Alright! So, 5 confessions?!
1- I have not picked up a novel since I finished On The Road A MONTH AGO. I did just read through Matthew Dickman's new book of poems- Mayakovsky's Revolver a few times (read this book!)... but that's it. It's the *first* time I haven't been reading a story of some sort in over three years!
2- I am terrified of this year's NaNo-- the thought of trying to bang out 1600+ words a day is truly scary! Between being a mom and partner, planning a wedding, running Mama's Got A Big Belly!, launching Fit Friends, throwing Eva's 5th Birthday, a visit from my Mom AND Thanksgiving-- yep-- November is packed full! (But-- let's try to get the greater part of a novel finished- why not!? Ha.)
3. Since I stopped running advertisements on this blog, closed the Facebook page and in general just stopped having a rhyme or reason to any of my posts-- Google followers dropped from over 100 to 41! (Maybe I should add the Google Widget again?) But, since this blog is such a modge podge of randomness-- it doesn't bother me in the slightest!
4. I'm kind of obsessed with Ryan Gosling right now. Between The Ides of March and Drive-- the characters he plays are pretty freaking bad ass. Have you seen either of those movies? Fucking brilliant. Fucking brilliant!
5. I've been in love with Garrett since I was 19 years old. Daily, I have moments when I look at him and I get all ooey gooey, girly whirly, smooshy wooshy, lovey dovey feeling and I have to hug him-- and think to myself, "Is this really my life?"
Well GFC is also retiring, so that could explain the drop as well.
ReplyDeleteI actually moved my blog on to a new account and since I started the account after they announced the end of GFC I am unable to follow blogs with it. I had to move everything on to Bloglovin!
You are lucky that you and your best friend are in love! I am in love with my best friend too but sadly he does not feel the same :(
Dude-- I don't pay attention! Totally didn't realize that was the case with GFC! Thanks for the heads up! I feel pretty lucky... but trust me-- it took a ton of work, forgiveness and rebuilding to get to this point. Maybe one day your best friend will come around-- OR-- it also means that there is something even better out there on the horizon. xo
DeleteRyan Gosling is amazing. Have you seen Blue Valentine yet? He KILLS that performance. So good.
ReplyDeleteUM NO. I will be renting that now ASAP!
DeleteRyan Gosling is a godsend! Have you seen Crazy. Supid. Love. ? I've only watched it like 50 times jk/lol. My younger sister actually went to high school with him and my friend Tiffany dated him in grade 9.
ReplyDeleteI've only watched it like 50x too, no big deal haha Did she really?! That's freaking crazy! SMALL WORLD-- all peoples are just peoples!!!!
DeleteWhat I really like is that the last picture there has an old school Nintendo in it. That is all.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen either of those movies - apparently I'll have to check them out! thanks for linking up and sorry I'm just now getting around to reading!
