OH NO!!!

The Order caught the scoobies! I can't wait another few days to find out what happens... I needa know NOW!!

Ch-ch-changes...

I'm bored with my layout (writing wise) I keep looking for interesting things to say on my blog and can't come up with anything. Then I look at the blogs I haunt the most (Gina Miller and Dooce) and realize they're just a couple of mommies making money doing stuff they love and writing about their everyday lives. Time to make a change! This entry will be especially long as I've got lots to say!!

~*Internet-tainment*~
Lately my newest obsession is LG15. It's called Lonelycrack for a reason folks. This is where to go if you're interested in starting the Lonelygirl15 saga. It gets you through a huge chunk of the videos without having to spend HOURS doing it. After that... they're all posted at lonelygirl15.com. ;)

You Tube is also an endless supply of laughs... I tend to post random videos... but I swear... they're worth watching. Here's one that made me cry yesterday....



~*Dying to Buy*~
The new Post Secret books. I've only bought the first so far, but I REALLY need to add the other 2 to my collection. As I searched for a link I found out another one is due out in October this year. Honestly, I cannot express how important this site is to me. It’s saved lives and I have sent secrets to it too. There’s something cathartic about it. Not only that but reading the secrets of others that are much like your own is almost as healing. I want to get all these books and one day share them with my teenage child. I wish I had had something like that back then, and who knows where it’ll be when I get to that point in my life (as a parent). Proceeds of the book sales also go to the Suicide Hopeline... get great self therapy and help others? Awesome!

This next one I'm getting today on my way home from work. KoRn Unplugged. They're an amazing band. I've followed them for almost 10 years now, they're one of my favorites. Seen them 3 times (twice last year) and they never fail to make me happy... kinda strange considering they're metal. I think it's because the anger in the music is taken away from me and all the aggression is sucked out as I sing along. Hearing them acoustically is like another planet. That's the TRUE measure of rock music to me, if it can transform and be expressed into another style then it's fantastic! Metallica did it by playing with a symphony... another amazing work!!

~*Scrapping*~
This Friday I'm having some ladies over to scrap! I'm so excited. My BIL is dating this doll that works at my LSS and I'm having her come over to hang out and scrap! It'll be lots of fun! Pictures to follow (for REAL this time!).

That's about it for now though. I've got lots more but I'm short on time once again. Have a great day and I'll be back soon!!

My name is Jonas

The name has been floating around a lot lately in my life... Here's the Weezer song...




The hottie from LG15...



My new "pet turtle". He's named Owen on LG15 but I named the turtle Jonas and the crab Daniel.

And my new drawers from Ikea:

I’m officially a dork

Okay. I’ve been avoiding the whole Lonelygirl15 thing for a long time now. I thought it was a great concept but didn’t want to get involved as I knew that I’d be hooked. Then I somehow stumbled upon it in Wiki. I have no clue how it happened, I don’t even remember what I was looking at but something made a reference to it so I clicked on it and read up on it… intriguing. Then I heard Katherine McPhee was to be on an episode. The next thing I knew I stayed up really late 3 nights in a row last week to catch up on the whole thing. I was just watching her vids and then realized that I needed to go back and watch Daniel’s… and then I realized there was this Gemma chick… and then there was Jonas. I got all caught up on the 3rd night and then somehow figured out that there were several video accounts also owned by “The Order.” FORGET IT! I thought.

And yeah, I got sucked back in. I think I’ll just have my LG15 night on Tuesdays and watch them all at once. I’ve since figured out that there’s also some chick named Cassie that I need to watch her handful of vids. After that I’m not adding anything! I know there’s at least 7 or 8 YouTube channels carrying the story, I’ll just keep up with the 4 I followed those first few days.

I do recommend that you go to Lonelygirl15.com if you’re going to start out though. They have ALL the videos in order for you there. As opposed to trying to figure out who’s jumping in and when and getting all mixed up and scattered like I did. Know that it’ll take you forever too. This started as a 2-minute video every few days over the last 9 months or so. Once the extra characters get their own videos in, it’s up to 129 right now (according to LG15.com). At about 2 minutes each that puts you at about 4.3 hours (some videos go longer than the 2 min. too so that just increases the viewing time).

There’s also some whole alternate reality game going along with it. People are really into this whole thing, trying to figure stuff out. There are phone numbers to call (hidden in the videos) that play messages with MORE clues on them. It’s crazy! I’d love to get all into it all, but I DO have a life… somewhat. I’ll just stick to videos only I guess. I can handle watching and waiting for the story to unfold before me. It’s kinda cool though. It’s almost like a real-life MMORPG for free! Ha ha!

Here’s her first video… on You Tube… for whatever reason the website doesn’t have this one. Google bought You Tube, Google owns Blogger, so why I can’t get a code to link to the video here is beyond my comprehension… but here’s the link to the video page.

And then if you go to LG15 you can get videos 2-129. ;) There’s a few in there that I need to go back and see since I missed them before. Have fun!!
