I think this photo says it all.

If you had to be a one issue voter (there are no ifs, ands, or buts in this question), what would the issue be and why?
Proceed.

See: Helen Mirren in a bikini.
The woman is 63 years old. In my wildest dreams I will never look that good in a bikini. Kudos, Helen Mirren. Kudos.
100 Things About Me (91-100) July 15, 2008
I know, I know. It’s been MONTHS since I posted the last ten of these, and I’m sure anyone who was interested is now … well, not. But I might as well finish what I started, so to my loyal three readers, here we go!
91. I wrote a paper my senior year of high school about the bironic heroes of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, and have been in love with both books ever since.
92. I graduated with my M.A. in Church-State Studies on May 17, 2008. Wahoo!!
93. I start my first real “grown-up” job on July 28th. I’m slightly terrified to no longer be in school.
94. The most listened to song on my iTunes playlist is Ryan Adams’ cover of “Wonderwall.”
95. I already have some of the chapter titles for my autobiography. You’ll have to buy it to find out what they are.
96. I won a reading award in kindergarten. It pretty much set the tone for the rest of my life.
97. To make my friends feel better when they’re down in the dumps, I buy trashy 99 cent Harlequin novels from Goodwill and read aloud from the best parts. And by best I mean the absolute raunchiest parts. It’s never failed to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
98. I still like coloring books.
99. My toenails are rarely painted any other color except for red.
100. One day, I’m going to change the world.
So there you have it. I promise I’ll do better to write more posts on this neglected blog. At least, I’ll try. Goodbye for now, dear readers!
In the Words of Yusuf … June 18, 2008
Props to Laura for sharing this with the masses first. Clearly it needed to happen.
I’m Voting Republican June 13, 2008
… because women just can’t be trusted to make decisions about their own bodies. Never, ever, ever.
HAH. Now that I have your attention, you should watch this video. Thanks to Kristen for passing it along to me.
Satire is funny.
100 Things About Me (81-90) March 17, 2008
81. I have donated my hair to Locks of Love one time.
82. I make a mean sweet potato souffle.
83. I have a massive fear of open heights (i.e. ferris wheels, cliffs, etc.).
84. I prefer silver jewelry to gold jewelry, though I have a really cool gold owl necklace.
85. I have a dopamine deficiency in my brain; if I take serotonin drugs I get more depressed. Yay Wellbutrin!
86. I retain memories by sound, primarily by music. Certain songs make me remember certain places. Stroke 9 for Scotland, Ray LaMontagne’s “Be Here Now” for Kenya, and so on and so forth.
87. I actually like Waco.
88. I’ve never been on a for real date … not for lack of wanting.
89. I just found out that I’m actually half Irish. Slainte!
90. Mornings and I do not get along. I’m a night owl.
100 Things About Me (51-60) March 5, 2008
51. I really like math. Seriously, I think it’s fun.
52. I line up small colored candies (i.e. Skittles and M&M’s) by color in order of the colors I like best. I always eat orange first and red last.
53. Mary Katherine Adams is my oldest friend; we’ve known each other for about 21 years. We had imaginary horses named Silver and Lightning. It was amazing.
54. If I ever have kids (and as of right now that’s iffy), I want to have a multicultural family. And I wanted that before the whole Angelina Jolie phenomenon.
55. I have to wear SPF 45 in the summer not to burn. I do not tan, I freckle and turn bright red.
56. I went on my Grandad’s first date with my Mimi.
57. I vote, even in local elections. (Go Chet Edwards!)
58. I rowed crew when I was an undergrad at Baylor, and LOVED it.
59. I only paint my toenails red, unless there’s some extenuating circumstance.
60. Amish Cheerleader. Hoping to change that soon.
