In Rememberance

It hardly seems possible that it has been six years since the end of George Harrison's earthly journey.

As all of us, he had his faults, but he was a deeply spiritual and caring man. I honestly believe that he resides happily now with his sweet Lord. I would be happy to have just half the faith that he did.

And the music...
What can I say? His sense of humor, spirituality, everything shone through it so greatly. The music was and is George, and through it he lives on.

Sometimes...

I get bored and take very random photos, like this one of the I 70 bridge, taken from my side porch.

Manic Monday

Which personality trait has gotten you into the most trouble?
I am an incurable flirt! I see a man, I flirt. It's just my nature. It usually gets me what I want, but often gets me into trouble when guys read more into it than is really there.

If you had to gain 10 pounds what would you eat to gain the weight?
I don't know. I've never been faced with that problem. Ordinarilly, I just look at food and I put on a few pounds!

How is your private self different from your public self?
Generally the face that I show in public is a lot more confident and fearless than the REAL me...

At The End Of The Day

(Again!)



I love to take photos to illustrate that song
(Or maybe I am just intrigued by sunsets)

Avenue Q

As my birthday present, my sister took me to see Avenue Q at the Benedum Center in Pittsburgh.

Even if you don't much care for Broadway musicals, you've gotta see this one. The music is catchy, the subject matter touches on basic human truths that we all would like to ignore in a silly and humorous way, and there is PUPPET SEX!
Yes, I said puppet sex!
If that doesn't make you curious to see it, I don't know what will...

The First Snowfall

I woke up this morning to see snow falling.



This would be the last rose of the year...





But the snapdragons never say die!

Hello, My Name Is...

Dinner!



Actually, this guy is one of the lucky ones. He lives at the Pittsburgh Zoo.

Buy Me A Present Day

That's what I have now instead of those nasty birthday things that make you get a year older. I don't need to get any older!!!

Now, obviously, what I really wanted on this day was Michael Schenker, gift wrapped (or not).

This was the closest to it that I got...



Oh, well, maybe next year.

Manic Monday

What is your least favorite day of the week and why?
M-O-N-D-A-Y S-U-C-K-S!
Something about going back to start the week with a double workload just doesn't sit well with me.

What's the best way to end the day?
Hmmm...
I would think that hot steamy sex with Michael Schenker would be the ultimate way to end any day!



I wish I could have the opportunity to end my day with him, just once...

Which animal would you have left out of the ark?
I suppose that even the ones that seem the nastiest to me serve some useful purpose on this earth, even if I don't know what it is.
For that reason, I won't be leaving any animals off the ark!

The King Of The Beasts

Is blowing you raspberries!

The title of the post says it all!



Maybe someday I'll catch all three of them in there.

My obsessiveness knows no bounds!

What family traditions or customs would you most like to see preserved?
Our family's Christmas Eve dinner has evolved many times over the years, but it still includes many things I'd hate to see go, like the sharing of the oplatki (Christmas wafer) and the traditional toast (even if it has to be with sparkling grape juice).

What do you feel is the least sexy part of the body?
The ears!

How did I come to this conclusion?

Well, since I think that everything about Michael Schenker is sexy, I decided to stare at this photo for a while...



What part of his incredibly sexy body was I overlooking?
OMG! He has ears!
There they were, tucked right there at the bottom of his hat. Cute little ears, really, but I had never even noticed them before.
Now, if a pair of cute little ears attached to Michael Schenker's body failed to draw my attention, then the ears absolutely MUST be the least sexy part of the human body!

What keeps you awake at night? Why?
(This could be worries, recurring thoughts, pain or any other distraction. Read into this any way you wish.)
I am a night person. I keep myself awake at night by choice. I find myself awake to the wee hours, even though I must be at work quite early in the morning and that's the way that I like it. I'd rather take a nap in the afternoon when I get home from work than to go to bed early!

Good Lord, I Am Bored!

A pair of pilgrims...

It's bad to be bored and take silly quizzes for yourself, but to take them for someone else, too...

To Any Lengths

I keep wondering, am I willing to go to any lengths to stay sober? Can I really commit myself to a program based on a belief in a God whose existence I doubt? Can I commit to ANYTHING for that matter?!

Oh, well, I stayed sober today...

I'll keep coming back, if only for the hugs.

I'm Educated!

At least when it comes to U.S. geography...

You Know Your States

You got 9/10 correct. You've got a pretty good handle on US geography. There's a good chance you've visited at least a dozen of the fifty states.

How Well Do You Know Your States?

A New Day

As I stood outside this moring, I was so taken by the beauty of the sunrise that I ran inside to get my camera...

Manic Monday

Describe yourself in one word:


What is your favorite kitchen utensil and why?
I love my large glass measuring cup.In addition to its obvious use, I also can use it for microwaving liquids and as a mixing bowl.

What is the one thing that frightens you the most about growing old?
Ever hear the song My Generation?
There is a line in it that says:

That's me!
The one thing that scares me about growing old is:
EVERYTHING!!!!

Love Style Quiz

So true...

Your Love is Based on Passion

When you're in love, you're brimming with emotions and desire. For you, love can be a crazy frenzy - but somehow it all makes sense. Love is the most important thing to you. You are capable of doing anything for love. (This makes you very lovable... but also a little scary!) Why your love can last: You've got the true attraction, bond, and euphoria to make it happen. Why your love can fail: Love isn't something you really think through. Your roller coaster relationships sometimes end on a terrifying note.

What Is Your Love Based On?

A Bit Of Twisted Fantasy

Come to me, Michael...

There are two legends as to how a vampire is created. In one the victim must be bitten thrice. In the second the victim is bitten to a point near death, then revived by drinking the blood of the vampire by whom he was bitten.

This vampire prefers the second method...

As a vampire, I draw Michael close to me. Slowly, I undo all of the buttons of his shirt and slide it off his body, revealing skin nearly as pale as my own vampirish palor. Ah, but as I place my hand over his heart, I can feel how his lifeblood makes his skin so much warmer than my own. I tremble with desire to drink the sweetness of that blood.

My other hand slowly caresses back his long golden hair, exposing the warm flesh of his neck for my fangs.

I feel him quiver as my fangs first pierce his skin. I drink thirstily until I feel his heart slow to nearly a stop.

As he lies near death in front of me, I sink my fangs into my own wrirst. I allow the blood from the wound to flow onto his lips. As the first drops enter his body, he pulls my wrist to his mouth, drinking deeply from my wounds. His newfound bloodlust leaves me feeling intoxicated.

A new vampire is born, one to spend eternity at my side!

I'm such a sick puppy!

Handwriting Analysis

I'm not so sure about that part of this that says I have control over my emotions!

What Your Handwriting Says About You

You are highly energetic. You are a passionate, intense, vigorous person. You are reserved and not very outgoing. You are deeply thoughtful and introspective. You have a lot of control over your actions and emotions. You are very detail oriented and meticulous. You are a careful thinker and a true intellectual. You need a bit of space in your life, but you're not a recluse. You expect people to give you a small amount of privacy, and you respect their privacy as well. You are somewhat traditional, but you are also open to change. You listen to your head and your heart. You are a decent communicator. You eventually get your point across, but sometimes you leave things a bit ambiguous.
