Starbucks and Poop: Who's In It to Win It?

See this? This could be yours with $25 worth of free, yummy, Starbucks on it. All you have to do is shoot the poop with me, until November 1, at midnight (so really, November 2). All you have to do is comment as often as you can, and use the word "poop" in your comment. It's THAT easy. Plus, poop is a lot of fun to say. However shoots the poop the most (using the word poop) wins the $25 Starbucks.

If you need help, here's a sample of some of the awesome comments I have received already this week:

"I hope she used her best "no soup for you" Soup Nazi impersonation when she rejected your request for a prompt? Great story about listening to life's little messages. I'm glad you took your friend up. The world of journalism would be a different place without you :) Poop. Poo. (not sure what that is all about but thought I would join in?)"

"oh my, when I read your blog, I about pooped my pants. And then when I saw that Starbucks was involved, another round of poop. "

"How do spidey & the angel poop in those costumes? Can't be easy"

 See how easy that is? And you know, I'd REALLY like to send you that Starbucks. You look like you could use it. Pumpkin Spice Lattes are only in season for a little while. You know you want it...

Red Writing Hood: Unwanted

"That'll teach you to feed the chickens when I tell you to!" Kane hears as he goes flying into the firewood stacked against the house from the force of his father's fist slamming into his chest. His father was coming towards him. He wanted to run but he couldn't breathe. He was tired of the never ending fists, the expected beatings, and the drunken chaos that his life had become since his mother died two years ago. He was tired of feeling like an incompetent fool that couldn't do anything right. His fists curled up in balls beside him as he struggled to regain his breath, watching his father come closer, his own fists extended and ready to fly.

"I ain't no punchin' bag!" He flew from the firewood stack, grabbing a piece of wood as he went. "I'm tired of you! I'm tired of your fists! I am NOT a punchin' bag!"

WHACK. His father stopped.

"I ain't no punchin' bag!"

WHACK. A sound similar to rain hitting the house is heard and he pauses for half a second, seeing the blood, but not really seeing it.

"I ain't no igit!"

WHACK! A soft thump is heard as a heavy body hits the ground. softened by the pool of blood that is quickly forming.

"You cain't do this no more! Get up, Mr. Tough Guy. Let's see ya hit me now!"

WHACK! WHACK!

"Nooooo! Stop! You gonna kill him!!! Stop Kane! Stop! Please stop!" Cat's screaming caught up with Kane and he stopped just short of hitting her as she slid next to their father, and looked him over. "Why, Kane? Why?" She looked up at him for answers he couldn't give. "Why?" Her tears spilled over her cheeks as she saw his mutilated face, and the log shaped dent on the side of his head. "Kane William Shaw! If he dies, I declare you dead to me. DEAD TO ME." She picked up a piece of the splintered wood laying all around and threw it at Kane. "Poppa was right! You are evil! EVIL! How could you do this? How could you do this to your own daddy? Whhhhyyyyyyyyy?" She made a small whimper then laid her head down on her father's chest.

Kane looked at what he had done, at his sister laying there at the side of their father, yet another person taking his father's side. A growl erupted from his throat that shook Cat to the core, then he turned and ran into the hills behind the house.






I based today's assignment on my character from last week's story, as he made such a good villain before. Critique is welcome and wanted.

Scissor Lady

I managed to find the ultimate pair of mom jeans at a thrift store last week! Usually mom jeans are horribly uncomfortable, but this pair actually fits like a dream and is just the right combination of akward and unflattering. I roughed them up with sandpaper to make some holes in them too. They looks perfect paired with my H&M peter pan collar shirt and thrifted drama shoes.

I was going for 'meadow fairy princess' in the hair department today, but it somehow ended up looking more 'Edward Scissorhands'.

'Justin Bieber: Never Say Never' Trailer

Oh my gosh.

A movie about Justin Bieber's life?

But he's not even hit puberty yet.
Thank goodness it's going to be in 3-D!

I have nothing else to say.

Step Up 4Ever

First there was Step Up. Then there was Step Up 2 The Streets. Then there was Step Up 3-D. Now there is Step Up 4Ever. And I thought the I Know What You Did Last Summer series was excessive. Set to be released in 2012, Step Up 4Ever is supposed to be the last installment (not that I have seen any of them). Apparently this is the year of the 4's. I would write more about the cast and plot....but it's the same in every movie.

'Mission Impossible 4'....Really?

It will be known as Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol. Tom Cruise will participate so at least they're not taking the Bourne approach. The film is currently being shot in Dubai and is set to hit theaters in 2011.

Last Week's Fact or Fiction

1. My ancestry hails from Germany, Scotland, and Ireland.

True. I'm also part Dutch. I tend to favor the Irish in me though. I'm definitely full of blarney.

(google image)

2. GC's ancestry is Native American, Russian, and English.

False. GC is English but that's all I know of his ancestry. I think that's all HE knows of his ancestry!

(google image)

3. My dad's ancestry is Cherokee and French.

True. My dad is not my natural father, he adopted me when he married my mother when I was 5. Thus the differences in our ancestry.

Living in the mainstream is such a lame dream.

Paisley and earth tones aren't normally my thing, but I found the peter pan collar and buttons too adorable to pass up on this dress. I bought it from Jayne's blog shop and its H&M. Not surprising that the last thing I bought from her blog shop was also an H&M dress with numerous buttons!

I added my garage sale cameo brooch because it matched so perfectly.

Croc Docs never fail me.

'Tru Blood's' Ryan Kwanten to Play Charles Manson

Ryan Kwanten plays Jason Stackhouse on Tru Blood. Jason Stackhouse is in the Fellowship of the Sun Church, a cult that believe vampires deserve to burn in hell. Ryan Kwanten will play Charles Manson. Charles Manson is the real-life leader of a terrifying cult. See a pattern? Ever since reading the first 50 pages of Helter Skelter (the biography of Manson and his murders) and becoming a paranoid mess, I've had a fear and fascination of Charles Manson. So the fact that there is a new film coming out called The Family both terrifies and excites me. The film will focus on the murders more than the life of Manson, but both are equally intriguing. I'm not sure if this stud can play a psycho killer, but props to him if he does it well. What do you think?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 "Epic Finale" Featurette

I'm in tears. When this ends, I will be crying. Go ahead and don't judge me.

Leighton Meester's Song From the New Movie 'Country Strong'

Watch out Gossip Girl, Blair is moving up to the big screen. Leighton Meester (who sang in the song "Good Girls Go Bad" with Cobra Starship) will be in the new movie Country Strong with Tim McGraw and Gwyneth Paltrow. Meester will play Chiles Stanton, Paltrow's younger competition. The film follows country music star Kelly Canter (Paltrow) who is trying to make a comeback after several bouts with alcoholism. I hate country music, but this looks like it could be pretty good.

Harry Potter 7 Part 1 Run Time Announced

Nov. 19 at midnight, I will be sitting in a theater for 2 hours, 45 minutes and 53 seconds.

Beautiful English Country Gardens

In the days of old England, peasants owned small homes with small gardens and acted as workers in the small villages. These gardens, despite their small size, had to be able to supply the entire family with all of their gardening needs. The kitchen garden would consist of fruits, herbs and vegetables, and sometimes even flowers would be grown. The most popular flowers that you will find in

Thriller Movie

Apparently, This Isn't It. After his 2009 tribute to Michael Jackson's last concert, director Kenny Ortega (High School Musical 1-3) is looking to create a Thriller movie. According to Perez Hilton, Ortega is set to direct and Jeremy Garelick (The Hangover) is set to write the script. The plot is being kept secret, but in the words of my good friend Katie Thisdell "isn't the music video already the movie about Thriller?"

'Avatar' 2 and 3 Set For 2014 and 2015

Though James Cameron has been talking about this for a while, Avatar 2 and 3 now have set release dates. Production will start next year and the first sequel will be release in Dec. 2014, the second in Dec. 2015. No titles or any other details have been released yet, but Cameron has said that the sequels will be filmed back to back in one long production. The Hobbit (being released in two parts) will come out Dec. 2012 and Dec. 2013 leaving us with some great holiday films. No complaints here.

'Batman 3' Name

The Dark Knight Rises....really? Come on Christopher Nolan. Whatever, I shouldn't criticize the master when he's at work. But really? Filming will begin April 3, 2011 in New Orleans and Nolan has also announced that the Riddler will not be the villain. No news yet on who the bad guy will be, but I'll keep you posted.

Live and Love...Out Loud

Don't forget to leave a comment full of poop for a chance to win a $25 Starbucks gift card, and a week sitting at the top of my blog for all of blogland to see (and drool over).

Happy Wednesday y'all!

Long, Long, Long

So the entire week before Halloween is officially "dress-up in costume" at American Apparel. Can you guess what I went as?

YUP. A goth. There was black lipstick involved. Let's just say it's really a good thing I didn't throw out that pyramid stud cuff leftover from my grade nine mall punk days. I also don't own a crucifix necklace, so I went with a Star of David in keeping with the 'subversive religiosity' theme.

Everyone else had the cutest costumes on Monday, so I am sharing some of my favourites.

Jenn as Snow White

Raena as the Tooth Fairy

Joel as a Sea Captain (note the corn cob pipe)

Cass as Tinkerbell
