If you are seeing this post, then you are no longer reading the correct Snackie's World blog! When I changed my site over last month, the feed also changed....so please take the time to update your readers by either:
1. Following THIS URL
2. Manually copying and pasting this link into your feed properties (http://feeds.feedburner.com/snackiepoo/)
And remember, the correct site URL is: www.snackiepoo.com
Kisses,
Hilly
Most of you should have had a seamless transfer to the new WordPress version of Snackie's World...erm, in fact those that did probably won't see this!
However...some of you have been around a long time.
You probably still have the snackiepoo.typepad.com URL on your blogroll and the old feed in your feedreader because you never changed it back when I went all "domain" on your ass!
So here is what you need to know....
1.) My site's official URL is: www.snackiepoo.com
2.) The proper feed to use in your readers is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/snackiepoo
Pretty much every link is broken here...so yeah, gonna self-destruct soon. So...ditch this zero and get with the hero...see you over there!
One Last Kiss,
Hilly
So I am stealing this from just about everyone! I know you may be thinking, "this lazy bitch can't even post something real?". Just so you know, this stinking meme took a lot of work, especially being sick and all (quick, cue the violins!). Anyway, the real reason for doing it, besides laziness and actually liking it, is that I have no idea what the state of my blog will be this weekend. Will it go down, will it go up? (TWKS). So this is a good place to pause, methinks.
The concept:
1. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
2. Using only the first page of results, pick one image.
3. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into Big Huge Lab’s Mosaic Maker to create a mosaic of the picture answers.
The questions:
1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food? right now?
3. What high school did you go to?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. What is your favorite drink?
7. What is your dream vacation?
8. What is your favorite dessert?
9. What do you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. What is one word that describes you?
12. What is your flickr name?
Freaky Friday Kisses,
Me
We can't keep on like this. Clearly one of us is more in love than the other and it's just not fair anymore. I've tried to be patient; I've tried to understand your ever changing tides; I even ignored it when you overhauled your whole being (and therefore mine) without even telling me about it. I've remained faithful no matter how hard it was not to stray. We all know that I'm easily distracted by shiny things but I stayed loyal because that's the kind of girl I am.
While we're at it, let's not even talk about how my friends feel about you. It's not that they hate you or even truly dislike you. In fact you've been called "cute" and "reliable". It's just that they know that there is so much more for me out there and they want me to have something better and all that goes with it. They know that I've been "settling" and as a result, no one's needs are getting met. Sorry to be blunt but....you're not good enough, smart enough and gosh darn it, people don't like you.
I remember trying to leave you once before. It's like you put a hex on me that completely made me think that I was too dumb to know any better. You put me down just to pick me back up and that's just not okay. But when I realized that I'm just not that into you anymore, the choice was easy. Sure, I was worried that you'd be hurt because I know you still love me more than words yet I now remain ambivalent. I've decided to go...my bags are packed and I have someone who is willing to pick me up and drive me to my new destination.
There may be blankness for a few days as I switch my life and things might get a little messed up around here, but that's how it always is. The best things in life often stem from the messiest situations...you just have to find the fortitude to make it through to the other side. And I'm willing to take that chance. I'm willing to close my eyes and just....jump.
So with this note, I bid you adieu, my once beloved TypePad. It's been a real gas! I've learned a lot from you but I honestly believe that I've outgrown our relationship. I need something more and my new guy, WordPress, seems like he has exactly what I'm looking for. So while I'm a bit freaked out about leaving the tool I know, there's always excitement in finding a bigger and better tool with which to spend my lonely days and nights.
Now if you'll please give me back my $14.95 per month. That's right...just leave it on the dresser as you walk out the door. I'll be walking the other way and never looking back.
Sincerely,
Hilly, Who Finally Will Be Rocking WordPress
How funny. I was going to start my blog post off with "this person may not blog every other day, but when she does, it's pure magic!". However, after carefully stalking her studying her blog in order to make this post, I realized that she *does* actually blog almost every other day (if not more) and that her stuff is so damned good that it just doesn't *seem* like it. The thing about this blogger is that she can turn an every day life sort of moment into a grand adventure and leave you wanting to be right there with her in her world of awesomeness.
I'm not sure why I waited this long to make this woman a Blogger of the Month. Maybe I did not want to seem like a supreme kiss ass before TequilaCon. Maybe it's just because I was letting the boys play rampant in the yard. But whatever it was, it's time to bring the "supercool chick solidarity" back, now with minty fresh flavor. So you may ask yourselves (or not...in fact, probably not), what makes someone Hilly's Blogger of the Month? Well, there are no prerequisites. It's either about content, design or a mixture of the two. But this time, it's about so much more....
The thing about being a "personal blogger" is that I open myself up to all kinds of shit that I wouldn't have to deal with if I could just learn how to be funny and start a humor blog. Were I a "humor blogger", I could talk about the various things I'd do when my pants fell down and my privates were exposed...what a laugh we'd all have! Instead, my exposure is a little more deep, displaying my guts as if I were a cartoon character behind an xray machine that yanno...actually showed guts. Don't get me wrong....I'm not sitting here with a whiny voice in my head as I write this post. Quite the contrary, actually. It's with a pretty thick skin that I sit here knowing that someone, somewhere, is going to read this and roll their eyes because rather than actually seeing my words, they'll summarize and miss the bigger picture. It's just that sometimes I wish it didn't have to be like that.
Hell, I put the microscope up for you to look through every day so it's not like I can sit here and deny any culpability for the way I'm feeling right now. When I'm having a bad day, you hear about it. When I'm feeling sad, you hear about it. Fat, unloved, scared, confused, lonely, marriage problems, family problems, money problems....you hear about them all. But you see...that is what my blog is here for. It's a place where I can come when all other options have been exacerbated. It's the place where I can let it all hang out. And when all is said and done, it's my place.
I think one of the truest yet saddest things about human nature is that we are drawn to the negative, especially when we are dissecting someone else's words. Hell, sometimes it is so much easier for me to relate to a post where someone else feels lost and scared than it is to one where the writer's life is a bowl of fucking cherries. I mean, of course I'm always completely thrilled for people when their lives are that great, but can I relate? Not right now. Not today. But hey...maybe soon. In the meantime, I write about what I do know and/or what I am going through. This isn't the best period of my life but it sure as hell isn't the worst either. So I navel-gaze and talk about the same emotional issues a lot. Well duh....of course I am going to do that because I am working through them and as I do that, things spill from my heart out onto the page. That's just the way it is, baby.
I also think that one of the truest yet saddest things about human nature is that we tend to judge people who are so happy that they sparkle by calling them egotistical or something just as mean. First of all, anyone who blogs is a bit egotistical. You have to have narcissistic tendencies if you really believe that people want to read and comment on the shit you write every day. Hey, not that there's anything wrong with that, but you know what I am saying. So there will be times when I shine. In those times, I get silly and take pictures of myself sucking on popsicles or sometimes even worse. It doesn't mean that I need your attention but maybe it means that I want it. And you know what? That's okay too! When people are in a really great place and feel like the world around them just glows with love and magic, they want to draw others in so that everyone can feel alive together. There should be no apologies made for loving yourself that much, even if it is only for a moment or two.
So my point is...wait, do I have one? Oh yes, right...for those of you that guessed there was trickery or an underlying theme on my Snackie Sunday post, there wasn't. I was actually just curious as to what words people would use when very limited. What fascinated me was seeing how some people used very broad terms to describe themselves and me while others pinpointed one aspect of their personalties and sadly, mine as well. I've got no real opinion on that other than the fact that it intrigued me enough to make my mind wander all over the place. The end result? This post. The post that means everything yet nothing at all.
Yummy S'Mores Kisses,
Me
Tonight, Snackie Radio was blessed with the presence of the oh-so-delicious Vahid from Iron Fist. Despite a small technical issue and distraction in the beginning, it was still a fabulous show! I was like "DJ Funky Hillylicious" for a second but thankfully the men talked me through it and all ended up well, yay! I have to say a huge thank you to Vahid for doing "pantless radio" with me while fielding crazy-assed random questions, not only from listeners but also from your truly. I'd give you keywords but we really were all over the place!
As usual, I am adding the player to this post but there are many other ways that you can enjoy Snackie Radio. The best way is to listen live, however since the whole world does not seem to revolve around me, you can also go here to listen to or download the show. You can ALSO sign up for the Snackie Radio RSS feed and each show will dump into your feed reader each week. There's also a way to make it feed directly to your iTunes! All you have to do is search for "Snackie Radio" in the iTunes Podcast Directory then hit "subscribe"!
Also, here is a look at what's coming up! You really need to sign up to guest host with me! I promise that I can be gentle when necessary, or yanno...the other thing if that's what makes your socks go up and down.
