BSOW & The Year in Blogging
Today I have a very special treat for you. Many of us enjoyed feeling the Christmas spirit through the eyes of our little ones. Today I'm sharing my ice cream with a bonafide teenager. It's been awhile since I've viewed the world with teenage eyes, but I can tell you, these posts take me back. They'll take you back too...
Getting to Know You (I love learning all these facts about her!!) Dreams Am I Lying? (Like 2 Truths & a Lie!!) Sibling Survey (so funny!) How to Care for Your Pet (Rock)
She's even a budding photographer!!
Please welcome The Kekster (Who also happens to be the daughter of my 2 Truths partner in crime, CA Girl) to The Scoop on Poop. You can read all about her special post about her Christmas she wrote just for us here.
The rest of this post is dedicated to you, my readers. It is filled with your comments and love (credit goes to A Belle, A Bean & a Chicago Dog for this idea), your humor, and your support. Without you, my blog would be boring, seriously. Thank you for your love.
Enjoy.
"That makes me want to punch somebody, and by somebody I mean that lady. What a sick, sick thing to do. Also I've read that snorting a shark's testicle will clear that snatch stank right up...or was that for crack itch..."
"Now let's talk about your snatch stench...is this a musky type of thing or more of a flower gone bad type of thing? Okay, that was disgusting...Sorry, but you started! I love your post-it note thing you got going on. Just curious are they made from recycled paper cause I'm environmentally conscious, you know?"
"...don't you worry - your snatch scent fund is growing every day! and we're going to do a live telethon. i'm gonna see if george clooney will host it..."
"I shaved my legs tonight (March 3, 2010) for the first time since the end of September. Yep, true story! The razor was new, now beyond dull...."
"Pickin' and a flickin' and then a finger lickin'. Kids and boogers it's just a fact a life:)"
"You have an obsession with poop. He has an obsession with weiners. You're killing me. Lots of laughs going on over here! "
"You totally had to look up how to spell supah callah fragah listic expe allah docious didn't you ?? <--- look i didn't.. and i spelled it even BETTAH. :)"
"Lol. Pardon me while I pick myself up off the floor. She is hilarious! I nearly busted a gut. LOVE IT!"
"oh, thanks a lot. now how am I supposed to see the keys through the tears???
I tell ya, that was one of the most beautiful, beautiful things I"ve read on loving our children ferociously. That piece of writing is a marvel and has to become part of something something HUGE I don't know what,but HUGE.incredible and here I go again and gush gush but ohemgee, that was something I could never read a loud without my voice breaking. standing O over here, girl, that was sheer shining other worldly."
"Okay, I think my favorite moments by FAR were the disclaimers, rofl"
"Your bra feels so proud right now!"
"It really is the catch all. Today, I was taking a shower and there was sand, crumbs and a lego....a LEGO? How did I not notice that one? Love it!!"
"My fam gets ants in their pants and refuses to leave their tongues in their mouths. Frustrating."
"Wow...Jellybean did some dishes? LOL."
"enough about poop, you're the shit! "
"You only find time to read when you poop? Why am I not surprised? lol That's hilarious. Sounds like me! Oh and you know what? I had a crush on the same guys! lol"
"I have a migraine right now. I do want to smack him. What was he thinking?"
"'I'm still dying from this line: "I'm glad you like the poop. I'm glad you have smelled my poop and found it sweet." I don't know if you meant for it to across that way or not, but it cracked me up! lol "
"aww, this is so sweet. sometimes, the one we want is not the one we were destined to be with. good thing you gave him another chance.
you sure have saved a lot of cab fare :)"
"Our two year olds would be dangerous together. I blame it all on the dimples."
"LOL! Already a player! Too funny. You poor thing...:o)"
"She looks hardcore, the perfect look for a true hip hop dancer! :)"
"Nothing like a little slice of reality to make you laugh! Hahaha."
"I could have used this yesterday and today. The little one pooped in the tub and then today refused to wear underwear or a diaper. That was pretty icky to clean!"
"You are a story teller for sure! And you have an interesting life."
"i think the second one is a lie. right, i'd rather think of you as adopted (who turned out amazingly well) than karaoke-singing deaf mom...
i know, i'm sick. it's the pill talking..."
"Great photos! Glad the cow was wrangled back into the pasture. Can you imagine the trail of poop it would've left all over the place? Eww!
Good luck this weekend. I'll be waiting to hear from you before sending out the troops."okay, now i really have to go pee...."
"I love that in the time it would take to get the damn TP, he sent you fifteen billion texts. Men.
And, ick on the smell."
"hahahhah too funny-my man cannot poop in public places, and does not even want anyone to hear him when he is at home so he turns the shower on-"
"I don't know which is more disturbing: that you're blogging about this or that he was texting from there. Toss-up! lol"
"this post stinks! lol i had to! and i concur, definitely full of poop!"
"Dude. Where have you been all summer? Hanging out with your kids or something?! Jeez...priorities. Blogging, reading my blog, THEN kids. Anyway, looks like you guys have been having fun. Even without me which I'm not even sure is possible. You're probably faking it, right?!"
"I never understood why Snoopy slept on top of his house. I was a little jealous...that was before I was old enough to realize no-one wants to sleep on top of their house."
"Now...I will say number 1 is the lie, I won't remember that I said #1, but I choose #1 because why would you keep reading a book if you hated it. Unless you hated it in that sense that it was intense and you couldn't wait to see the end!! I still say #1. Do you think I will remember that I said #1 now that I've said it a bunch of times???"
"You build that tension so nicely. Ugh, alleyways are always bad news. I felt like screaming at the woman "Don't go in there."
I'm that person who does that at movies. The one you want to strangle."Just putting that out there."
"Oh man some of those need a rating. hahahaha. The laundry one is classic. hahaha. And well that fart one...BHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Too funny! Plus now I don't feel so alone. I've been certain that my laundry is plotting against me for some time now!"
"oh those little turds. love them!"
"Whoa! I was about to rat you out. Not really. But, I did think you were about to tell us all you were taking up bootleg video making if the blogging thing doesn't pan out!"
"I haven't pooped in the poopy pot in two whole poopy days. So I need a poop colored coffee drink to help me poop because all these poopy pants told me that pooped colored Starbucks drinks helps you to poop in the poopy pot. I'm sure like to take poops at Starbucks. I bet they have a excellent poopy pot. :o)
-The Poopy McNeedtoPoop Pooper"B) I love Penis and Perb! I will actually record new episodes so I don't miss anything. Hmmm...perhaps I should not tell people that."
"BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Your kids are awesome.
Having a butt that sticks out is a good thing."HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

******************************************
Last Week's Fact or Fiction
1. My favorite present ever was an HP computer.
TRUE. My dad is not a gift giver. I have no memory of him giving me anything other than a hard time (and his last name) as I was growing up. The Christmas he surprised me with this computer is one I will ALWAYS remember. It was the new Pavilion Slimlines and I was SO thrilled.
2. My favorite Christmas album is "The Nutcracker".
FALSE. Haha, if you guessed #2 you were right. I actually own Martina McBride's Christmas and a Faith Hill Christmas, but, I don't own the ones I really want (yet). I grew up listing to Tennessee William's versions (which I love) but I really really really really love the Boyz II Men Christmas album above all others.
3. My favorite Christmas special is "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer".
TRUE. I will never tire of this Christmas special as long as I live. What's not to love? You've got Santa, Burl Ives, Yukon Cornelius, an island full of misfit toys, Bumble, an elf who wants to be a dentist, and a reindeer with a red nose. A movie of misfits made for misfits like me.

The King's Speech
Things that are a bad idea: watching The King's Speech immediately after watching Black Swan. The fast paced insanity of Black Swan was dragged down by the stuttering, stammering Colin Firth. After sitting through the first half hour I just wanted to shout T-t-t-t-t-today junior! Don't get me wrong, Firth's performance was incredible and will definitely give Jesse Eisenberg a run for his money for this year's Best Actor, but the film just needed more of a lively feel. Though I love Helena Bonham Carter, her role was definitely not worthy of Best Supporting Actress and her character could have played a much bigger role. Geoffry Rush had a nice yet not incredibly boundary-pushing performance. And while many of the shot angles were very different and beautiful, this film was probably my biggest disappointment. It was definitely the one I was looking forward to most and then it didn't live up to its hype. How rude! Overall a decent film, but not Best Picture worthy and certainly not as strong as some of its opponents (cough Black Swan cough).
Black Swan
It's been quite some time since I've seen a truly surprising piece of art on screen. While there have been some great movies this year — Inception, The Social Network, Easy A (and I stand by that one) — there is simply no comparison. The technique and premise that director Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler and Requiem for a Dream) used to lay out the simple concepts of obsession and the dangers of perfection was shockingly beautiful to behold. The majority of the film was graphic, gruesome and highly disturbing, but it was done with such beauty that I didn't once fully look away. After hearing about her performance from practically everyone who had already seen the film, Natalie Portman did not disappoint. Her transformation to utter insanity was deliciously perfect. Everything in this film (ironically) was done to perfection. The themes were not force fed to the audience, but rather offered in brief tastes that left me yearning for more. Though I already made my predictions earlier, I take back my Best Picture vote and instead offer it to this work of cinematic excellence. But PLEASE don't take my word for it. It doesn't matter if you don't like scary movies or whatever your excuse may be, make an exception.

Thundering blissfully towards death.
Today is my first official day of 'twenty-somethinghood'. Yep, it's my twenty-first birthday! Or should I say, 'barfday'? I'm officially breaking out the 'adult' today with braided bangs, heirloom jewelery and little black dress. Or should I say, the sad little gothic girl inside is mourning the death of my youth? However you take it, these are the classiest goth jam vibes on the market.

12.26 song of the day
because, ahem, to quote Aaron Sorkin (in all his infinite holiness), "I kind of worship at the altar of intention and obstacle. Somebody wants something. Something's standing in their way of getting it....they want the money, they want the girl, they want to get to Philadelphia - doesn't matter. And if they need it? That's even better."
If Inception wins an Oscar, Joseph Ruben should be the 1st "thank you"

A very merry Grinch-mas to you all! Instead of blogging, I've been spending my time wisely: outdoor ice skating, reading Kurt Vonnegut books, cooking and EATING MY WEIGHT IN CHOCOLATE THRICE OVER. My wonderful mother custom made me this perfect Peter Pan collar dress and I've been parading around in it for hours. For one day a year, goth jams become Grinch jams!!
