Friday Frivolity!

March 21st, 2008

I spent way too much time on this site yesterday…and I do mean "wayyyy".  I found out that I am only 46% Geek, can only name a minimal amount of colors in five minutes and am apparently also a total drunkard lush!

However,  I liked this one here because it actually tested my knowledge….

Can I just say that watching Survivor and The Amazing Race probably added 20 points that I otherwise would not have even dreamed of seeing?  Un yeahhhh, Geography much?

How well can YOU do?

We’re Gonna Be Like Three Little Fonzies Here*….

March 14th, 2008

Thanks to Sizzle and Diane, I immediately dropped everything I was doing (playing with Photoshop CS3) and started in on MY version of the Interactive Movie Meme.  Of course, because it’s me…I’ll be putting my own spin on it.  But for now, here’s how the meme works (I’ll add my optional addition at the end):

* Pick 15 of your favorite movies
* Go to IMDB and find a quote from each
movie (or quote them from memory because you are that bad ass)
* Post them on
your blog for everyone to guess
* Fill in the film title once it’s been
guessed

These are your rules:
* No Googling or using IMDB search functions (Don’t
cheat!)
* Leave your answer(s) in the comments

1. "There are too many mediocre things in life to deal with and love shouldn’t be one of them."
(Dream for an Insomniac - guessed by Jamie)

2. "I am not deceitful! And I am not a liar. For if I were, I should say that I loved you. I do not love you. I dislike you more than anyone in the world, except your son."
(Jane Eyre - guessed by Amanda)

3. "You can’t really dust for vomit."
(This Is Spinal Tap- guessed by Suze)

4. "But if staying here means working within 10 yards of you, frankly, I’d rather have a job wiping Saddam Hussein’s arse."
(Bridget Jones’ Diary- guessed by Sizzle)

5. "Looks like two pigs fightin’ under a blanket."
(Steel Magnolias- guessed by Alissa)

"6. Life goes by pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
(Ferris Bueller’s Day Off - guessed by Brandon)

7. "No sugar? Damn. Y’all ain’t never got two things that match. Either y’all got Kool-aid, no sugar. Peanut butter, no jelly. Ham, no burger. Daaamn."
(Friday - guessed by Brandon)

8. "But you know the thing about romance is people only get together right at the very end."
(Love, Actually- guessed by Suze)

9. "As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "i" in pie. And there’s an "i" in meat pie. Meat is the anagram of team… I don’t know what he’s talking about."
(Shaun of the Dead - guessed by Adena)

10. "Hey, try not to suck any dick on the way to the parking lot! "
(Clerks - guessed by Sizzle)

11. ‘Let me tell you what ‘Like a Virgin’ is about. It’s all about a girl who digs a guy with a big dick. The entire song. It’s a metaphor for big dicks." 
(Reservoir Dogs- guessed by Brandon)

12. "A woman without love is like a flower without sun; she wilts [Une femme sans amour, c'est comme une fleur sans soleil, ça dépérit.]."
(Amelie - guessed by Adena )

13. "The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."
(Moulin Rouge - guessed by Suze)

14. "You have exactly ten seconds to change that look of disgusting pity into one of enormous respect!"
(The Producers - guessed by Amanda)

15. "I don’t wanna sound like a queer or nothin’, but I think Depeche Mode is a sweet band!"
(Orgazmo- guessed by  Diane)

AND NOW FOR THE REMEDIAL SECTION:  Because most of my favorite movies have the most recognized quotes in the world, this is the remedial section of favorite quotes from my REAL favorite movies….bonus points for you!

A. "Oh, I’m sorry. Did I break your concentration? You were sayin’ somethin’ about "best-intentions". What’s the matter? Oh! You were finished? Well, allow me to retort!"
(Pulp Fiction - guessed by Fig)

B. "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
(Princess Bride - guessed by Sizzle)

C. "Didn’t throw up? No? Maybe it was a dream then, you know… a very weird… bizarre… vivid… erotic… wet… detailed dream. Maybe we had malaria."
ETA: Maybe I should help you out with another quote from this movie: "Well my nuts are halfway up my ass but other than that I’m perfect!"
(Weird Science- guessed by Dan)

D. "Man, he’s like tripendicular, ya know?"
(Valley Girl- guessed by Jenny)

E. Relax, would you? We have seventy dollars and a pair of girls underpants. We’re safe as kittens.
(Sixteen Candles- guessed by Sizzle)

F. * Quote the title for even more points!
(Pulp Fiction - guessed by Fig)


HERE IS WHERE THE OPTIONAL PART COMES IN:  These will probably get guessed pretty quickly if I know my readers.  So to ensure mass participation, you may not only guess the quotes but also try to stump me in comments with a quote of your own.  Once all of my quotes are guessed, I will work on guessing YOURS.  And no, I don’t Google on the first date.  Remember, this part is highly optional but can be fun…

In any case, get to guessing!  I’ll be here waiting to pimp your name out when you guess correctly!

Me

“A” Is For Answers And Answers Are For You….

March 1st, 2008

Well the time has come to give you the answers to the little Quizzy Quiz that you took on Thursday.  I was impressed with a lot of your answers and even though they couldn’t all be the right ones, you guys nailed a lot of more important ones and that just plain rocks!  As I said, the winners will be receiving an email from me with instructions on what they can and cannot "multiple choice" dare me to do, say or blog.  Holy Macaroni…I am so glad that some certain people did not win!

I decided that I would grant this honor upon the three highest winners!  You want to know who they are?  Yeah well, suck it.  I kid, I kid!  But first, let’s take a look at what the answers actually are and then you greedy bitches will get to know who won!

“Q” Is For Quizzies And Quizzies Are For Me…

February 28th, 2008

It’s time for yet another Hilly Quiz!  Throw your hands up in the air and yell "yayayayay" just like Grover does, yo!  Okay, then when you’re done getting all silly and stuff, I’d love for you to play my little quiz that I’ve cooked up for your pleasure.  Oh and guess what?  It’s a contest!  Whoever guesses the most correct answers will get to send ME a multiple choice list of dares/things they want me to write about and I will pick one (and only one, freakshows).  We’ll get to the rules of what actually constitutes a "dare that Hilly will do" later on but for now….it’s anyone’s game.

So please, come test your knowledge…..

1.) I’m a reality teevee whore and even *I* think this is a bad idea:

2.)  I wear this color panties more than any other:

  • Pink
  • White
  • Black

3.) If they don’t have French Toast, I’ll just get pancakes instead!

  • True
  • False

4.)  Were I to just blindly hand over my blog for someone to design without my having one teency bit of input, it would be:

5.)  I’d be most likely to say this phrase twenty times during one conversation:

  • Omigod!
  • That’s awesome, by the way
  • Yeah but…whatever

6.)  It would be highly unlikely that I would want to have a discussion about:

  • Poker
  • Feminism
  • Big, long, scary looking tapeworms

7.)  The truth that I hide away from the world is:

  • That I’m scared of everything
  • That I worry that I’ve fucked up my life beyond repair
  • That my depression feels like it’s owning me these days
  • That I hate the way I look

8).  Booze I’m most likely to drink when the world runs out of lemon drops:

  • Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (Beer)
  • Any Gewürztraminer (wine) from the Alsace region
  • Captain Morgan Rum and Diet Coke

9.)  The song lyric that gives me the romantic chills more than any other:

  • "Will you let the morning come soon or will I always be here?"
  • "Deep within I’m shaken by the violence of existing for only you."
  • "And is your place in heaven worth giving up these kisses?"

10.) What announcement would I like to make today?

Me

Quirka Lurka Ramma Lamma Ding Dong!

February 23rd, 2008

I’m quirky…I get around.
I’m quirky…and I’m always down.

It’s Meme Day!  Party hats and balloons, bitches!

Ahem, anyway….so there’s that meme thing that’s been going around the Wide Wide World of Web.  There are all these rules that go along with it like linking the person who tagged you, posting the rules, listing some shit, tagging other people, naming your unborn child after the person who you tagged first, then mixing your dinner in a blender and eating it.  But I don’t really swing that way so I’m just gonna list six quirky things about myself and let you decide if you want to post this on your blog. 

SIX QUIRKY THINGS ABOUT MISS HILLY…

1.  I take regular songs and use/abuse them by adding my own words to them ALL OF THE TIME.  That little ditty up there at the beginning of the post?  That used to be "She’s Crafty" by the Beastie Boys.  Karl and I made a whole song about Dave and Artificial Duck set to the tune of Depeche Mode’s "One Caress".

2.  I’m always drinking out of two water bottles at the same time…one upstairs and one downstairs.  It has nothing to do with being lazy but moreso with being forgetful.

3.   I sleep with my own blanket.  Sure, I share a bed with my husband but before I go to sleep each night, I take our comforter and move it to his side of the bed then I grab my smaller sized white down comforter that used to be on our guest bed and cover myself with that. 

4.  I watch an episode of The Simpsons every night before bed.  When I am sort of feeling sleepy, I play one of my various recorded episodes and fall asleep while watching it.  I have no idea why Homer Simpson makes me go night-night!

5.  Once I meet and hang out with someone for awhile, they immediately get a nickname.  Hell, sometimes I just have to know them online for that to happen.  Still…I don’t think I have one friend that doesn’t have at least ONE nickname that I’ve given them, if not more.

6.  I often do memes and posts and leave stuff out, like number six of this meme.  Thanks to Jamie, I now have a number six, haha!  Seriously though, I do that all the time.  I end up editing my posts after they are live.  I think my brain moves way too fast.

Saturday Is Made For Sleeping In Kisses,
Me

Self-Love Day 2008: A Whole New Kind Of Valentine’s Day!

February 5th, 2008

Valentine’s Day is not a favorite holiday for most
people.  I can take or leave "Pepto-Bismol Day" quite frankly.  We’re often told that diamonds are
forever, chocolate equals love and that flowers will win her over.
We’re somehow brainwashed into thinking that if we don’t have anyone to
celebrate this day with, then we are "less than" and should feel bad
about ourselves and/or depressed on February 14th.  Even those of us
who are in touch with our emotions, claiming to be smarter than the
greeting card companies, sit and wonder……is this FTD bouquet coming
into the office actually mine?  And then, when it passes us by we STILL
go home and keep our ears open just "in case" the doorbell happens to
ring with our present from a secret admirer.  Don’t think that married
people have it any easier, because we have a whole new set of mental
masturbation to conquer.  Therefore we are bringing back…

Self-Love Day 
(aka "Learning To Love Me")
Valentine’s Day, February 14th!


    

No more "how much do I love thees"… rather ask yourself the
question, "how much do I love ME?"  Even if you have someone on this
special day, take the time to think about yourself, list your good
qualities, have some positive perspective on who you are and treat
yourself better than you ever have.  This is a day to pamper yourself,
be happy with who you are and declare yourself free from wondering if he went to
Jared!

Last year, everyone took one of the banners and posted it on their sites with their Self-Love Day blog post.  Please feel free to do the same this year and if you’d like to pimp this out on your blog beforehand…that’d be funky fresh too!

HERE ARE THE RULES!!!

1.) Post one of them thar banners on your blog and declare February 14th as the day you not only love your one and only, but the day that you love yourself!

2.) Post one nice thing about yourself……then ask others to post one thing that they really like about you.

 

3.)  Enjoy yourself!

If you’d like to see an example of what the fuck I’m talking about, here is my Self-Love Day post from 2007, and here are some others. 


I"ll remind you again next Wednesday!!!  And just in case I wasn’t crystal clear, you can pimp the idea whenever you want but "SELF-LOVE POSTS" go up on V-Day itself.

Me

Band-tastic, then!

January 18th, 2008

First saw this over at Karl’s:

LET’S MAKE A BAND:

1. The first article title HERE is the name of your band.
2. The last four words of the very last quote HERE Is the title of your album.
3. The third picture HERE, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4. Now take your pic, add the band name and title to it, then post it.

Who says you need Guitar Hero to be a total rock star?

Band


Now then….back to my regularly scheduled "not gonna post until I have something of interest to say" phase.

Happy Friday Kisses!

Friday Retro Revival…Me And My Memes!

January 11th, 2008

Now that I’ve taken enough pills to ward off my psychosis had some time to think it over, I’ve decided that posting my memes are not such a bad thing.  To tell you why I don’t like doing them would most assuredly make me sound like a heinous bitch so I tell you what….let’s just forget I ever went crazy said I didn’t like to do them and get to it, shall we?

This one is brought to you (and me) by the lovely Geeky Tai-Tai!  Here are the rules:

  • Link to the person that tagged you: Diana
  • Post the rules on your blog.
  • Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself on your blog, tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Since I’m already working on that "100 Things About Me" List, these seven will also count towards that and will be entered accordingly when I combine the hell out of those suckers.  Hey, betcha never thought I’d get to the rest of the "things", right?  Anywayyyyy….

1.)  When I am behind a driver from another state, say Arizona, I roll my eyes and bitch at how slow they are going.  When I am behind a California driver, I roll my eyes and bitch about them being in such a fucking hurry.  Bottom line?  I bitch a lot when I drive.

2.)  Speaking of driving, I’m not a honker.  In fact, unless you are about to be hit by someone or hit *them*, the horn is useless.  I hate it when people honk horns in bumper-to-bumper traffic.  I am, however, a yeller/cusser.  I won’t waste horn time on you, but you best believe I just called you a cock-snuggling assjacket after you cut me off!

3.) When I am truly dieting in "WW Nazi" fashion, I hate getting asked out to lunch or dinner.  It’s like even though I know that I can order something healthy when I am out, I won’t.   Sometimes I even find excuses *not* to go.  Le sigh…did I mention my Dad is in town and we are having dinner with him tonight?  Gotta go though, it’s my Dad.

4.) I’ve had sex with 22 people….yes, I *did* say twenty-freaking-two.  I sort of blabbed it out on Fab’s radio show a few weeks ago, but thought I’d just announce my whoredom here.  Sadly, almost all of those people except for three were "done" from the age 17-25.

5.) When I was about six years old, I got my right index finger slammed in the front door and the tip from the top knuckle up came completely off.  They sewed it back on and gave me a splint….you can’t even tell to look at it, which is kind of odd and neat at the same time.

6.) I watch reruns of Wings every night before I go to sleep.  Contrary to my self-proclaimed love-sex-crush thing for Tim Daly, that’s really not why I watch.  Even all these years later, that show makes me laugh out loud due to the comedic timing of Tony Shalhoub and Thomas Haden Church.

7.) I know sign language.  I may not be exactly fluent but I do know all the cuss words and enough to get by conversationally (even without the naughty lingo).  I learned it when I worked for the California Relay Service for the Deaf.

Now then, here are the 7 people I am tagging: you, you, you, you, you, you, you.  Yes, you!  Ya like apples?  How do you like *those* apples?

And just to show that I’m totally insane a totally good sport, I’ll repost my iTunes Meme under the jump.

Day Three: Halloween Me, Beyotches!

October 31st, 2007

Good Lord…why did I promise to "birthday blog" every day PLUS promise to do a complicated meme all in one week?  Either I love you all sooo sooo much or I am a masochist….you decide.  In any case, I did promise SJ like months ago that I would participate in the "Behind The Mask: Who’s That Blogger" Halloween Challenge.

Get Funky With SJ's Behind The Mask Challenge!

The basic gist, once again, is that you as readers are trying to match the blogger with the thing that corresponds to them.  Some people are doing quotes, others are doing foods, but you know me…I am doing lyrics.  I’ve listed seven bloggers and seven different song lyrics below….it is your job to decide who goes with what lyrics the best you can.  You can guess one, two or all of them!  The person who guesses the most correctly gets….well, nothing really except for maybe a few kisses from me and my undying love and respect.  So, no pressure!

Okay here we go…match that blogger!  Also, keep in mind that I am an abstract person at times and you are trying to guess what *I* think goes with each person.  It’s like a very demented version of Apples to Apples!  Also because of this…if your name is on the list below, I still encourage you to play especially to see if you can guess what I picked for you (and the others, of course!)

Soooo, let’s play "Behind The Mask":
