Self-construction instead of mass-production.

Other Observations about Hands

In dating, and/or relationships, feelings are often uneven. One person is more interested in the other than the other is interested in them. I recently found that you can tell who is who by the way a couple hold hands. Usually, one person holds on tight. The other person lets their hand go loose in the hold.

I don't know if this is true for all people; I suppose some people might have other reasons for holding hands tightly or loosely. But I do know that I've been both people - the one holding on tight, too tight at times, and the one with the limp, ever so limp hand. And looking back on those intertwined times, this theory of mine makes perfect sense.

Spam

The title of an email I received:

"E-Harmony can find other Asian singles like you!"

Now, how does E-Harmony know I'm single and why do they think I'm Asian?

Hands

Everyone in my family says I have my Memaw's hands: long fingers with SUPER long nail beds. Well my mom just sent me these pictures from my sisters wedding....apparently Memaw and I use our hands in the same way too.

A Toast

My sister's wedding is in two days. It's gonna be small...about 20 people...at my parents house. It'll be short and sweet. Today my sister asked me to give a toast. I said "yes"...I mean, I didn't think "no" was an option. I usually like public speaking and am pretty good at it. But I'm not looking forward to this particular speech. I'm afraid I'm gonna sound fake; I'm afraid I'm gonna cry; I'm afraid I'm gonna freeze. As happy as I am for her, I am equally sad for me. And that makes this hard.

Celebrity Look-a-Like and Also...

So I did the celebrity look-a-like thing that is so popular right now. I am having trouble posting it though for some reason. But every time I've done one of these, it says I look most like Molly Ringwald. WHAT? I don't see it. I was really excited though that an Olsen twin was one of my look-a-likes. They are so cool and cute...I wear their brand of lip gloss.

ALSO...to add to the post below...I saw Ryan Adams a couple weeks back. How could I have forgotten that? He was a total badass. What an amazing musician. He's also a total weirdo. You would have assumed he was high or drunk or tripping on something by the way he was acting, but apparently he has sobered up. He's hilarious though. At one point, he stopped during a song and said, "lets do an encore." And left the stage for a good 10 minutes. Another time he decided to change clothes and was gone for a while. He left his band up there awkwardly trying to entertain the crowd. That dude has his own prerogative...and it entertained me thoroughly.
