Meme #4

Okay...this is a good one.

Meme #3

Alright---the last meme I made got ONE RE-PIN on Pinterest! YESSSSSSS!!!! While I consider that a great victory, I am trying at least one more time.  (This is how I relax when my homework is almost done)

My goal for this one is to get THREE RE-PINS.  I'm banking on a lot of Les Mis loving floating around right now, and who doesn't love a Dwight meme?

Meme #2

Okay, so the Amanda Seyfried/Bunnicula meme didn't go anywhere, but today I was grocery shopping with my roommate and she unknowingly gave the inspiration for this next attempt.
All credit for this meme goes to Beka Fullerton for the idea, the random couple whose picture I found on Google images, and me for putting the two together.

Bucket List: Internet Meme

So, one of the things I like to do as I search for direction in life is to cross little items off my bucket list.  Maybe I'm not in a position to do big, life-changing things today but I can do little things that are just for fun and after I've done them, I get the satisfaction of checking them off that little list.

Today I have decided to create an internet meme.  An internet meme is something that spreads via the internet, and lately (thanks to Facebook and Pinterest), the word "meme" usually has a connotation of being humorous.

Ideally, I'd like to make a meme, post it on the internet, and then randomly find it in a few weeks after it has SPREAD ACROSS THE ENTIRE GLOBE! But honestly, if just two or three people re-pin in, I will consider that good enough.

Today's attempt features actress Amanda Seyfried, who is getting a lot of publicity and attention lately.  Generally speaking, she doesn't strike me as a look-alike for a small, furry animal, but every time I see this one picture I just can't shake the resemblance to "Bunnicula," the fictional rabbit vampire.

At least...I thought Bunnicula was fictional...after this picture, I'm not so sure. Perhaps Amanda is a were-rabbit.   (Let it be known, I don't really have an opinion on her acting abilities or personality or follow her celebrity gossip. Let's just say I call them as I see them.)

So now I am going to pin this picture onto my Pinterest, and we'll see if it goes anywhere.  If it doesn't, I'll just try again the next time the inspiration hits me for a new meme.

In Which the Blog Writer Begs for Help

It's been a while since I've posted on this blog, but today I have a special request of anyone who reads it...

HELP ME!

I decided yesterday to do NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), which is exactly what it sounds like.  You have one month to write a 50,000 word novel.  Way scary, right?

I don't know if I'll be able to do it, but I sure am going to try.  The only problem now is that I have a writer's block at word count 0.  I don't have a single idea to work from!!!

That's where you all come in.  Leave a comment of just a few random words or a random sentence that I could maybe glean some inspiration from. I'd really appreciate it.  The more random it is, the better!

I'm borrowing this concept from Rhett and Link, who used it to come up with one of my favorite songs, "Nilla Wafer Top Hat Time".  Leave a comment for me, and then watch the video as your special reward for helping a sista out.  Thanks everybody!

The Queen of First Impressions

Today I'd like to talk only about myself.  Generally, I try to avoid making my blog my online journal, but this is funny enough that I think you'll all enjoy reading it.

So, when I get a calling, my great fear is standing up in church to get sustained.  I hate just standing there in front of everyone, feeling self-conscious. I especially hate when I am the first name called and have to stand through all the rest. 

Well, last Sunday, I got ready for church and tried to look nice because I knew I'd be doing the awkward standing thing. I forgot to eat breakfast. 

We showed up two minutes late--just two minutes late enough that we had to sit in the empty seats near the front.

Brother White, our First Counselor, who I've introduced myself to several times, stands up to do the sustaining, and my name is--of course--the first one called. 

"We have called Brother Jordan Monson to be a Sunday school teacher" he says.  Oh rats. Not again. I stand up slowly, and then without thinking (no breakfast, remember) I hold my arms out to my sides and say "TADA" in the silent chapel.  (Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!)

Everyone stares at me, and brother white (realizing that I am, in fact, not man) laughs silently to himself...and keeps laughing...for what felt like a good five minutes, during all of which I am just standing alone. I sit down, but Brother White says "No--stand up for the rest", so back up I go!

Finally he reads the rest of the names and I get to sit, but here's the funny part:

Most the people in the chapel weren't paying attention when Bro. White called me a boy, and just wondered why this crazy girl was desecrating the chapel announcing herself with "TADA".  A few asked me about it later, and I cleared it up, but most will never know.  So now I am forever immortalized in my ward as either "Brother Jordan" (to the ones listening) or "TADA girl" (to everyone else). I am the queen of the first impression. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!
