Do you ever wonder?

Do you ever think to yourself, “I wonder why Megan is always talking about rapping and breakdancing? She’s obviously not doing it out in public, right? Right?! Please tell me I’m right???!!!”

Case closed.

Please don’t tell my mother about this.

P.S. Since this was at the American Royal (Kansas City’s world famous BBQ/Animal Show/Cowboy-fest) I believe I was dancing to country. For more American Royal pictures (less of me, more of the pretty people and random cowboy journalists), click here.

P.P.S. It’s official, I’ve become the laziest blogger of all time. They should take away my blogging license. But, aha! They cannot, because contrary to belief (or possibly reason) you don’t need a license to blog. Or to be an idiot. Or to breakdance in public. While cowboys stare at you. The end.

Single Ladies (Remixed)

I know, once again I’m behind the curve on this one, but my brain is totally on a high because GLEE is tonight (Are you watching yet? I will not stop bugging you until you are? Seriously, I’ll just keep bringing it up over and over again. In fact, I may even start recapping episodes, so you cannot escape the Glee-tastic fun. So you may as well watch it. I’m just saying.) and this little remix gave me the happy’s this morning. Best part is at minute 2:02….

Through the Looking Glass

September 25, 2009/0 Comments/in Blond, Photos /by Megan

All photos taken with my new Diana F+ camera. Still getting the hang of shooting with a plastic camera and 120 film (hello overexposure, how are you!), but enjoying the challenge. Also loving the surprise of finding film you haven’t yet developed, sending it off and getting that big envelope with your prints in the mail. I think I’ve gotten so used to digital shooting, and always seeing what you’ve captured instantaneously, I forgot how fun it is to shoot something and have no idea what you’ve captured on film. The whole point of using a Diana (or a similar camera, like the Holga) is that the beauty is in the imperfections. The light that creeps into shots, random lens flare, they are what make the photos so unique and lovely.

Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself, since almost all of my shots include a nice red flare streak. It’s totally supposed to look like that!

One to Remember

On Friday, Lucy and I walked to her school, where she picked me a few ~~weeds~~ flowers for my desk, which I put in a plastic cup. Then Trent, always the overachiever, had these delivered to my office….

Guess what just showed up at my office?!

…and I squealed and smiled and grinned and giggled like I was turning seventeen, instead of twenty-seven.

——————————————————————————

That evening, I was lucky enough to have a certain friend who refused to let my birthday slip by without celebrating in the company of the loveliest girls on the planet.

Girls who cannot only look gorgeous, but also indulge the crazy in me….

…and make me drink disgusting shots until I whine, cry and make sad faces….

…and who still act like they know me, even after I drop an entire beer on the floor of a bar….

——————————————————————————

Then, after a day of rest and visits to the petting zoo with some wonderful friends and their kids…a surprise afternoon at an amusement park….

…where I screamed my head off on a patriotic-themed roller coaster (Trent dared me to scream Ooooobbbbaaaaammmmaaaa on the way down, but instead I just stuck with the high-pitched wailing that I’d been doing all day), totally beat Trent at a shooting game where I ended up winning a life-sized yellow monkey, Trent won an acoustic guitar (I know, WTF?) and then we had a caricature done with our prizes….

A girl, a boy, a giant yellow monkey and a guitar.

Guys, I’m pretty at twenty-seven. For reals.

——————————————————————————

Thank you to everyone for making my day(s) ah-may-zing. I love you all! And you too! And you, who left me a message with my own personal song! And you, who read me a poem on my voicemail! And you, who sent me an ecard saying I was less crazy than Michael Jackson! Even if it’s totally not true.

Older, and bringing the crazy

This weekend I turn 27-years-old, and since I’m now officially in my late-twenties, I figured it was time to grow up a bit. So I got bangs. Yes, bangs.

Because, people, I am that f’ing deep.

And then I took pictures of myself in the bathroom at work. Again, the profoundness of my life should inspire you.

And yes, I took those photos with my iPhone and then edited them with a new App. I disagree that it’s narcissistic, I’m just trying to share my gifts with you. Truly, you should be thanking me.

I will be awaiting my apologetic fruit basket.

{I think 27 has made me a bit crazy in the head, no?…}
