I have this daily tear-off calendar. And I love it. But I am discouragingly far behind on its contents.
I was SO BLASTED EXCITED to get it, too. "I'm going to do this every day! It will change my life!" was my prediction. As it is with so many, many things. Remember in "Confessions of a Shopaholic" [book not film] when she's got to get that Hermes scarf because then she'll be known as "The Girl With The Hermes Scarf"? Ugh, so close to home.
[Do we *all* do that? Or, all of us who love to shop? DO we *all* justify everything we buy by promising we'll use it all the time and then do that maybe once or twice until it's relegated to the storage area specifically made for that genre of item? Jewelry, cute journals, self-help books, magazines, exercise equipment, artsy-crafty tools, DVDs, quirky decor...? I WILL GET TO IT! I *will.* Trust me.]
Anyway, it's a list you fill out every day. A different topic each day, cute little colors (navy-grey and lime green with white), tempting journalling lines to take as much space as you want. "I am going to fill the HELL out of this thing!" I told myself. of course I would! I LOVE LISTS!
But here it sits, on January 20.
I'm going to catch up on a few lists, on here. And then see if I can get up enough freaking motivation to do it regularly before 2012 comes. because if there's anything I hate, it's an out-of-date calendar that's still sitting out. Is anyone surprised?
WHAT IS ON YOUR BEDSIDE TABLE?
When I'm in bed: glasses, water bottle, eyedrops, hair-claw, Galaxy tablet, medications
WHAT WERE YOUR FAVORITE BIRTHDAYS?
Mine, or someone else's? We'll go with mine, I guess.
I'm not too terribly social, so parties are always stressful. I remember one, though, that was fun fun fun...in our backyard on Stewart Road, 5th grade or so. May have been a joint birthday between me and Alena, but I can't remember. Kind of a DIY affair...people drew/signed all over the paper tablecloth with markers, and Mom got icing tubes from the bakery and everyone had a hand in decorating the cake. It looked insane when it was done. Most of the Ridgeway girls were there, all from my grade except Andrea and Sarah. Oh, and I think we called Mr. Colman over and drenched him with the hose. The year before, a true joint birthday with Alena, was good in a different way. We had a handful of girls over and camped out in the backyard.
WHAT ARE THE LAST 5 BOOKS YOU HAVE READ?
I haven't read many books recently--maybe not since "Room" or thereabouts. I guess I did download "Annie on my Mind" and read it last Friday. Good, not great. I found it for free, so no harm done.
I've listened to many, though. I've lived and breathed Sarah Dessen in the car all summer, and it's been lovely. I miss her world and am looking forward to enjoying the remaining audiobooks I haven't found yet. I've heard "This Lullaby," "Just Listen," "Lock and Key," and "Along for the Ride." Loved them all. She's like Meg Cabot but better.
WHAT SONGS WOULD YOU LIKE PLAYED AT YOUR FUNERAL?
Let's not talk about death, please. Next!
WHAT ARE YOU SUPERSTITIOUS ABOUT?
Um...not much, I guess. I'm spiritual about a few things, but not superstitious. I used to HAVE to do things (count everything I read in five syllables and end at five; repeat an action on the opposite side of my body--for example, if I cracked my left-hand middle-finger knuckle I'd have to crack the right-hand one too; say "Go Hamlet!" every time I passed the MO Theatre), and I suppose those might be...but I'm learning to let go.
WHAT TV SHOWS DO YOU WATCH THAT YOU WISH OTHER PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW YOU WATCHED?
Weird question to post on my blog, I guess. And I could skip it. But also, I'm not shy about admitting my guilty-pleasure TV-time. What are some shows I watch that I haven't talked about? "Cupcake Girls"...totally cute. I'm not ashamed of it, though. Plus: Canada! "Extreme Couponing"? Love it, but everyone I know has beef with it. "Ruby"--such a pleasure. i wish I knew that woman in person. Any sitcom from the 80s/90s, basically, that is on reruns or Netflix. My Two Dads, Wings, Coach, The Nanny, Who's the Boss, Blossom...the only ones I won't touch are Raymond, Curb Your Enthusiasm (might not be 90s...), Simpsons (why intelligent people claim this show is smart, I'll never understand), anything with the "Fat-guy-pretty-wife" scenario [tm Jack McFarland!]...okay, I could go on and on with this. I'm feeling fussy.
WHO ARE YOU MAD AT RIGHT NOW?
Ha! I'm in a bad mood, so perhaps it isn't the right time to answer this...
WHAT SONGS HAVE YOU REQUESTED TO A DJ?
I only remember calling Q97 in 7th grade and requesting "Please Don't Go Girl." I waited all weekend and they never played it. :(
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE AMUSEMENT PARK RIDES?
Zero. God, should I even *try* to go to Harry Potter land?
WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST PERSONAL CHANGES YOU'VE EVER MADE?
I hate these all-caps, seriously. I only did it like that because that's how they are in the calendar but now they're pissing me off.
Ironically, not being such a bitch all the time. Hard to tell on days like today, though. :)
Losing weight, but should that count since gaining it all back?
Adopting a more patient attitude to life. Sometimes...
-What are things you wish you had invented?
I'm not doing all-caps anymore. Also this is a dumb question. Uhh...the internet? I'd be so rich now.
-What are your favorite musicals?
Ahhhh, good. Let's end on one I actually care about. Excellent work, Wednesday February 2!
25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (if it's touring near you, GO JUST GO. You will thank me. And die laughing. And it's so short--no intermission!)
Rent (f'rever. From the tuning-up/plaid pants to the BLAST that is the titular song to Mimi's glitter-hair to table-dancing at Lifecafe to Angel wracked with coughs [oh dear heavens I'm gonna cry] to the chills at seeing him run out again for the curtain call...it will never not be amazing. Okay, unless I see it seven times in one semester or two nights in a row again.)
West Side Story (normally I'd go for stage musicals over movie versions, but as the movie made me fall in love with musicals, I'm going for the film here. Despite Natalie's and Richard's lip-syncing...despite the complete change from the original libretto...I'll always love it best.)
I can't get enough of plenty of others either...Oklahoma, Sound of Music (again, movie only) Fiddler, Children of Eden (I know, it's about god stuff! But I like it anyway!), Music Man, She Loves Me, Secret Garden, Dolly, Pippin, Drood, Merrily, Producers, Ave. Q, Birdie, Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods (Or, Maplewood-style--"INNATHEWOODS"), Annie, The Boy Friend, Les Mis, Guys and Dolls, 42nd Street, Phantom, Cats (I'm not ashamed! That sh!t's entertaining!), Wicked, Cabaret, Fantasticks, Grease, King & I, Little Shop, Oliver, Mamma Mia, Ragtime (pretty much just for Sarah Brown Eyes)...
Middle-of-the-road (I'd see them again, but only if someone I knew was in it. or a celeb I adored): Anything Goes, Showboat, Chorus Line, Brigadoon, Chicago, Forum, Gypsy, JC Superstar, Man/La Mancha, My Fair Lady.
...but I can do forever without Joseph/Dreamcoat, South Pacific, Passion (when Sondheim effs up, he effs up good), Best/Whorehouse, Godspell, A Little Night Music, Sunday/Park/George (despite my love for Seurat), Miss Saigon (OHHHMYGOD SO BAD), Carousel, Cinderella, Hair, How to Succeed, Pajama Game, Lion King, Once/Mattress, Urinetown

For me, by me.
About Me
- genevieve
- Columbia, MO, United States
I don't like some things.
Some might say, a lot of things.
}Skim milk
}Mealy gum. You know, when you've chewed it just a little too long and it's gettin' sticky.
}Post-its that don't stick (If I'da wanted a small square of paper that doesn't have a strip of removable stickiness, I would have saved my gum wrapper.)
}Mild cheddar cheese (WHAT is the point?)
}Shoes that conform to feet (i.e. Converses)
}Any Craig Kilborn replacement (Jon notwithstanding)
}Overhead lighting. (Lamps, lamps, lamps.)
}How clogs feel. (I need something covering my heel, people.)
}Indoor scarves. (Why? Just tell me why.)
}Scut Farkus' face. see also Stifler's face. (They're mean faces. The faces of a tool.)
}7th grade. see also Junior year of high school; sophomore year at Grinnell.
}February. (Never have 28 days felt so much like 31.)
}Too-cutesy scrapbook items. (Bees. Ladybugs. Fake-stitched anything. Letters with dots at the joints/ends.)
}Forced social situations (work gatherings; school functions where you have to stand and chat, like teas)
}That Jorge Cruise guy. (I'll 8 minute your morning, dillhole. I refuse to believe you were ever fat.)
}Going through a NYTX and getting no answers the first run-through. I feel so defeated. see also Monday NYTXs I can't finish
}Sunny Saturday afternoons
}Shared swimming lanes
}The stale smell of unwashed ashtrays
}The statement: "Don't worry. You'll find him someday!"
}Showering clean, then being surrounded/pushed/shoved by sweaty people on the morning subway during an NYC summer. Waste of time, my friends. Waste of time.
}Splurging on a coffee-shop-made flavored latte, then discovering they didn't put enough in to even taste it.
}Holier-than-thou vegetarians/vegans. (Grinnell was their hotbed, I swear.)
}Surprising raisins. Well, all raisins. But surprising raisins are the worst. I'll never forget the Schnuck's Curry Chicken Salad debacle a few years back.
}Chapstick that just sits there, wet and sticky, getting all up on my water-bottle lip.
}Hair that hasn't been washed for 24 hours or more.
}Really overly-long movies. (I am a big fan of the 100-minute film.)
}Iron-y tap water after days of Aquafina bliss
}When interviewees/commentators (particularly actors trying to sound British, Johnny Depp) say "Sort of." I know this is weird, but it's a lot more prevalant than you'd think. They're trying to explain their craft, or the scene, or something a little obtuse. And they completely overuse the words 'sort of.' Once I started noticing it, I couldn't stop. (Especially common during James Lipton meetings and DVD commentaries.)
}On female actresses who are supposed to be attractive: Big chins (Elisabeth Shue) and big mouths (Julia Roberts). I don't find it hideous on everyday folks, just on those who other people think are hot.
}Open-ended parentheses. I won't give one as an example because I'd need for it to be closed in order to not drive me nuts. Basically, it's a "(" without the ")".
}Loose hair, especially when wet
}Those roll-over-to-expand ads on the internets. Hate. They get me every time.
}This new trend of horror-movie ads not preparing you for what's coming. Usually, commercials for horror movies let you know, by a menacing voice or a threatening intro, what's coming, so I know to look away. But while we were in LA, Lily and I were furious at a new one that had a girl driving in her car when something scary jumped out behind her. No warning whatsoever. Completely unfair.
}When people say, usually to a group when giving a talk or something, "I'm not sure how many of you caught the PBS special on chicken turds [or whatever], but they blah blah blah..." Of course you're not sure. It's such a stupid phrase. SUCH!!!
}How the "Remove Page Element" button on this thing is right where the "Save Changes" button should be. I hover over it every single time I want to save. I'm totally going to inadvertently erase this whole thing one day.
}Skim milk
}Mealy gum. You know, when you've chewed it just a little too long and it's gettin' sticky.
}Post-its that don't stick (If I'da wanted a small square of paper that doesn't have a strip of removable stickiness, I would have saved my gum wrapper.)

...but I do get a kick out of these (and you)!
See? I can be positive! Just look at these, with BONUS plus signs!
+Target bags. Not their purses (though those always draw my eye), but their bags that they give you when you buy something. White with the red targets all over them. It's just a good quality bag, especially versus the Wal-Mart/Hy-Vee/Schnucks/Gerbes bags of Columbia. They're reassuring. "We won't rip open just because you bought a frozen pizza that's a little too large for us," they say. When the opportunity arose a few months ago to send in used Target bags and get an eco-friendly one made FROM the bags,
I didn't buy the Newsweek magazine with the mailer in it. I regret that decision almost daily. (Although, I would have blanched at the thought of getting rid of ANY of my Target bags.)
+Finishing a whole container of lotion. (I have such a backlog!)
+Sweet butter lettuce, in salads or on sandwiches (like that gourmet burger place by our hotel in London!)
+My Scrap Area set-up, erected by my dear Neil
+Christopher Guest films (Okay, except "For Your Consideration")
+Lotion that absorbs quickly, while still giving me the moisturizing I crave
+Poor Toby, with his sad eyes and mighty Pam-crush
+When Sean darts around eating his crickets each morning
+Downloading a free trial of a game, ostensibly for 60 minutes, but some glitch lets it run and run until you quit out
+Heroes of Might & Magic II. Usually the Wizard hero. But the Sorceress & Warlock have their perks too.
+The way Kevin (of Scrantonicity) looks just like Allen Weltig when he smiles or squints!
+Electric toothbrushes
+Scattergories. Cranium. Encore. Apples to Apples. Trivial Pursuit. Password.
+Listening to the waves at night
+Envelopes where you pull off the paper to stick the flap on. No licking!
+Innovative chipboard (or other material) letters
+Surprising Neil with something special
+Breezy summer nights
+Simon & Garfunkel; Peter, Paul, & Mary
+My mama's laugh
+Those DirecTV commercials with the Best-in-Show/Guffman people
+This one body wash I bought once at the JC K-Mart, of all places. Skin Milk or something...it smelled like tapioca pudding.
+Moscato D'Asti. (First taste: when Mom & Pops took me out to Sophia's a few years back)
+Joe Buck. Even in commercials.
+Making Neil really laugh, when it comes from deep in his belly.
+Driving/riding at night, longer distances
+Balconies
+Cems, Grain elevators, and Snails. (These are what I 'call' on the road--like how people used to call VW bugs. Cems are cemeteries; grain elevators are...grain elevators, and Snails are those things from Sears on the tops of cars. I sometimes call Fake Snails, if they're not the "EX-CARGO" brand, but a Snail is only a true Snail when it has the logo on the side.)
+The Cupcakerie
+The anticipation of going to new scrapbook stores. I can never sleep the night before I know I'll be going!
+Puzzles of medium difficulty (i.e., Al Dente, a 500-piece photo still life of all these kinds of dry pasta the Dawsons have been doing since I was wee)
+David Eckstein. I *love* how he runs like hell to first base even on a walk. And he got married to his cute wife at Disneyworld! Come on.
+Driveways. I can see the beauty in every driveway in the world, honestly.
+Heirloom tomatoes with sea salt (also fresh edamame with same)
+Target bags. Not their purses (though those always draw my eye), but their bags that they give you when you buy something. White with the red targets all over them.

Yum...guilty pleasures.
First of all, what is a guilty pleasure? Something to be ashamed of? Or is it just something we like that we think most people don't?
*Sauce specific to restaurants, sometimes straight out of the packet (Arby's sauce; Taco Bell mild)
*Happy 1960s & 70s songs, like "I'm Into Something Good" or anything Abba
*Rock of Love with Bret Michaels (And I'm so glad Neil joins me in this trashfest!)
*A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, and its successor, That's Amore!
*The McRib sandwich. Extra pickles and sometimes onions.
*Crying during either of the two Josh Groban songs he did on Ally McBeal
*Hearing the dish on rude celebrities via Lily & Steve
*Cottage cheese with diced tomatoes, garlic, & onions (is this guilty since it's halfway good for me?)
*Buying gobs and gobs of whatever scrapbook supplies I want. (This is no longer an indulgence I can partake of as often as I once did, and that's fine by me! A person can only organize so many alphabet stickers.)
*Looking at Neil's ring glisten in new kinds of light
*Listening to (& leaving) long rambling messages on voicemail from (& for) Emily
*Floating in the Lazy River--not against it, with it--after I'm done with my workout
*Lazing in bed til noon on the weekend
*Poison, obviously
*Cherry Chip cake with pink cherry icing

I'm going to make up a survey. Also included are quiz questions I've been working on.
- Scattergory fun! Name as many things as you can think of that you want right now. Use as many letters of the alphabet to name these things as you can, but use each letter only once. (For example, I want: Apple pie; BCBG perfume; Corvette; Dansko shoes; Eli Manning...etc)
- What sport do you watch with regularity?
- Will you pay for bottled water?
- Are you anal, or laid-back? NO gray areas here.
- How do you feel about snakes?
- Name three TV shows that have turned into movies (regardless of whether the TV show continues broadcasting).
- Now name three movies that have turned into TV shows.
- Have you been to Canada? Why?
- Where is the best lemonade?
- Who is your favorite extended family member?
- When you're putting something together in the kitchen--a recipe, or a sandwich, or whatever--do you put each used item away as you use it, or all at the very end? (Or do you just leave everything out for someone else to clean up?)
- Name the three NBA teams whose mascots do NOT end in the letter "S."

Go Hamlet 4evah!!! Say it for me even if you don't want to!
Yes, you should still go to HP Land. Because I am waiting to go until you go. We don't have to do the scary ride because some guy's eyeball fell out on it the other day. It was on the news.
Rent and Wicked can never get old no matter what. I will forgive Sunday...George because Bernadette Peters can do no wrong ever ever. Also what is your take on Chess? Because I don't care about most of it but Nobody's on Nobody's Side is my #1 F-You belting song.
I love this calendar. Keep it coming! Maybe if I had some prompts I could think of something to blog about again besides potty training.
"lingictu"? I don't even know. Sounds like something from the Kama Sutra.
