Help Me.

As you may or may not know, I'm wildly in love with the Olympics. I'm not quite sure what it is about it, but I get the super warm fuzzies during the theme song, love watching opening ceremonies, and get so amped about the games and the competition. I have VHS tapes of games when I couldn't watch it (due to school/work/time zone differences) and consequently have applied to like 18 different positions for the 2010 Games in Vancouver. It would be so bad ass if I could work for the Olympics. The next best thing is going to the Olympics. I sort of had the opportunity a year ago (Whoa.. the last Olympics were only a little over a year ago!) when some of my family members were going. Except I was working like a crazy person and didn't get to go. Super. Freaking. Sad. Face. I even contemplated flying to China for a weekend just to go. *sigh.


Anyhoooooo... I know while I could go, Microsoft is having this contest for a student blogger and a female blogger to be on their blog team for the games. How neat would that be?!?! I debated telling you all about it, because I don't need any more competition than there already is - but hey - if you win, you totally have to bring me along. But before you enter, I need help. One of the things you can submit is a photo of yourself, in your blogging environment. I spent a few hours taking pictures of myself in my room (it is WAY harder than it looks) and don't "love" any of them, but kind of luke warm like. So, if you were a judge and the criteria was "featuring you in your home/personal blogging area. The photo will only be eligible for bonus points if it features the entrant (and no other people) AND is the environment where you traditionally blog." I also can't include any third party logos - so besides the Macs (which I'm sure Microsoft will love to see two of them in the wide shot pictures) if there is anything glaringly obvious let me know!

The picture above is just them arranged on my desktop. I uploaded them to a set in flickr so you can examine them closer. Which one do you like best? Which one should I enter?

That's What You Said

On making bad decisions...
Jean: It's after midnight, this should not be happening!
Dorina: At least it's not after 2am

~~~~~~~~~~

Talking about exchange of favors
Jean: "Well, it makes up for all the times you took me to school when I missed the bus."
J's Dad: "You should have taken a taxi."
Jean: "Sure, you just would have had to pay for it."
J's Dad: "I'd take it out of your allowance."
Jean: "Okay, I didn't get allowance anyways."
J's Dad: "Sure you did, we gave you money for lunch."

Random Musings in Our Apartment
Dorina: "You know what are awesome?... Jolly Ranchers"
Nicole: "Are they the candy or the people?"

Dorina: "Movie! Movie!"
Jean: "Get up and put it in."
Nicole: "That's what she said."

Drea's birthday @ The Brig
Andrea: "Can I leave you alone to go to the bathroom?"
Jean: "I think I'll be okay."
Andrea: "Don't let weird people talk to you."

Sunday "morning", January 4, 2009 - @ Backstage & Our Apartment
Dorina: "Does curated mean catered?"
Us: "No"
Dorina: "Shit."

Andrea: "I'm not unhappy for them. I'm just unhappy for the rest of us."

True story.

Friday night, December 26, 2008 - watching Bedtime Stories
Movie: "We'll combine the romance, and the action, and make it a ROMACTION story!"
Nicole: "I need some Romaction."

(ps. Andrea - at karaoke Saturday night - we sang Torn for you.)

Friday night, December 5, 2008 @ Gaslite - West LA, CA
Mix girls and alcohol and some awesomeness, and here's what you get:

Dorina: "Sorry, I had to move. I didn't want to get uglier."

[while Natalie Imbruglia's Torn comes on]
Andrea: "This is why I don't come to karaoke. Cuz I would totally be THAT girl"
