one of the best i've seen in a while

humor me

i know i've done a post like this once or twice before, but guys, i'm really proud of myself.

i'm increasingly less germaphobic; this is  really, really cool for me.

signs of progress

• daily usage of school restroom (note: 7th grade through 10th grade it was exceedingly rare for me to step foot in any public facility.)
• backpack anywhere. it used to be that i would only put my backpack in the garage and take out the items i needed and carry them to my basement desk (note: the original purpose of my basement office was so i wouldn't mix school items with my bedroom--a forbidden concept in germaphobe world.) now, though i still don't do homework in my room, i'd like to think i would be able to have my backpack in there. maybe by the door. 
• i do a lot of my homework on my basement couch. textbooks are now strewn across the floor. this wouldn't have happened maybe even a year ago. 
• recently...occasionally.. i haven't immediately changed out of my school clothes after school. i've sat in my school clothes on regular couches and chairs.  WOAHH WHAA?!! YES. and i'm sitting on a couch right now that i have sat on with my school clothes and  i don't care at all. 

                                                    fucking awesome. 

i haven't been this disturbed by a music video since that hoobastank one

this is a thing?! that happens?!

sleep when you're dead

i was just thinking about how much i love the saying "sleep when you're dead!"

not only do you completely own whoever just rejected you by saying that, but it's a phrase that holds a lot of fucking depth.

don't get me wrong, i love sleeping, so i like to think "sleep when you're dead" means stop planning and organizing and stressing about the dumbest shit when we're all gon' die anyway- just live life to enjoy yourself. (i don't mean live soley hedonistically... but living without stressin about the little shit.)

 

not that i would ever practice this particular preaching.

self discoveries

after a hundred years of being asked what my hobbies are, i finally have answers. i'm really proud of myself. also--gon' throw a few verbs, a few nouns, a few shitty sentences, a few texting-only words on the list just to mix things up a bit [ironic winky face]

meghan's hobbies
1. discovering the utter shit/utter brilliance of my iPod while on shuffle. don't you love listening to a song you haven't listened to it two years and remembering your obsession with it? good timezzz
2. sleepin
3. awkward television obsessions w relatively short life-spans and awkward'r tv crushes (see current one)
4. THE REAL REASON I'M WRITING THIS DOWN: figuring out the connections between celebrities. example: seeing a celeb on twitter is following another celeb; if a celeb tags another celeb in a pic; if theres a picture of two randoms without an explanation----i will think short&not hard about reasons they'd know each other (movies, tv shows, guest episodes, having a celeb in common, which celeb in common, where they'd both know that celeb from, etc). only occassionally do i cheat and use imdb and i'm really good at it. if you've been wondering about a connection or wanna give me names of two celebs, i will totes think about it for ya!!!!!!!


:(

today's successful investigations into my mind-archive. my most lucrative (and impressive) skill happens to be my most charitable! who wuda thot

-kristen bell is following mae whitman on twitter because dax shepard is kristen's bf and he's on parenthood with mae (easy)
-emma stone and kat dennings have both spoke separately about going over to paul mccartney's house. were they together? yes. why? because they were in house bunny together and emma knows woody harrelson from zombieland and woody is friends with paul! BAM (hard)

megavideo no more :(

so this  is why i'm having such a hard time watching shotime's shameless season one... :(

"do i still love him? no"

she a pro.

"because it holds entertainment value...for me!"

i will now participate in sharing a recent conversation i had with a family member. please note: it won't be as funny as sonia's and it won't be as interesting as tina's. [said like Rob Lowe in Parks & Recreation] but, i found it to be personally, quite a fascinating look into my father's mind.


this morning we shared an argument about his favorite movies of all time, Serendipity and The Proposal. y'all probably haven't seen Serendipity--it was a shitty 2001 rom-com with kate beckinsale, john cusack and an atrocious plot-line...that i've of course seen cuz it was on netflix-instant and why not.

anyway, i just wanted to list a series of completely invalid points my father made during this argument while he put his hands on his hips and stared at me sternly (intermittently glancing at my mom for back up, to which she made no reply)

• [on why Serendipity doesn't suck] "Because it holds entertainment value...for me!"
• this is the dumbest, most vague assertion i've ever heard, every movie holds entertainment value, that doesn't mean it doesn't have the ability to suck
• [on why the dad from the proposal is the funniest character] "Because every rom-com* needs to have a NAYSAYER! A NAYSAYER! In this case, it is Craig T. Nelson, Meg, and you are just going to have to deal with that! Please!"
• not only is this point completely random, but i have no idea why he ends up pleading with me to understand the structure of movies
• [probably as he's interrupting one of my very vaild points] "Listen, listen.. give me a name. What is one of your favorite movies? HUH? What is one of your favorite movies...and how about...how about I tell you if I like it. Hmm?"
• this was so immature I had to run out of the room screaming, "Yous a child! Yous a child! Go cry to John Cusack cuz yous a child!" 
• [Me coming back into the room with a fresh cup of coffee] "Obviously man, my favorites are critically-acclaimed masterpieces and you just need to own up to the fact that you are prone to liking every crappy movie Sandra Bullock makes." To which he replied... "NO! NO! ... You know what's at the top of my list? Hmm? It's Casablanca." 
• OK. Not only did he claim that his favorite movie is the most romantic movie ever made, but he knew I hadn't seen it. This was a childish attempt to establish his superiority.
• [Again, randomly] "You know the naysayer from Serendipity? What's his name? Ummm...from that HBO show that just ended..?" I say, "Entourage. Jeremy Piven." "Right...so like I said.. What's your favorite movie? JUST TELL ME."
• i have no idea where he was going with that 

and then i left.

*yes, he uses the word "rom-com" , and does so without a trace of irony... :(

my thoughts on golden globe fashion 2012 bcuz im allowed

when i first looked through the pictures, i was disappointed. first of all, no one's smiling. they all look rather miserable. secondly, all the dresses are drab. they all have unnecessary fabric placed somewhere stupid on the frame. boring. ugh. a lot of off-white and matte-red.


warning: my critiques are vague and the sentences don't connect. whoops. also--typos. too slow to load to fix them, my bad.

gorgeous. love the hair. not a huge fan of this version of the mullet-dress with the weird draping on the front. but still, gorgeous. the shoes.................................reminiscent of ice-skates.



the matching clutch is beyond ridiculous. if she hadn't been holding that and had put her hand on her tiny waist i think the outfit would've looked flawless. WTF is up with brad pitt's cane ? his outfit suits him damn fine tho!



what kind of hallucinogenic drugs did reese take? cuz i think she thinks she at her 1985  prom... and the extra, wrinkled fabric at the bottom looks hella tacky... the hair looks like chelsea handler on a tired day. the bodice doesn't fit her well at all... *sigh*



really beautiful, simple, well-fitted dress. but who cares? clooney does a tux soooooooooo well


reminds me of connie britton at the emmys last year (http://www.washingtonpost.com/rf/image_296w/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2011/09/18/Style/Images/125595398.jpg) , but with a darker hue. looks fabbbbbbbbbbbbulous! she looks great.


is that a hat?! ugly shoes. the dress is mehh. love this actress though, she can wear anything and i really don't give a fuckk.

only madonna...i think it looks really cool. and i saw a picture of it without those damn gloves and it made a woooooooooorld of difference!


*faints* she can do no wrong. FUCK-KING LOVE HER. i literally...this dress...UGH.



looks like what someone's spicy grandma would wear, but with shorter sleeves. i love it on michelle though. the headband...mehh. but she definitely has the body for this dress. amy poehler does not...wish she had worn something less reminiscent of the emmys (poehler, that is)


i don't care what anyone thinks, this is awesome. and tilda has done a whole lot worse.


a lot like angelina's stunner a few years back..hard to compare. hate the hair...the dress is obvs gorgeous tho. the earrings are too much.


GLENN CLOSE CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK SHE WANTS.

SAME WITH MERYL TIMES INFINITY

i'm torn on this one. would like to know what others think..SERIOUSLY. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN, LIFE. but really---tacky?slutty?bra showing? or cool color contrast with the earrings; brave color choice; interesting design ????????

would've been so awesome if the "sheer" lining had been more her skin tone. but as it is, i'm reminded of a drag queen. oh lea michele...you try. you really try, very hard.

very very similar to shit she's done before, but she's fucking gorgeous. swear to god though she's worn this dress twice before but in different colors. ugh...bored.


stunning. edgy. beautiful fit; perfect for her body type. accessories are perfect. the lip color is perfect. LOVE HER.



jeez what's with the prom dresses... and who told her spaghetti straps are back? and the tiers? why. why.


tina, tina, tina...... i can't say anything bad about her. maaaaaaaaybe not this best choice considering height....that's all i'm saying. AT LEAST IT'S COLOR.

reminds me of a georgia o'keeffe painting, if you know what i mean...


because of this year's drab selection, i'm forced to say i love this. really beautiful, especially with the dark hair. reminds me of something mary-louise parker should wear. beautiful...even with her shoulders. wow, i'm mean.


looks like the inside of a ballerina music box (..what are those called...) her tan is gorgeous tho. good color, if not too boring

see what i mean? she wore this same fit to the emmys (same)! didn't anyone tell her she looks so boxy ... this one's a lot better though. her hair and make up are perfect. love the clutch.

LOVE. i mean, LIKE. WAVERING. though not sure if totally globes appropriate. not sure if grecian goddess is still in, either. but what do i know.


not a usually a fan of mermaid-style, but julianne moore completely rocks this. and she's such an expert at utilizing green (because of her hair)
 she looks like a beta fish. a hot beta fish, but a beta fish NONETHELESS


what's happening right now...am i actually interested by a design ?!? yes. it's interesting. but that's really all it's got going for it.

ok for some reason the nicole kidman pic wouldn't drag and i got sick of trying. anyway, i was gon' say  if the dress was thigh-length she'd look like a 70s roller-rink whore. and yet she looks like barbie, so i'm confused as to why she doesn't have a better stylist. (pic)



great color, perfect shoes (and toe nails!! sexy!) really nice choice, laura.don't love the make up.


i love the hair! a nice change of pace from her usual hella thick layery extensions. i don't have any strong negative opinions about this and i like that it's different.



okay i don't understand dis bitch. 1.) why is she here. she always picks the dumbest roles. like i saw her in that trailer for the new mark wahlberg movie and i was like REALLY, KATE, REALLY? AGAIN? 2.) she's ridiculously beautiful 3.) the dress looks like "contemporary bride" in this month's david's bridal catalog.



this looks like the shitty work from a project runway cast-off. she manages to make it look decent, though...maybe? NOPE NEVERMIND



reminds me of emma stone's dress from last year (http://cdn.buzznet.com/media-cdn/jj1/headlines/2011/01/emma-stone-2011-red-carpet-golden-globe-awards.jpg) that's all i have to say. heidi's usually very hit-or-miss but idk with this one...ehh. boring ass hair.

julie bowen looks like grace kelly, princess of monaco. but that one would fuckin' drag either.
