HAPPY BIRTHDAY,TEEF! [/geepsee accent]

[stoney321]

Why my older sister got the nickname

First off, I would give real money to find the picture of my older sister and I dressed up like gypsies for Halloween (a perennial favorite as it didn't require my mother to buy anything) with huge lips painted on, my mother's hoop earrings tied with ribbons around our ears. Or the one where we went in our "Pioneer Day" costumes (it's a Mormon thing) and she was the Indian, and I was a pilgrim. Good times. I do not believe we reenacted the Mountain Meadow Massacre. At least, not in an official capacity.



That's her holding our dog, Muffin. That is also what we lovingly referred to as the "San Juan" house. Because that was the street we grew up on, and we're all kinds of clever. This is the house where she taught me to read at the age of 3. This is also the house where she drew my name on the wall (I was a baby at the time) and said I did it. This is the house that Juan built where I have my first memory of waking up in my crib and seeing my sister asleep in her bed with the Holly Hobby sheets. We had a Holly Hobby playhouse, too, and red socks, and SOMEWHERE on this earth is a picture of the two of us standing in front of it with our socks halfway off our feet. (Tiff, did we have Little House on the Prairie lunch boxes? Or were they Holly Hobby? Um, HH was HUGE in the 70s, okay?)

She was my first playmate, she was the person who introduced me to all of the cool music (even though it pissed her off that I swiped her REM tapes - yes, children, TAPES) she was who broke in her clothes so that they MIRACULOUSLY fit me better than my own clothes, and would threaten me with death when she caught me in the halls at school in her black Esprit cropped-ankle pants. Or that blue floral shirt with the cream pattern? Or those KICK ASS light-blue GAP jeans I always snuck out of your room, remember those? Good times. Man, she used to pound the SHIT out of me back in the day. Hahaha.


She had hair so long as a little girl, she had to move it to sit down. (My mother was a big fan of Crystal Gayle. Heh.)

She also used to protect me, as I was a quiet, studious child, prone to picking up bullies like a hooker picks up politicians. Brett Boogscott (his real name, I swear!) lived three houses down and looooved torturing me on the way home from school. I'd walk three blocks out of the way to avoid him. Tiff put an end to that by threatening him with getting "racked." I was safe. She was one of the "it" girls in high school. A cheerleader, the school mascot a few years later, friends with the HOTTEST guys in school, cool friends... That was Tiff. We drifted apart in high school due to familial situations brought on by our parents' divorce - we moved in our own circles - but she was still someone I wanted to BE. Sure, together, cool. Hence the swiping of her clothing. (And seriously. Her bubble butt - she had one of those PERFECT behinds, the jerk - made her pants look SO GOOD on me. Damn. And still do!)


(there she is on the left, lil' sis Beth on the right)

For all of our differences, and at 22 months apart, we had LOADS of differences as sisters do, I will never NEVER forget that I called my sister in a frenzied panic one morning, and even though she was almost eight months pregnant with her first child, she and her husband loaded a trailer to their vehicle and drove seven hours to get me and my two babies and get us to safety. Never once did she say a word about her discomfort. Never once did she complain about the inconvenience. Not once did she say "I told you so" about my shit of a first husband. What she DID do is love my kids to start their healing, provided us with shelter for two days before we moved back home to my parents(-ish), and got me moving on to where I am now. That was the hardest thing I every did in my life (I have pride issues) and she made it seem like it was nothing, which I can't stress how important that was to me.

Tiff, because I'm lame, your present wont get there until Friday. BUT IT WILL GET THERE. Which just means your birthday can't end until all presents have arrived. :) Happy Birthday, Tiffy-shell.

AND NOW. TV TALK. Could be spoilerish under here, so be warned!






FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

Okay, are you KIDDING ME? With the awesomeness that is this show, of course. Best friends? Check. Two sets on the show to watch? Check. One guy that seems to have it all, the other who struggles? Check, with both sets.

TIM/JASON: just... this is the very embodiment of masculinity maturing, right here. Tim wants to BE Jason. So much that he's in love with Jason's girl (man, has he fallen hard.) And him cleaning up to impress Lyla? Because he wants to BE Jason? Last week when he finally showed up to help Jason in rehab and held his head? Raise your hand if you were waiting for a thumb stroke on Jason's cheek? Tim choking up after KICKING ASS in the game (I was seriously cheering him on like it was a REAL GAME) and telling Jason that "I love you like a brother, man." Waaaaaaaah!

MATT/LANDRY: Landry continues to be awesome. Dorky, aware of his dorkiness, and not caring, because he likes himself. Man, that is a welcome change in the face of TV (hello, Willow?) That he's still friends with Matt after last week's fight is a testament to their friendship. How LANDRY is the strong one, even though Matt is getting everything. (Almost.) Oh, Julie. You want him now, and it's too cute by half. Matt's stutter is adorable and stressful and I love it. Landry giving Matt dating advice is hilarious. Tyra's older sis telling Landry to "come back in four years" at the beer party and Landry asking for that in writing, hahahahahaha!! I love that kid. (Also, quick shout out to the beer barn, woot! Do other states have party barns? Such a dumb idea, but such a GREAT idea.)

And Coach Taylor continues to become more sexy with every episode. His gravely sleep-deprived voice??? And his wife continues to be the best wife in television history, hands down. So real and calls her husband on his shit, but doesn't deny her love for him and I LOVE HER.

[ETA]: brandil says it better than me, and mentions all the stuff I didn't and SHOULD HAVE here.





HEROES aka: how much do I love Hiro? Thiiiiiiis much!

First, I re-watched an old Scrubs episode (the one where JD gets a journal with a unicorn on the cover, hahahahaha!) and Hiro is a radiologist on that ep. Second, Hiro and his best friend continue to be terrific. I loved that finally a dorky Asian man got some love interest on an American show. TAKE THAT, DIVERSITY POLICE. Which seems to be a force of one. One crazy person. Haha. Ahem. Second, I love that Heroes has a friggin' hot Indian guy that is a professor, has an Indian woman love interest (revealed on this ep). Again, see the "take that" line. Those are two groups whose men don't get the love they deserve on US TV. They can get all the love they want from me, rawr.

I was a little bugged by Hiro not getting that the waitress was "special" like him, however. BUT. We saw such a short period of time with them (and I loved the "Shining"-esque picture on the wall at the end!) that there will hopefully be a recognition of her power by Hiro. He's so invested in the "super powers" element, it almost seems OOC for him to not pick up on someone else with abilities. Just me? I like that there's a new "hero" with radiation powers. HOLY CRAP, that's dangerous! I hope they explain the science behind these powers one day. Or you know, sci-fi science. :D And I actually missed Nikki in this ep. I'm intrigued with her and with Forrest's character. (DL?) Last thing, am I the only one who is getting tired of the promo "save the cheerleader, save the world?" GOT IT. Now deliver. Also, short-haired-plot device isn't working for me. She hasn't since she showed up, honestly, so I hope they flesh that girl out a bit more. Figuratively and literally.





30 Rock

See, I don't hear about this on my flist, and it's making me sad. This show is what makes old school sitcoms great. Number one, it has a great cast. (Tina Fey needs to work on her delivery as a straight man a bit more - she's still looking like she's going to laugh at her own jokes, which doesn't work for a straight man.) Alec Baldwin is comic GOLD. He is so damn funny, I can barely contain my glee each week. Tracy Morgan plays the fool so well, and the PAGE! Oh, the studio page with his joy of television, of working, of being surrounded by people IN television... How Alec Baldwin says things like "In 5 years, we'll either be working for him.... or be dead by his hand." AHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, man. If anyone missed the ep with the poker game and Alec Baldwin doing a Hannibal Lector impression to fake out the Page (I can NOT think of his name, arrgh!), let me know and I'll upload it. And I could listen to that kid's Georgia lilt all day. Awwwwww!

The guy on the writing staff (Kevin?) with the slogan gimmie caps and the big glasses and sideburns? The gross one? But he's FUNNY. Anyone know what happened to Jane Krazowski? (sp?) WHATEVER, the show is great. I laugh every week, and that's enough for me. Old school sitcom that works, right there.

OH. AND STUDIO 60 COULD TAKE A PAGE OUT OF ITS BOOK re: sketch comedy. 30 Rock makes fun of sketches - makes them purposely bad, and that makes them FUNNY when they're happening in the background. But then again, I gave up on Studio 60 a few weeks back, and I don't miss it for a thing. Bah.

Whew. That was long. I have laundry to do and packing to commence, so INTERRUPT ME, PLEASE. I'm begging.

Comments

[slasheuse.livejournal.com]

She looks so much like Em in that first picture! God, your parents all had such pretty children (baby!blonde!Beth). That's a really cool story about you leaving the asshole first husband.

[brandil.livejournal.com]

TOTAL FLAILING OVER HERE STONEY OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

I had to hit capslock and I apologize.

We didn't have barn parties, we had FIELD parties.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HOGOD, isn't baby blonde Beth the most ADORABLE THING EVER??? And hee! I've never been told that Em looks like anyone in my fam, so I love that the first picture of Tiff looks like my kid, AWWWW!! SPeaking of good looking kids, Tiff has two BEAUTIFUL ones. (But I don't want to post pics of them without her permission.)

And yeah - her coming to get me was one of the great moments in my life. <3

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. I had to link to your post, because you said it better than me!! :D

(And we didn't have barn PARTIES, just beer barns: a drive through liquor shop, shaped to look like a barn? Car door service? You don't have those? Here in the city, we had those kind of parites in people's houses a la Sixteen Candles or in warehouse parking lots, which was dumb, because they always got busted by the cops. Where my ex grew up (central Tex.) it was in big ol' fields, like on the show.)

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

I forget how much Emily looks like you. Cuuuuuuuuute! And I know we've talked about Holly Hobby - I think I had 5 or 6 birthday cakes. Happy birthday, Tiffany!

This show is what makes old school sitcoms great. YES. The Alec Baldwiness of it all. Did you catch Tina Fey on the Daily Show? When she said, "And when you first started and I was doing Weekend Update and the media was all 'Jon Stewart - America's Best Fake News Anchor' and I was all like, well, I'm the only other fake news anchor - hey, America!" Heeeee!

I'm still behind on both Heroes and FNL, but I'm hoping to get caught up this weekend. Heroes/FNL - two shows with cheerleaders. Sweeeet.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Emily? Where's Emily? *looks closely*

And I MISSED THAT EP OF THE DAILY SHOW, WHAT?!?!? I must have fallen asleep because clearly I'm getting too old to stay up to Satan's Hours. I'll have to hunt that down, because I LOVE HER. (Did you see Alec on SNL? Holy shit, the man is so funny.)

YOU NEED TO CATCH UP. They are both made of kickass and greatness. With a side of "WHEEEE!" Not to be confused with a side of wee, which is wrong.

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Oh, sweet, the happy birthday message is just wonderful. Sisterhood, with all the Holly Hobby stuff, the clothes-snagging, the spats and the support -- it makes me tear up, so thank you for sharing that.

Happy Birthday to Tiffany -- all the best to her.

*hugs you*

skipping the tv stuff, because if you know me, you *know* I am behind liek woah on episodes of everything.

[brandil.livejournal.com]

We had car service at a couple of beer joints downtown. Drive up they come out, get your order, take your money, and bring it back. Of course, that was back in the day when drinking a beer and driving was the *in* thing to do.

I forgot to mention amidst all my fangirl squeal, that was a beautiful post about your sister.

[killabeez.livejournal.com]

Friday Night Lights -- word!! And thank you for all the Landry love. I adore him, too, and you made me very happy. I love all of them! *snuggles*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

yes yes, I put it with a long space after the sis stuff since I know you have catching up to do!

I just remembered the Holly Hobby pop-up playhouse this morning while typing it out. That picture of us - we're 4 and 5 - with our long knee-high red socks falling off our feet and our dorky grins is a great picture. I think Brenda has those pics, though. *sigh*

:)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Puh, no worries!

And that's essentially how a beer barn (party barn in Central Texas) works, you just drive through the building. Yeah - being in a car and picking up a case of beer, some smokes, jerky, and condoms. MOBILE PARTY. Hahahaha!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HOW GREAT IS LANDRY??? And you have a seriously awesome icon. I need to go on an icon hunt at some point and get a few more...

I loved reading your post, too. (And seriously. The slash almost writes itself.)

[slasheuse.livejournal.com]

She IS. She actually looks a lot like my little goddaughter did in the summer. Same expression, too. *grins* Re: Tiff/Em - She DOES, though - like, I can't pinpoint it, but there's just something about her nose and mouth. Sort of... the proportions of her face? She's got stronger features than Em, and she's taller and so on, but it made me think of Em immediately. *has picture of your girls on her WALL, glances up*

Where did you wait for the seven hours? My friend Paul told me his running-away story the other night; he was working in a hotel (estranged from family owing to his being a big, big gay) in the year he'd taken out between school and Oxford. The guy running the hotel was a total perv. Since it was Brighton, there was a pretty big gay community, and also lots of businessmen on conferences. Anyway, one of the businessmen was a (young) civil servant called Tim, who came down from London to stay at the hotel on business, repeatedly. He fell for Paul, and Paul liked him a lot too, only was pretty sure he'd turn out to be MARRIED, or something. However, they kept seeing each other, and liking each other.

Then, of course, the hotel-owner's perviness escalates. Paul has no rights, since he's not 18 and being paid out of the till (no NI or tax contributions). One night, the crunch came with the hotel-owner - you can probably fill in the details, ew.

Paul's first job every morning was to put the rubbish out for the binmen, in black plastic binliner bags. One morning shortly after the night of ew, he hauled the trash up to his room to hide it, then packed all his stuff into identical binliners, and told his boss he'd be back in a minute, he just had to put the rubbish out. So, he carries the "rubbish" out of the back of the hotel and down the path, RUNS all the way to the bus-stop, gets on a bus to Brighton station and gets the next train to London. Where he turned up on Tim's doorstep, who was delighted to see him!

It didn't work out, but it gave Paul the ten months of stability and love he needed to get back on track and get ready for Oxford. Plus, Tim helped him write a nice nasty letter to the hotel guy saying give me all the pay you owe me or I'll shop you for tax fraud. Everyone's a winner, basically!

[xochitl42.livejournal.com]

What great photos!

And this trip...is it the ski trip? I have never been snow-skiing...it sounds so incredibly fun, but I have a fear of breaking myself.

I'm sorry I haven't been as commenty--new workhabits as imposed by others, so my reading time is thusly reduced! :(

[aimeelicious]

posts like this really remind me of what it's like to be an only child...such fun to read about your relationship with her. also, you drop-dead GORGEOUS on that white dress, HELLO?? *leers inappropriately*

Heroes rocks, and I need to start watching FNL. I had a crazy Canadian visiting me and then I kind of got sucked into the reading the Anita Blake books and can't put them down omg.

[kultiras.livejournal.com]

The only reason I wasn't screaming for joy during Friday Night Lights was the fact that I live in a dorm room. But OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was totally shrieking on the inside, cheering on Tim, and Matt when he finally asked out Julie.

But no FNL next week!?!?!?!?!? NOOO!!!!!

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

Had to skip the FNL portion as I'm two eps behind! I don't know what's happened, but I'm all cued up for this afternoon..."30 Rock" is super - Alec Baldwin is such a likable dick, I start smiling as soon as he's on screen. His delivery is stellar. Kenneth, the page, is my favorite character, though. His guileless joy makes me happy, too. The scene where he's on his bike running errands for Tracey Gold, whee!

"Studio 60" is falling flat for me. The comedy sketches aren't funny, and I cringe every time I hear them pitch another. "Cheeses of Nazareth?" Cringe.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

OH SOPHIE!!! I just got back from the Post Office and I am SO DELIGHTED!!! I'm waiting for the kids to be home from school for proper squeeage, but I just BEAMED at the postman when he handed me a Royal Mail box!

More to come in two hours when Stonettes are home and we can SLATHER YOU WITH LOVE.

please also email me at nearest convenience with your Oxford address and an address for your parents. *cough*Holiday cheer*cough*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HI THERE!! *hugs you tight* Oh, no worries on commenting - I've been pretty scarce (for me) around here of late. :D

Yep, this is for the upcoming ski trip/family visit up in Utard. I won't be skiing for your same fears, but I hope to go snowshoeing, which is very fun and HARD work.

How have YOU been?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HI! I will say that siblings fight like none other, so there's that, but built in playmate! That was definitely the best part. We all have the same general sense of humor, too, which was fun on road trips. Heh.

OMG, catch up on FNL!! (If you need help doing that, email me.)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Man, I'm actually GLAD that there's no ep next week, because I'll be out of town, and would be behind! (omg dun keel me!)

And seriously. SERIOUSLY! HOW CAN ONE SHOW BE SO AWESOME???

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Studio 60 is dead to me. DEAD! Not even Matthew Perry could make it okay with such awkward/self-important writing, BAH.

AND I AM SO GLAD YOU LOVE 30 ROCK!! but heh - I think you mean Tracey Morgan? Hee hee!! ALthough, Tracey Gold would have been funnier. ALEC. The way he knows EVERYTHING about EVERYONE simply because of his background in marketing. KENNETH. Oh, Kenneth. "I like how the light picks up little sparkles and rainbows, like diamonds!" "They are diamonds, Kenneth."

YAY!! (And if you need help with FNL, lemme know. [/zomgsekret]

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHA, AWESOME. That's about what Tiff said on YOUR birthday shout out. "I wanna kick a shout out to my homedawg Ray Ray, to little Titus, to my baby daddy Big Ceasar, big ups to my boys that be down in tha Pen, whu whu!"

I LOVE ALL PICTURES OF YOU. Because I have so few. The baby!blonde!Beth pic that made Sophie tear up with the CUTENESS may be the best picture of a child EVER. Or is it the one with you on the plastic pink phone? I CAN NOT DECIDE.

My fingers have been busy, as has the rest of me! We're pulling out to Mormonville early Friday, and of course Mr. S is leaving all details up to me, BAH. So. Much. To. Do. TELL ME YOUR NEWS. Or lack there of. I wanna know.

[slasheuse.livejournal.com]

YAY!! Okay, for reference, and not to omgspoilers, but EMILY ASKED FOR WHAT'S IN THERE (one of the things. nobody's left out!), I DID NOT GO CRAZY. SHE ASKED FOR IT. It is not drugs.

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

Tracey Gold? Okay, I need to step away from all screens and take a walk in the 40 mph winds to clear my head! Then, my FNL fix. I have them, just haven't had time to watch. My husband keeps making me go out and see bands!

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Sister love! Sisters are the best. No one knows me better and I have the scars to prove it.

I think Hiro was a bit gun shy around waitress girl because of what happened with Nathan. I hope he can save her, I liked her.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Heeeee! It made me laugh pretty hard. Bands? Well, as long as it's not K-Fed or Aaron Carter/Ashleeee Simpson reunion tour, that's a pretty fair trade! :D

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Heh - you could be right with Hiro. And I can't IMAGINE them not allowing him to save her. Such a useful power, plus, she's all into our Hero, Hiro. :D

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, your tats are AWESOME. And where did you get that picture of you at Uncle Mark's? (That's a pony - they raised quarter horses, ponies, and Shetlands) That's SO CUTE, omg.

OH. Oh. Bart? Uncle Barrett's boxer? Has lymphoma and has less than amonth to live, apparently. WAAAAH! He's very very sad, so you might call or email? Poor Bart. Such a sweet doggie.

(There are going to be almost 20 kids there, holy shit.)

[kultiras.livejournal.com]

lol. I won't kill you. Do you know if the show is going on hiatus in December?

And this show is amazing beyond all reason!!!!!!!!!

[xochitl42.livejournal.com]

[[squeeep!}} :D

"Utard!" Hee.

I am teh tired. So tired I actually used "teh." Four straight days of sword work (I practice an obscure Japanese martial art), and then taking our guest instructor (straight from Japan!) out on the town every night.

My legs, as they say, are tofu.

It's been a long month, actually...I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving for a bit of a break. You?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

WOW. Sword work! That sounds amazing, and I'm sure the discipline it takes to master something like that is beyond me. Too cool!! But entertaining people is hard work, too! *sends you to a day spa*

I'm VERY MUCH looking forward to this break. I need a vacation like nobody's business! Lots of places for little bodies to play, grownup conversation, someone else's home... CAN. NOT. WAIT! Oh yeah. And FOOOOOOD!

[thepiratequeen.livejournal.com]

You three all look so pretty in the last picture! And you have that "looking different while still being obviously related" thing going on.

My first bedroom had Holly Hobbie wallpaper that my grandfather put up for me and when that room became my dad's office and the wallpaper came down I cried the entire day. I will not mention that I was 17 when the wallpaper came down

I'm usually not home on Wednesday nights or I'd be all over 30 Rock.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HI CHRISTIE! While we all have different coloring, when we start talking and gesturing, you can DEFINITELY tell we're sisters. And Beth and Tiff have the SAME VOICE. If I didn't have caller ID, I'd never know who was calling me.

HOLLY HOBBY WALLPAPER! That was just so huge when I was a little girl. I don't think I have anything left. Oh, poor you. :(

OH! Good news: 30 Rock is now coming on after The Office on Thursdays! (Can you dl 175 MB files? I have ep 3, 4 and 5 on my computer and can YSI them to you, if so?)

[thepiratequeen.livejournal.com]

HI LAURA!! Sisters are awesome like that. The closest I have is my cousin who is 10 months older and according to my grandmother sounds just like me on the phone. Thankfully my brother and I don't have the same voice as that would be strange.

I found a Holly Hobbie throw blanket in a thrift shop a few years ago and it stays at the foot of my bed. My doll is in a box somewhere and I saved a strip of the wallpaper.

Yay! That will make things much easier for me to watch it. (I can. Email is csdavis27 at gmail dot com. You rock!)

[anelith.livejournal.com]

What a great birthday present for a sister to get! Although I do have a sister now, I don't really *feel* it due to the huge age difference. Also the huge geographic distance! I kinda envy you...

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

The age difference is hard, isn't it? My youngest brother and sister are far younger than me (the youngest was born my senior year in high school, not to mention she's a non-verbal autistic, so... Yeah. There's distance. *g*)

Aww! I'll be your pretend sis! :D

[anelith.livejournal.com]

My pretend sis!

<3<3<3

*HUGS*

*sniff*

[beadbeauty.livejournal.com]

Holy crap.

I am bawling. What are you doing> YOU KNOW I DON"T CRY! I WILL RACK YOU! I was laughing and crying reading this. How awesome. I wonder what Brett is up to? He probably thinks I'm a roller derby queen. All the better. And I have to admit I felt a tinge of seething reading about you stealing my clothes. Then I'd make it home from school and it would be folded and put away and you denying that you ever had it on. There were times I'd question my sanity.

I love you for everything you wrote. Wow. Thank you so much. That was the best present ever. Better than Fronch Fries. Fronch Dip, and to drink Peru!

No worries about my present getting here Friday. We didn't even do anything today- the party is Saturday so technically, it will arrive on 'Tiff Eve'. Plus, this was WAY better than anything you could send me. Thanks.

<-- oh my god, I'm kissing you!!! *waits for you to call me a lez*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Ew. Em. Gee. Dun rack my nuts. BRETT. I bet he's a "Youth Minister." Perfect way to channel all of his past aggression into bullying people into Younglife ski trips for Jesus.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU ARE STILL MAD ABOUT ME BORROWING YOUR CLOTHES. Ahahahaha!!! Stealing. Heee! I also sold them for drugs, Tiff. FOR DRUGS. But seriously: those black Esprit pants? They were the BEST PANTS EVER. (And it's not like Brenda was buying me clothes - I had to rely on ze beeg seester weeth the yob.)

And oooh, your icon is pretty! Whatever. Like I'm going to call and cancel your present. No way, Josie. HAVE FUN AT YOUR PARTY!!

WooHoo! with the Holly Hobby

[chantal87.livejournal.com]

I swear there are times when I think we lived a parallel childhoods. My sister and I also wore Holly Hobby dresses with red knee socks. We also had the Holly Hobby House.
The proof is in the pictures.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/chantal87/hollyhobbyclothes.jpg
and
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/chantal87/hollyhobbyhouse.jpg

Those were the days. I think these were taken in 1977. Yep......29 years ago. I'm feeling a little old today.

Re: WooHoo! with the Holly Hobby

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Product of the 70s, babe. Product of the 70s. :D And you and lil' sis are SO CUTE!! Those hairdos - reverse them and that's Tiff and I. (Me with the short, her with the long.) My sister dooki put up the infamous Easter pic where I have a wedge (DOrothy Hammill) with back-combed wings that could carry away a school bus. :)

[beadattitude.livejournal.com]

OMG, Alec Baldwin doing the Hannibal Lector imitation, "You're nuthin' but a pig farmer's boy...." GOLD. I was killing myself laughing. And the page Kenneth? Looks exactly like a boy I used to date. Exactly. It's scary.

What do you mean, what happened to Jane?

Studio 60 stresses me out, man. It keeps wanting to make me proud to be an American or something, and it's a f'ing dramedy. OY.

[beadattitude.livejournal.com]

Okay, and now? Just read the entry about Tiff. She's awesome, man. ::sniffles::

Can you guys adopt me?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Alec Baldwin is gold. GOLD!! And I meant that Jane hadn't been on any episodes since the yacht one, and OF COURSE that means she's in the episode the day I wonder where she is. :D

And Studio 60 stresses you out because it's fooling you into thinking it has any importance, all while sucking the life out of you with it's unimportance. I hate that show, truth be told.

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

Hey! I just wanted to say I just happened on 30 Rock tonight and I couldn't believe how good it was or, like you say, that people hadn't been talking about it. I came right over here because I bet if it was a good show about sketch comedy then you would be watching it and sure enough!

And. . .there's a poker game? Alec Baldwin playing poker? I'm sort of a geek over card game scenes.

I'm attempting to download the pilot now.

In conclusion, yay.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you've caught up with all the eps now, but the poker game is ep 3. AND IT HAS AN HOMAGE TO SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Basically, it's perfection.

I have NO idea why people are watching a crap fest like "How I Met Your Mother" and not this show. This show is almost PERFECT.

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

Hee, so funny you mentioned SoTL, because I just made this (in honor my and Tina's and Clarice's alma mater).

I don't remember catching the reference in the episode, though that could be because I watched it LATE last night -- I still have a couple to go, but yes, it continues to be awesome.

Somebody's out there writing Tracy/Lemon aren't they? Or Tracy/GOB?
