Don’t believe everything you see on the internet…

Do you think this pic is real? or a fake? I spent a good chunk of time thinking about this photo the other night. It’s been all over the internet lately – some of you have probably already seen it.

Anyway, the irony is shocking. So shocking that I wondered whether or not it’s actually legit.

What do you think?

(not sure where this came from – I think it’s on facebook somewhere – wish I could give credit – just know I didn’t take the photo)

It’s all about the challenge!

Well. It’s that time again. Time for me to kick it into high gear with this writing thing I’m supposed to be doing this year. And, I figure, what better way to do this than with another crazy writing challenge situation:

I came across this yesterday, via my girl Juliana. It’s a 21 day sprint for Buddhist writers.

[insert my crazy mind-reading trick]

I know you’re thinking: “What? Mandy’s not Buddhist.” You are correct. But, I am into yoga – the exercise kind of yoga; and I’m VERY much into writing (songs have words! yay). PLUS, Drew totally thinks it’s a good idea. And, like I said above, it’s all about the challenge.

Write 800 words a day, do yoga 5 days a week, for 21 days.

I’m on it like white on rice.

Because, here’s the deal: If I don’t challenge myself to do something, I’ll never do anything.

Have you ever pushed yourself to achieve a goal? What was it? How’d you do?

You’re Famous!!!

Well…. Not you.

Or me.

But after all that skinonym talk (which was awesome, btw), I got to thinking what would it be like to be famous? You know – when there’s no paparazzi around, or red carpet to walk on, or makeup artists from the magazine or TV show or movie set.

Like:

Does the celebrity go get her own donuts from the corner-store on a Saturday morning?

Does the celebrity spend the day in PJs if she wants?

Or does she have to spend 3 hours on the treadmill after eating all those donuts?

Do she always have to have perfect hair and skin and makeup?

Do she know how to use a vacuum? Or cook her own food?

Does she have friends who just come over and hang out like normal people?

Is it possible to be normal and a celeb all at the same time?

I don’t know.

What do you think?

Skinonyms

Do you ever see someone and think: gee – they look like so-and-so?

Who hasn’t thought that?

Somebody recently said that my husband looks like Vigo Mortgensen. And, hello? I won’t argue with that!

I’ve been told I look a bit like Parker Posie. Or some girl on a Witch tv show. Uhhh… Not so sure about that one…

Anyway, have you ever been told you look like someone? Who’s your skinonym?
