Funny Stuff, Hopefully

June 18, 2008

Friendlies, I’ve been noticing lately that I seem to be doing A LOT of serious posts and not so many funny ones. Which I’m kind of wondering about seeing as how I really do like the funny and the only reason I’m not using it so much lately is because, I don’t know, the serious just seems to be in my mind.

It’s weird.

(And of course, my “funny” is very subjective. Really what I mean, in case you’re all thinking I think way too much of my funny skillage, is “less serious and more lighthearted” – that’s too long to type though.)

So I’m putting it out there for YOU TO VOTE, which YOU BETTER, because how else will I know if people mind all the serious or not?

Which do you prefer?
1) Serious posts.
2) Funny posts.
3) Either. Both!
4) Funny? You’re not funny!
5) Did you know Nathan Bransford was nominated for Hottest Guy in Publishing over at Gawker??View Results

Anyway.

I haven’t been keeping up with Nathan Bransford’s blog nearly as much as I usually do and have deteriorated from checking it daily to, like, thrice a week. But a few days ago I saw this post labeled “Thanks, Gawker. I Think.” And then underneath had a link to vote for the hottest guy in publishing.

First thought: Huh.

Second thought: Wait. They have contests for this kind of stuff? Laughs like hyena. But only in my own head. Or maybe out loud, who knows?

No, I didn’t vote. It seems more embarrassing than anything else, like the time in ninth grade AcaDec when Andrea gave Neil a christmas card and wrote that he was cute, then Teddy read it in front of the class (yes, he stood up and read it in front of the entire class) so that Neil had a permanent blush for the rest of class. It was funny, but I always just feel embarrassed for others when they get embarrassed.

Plus I really need to stop saying “embarrassed” because I never know how to spell it.

In other news, Taylor the Lovely says that I, or at least the pictures I take of me, look like a Chinese doll.

Like this, only without the hair up. And the Chinese outfit.

Which is odd because (a) I am not Chinese, not even a little bit, but (b) people have always said that I look a little Chinese. Or that my eyes do at least.

However in this highly photoshopped picture my eyes mostly just look scary. Which IS WHAT I WAS GOING FOR.

Also.

You know how before I was TOTALLY ON A CRUSADE TO MAKE YOU ALL BELIEVE I WAS A TELEVISION HOUND?

Well I think I’m back on it. My looooved shows that are now on?

  1. Jon & Kate Plus 8. Yes, okay, I didn’t like this show at first. I realize that, TAYLOR. But that was just me being prejudgmental and now that I’ve seen it I love it. Love it so much. Eight kids! All cute! A very chaotic house! And funny stuff!!
  2. My Boys. Yay! My Boys is back!! Woot woot!
  3. The Bill Engvall Show. I don’t love this one quite as much as the others, but it’s still hilarious.

:) Later, friendlies.

    Funny is obviously awesome, but I don’t personally mind serious. (Probably because I tend to be angsty mcAngsty too often, and it reassures me when other people share their emotions).

    I’ve had friends tell me I look like everything from those eyebrowless girls in, like, da Vinci paintings (although I definitely have eyebrows) to Frodo at the end of LotR III (???). So, looking like a Chinese doll isn’t too bad. ^__^

    Both are good, I just like glimpses of other people’s lives mainly because I’m a nosey so and so! I always think blogging is the equivalent of those 1950’s housewives (hair in rollers, fags in mouths), gossiping over the fence about their neighbours!

    You look a little like your about to do an incredible hulk in that photo! Love photoshop!

    oh just thought fag = cigarette in UK english. Sorry if I’m telling you things you know already but the guy I was talking to yesterday so didn’t, it was very funny I think he thought I was very strange!

    If I take a picture of myself, with the camera raised kind of high above me and me looking up at it, I almost ALWAYS look Asian. Which I don’t even have a drop of that in me and I really don’t look Asian normally. Oh and once I was in a play and the way the lady did my makeup made me look (unintentionally) very, very Asian.

    New Erin – Actually I think a lot of people, or at least young people, angst a lot… they just don’t talk about it. I used to think I shouldn’t care so much about stuff, but I’m finding out this is just how I am and I need to accept it and deal with my emotions because pushing them away didn’t help one bit.

    Marmite – Lol, ya I knew what fag meant. The big difference I see between 1950’s housewives gossipping over the fence and blogs is that in blogs we’re all gossipping about OURSELVES. And, of course, it’s more solitary.

    Miss Erin – Isn’t it weird? I don’t have any Asian in me either.
