A Monday Vignette

/3 Comments/in , , , /by

I’m feeling a little out of sorts today…a little crazy, a little nerdy, quite a bit sleepy. In fact, I’m probably all seven of Snow White’s dwarfs smushed up into one blond maniac. So today’s post is going to reflect the insanity of my daily life. And my ADD problem.

————————————————————————-

Today on the way to school, Lucy picked another favorite song. She thought it was jingle bells, but it was really this. Again, my daughter is so much cooler than me, it’s ridiculous. I should send her to all of my Christmas parties as my liason. They’d like her better anyway.

————————————————————————-

It’s only 11 a.m. and I’ve already had three meetings today that made me want to bang my head against a wall. Slowly.

————————————————————————-

On Saturday, the guy and I attended this Christmas party that was “The Newlywed Game” themed. Yes, I attended a themed party. And I played along quite nicely, I must say. Trent was very impressed that I didn’t smack the hostmaster guy upside the head. The best part of the evening, BY FAR, was when they interviewed our friends Heath and Mikayla, and somehow Mikayla morphed into a version of me. That girl was on fire! A sarcasm sandwich! It was great to watch. Especially when she called the announcer old and told him that he wasn’t invited to their wedding. I love it when the nice girls get bitchy! Makes me feel so much better about my own grinch-ness.

Besties

Is it Christmas yet? Because I miss these people!

Do you have Photoshop, but don’t want to pay for actions to make your pictures pop (check out that alliteration AND rhyming skills, yeah)? Then go here, right now, for a GREAT set FREE of actions that I wiggity-wuv. You won’t regreat it. At least, not as much as I regret saying wiggity-wuv.

I’m in the midst of a heartfelt review of the Twilight movie, but I think it should be saved for Nerd Herd Thursday. So here is this to tide you over. You’re welcome.

————————————————————————-

Speaking of Twilight, have I mentioned how much I’m in love with Paramore right now. I love them. Hayley Williams is totally the girl in my high school that I wanted to be, but could never get the guts up to talk to. I spent most of Friday night drinking wine, folding laundry and head banging/dancing/lip synching to Paramore’s RIOT! album, and I swear to God, I woke up with massive neck pain the next day. The headbanging was out. of. control.


Dear Hayley Williams,

Hayley Williams

Please be my friend. I am cooler than I appear at first glance. And also, I want your hair. And could you be any cuter when you interview Rob Pattison from Twilight? I don’t think so. It’s an impossibility.

Your loyal stalker fan,
Megan

The end. Happy Monday!

Dreading the Dance-Off

/4 Comments/in , /by

Let’s just get this out of the way…I’m not a dancer. Or a singer. Or talented in any form of performance art. Although I do find myself screaming along to Paramore songs in my car, I’ll only do it when I’m alone, to save the eardrums of the innocent. I acted in a few plays in high school, but I usually played the goofy friend or had the part that was basically just a human prop (“Girl Sitting at Cafe Table”). Once I was a member of a cast that acted out a skit in a high school pagent. It was the Mr. MHS pagent, and my contestant was a guy who did a mean Chris Farley impression, so his talent was acting out the skit about “the van down by the river.” I played the sarcastic female child, sitting on the couch with my arms folded. It deserved an Oscar, I was totally snubbed. At least my guy won the pagent.

[Sidenote: Trent and I flew back from Tennessee on Saturday, and while we were waiting for our luggage, Trent turned to me and said, “I think we went to high school with that guy.” And we spent 10 furious minutes trying to figure out who he was. Then, while awkwardly sitting in close quarters on the shuttle to the airport parking lot, Trent said, “Isn’t that Drew {insert last name here}?” Yes, yes it was. And not only was he in my class, but he was the aforementioned Mr. MHS contestant who could do a mean Chris Farely impression. And then I refused to say hi to him because I was embarrassed. Totally rational, I know.]

Since that fabulous acting debut, which reserved me quite the primary spot in our high school yearbook, I haven’t done much thespian work. My biggest performance since would have to be last year’s Cabaroke experience, in which Mikayla and Trent sang along to Christmas tunes and I bobbed my head in the background. So imagine my horror when I recieved an email from my mother-in-law, explaining that not only would we be playing enough board games this Christmas Eve to make my head explode, there would also be a karaoke machine AAANNNDDD a talent show. With a trophy. And people who have talent. And me.

So when I saw this video today on another site, I vowed to participate fully in said talent show (after several glasses of wine). Because once they see me in all my fancy pants glory, I will never have to worry about exhibiting talent again. It was like looking in a mirror to see what everyone else sees when I claim I can breakdance.

What a way to end my storied performance career.

Bored.

I’m lazy.

I think the internet is lazy too.

Also, I want cupcakes…somebody get on that.

Nerd Herd Thursday on Friday – Movie Premiere Edition

/2 Comments/in , /by

Today I am very busy swooning. And being dazzled. And getting lost in the eyes of a certain vampire.

Twilight Movie

If you need me, I can be found at the AMC 30 movie theater working to help our crumpled economy with my $12 ticket. I’m the one with the t-shirt that says Edward Cullen Dazzles.

No, not that one. The one that’s over the age of 13 with the shirt that says Edward Cullen Dazzles.

Yeah….

I know, as if the wizard obsessing and ewok cuddling and Star Trek loving and keeper of the ring watching wasn’t enough to label me a total loon, now I have this too.

And this, my friends, is why I will never have a shortage of fodder for Nerd Herd postings. Thankyouverymuch.

No Longer Hangin’ So Tough

Tired.

Last night was awesome, but now I want to crawl into a hole and die.

I wish I had pictures to show you, but they are tucked away on the memory cards of two other NKOTB attendees. Hopefully I’ll get them later this week.

For now, just know that your loyal Crazybanana had the best time last night. I’m so lucky to have my friends. I think I forgot how much I missed them.

And how susceptible we all are to peer pressure.

Recipe for NKOTB Fun Sandwich
5 girls from around the country who have lots of old stories to bring up at 1 a.m.
1 bottle of cheap champagne
1 giant hotdog, 1 order of brisket
1 vegan claiming she’s going to puke
2 side ponytails
1 burned NKOTB CD
5 concert tickets
3 exlamations of how the hell Jordan can still hit those high notes
1 hotel room
1 room service order consisting of 2 packages of vegan ramen, 3 chicken wraps, gatorade and a Twix bar
Vodka
1 pole to dance upon
1 alarm to wake you up for work at 6 a.m.

Mix all ingredients together thouroughly. Add several digital cameras if desired. Use kissing sparsely, but hugs can be added in whatever quantity you desire. And make sure there is one bed for cuddling, and one for those of you who don’t like people in your bubble.
