I have Inappropriate thoughts about Zac Efron

Maybe i have been under a rock for the last, i dunno, three years, but i don't have any tweenage girls in my home to have brought the little tidbit to my attention.

I have never seen High School Musical or any of the sequels, i did watch Hairspray and thought the dude was pretty cute... but it wasn't until i saw him on Saturday Night Live with his perfectly messy hair - coming back to his High School Musical high school as Troy with sad news from his first year at college that NO ONE bursts in to song in the real world.... that was when i started getting that giddy girly feeling...

I know that he's a kid, barely legal, and that i'm almost 30.... but i would mess up that hair for him....ifyouknowwhatimsaying... and just this last weekend, i had a very, uhm, adult dream about this young man - and i woke up thinking: "Thank you, Zac"

no. wait.

It's wrong for me to have the hots for the same guy as my eleven year old niece. right?


But, i mean, he's a triple threat.... he's got the moves, he's got the voice, and the kid is funny as all hell.... and he MAY be working his way up the Do-able ladder - only a few short rungs from the reigning champion, the fabulous Mister Timberlake

26 questions...ANSWERED!!

in an effort to stay away from the media/blog feeding frenzy that will very soon be the passings of two great legends of our time, Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcette... i am going to answer a few questions that C.J. of the Travelling Circus posed on his blog "26 Questions Men are Afraid to Ask Women"

1. Do you have the same threesome fantasies that we do and if so, what's the right way of going about making a threesome happen?

Yes, i'd say that as a rule, we probably do - but we worry that if we mention our fantasy it will make you assume that we want to pursue it in real life. I'd say if you're lucky enough to find a woman who will openly admit to and share her threesome fantasy, don't push it or she'll turn tail and never share that fantasy about dressing up as a school girl either. and there is no right way of going about making it happen... you shouldn't try to make it happen, if it's going to happen it will take it's very own organic course.

2. And how do we make it happen with your best friend?

If you're one of the extremely lucky ones who manages to find a woman willing to try out the threesome game, it will not be with her best girlfriend. Girls are super highly protective of their relationships and are, more often than not, unwilling to risk losing their Girl for some Lay. So, best lay off and start scoping out chicks together, chicks who are not already in the best girlfriend zone.

3. If I leave the door open when I'm peeing because I don't want to miss the game, are you going to be upset?

If it was me, no. i don't care. Just as long as you don't do it to take a shit, and as long as my parents aren't over.

4. Can you pay the bill if I leave my wallet at home?

Sure. Most women i know are willing to pick up the tab once in a while.

5. Are you really turned on by having sex during your period?

uhm, ew. no. Nothing could be more UNTURNING OF ON than being bloated, crampy, bleedy, and bitchy. Yeah baby.

6. Who would you side with, me or your best friend?

I'd side with who ever makes the best argument.

7. Why do you have to tell me about how hot Johnny Depp is?

Because you have to look at porn. Johnny Depp IS girl porn so let us enjoy it. Plus, we want you to know that we find sexy, fucking cool, and bad ass attractive. Take notes. Also, maybe if we let it be known how we get turned on by the Depp, you might think you'll get some if we watch Chocolat together.... then we get to watch Chocolat.

8. What if I can't remember your mom's name?

If we're married and you can't remember my mom's name by now - you're probably in big trouble. If we're dating you can probably get away with calling my mom Mrs. Diva for a while, all Eddie Haskins-like.

9. Should I call your mom, "mom"?

No. And i shouldn't have to call your mom "mom" either... frankly, i think it's kinda creepy... it'd be like implying your my brother... gross.

10. Does body hair really bother you so much that you'd make me go through the same amount of pain that you experience when you give birth? If you think that's an exaggeration, think about the fact that you think giving birth is the most painful thing that could happen to you and recognize that we can't understand that pain so how can you say that a guy getting waxed doesn't nearly equally giving birth.

I'd like to point out here that having Gallstones was more painful than childbirth. And body hair doesn't really bother me. so...

11. You check out other guys too, don't you?

Yeah, we do.

12. If yes, does that mean that your gender is naturally hypocritical?

The difference is that when we do it we're not as BLATANTLY OBVIOUS as you are, we don't stop mid sentence to check out someone who, more than likely, 14 years old... and we don't check out every guy who walks by. Frankly, the guy has to be really fucking cute for me to give him more than a seconds glance. Even then... i really don't think it's the Checking out of other girls that bothers us, its that you do it so openly - while we're talking to you, while we're standing next to you. It makes us feel very insecure for one, and unimportant for two, and not pretty/interesting/special enough to hold your attention for longer than 3 minutes.

13. Farting is a natural biological operation. I realize that's not a question but I thought you should know.

Yes.

14. Is it the size of the boat or the motion of the ocean?

A big cock does not a good time in the sack make. You can have a monster shlong and we'll still be counting down the minutes to the 'big finish' so we can get to sleep if you don't have other moves in your repertoire. Seriously, guys. Get over yourselves. The human female can't physically take much more than 6 inches anyway.

15. Do you poo?

Everyday

16. How do we make the first kiss less awkward? Standing there, waiting for you to go in your door and wondering if we're supposed to kiss you or walk away isn't easy for us.

It's not easy for us either. We're both standing there, feeling the heat, wondering who will make the first move. I say, just ask. If she's into you, she'll say yes and you'll be locking lips in no time. If she says no thanks - well, tonight is not your night buddy.

17. Can I have a gun?

I can't imagine why you'd need one. Can i have a pony? Both expensive, completely unecessary and frivolous... only as far as i know, the pony wouldn't accidentally go off and kill the mailman. or maybe it would... i never had a pony. ...pout...

18. What if my best friend accidentally sees the naked pictures I took of you?

You're in a lot of trouble. like, a lot of fucking trouble... unless he's hot... and wants to be in a threeway... wait, you're cool with 2 dudes + 1 chick 3somes, right?

19. When is the appropriate time in our relationship to start calling you my old lady?

Never. OR 1967.

20. Roses. Do you really want roses?

No, not really. While it is nice to recieve flowers for no reason, roses aren't the end all and be all of flowers... they're kinda overplayed anyway, and they smell like grandmas. Try something bright and colourful, like daisies. Avoid carnations. Nothing says "I bought these flowers from the checkout stand at the grocery store while picking up toilet paper" like carnations.

21. If we have a fight and I know you're wrong and you know you're wrong, why do I still have to be the first one to apologize?

Because, someone needs to start the ball rolling. Eventually, once you're talking again, she'll probably own up to being wrong, but she wants to do that from a place of safety.

22. Can I still be friends with my ex?

It depends on so many factors. How did it end? Who ended it, and why? How long has it been since you broke up, was she the LAST person you dated?

23. Do you believe in the Sasquatch?

Not really, but there are weirder things out there than Sasquatch...

24. If I can devour a Big Mac in 45 seconds, is that hot? My buddies think it's pretty cool.

I think i would side with your buddies and think that it's cool...but not hot. If you can devour me in 45 seconds... that's fucking hot.

25. Speaking of my buddies, if I go out with them one night, what time should I come home? And don't act like my mother about it.

Generally, any time between 1 and 2 am is cool... but communication is the key. She's less likely to care when you're home if she knows when you'll be back. And she's probably worried about you, cuz she loves you and wants to make sure you're safe. So, if you're going to be home late - just make sure she knows what your expected time back is.

26. Will you still love me when my six pack suddenly becomes a keg?

yes.

creative prompts prompt me to be creative.

i borrowed this from Farmer's Wife cuz what better way to force yourself to write than to answer someone elses writing prompts!? She got these prompts from Mama's Losin' It

1.) Grab your current read. Let the book fall open to a random page and share two "teaser" sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.

"You really can heal," John exclaimed.
"Well, the sniffles are easy," Joshua said. "A little mucus is nothing against the power of the Lord."
"Would -- would you mind?" John said, lifting up his tunic and showing his bare privates, which were covered with sores and greenish scales.
"Cover, please cover!" I yelled. "Drop the shirt and step away!"
"That's disgusting," Joshua said.
"Am I unclean? I've been afraid to ask my father, and I can't go to a Pharisee, not with my father being a priest. I think it's from standing in the water all of the time. Can you heal me?"
(I have to say here that I believe that this was the first time Joshua's little sister Miriam ever saw a man's privates. She was only six at the time, but the experienc so frightened her that she never married. The last time anyone heard from her, she had cut her hair short, put on men's clothes, and moved to the Greek island of Lesbos. But that was later.)
From my favourite book "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal"


2.) What do you aspire to be?

Growing up i only ever wanted to be one thing... A Famous Singer. So much so that i went to school at the university for music, majoring in Voice. I sang in a few Operas, in the chorus, and i was in a band in Calgary for a while, B-rad and i still dabble and the odd time we write a few more lines to a song here or there (in between dirty diapers and naptimes, that is). I still have the dream, although a close runner up is to be a writer. I used to write all kinds of stories when i was growing up and my mom told me recently that she was surprised that i went into music and not english.

3.)Share a piece of unsolicited parenting advice...only I'm soliciting it.

Don't stress the small things. Okay, so maybe he dumped his cereal on the floor for the umpteenth time and pulled everything out of the diaper bag...again... and maybe he is screaming at the top of his lungs for no reason whatsoever... but before you know it he'll be going to school, then one day he won't want to hug you in public or hold your hand, or cuddle, one day he'll go to high school and you may only get one word answers for the next 4 years... and one day he may go to college and meet someone and get married...

enjoy every moment because they'll be over before you know it.

4.)Tell us about your blogline...how long have you been blogging, when did you start, what were/are your goals for your blog, etc.

"the cutest little blog on the internet" ...well, when i was in highschool someone made me a very awesome gift. I was dating someone really awful at the time, who treated me terribly, made me feel that i was ugly or fat, or not worth being kind to. I mostly hid that part of our relationship cuz on the outside we seemed happy enough. Anyway, i was given a drawing. It said: "You are a beautiful person, Laura". I made me very happy. I put it up in my bedroom, next to the lightswitch where i was sure to see it everyday... and over time - reading it everyday, i began to believe it. It slowly built me up... piece by piece until i actually believed that i was worth being treated better than the way Dickface was treating me. Eventually, i ended it - for good. My own personal life line. So, the tag line is to remind me everyday that i'm worth something.

"Saucy Brunettes of the World Unite" is because i'm brunette, and saucy, and it seemed to go with the Pin Up.


5.)If you had 5000 dollars to give away or donate to a charity...explain what you would do with it and why.

I think i would give it to the Children's Hospital fund here in my city, to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, to be specific. The NICU was so great to us, but we were very nearly sent away to either Edmonton or even to Minot, North Dakota, because there weren't enough spots in the hospital we were at. We were extremely lucky that Chewie was born at 12:53 and they happened to send someone from NICU home that day at 3. Not that $5,000 would do a whole lot, but it would hopefully at least purchase an isolette. Or some equipment, or a pumping machine or two.

helloooo

I have over 300 unread items in my reader. The Blog World NEVER SLEEPS!!!

Hello all,
did you miss me? I sure missed y'all. B-rad has had the last week off from work, so it was hard to find the time to sit and write and catch up when i was busy running around, and sexing it up, and playing with the baby, and going to the pool, and meeting our new(ish) neighbours, and going to the lake for the day, and having a fire in the backyard, and drinking beers, and seeing old friends, and attending my brother's girlfriends baby shower...

but all that is over. B-rad is back to work, the house is mostly cleaned and quiet as Chewie is napping. The coffee is cold, i just watched "House Bunny" on the free movie channel, thinking about things i need to get done at some point, and finally sat down with Fiona to check up on the blog world. yep. over 300 unread items.

I just want to share these amazing photos... they're from Xtine's wedding two saturdays ago... the photographer Sharon was just a peach! and she loved my Bebe. and who wouldn't! He IS pretty effin' cute and all. (click to enlarge)

Ugh.

we just got back from our week long road trip extravaganza, the first attempt with baby in tow.
right now i am exhausted. Hella exhausted.

I am going to unpack, do some laundry and buy some groceries and get the photos off my camera.

I'm sure you're all relieved to hear i didn't fall off the face of the Earth, though, aren't you?

blurb

the act of living is so surreal, when you think about it.

here i am, enjoying my day - going to the Children's Festival with Chewie and my little nephew... 700 km away my very good friend is having her ovary removed today.... and another friend of mine is in the process of delivering her first baby...

All these incredible days in different people's lives, all happening simultaneously and completely independent of each other.

surreal.

It's Summer, time to party. finally

Over the last three weeks i've had two occasions where Grandma and Grandpa have taken Chewie home for the night so i could stay out getting drunk and silly.

The first was for my friend Xtine's bachelorette party, highlights included:
  • too many Rum and Cokes and far too much Karaoke...
  • and All That Jazz...
  • and a creepy dude in pleated pants and loafers hitting on us saying: "Do those flowers mean you ladies need to get lei-ed?" to which i replied: "No, it means we've ALREADY been lei-ed." and then finding out later that the dude was drinking orange bacardi breezers, thus dubbing him "Bacardi Breezers" for the rest of the night...
  • heading outside in my drunken state to share a ciggy with Xtine's auntie Shelley and blurting out: "Hey, can i have a Toke off that?...uh, i mean puff? Can i have a puff off that? i don't even know what a toke is!"
  • and not having to show James my boobs in exchange for taking us through the CrackDonald's drive thru after Mika assured us that he would require some kind of sexual favour as payment for allowing food in his freshly detailed car... when i asked him if we could go he said: "okay".


the other was last Saturday night for mine and my brother's combined Costume Birthday Party where the theme was "Dead Celebrities: Really, The Best Kind" where such known celebrities as:
  • Albert Einstein
  • Audrey Hepburn
  • Mister Rogers
  • Nancy Spungen
  • Greta Garbo
  • Tammy Faye Baker
  • Bea Arthur
  • Estelle Getty
  • James Dean
  • Mother Theresa
  • Aliyah
  • Jackie O
  • Erma Bombeck
  • Dean Martin
  • Rodney Dangerfield
  • Patsy Cline
  • Johnny Cash
  • June Carter
  • Bonnie and Clyde
  • Chris Farley
  • Kurt Cobain
  • Bettie Page
  • Jessica Rabbit (i wasn't aware that she had died)
  • and Shirley Temple (also not dead) were in attendance.
  • Oh, and me, i was Judy Garland - "Get Happy" (google it)

i had just written about four paragraphs that involved the graphic nature of my drinking and the horrible after effects the next morning, and acidity, and bile, and the possible drinking effects of the lacking of ones gallbladder... but i don't want you to get the impression that this blog is all about puke now. In reality, it's so much more...i hope.

So, i will leave you with my sexy gams! WOO!
