questions!

Waaaaay too late to be polite... here's a list of questions and answers from the New German Girl (P.S. I love her, if you haven't read her, you must must MUST!)

1. If you could give your readers one piece of advice, what would it be?
 Write for yourself. You're never going to make everyone happy. I started my blog to keep friends and family posted on my life, without having to send out mass emails. Obviously its evolved a bit since then, but I still write for myself. Post as often as I like, about things that I like. Its the best way you'll stick with it, and honestly earn more readers because you're being who you really are as opposed to being a phoney boloney.

2. Name the three things that you love the most about your life.
--I love getting paid to do nothing (ahhhhhh the beauty of unemployment insurance)
--I know someone everywhere. Having lived around the country, I can find someone to get a beer with, or crash on their couch, in nearly every state!
--I have good looks AND personality. Whoop!!



3. If you could switch places with any one of your friends or family members for one day, who would you choose and why?
I honestly like my life as is (most days) and wouldn't switch my life with anyone's! Cheesey? Who cares! :)


4. What is one trend that you wish didn’t exist or that had never caught on?
 I can only pick one?! Today, I'd say jeggings. I'm sorry. Wear skinny jeans. Wear leggings. Jeggings are just hybrid idiot looking pants.

5. Name three inventions you consider to be ingenious.
fermentation (beer... DUH!)
the internet (Thanks Al Gore!!)
Q-tips

6. At your funeral, you want people to remember you as…
 Fun loving, caring and loyal. I have no spouse or children, so my brother gets my life insurance, and the instructions are to have a giant party, in my honor. Wake style. Lots of booze, food, music, telling awesome Anne stories.

7. If you could be famous, what would you like to be famous for and what celebrities would be in your posse?
Being Awesome.
The cast of How I Met Your Mother and Betty White. That's how we roll.

8. If you were going to host a blogger house party which bloggers would you invite and what would go down?
Well most house parties I have include Beer Pong (we play the Beruit Version) and Guitar Hero. My guest list would include:
Heather @ Boyfriend Challenged
Jon @ 1000 Tiny Things I Hate
All the Guys @ American Drink
Ashley @ One Crazy Brunette Chick
Sofia @ The Brewery
and
The Faux Trixie @ The Faux Trixie

I'm guilty of 4 of 7 of these. But I'm not going to tell you which ones.

Dear Shitty Friend,

Remember when you promised those football tickets to me? Remember when we sat around the campfire making plans about how much fun it will be? Remember when I asked if I could pay you at the game, and you said "Yes"? Clearly you do not remember. I would like to thank you for forgetting all common decency when you sold my tickets to someone else. I would like to thank you for "needing the money" so badly that you didn't even bother to ask me for it. What's that? I was out of the state? Hey, guess what, I have a fucking cell phone. Oh, you needed the money so badly, you couldn't even give me a heads up that the tickets, may in fact, be sold to another? Well, thank you dear friend. Thank you for being a douche and selling them to someone else. Thank you for no making it so that I have not seen one damn game this year in person. Thank you, shitty, shitty friend.

Sincerely,

Thursday, November 18

I'M SORRY I CAN'T HEAR YOU

One of these days I'm going to realize the value of watching a concert from the balcony and coming home without two days of ringing ears. One of these days I'm going to realize I'm too old to go charging across the pit and fight my way through the crush to set up shop at the rail, four feet from the band. Yesterday was not that day. 

I love you Bad Religion. Thanks again for another great show! (and thanks to Ben for the great quote above, stolen from his facebook page, hahaa!)

These guys may be nearly 40, but they still know how to rock

 Photobooth at a bar after the show? 
Um... YES PLEASE!
