I roam around Flickr, DeviantART, and Tumblr a lot, because I love looking at artwork and photography. I recently created an account on imgfave as a repository for my most favorite findings. Imgfave is similar to Ffffound! but its membership isn't exclusively by invitation-only.
I just cut my own hair. I had an A-line (longer front than back; see my Facebook profile photo) bob, and now have a layered, leveled bob.
Edit: So, apparently and unfortunately, micro-blog posting via Ping.fm does not use the post's date as the title of the entry as LiveJournal does. Check out the URL for this post: http://ensue.vox.com/library/post/i-just-cut-my-own-hair-i-had-an-a-line-longer-front-than-back-see-my-facebook-profile-photo-bob.html! The lack of a title alone necessitates editing of every micro-blogged entry posted from Ping.fm. So much for posting my status updates simultaneously to Vox.
Back in 2007, when previews and hype surrounding The Golden Compass film were afloat, I took a Daemon test on its official website. I didn't watch the film until recently -- loved it, by the way -- and decided to retake the quiz. However, their official quiz is no longer available. So I found an alternative, unofficial quiz that produced some interesting results.
My result for The Golden Compass Daemon Test ...
Open Solitary Soul
You are a caring and introverted personality. You need a lot of personal space, and you find dealing with strange people and new situations to be stressful and tiring. You need to relax with time to yourself in order to recharge after a highly social day. Despite your dislike of loud noises and big crowds, however, you are not shy. You have a good sense of your own self worth, and you are not afraid to be yourself.
You tend to wear your heart on your sleeve, and you are open and honest. Deception does not come easily to you. You have nothing to hide, and you are not afraid to tell people your opinions or express your feelings. This does not mean, however, that you tend to fly off the handle. Your own belief in yourself helps numb some of the wounds that are inflicted by cruel or thoughtless people. When they do hurt you, though, you can't help but show it.
Your daemon's form would represent your introverted nature, your expressiveness, and your strong sense of self. He or she would probably take an active interest in the world around you, and would have a lot to say.
Suggested forms: Panda, Arctic Fox, Domestic Cat, Wood Thrush, Spitz dog.
[I would probably like the arctic fox or domestic cat as a soul companion.]
Take the quiz, then share your results!
Here's a thought I've wanted to post but couldn't because I didn't have my computer.
I hate the superstitions attached to February 2nd, Groundhog Day. I found the concept interesting when I was a little child -- mainly because the tradition seemed somewhat magical and due to the involvement of a cute furry animal -- but it's now lost its appeal. Blah.
But I sure do love the movie "Groundhog Day" with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell.
A website I visit daily that has quickly become on of my favorite blogs. If you have ever wondered what can possibly happen in Michigan or what else this state is comprised of besides the automakers, then please check out this blog. It is updated regularly and features beautiful photos, mostly from Flickr, that express the beauty and uniqueness of my home state. Oftentimes, background information and links to other resources for further reading are also included, which enriches the viewing experience and brings another depth to the photos.
Today should be declared Thanksgiving!
I am extremely thankful that Obama won the US presidential election.
Thank you, Obama, for running for office.
I voted in the presidential election earlier today. Since the weather was so nice, my husband and I decided to walk to the junior high school (or is it now called a middle school?) to submit our votes. Of course, we both voted for Obama/Biden and voted yes to Stem Cell Research, which was on the Michigan ballot. As we were walking back home after voting we passed my father as he was driving his minivan to the school to vote before he picked up my sister from work.
My husband and I spent a nice day out and about. We shared a free dessert at Macaroni Grill with the use of a coupon I received for my birthday via their mailing list. We then stopped by a local Starbucks to receive a free Tazo tea (I selected China Green Tips) for voting in the election. Once we arrived at home we brought my sister up to speed on the basics of the presidential election and the participating candidates, as well as the two proposals on the Michigan ballot (approval for medical marijuana and stem cell research), since she doesn't follow politics. I am happy to announce that we were successful in motivating her to vote for her very first time! (Of course, we also took her to Starbucks for her very own free Tazo tea as a reward for voting.) She voted for Obama/Biden and for stem cell research. I am so glad that she voted and hope that she votes in future elections.
I rely on whitepages.com and Google411, among other websites, for phone directories and looking up addresses. I never use the bulky, paper phone books we receive in the mail each year, so I always recycle them. If you don't use the large and cumbersome Yellow Pages and/or White Pages phone directory books that are mailed (sometimes in duplicate or triplicate) to virtually every personal residence and business address within the United States, I hope you recycle them or reuse/repurpose them. However, wouldn't it be more environmentally responsible to prevent those books from being mailed to you in the first place?
Yellow Pages Goes Green also expresses ideas to petition for the country-wide cessation of unsolicited phone book mailings. Please view the website for more information, including links to other "green," environmentally conscious websites and organizations.
Please spread the word by telling and emailing your friends and family about this website. Thanks!
While we aren't certain the storyline is her "thing," and may be a bit above her reading level, the concept interested my husband and I enough to buy it for ourselves. This is the first installment of an intended trilogy. I intend to read it soon.
