling, but the cuddler has to also be the cuddling sort or it doesn't have the same affect!
....hmmmm, that felt a little like an online dating question.
Five things I would never wear, buy or get new again
I don't like this question. Never is too strong of a word... I am a pretty random person, there's not much I can't see myself not getting- a gun? but I never bought one in the first place. A tube-top?- but I can't be sure of that. A crimper? but I like 80's nights. Therefore, I reject the question!
Five favorite toys
1. My ipod shuffle
2. My Darth Vader with Anakin inside
3. My video camera- even though its not actually mine and people get embarrassed when I use it.
4. My skis- even though I don't have enough moola to use them often.
5. I wish I had a sex toy to put on here- but alas! My box of pictures and mementos
Now I'm supposed to pass it on and tag five more people. My picks are D.B. Echo, since he has a blog, Linds, Lei, Pia, and Bekka.

Internet Radio
I found an AMAZING internet radio station!
Accuradio
They have categories you can choose from including:
Classic Rocktober
A Flock of Eighties
Listening Post (discover new rock)
Celtic
Brit Rock
Twang
Broadway
Piano Jazz
High Fidelity (Indie Rock)
And on top of having such awesome options, they also give you info about the song that is playing: Song name, band name, album title, year, and a picture of the cover. AND you can skip songs, and you can click off on artists you DON'T want to hear songs from. AWESOME.
I am listening to Classic Rocktober, and learning more about bands that I have been trying to familiarize myself with for a while. Seriously, if you enjoy the luxury of listening to web radio then you should click on the link (I have already added it to my favorites!)

Whatcha gonna do wit all that breast...
...all that breast inside that shirt? I'm gonna make make make you work. Make you work work, make you work.
If you have seen me since yesterday you know that I was watching the My Humps video non-stop yesterday at work. Every time I finish I project I watch it as a treat.
You have to click on the link and watch the video and you HAVE to pay attention to what Fergie does during the red "works" in the lyrics above. And then look at Fergie's and will.i.am's facial expressions.
other great moments to watch for:
1. Every time will.i.am goes "Ohhh" after they say "she's got me spendin'"
2. The dance move the girls do when they say "Make you scream, make you scream."
3. The dance moves during the "Imma start some drama, you don't want no drama." part...Fergie looks really silly.
4. The way Fergie sticks out her butt when she says, "And move my hump."
5. The way Fergie sticks her chest out when she says, "In the front" and the facial expression she makes.
6. After #5, the dance move will.i.am does during his "Ohhh"
7. All the random and amazing stuff that goes on during the breathing part
8. Finally, the little chuckle Fergie gives at the end.
what's that you say? I am spending too much time watching this video...yes, that's true, but it's not gonna stop me from watching it at least 5 more times, and wishing that Toast wasn't retro so they would play the song and I could bust out my moves tonight!
