Rule #101 of Being a Lady

Imperfection is beauty.
Madness is genius. 
It is better to be absolutely RIDICULOUS than absolutely boring. 


The Rule of Ladies

Battle of Evermore

There have been lots of questions as to "why on EARTH do you want to play the mandolin?!"

This is my answer to that question.....


And for the purists out there....

Play me a tune

This is no shortage of musical instruments in my family. There are acoustic guitars, electric guitars, trumpets, a violin, a didgeridoo, banjo and even a dulcimer. And next week, we'll be receiving a new addition--a mandolin. It's an instrument I have always loved listening to and can't wait to start playing my own.

Random Notes

• I could eat Spageti-O's with meatballs everyday and be ok with it.
• I am a TERRIBLE housekeeper. I won't do my dishes until I've run completely out of clean silver. The same holds true for laundry sometimes. If there are still clean underwear in the drawer, theres not need to do a load!
• I'd like to be one of those people who fosters dogs before they are able to be put up for adoption
• Going to concerts guarantees me a two hour block of time when I don't have to worry about the shit going on in my life.
• I get sad when I think that the dreams I had for myself when I was 13 will never come true.
• I'm fairly certain the reason I have not finished my degree is because it means I'm officially an adult.
• Mushrooms are the best pizza topping EVER!
• I don't have my shit together nearly as much as people think I do.
• There are only a handful of people who understand how important music is to me.
• One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't take my piano lessons as a kid more serious.
• Some day I'd like to travel to Greece.
• I'm still annoyed with myself for throwing away my green tennis shoes. I've been mourning their loss since 2000.
• I'm still hung up on the same guy since I was sixteen. I still giggle a little when I see him.
• In my next life, I would like to have a job writing really bad screenplays.
• Chances are, my beliefs will not match your beliefs. I will never tell you that what you believe is wrong and I would ask that you extend me the same respect.
• I am in awe of people who dedicate their lives to learning and researching ONE thing (those crazy historians blow my mind).
• I think the story behind Dracula is fascinating.
• I think it is fascinating that two people can listen to the same sound and have two totally different reactions to it.
• I'm afraid if I am totally honest with people about who I am, I'll have fewer friends.

I Can't Wait

This song is just cheese enough to make it to the top of my playlist.
