No really, I don't think it is. This is fax my firm recieved for a website that will apparently write you a prescription for any drugs you want. Then ship it to you overnight. Now with all the sickos on the internet already, do we really think this is a good idea? Or legitamate? Here it a link about it for more info . . . if you're curious. (Cause I know I am) Honestly, what is the internet coming to?

I've been tagged
By Erin to share 7 things people don't know about me. I can only think of 1, so the other 6 are some of the bizarre goals I have for my life.
Things You Don't Know About Me:
1- I do not know how to whistle. This is because when I was little I decided I could either learn to whistle, or learn to wink (why I couldn't do both, I have no idea. Maybe I only wanted to look silly practicing one or the other for a very limited period of time). And because of some embarrassing experiences, I decided to learn to wink. Mostly the embarrassment consisted of someone like a family member winking at me, and my only response being to blink really hard. I thought that was stupid. So, at any rate, I never learned to whistle and I feel very foolish practicing now. Also, I can only wink really well with one eye. I can wink with my other one now, if pressed, but for years, I could only do one. I just practiced with my left eye first. I think I intended to get around to the other one, but I was so happy to be able to wink when I got one eye down that I just stopped.
2- I have, from the age of at least 8, wanted to be the voice of an animated character in a full-length movie. When I was little, it was a Disney movie because when I was little Disney were the only ones making animated movies. But now I think I'd be happy with any animated movie. Only I'm a little sad because in the good old days, animated movies were musicals and the characters themselves sang. Now there's music from other artists in a soundtrack mode. And let's face it, one of the big reasons to be an animated star was to be able to sing.
3- I hope to one day have the definitive Jane Austen movie collection. This means every version of her books put on film. And I suppose the new movie coming out about her will probably be in there too. I have a few movies already, and an only moderately large wishlist on Amazon. This is because there are a lot of BBC versions of her books that just aren't available, at least here in the US.
4- I hadn't really put this one into words until I had already done it (yes, a goal accomplished, I know *applause*) but I had always wanted to eat a meal entirely with my hands. And not just hamburger and fries, but medieval style with a big hunk of meat and a foamy stein and all that good stuff. And let me tell you, it was really fun. And it felt really good to cross off a goal.
5-I would like to one day write a book. This is bizarre for me because a) I have at least 3 failed attempts at fiction taking up space on various hard drives and diskettes (yes, they are that old), b) despite what they tell you, you do not need to be a good writer, or a good speller to get a college degree in English, and c) I think my writing is actually decent (not that I'm biased or anything), but I never know how whatever I'm writing is going to end, which makes it difficult to finish. That is why I think my best chance to fulfill this goal is in the realm of non-fiction, or at least flirting with that line.
6- To own a beautiful 1914 edition (or older) of Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South. There was one at my college library that they actually let people borrow. I got it right before I graduated and that was the first time I've been really tempted to steal something. But I didn't. I've always loved old books, and now thanks to my experience with North and South, I intend to own it.
7- I want to live in a house with a turret. A two-story turret. And the first floor would be a library, and the top floor would be the master bedroom. Because who doesn't want to sleep in a turret? Also in this house that I will one day have will be a sewing room, and music room and a really cool play room. And (because of who I married) a home theater, which will probably not actually be attached to the house, but more like a garage, a separate garage.

I think this is So You!
Don't you hate it when people say that and then show you something that you would never be caught dead wearing/eating/doing/ect. ? Especially when said person is supposed to know you well, i.e. your mother. And sometimes it's something that would have suited you much better 5 years ago. Which just makes the whole situation more sad because either you haven't kept in good enough contact with your friend over the years, or your mother/family member hasn't noticed the changes in you over the past few years. Either scenario isn't pleasant. And then it puts you in such an awkward situation, at least if your me and not at all forthright on your emotional responses or opinions on things. Do you smile and just say "thanks", and then bury (either metaphorically or literally) whatever they give you? Or do you find some polite way to say, "sorry, that's so not me"? Oh the lose-lose situations we get ourselves into. Because who wants to turn away a gift? Especially when it's not for a special occasion. How often do those come around? And the person was thinking of you, you don't want to discourage that kind of behavior.
Anyway, these are the life dilemmas I think about. And this hasn't even happened to me in awhile.

I might have changed my mind
But hey, it's a woman's prerogative, right?
It's about the movie about my life, specifically the starring role and the casting thereof. While Joan Cusack is a good choice, and has beaten out the likes of Gweneth Paltrow, and Cate Blanchet both of whom would do a very good job, I think. But my new contender for Joan's job is Uma Thurman. Not only is she very like me physically, besides the blond hair (she's even my height) but she's done some quirky stuff. And she can do the Tara dance quite accurately. That's impressive. So I haven't made up my mind to change yet, but I could . . .

New Picture
There is now a new picture of me on my profile. . . . Okay, so it's not really me, but it's Joan Cusack who would play me in a movie about myself, so it's pretty much me.
P.S. That's a really good question to ask people, and to know yourself - "who would play you in a movie about yourself"
P.P.S. I'm still fielding awesome 80's favorites. Hint Hint. Any comment section will do.
