Alright, alright. Get your collective groan out of the way now. Good? Ok. Now take a deep breath. Do you trust me? *holds out hand* The answer is yes. One more deep breath. Close your eyes, and let me take you on a journey… *slaps nonbeliever* I don’t want to hear what you think of the Twilight series! I don’t care! Now shut up and let’s move on with the blog. Good? Good. Continue reading “[Day 305] BCILAAMTBW Week 5: Edward Cullen”
[Day 304] BCILAAMTBW Week 4: Charlie Banks
Two Charlies in two days! A mini-mini arc! I doubt many of you will recognize this character’s name, so I’ll fill you in: Charlie Banks is one of the two main characters in The Last Days of Summer, my favorite book that I mention in all sorts of different posts. (here and here and here and here and here and here) Charlie is the 3rd baseman for the New York Giants and regular correspondent to Joey Margolis, the book’s 12 year old other main character. And Charlie and I are meant to be. Continue reading “[Day 304] BCILAAMTBW Week 4: Charlie Banks”
[Day 303] BCILAAMTBW Week 3: Charlie Weasley
This three-part Harry Potter mini-arc finishes with the sexy, adventurous, second-eldest Weasley brother, Charlie! This post isn’t going to be very long, but trust me, he’s a necessary part of this week.
Charlie is a risk taker. He trains dragons in Romania, for goodness sakes! And ladies, don’t deny that danger is pretty darned attractive. Life with this Weasley brother won’t ever be dull.
Bonus points: Unlike Harry and Ron, Charlie is actually single for the entirety of the Harry Potter series. There is still the magic bonus, plus you would get to travel and go on wild adventures.
Compatibility rating: 8.
Does more even need to be said?
(Picture taken by Charlie as I rode behind him on a dragon on our honeymoon. Sigh.)
[Day 302] BCILAAMTBW Week 2: Ron Weasley
This is the second of 3 Harry Potter inspired match-made-in-heaven posts. And of course, this week wouldn’t be complete without the inclusion of one Ronald Weasley.
People will argue with me that Ron is kind of a wimp. “Look what happened in the 7th book! He ran out on them! He’s a spoiled brat!” Yeah, but he came back and destroyed a Horcrux and helped Harry and Hermione escape from Gringotts on the back of a freaking DRAGON. So don’t talk to me about being a wimp. Have you ever destroyed a Horcrux that tried to turn you on your best friends because you’re so in love with a girl you never thought would love you back? NO. Continue reading “[Day 302] BCILAAMTBW Week 2: Ron Weasley”
[Day 301] BCILAAMTBW Week 1: Harry Potter
For those of you who don’t watch my Twitter updates to the right of this post, for the next week the theme is: Book Characters I Love and Am Meant To Be With (BCILAAMTBW) Week. It’s part satire, part bibliophilia, part discussion of the perfect man. And it’s only fitting to start out with Harry Potter.* Continue reading “[Day 301] BCILAAMTBW Week 1: Harry Potter”
[Day 300] What an accomplishment
I wonder if this was how Ze Frank felt when he was on the 300th episode of The Show. Probably not quite the same, since a. he didn’t do weekends, b. it wasn’t about self discovery, and c. people were actually watching him. But I’m sure there was a certain nostalgia when he looked back on an almost completed year. Continue reading “[Day 300] What an accomplishment”
[Day 299] Housekeeping because I’m tired
Today I had originally planned on giving you a highly introspective post on old friends and the evolution and maturation of relationships, but instead I’m going to whine about my week because I’m exhausted and I still have Congress stuff to do. Continue reading “[Day 299] Housekeeping because I’m tired”

[Day 297] The Girl Called Gone (Original Song)
Used some GarageBand loops. This song is a bit different, but I had fun recording it. Luckily, I finished the day before I got sick.
[Day 296] Teeshirt week 7: Basketball
To close off teeshirt week, I thought it would be a good idea to revisit the teeshirt I have owned the longest and can still wear: my very first basketball jersey, all the way from 3rd grade.* I don’t remember the name of our team, who was on my team, or how we did; all I know is that I fell in love with the sport almost immediately.
