question and answer...

Guess what today is blog-pals?! It is, 'The Book of Questions' post time! Hmmm...I suppose you could have deduced that from the title of the post but...it was more fun for me announcing it like a game show host. Alright, since I have some new 'People who win at life and read my blog!', or as Blogger calls you 'Followers', here is a little background on these posts. Clickity click here and here...here...here and last but not least...nevermind if you do not get the point after all of that clicking then I just do not know what to tell you! Meh...anyway...drumroll as I flip through the book and question #42 COME. ON. DOOOWWWN.

Question #42: How would you react if you were to learn that your mate had a lover of the same sex before you knew each other?

Answer: Okay so I seriously considered cheating and flipping to a different question because I like to keep this blog as un-hostile as possible but that would be breaking the rules and that is not going to happen on this here blog!

Here is the deal. I am all about equal rights and I have zero issue with gay men or women! Honest! I feel very strongly that love is love no matter if the people in love are two men, a man and a woman, or two women...it is all the same to me! I am a strong proponent of legalizing gay marriage and I even took to the streets to protest Proposition 8 in California...

if you are wondering if this is my lesbian lover...it's not. it's real-life pal Jil. also if you are wondering if people saw us on the local news protesting and thought we were a couple...a few people did...

With that all being said...I would SO not be cool knowing that a man I was involved with had been with a man at some point in his life. Sorry! I am all about people doing what they please, experiment if you want but I am a jealous kinda gal and have hard enough of a time worrying about other women...that I would lose my mind if I had to worry about other women AND other men. That is far too much for my jealous little heart to take!

The question asked how I would react? I would ace right outta that relationship with the quickness! (Although the whole Jake/Heath scene in 'Brokeback Mountain' was the definition of hottness...and now that I am thinking about that I am rethinking my opinion, ha!) Just sayin'...

oh the hottness...I cannot believe I forgot Jake on my hottness monster list...

This is my 'Let's Keep This Blog Un-hostile' disclaimer. This is my blog and expresses MY views. I happen to be pro-equality. I however, do not judge or hate those who do not agree with me. So please do not judge or hate on me for my views! You are entitled AND invited to share your thoughts and opinions anytime as long as you respect mine. Deal? Deal!

So...your turn! How would YOU feel about your mate having been involved in a same-sex relationship pre-you? Is that awesomesauce? Or is it a deal breaker?

my first ever blog award...

I have received my first blog award. I am super excited about it...and it is all thanks to the absolutely hilarious Maya over at 'Straitjackets Are Slimming'. Her blog makes me come thisclose to peeing my pants from laughter every time I read it...and she is one honest lady (which I love!).

The Honest Scrap Award comes with a few rules…I have to divulge 10 honest things about myself. Then I have to pass the award on to 7 bloggers that I adore...and who I believe will be 100% truthful!

Everyone likes to say that they 'admire' honesty. I have found that the majority of the time this is not true. I however, do love it. Alright let the honesty commence (I am totally ashamed of some of these) ...

1. I am a bleeding heart liberal. I voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 election. I also voted for George W. Bush in the 2004 election.

2. I re-read the Harry Potter Series every summer. I have read each book over ten times.

3. I find Bill Maher to be incredibly sexy. I am probably the only person who thinks this.

4. I don't want children. I also have no desire to get married. I sometimes feel that those two facts make me a bad person.

5. I have never had my hair dyed. Ever.

6. I judge anyone who wears a hair scrunchie. For real. If I see you rocking one I will automatically assume you have zero fashion sense.

7. I am watching 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' as I type this post.

8. I am a hypochondriac. If you even suggest an illness within a minute I will have convinced myself that I have it. True story.

9. I would never date someone who was younger than me. Or shorter than me.

10. I have an obsession with designer sunglasses. I also examine peoples eye wear to see what brand it is.

There you have it. 10 completely honest facts all about yours truly. Hopefully you all still like me after some of my admissions!

Now it is time for me to invite 7 bloggy pals to receive The Honest Scrap Award. I choose...

Amy from 'My LaLa Land'

Kimberly from 'William & Kimberly'

Allison from 'A Bite of Allison'

Amanda from 'Amanda's Musings'

Ivy from 'Inspirations by Ivy'

Lauren from 'Thats What She Said...'

Vanessa from 'Caramel Covered Photographs'

Ok ladies now it is YOUR turn! All of the 7 I picked will hopefully post their own 10 things on their blog and pass the award along to others! Also, I could only choose 7 people...but I wish I could have picked ALL of you. So, please feel free to comment with at least ONE honest thing about yourself!

always alexandria's official hottness monster list...

Last evening on Twitter was super fun times (yes, I did swear I would never have a Twitter...obviously I lied. and now I am addicted). Some of my favy Twitter/blog pals and I were bored out of our minds...so I enlisted their assistance of compiling the first ever, 'Always Alexandria's Official Hottness Monster List'. Thanks ladies for all of your fabulous input.

And now...for the monsters of hottness...

(these are in no specific order)...

Hottness Monster #1:

Puck from 'Glee'. I have yet to watch 'Glee' (I am working on it people!) however Kristin and Amy believed he should be on my list. I also believe my real-life bff Jil believes he is foxy as well...and in this picture he looks yummy...

Hottness Monster #2-for-the-price-of-one:

Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder are two of the sexiest men on television these days. Personally, I think Damon is hotter than Stefan but...I would be happy with either/or...

Hottness Monster #3:

David Beckham was a suggestion from AshtonDene...and if you really need an explanation as to why he is on this list...well ask me and then I will give you an explanation...

Hottness Monster #4:Michael C. Hall is the sexiest serial killer I have ever seen. I love him bad. Although, a lot of his hottness is his voice...his face is not too shabby either...

Hottness Monster #5:

Angelina Jolie is the only female to make my list...why? Um...because I have a giant girl-crush on her. She is the definition of gorgeous...and if you call her a homewrecker I will climb through the computer and kick you...for real...(yes, Jil I am talking to YOU)...

Hottness Monster #6:Jim Sturgess was a giant hit with most of the ladies. Lauren and ViennalsWaiting were especially enthusiastic over this choice, and real-life pal Jil is in love with him also. Jim is a super-fox and I love him. He can sing. He has a British accent. He has hot sex hair. As stated last night Jim can cross my anything anytime he wants to. Watch 'Across the Universe' and you will love him...

Hottness Monster #7:Anderson Cooper. The Silver Fox. My Future Gay Husband. He makes watching the news a whole 'lotta fun. Um. Hi...those baby blues are swoon-worthy...

Hottness Monster #8:Robert-freaking-Pattinson. So, I know I said these hottness monsters were in no specific order...but if you have been paying attention to my blog at all you will know the love I have for Rob. It is borderline creepy stalker obsession...I mean seriously?! It should be criminal to look like he does...mirror mirror on the wall HE is the foxiest of them all...

There it is. It is official. Once more thanks to all my fabulous blog pals for your help and input! Alright, do you agree with the list? Did I leave someone out? Let me know!!

Oh, and in case you didn't notice I now have a button. It is super cute so grab one if you would like! Thanks to the Always Amazing Amy (boo-yah! check out that insane alliteration!)!

surprise...suprise...

So a few posts ago I mentioned some super, secrety, plans of awesome-ness that I had been working on...does anyone want to know what they are?

Okay...prepare yourselves....are you prepared? Okay now I feel like I have built it up to much and you will be disappointed so please adjust your expectations....adjusted? Good. Now clickity click right here!

Look around...check it out...you can comment here or on the new blog if you have any questions/comments/or super helpful feedback!

One thing I want to ask...how many of you are offended by the name? We think it is funny...but that is just our sense of humor! If you think it is ridiculous...don't be shy...do tell!

xoxo,

Alexandria

observations and a confession...

Can I just say how much I love all my blog friends. I especially love that you are all just as odd as I am. Thanks everyone who commented and shared their weirdness...all of you get to come to Disneyland with Rob and myself!

This is round #2 of my observations. For round #1 check this out. Let's begin shall we?

Observation #1:

so who knows what these are? prize to whoever gets it first! no one? really? hmm...okay they are 'jeggings'. go ahead and take a few minutes to think on that. 'jeggings'...as in JEAN leggings. as in people wear these as pants. as in the most heinous thing I have ever seen in my life. truth.

Observation #2:

I am sure all of you have witnessed the 'man bangs' that are running around on the heads of hottness as of late. By as of late, I mean for like the last two years. It has always annoyed me...but I figured it would go away in time...two years later the phenomenon is bigger than ever. Today alone, in a ten minute walk across campus...I counted 15 sets of man bangs. 15!?! I just want to run up to them and brush the hair out of their faces and scream, "Get your hair OUT of your eyes!" But if I did I would probably get arrested. That would not be awesome.

*I am not hating on Chace Crawford...this was just funny...please do not attack. thank you!*

Observation #3:

smoking is gross. like beyond gross. there is only one instance where it is not gross...witness

when he smokes it is hottness. other than that sicknast to the extreme. okay before you all tell me that it is a free country and you have a right to smoke...I realize that...BUT please do not be so lassez faire and inconsiderate about it. I do not want to inhale a lungful of toxic chemicals when I am walking down the street behind you...or when I am walking past you...or when you are standing 5 feet away from the door of the restaurant/store/class that I just walked out of. thankyouverymuch!

Observation #4:

This one is an observation about myself. I am so not stealth when it comes to checking out the fellas...I don't have a sneaky code to hip my gal pals to the fact that there is a hottness monster at 2 o'clock. Nope. Would you like to know what I do? I say...loudly..."OMG did you see him?! He is a stone cold fox." After I say this Jil runs and hides because she is mortified by my volume level and obvious staring. It. Is. Awesome.

The-not-really-a-confession-confession...actually it is more of a statement:

This statement is for the always adorable Connie (Seriously, have you all been to her blog? She is an absolute doll!) and I guess technically it is more of a statement for Connie's hubby-man Tony. Hi, Tony...so I have been thinking about this for a long time and have finally come to a decision.

This right here is the best 'My Little Pony'...

and this right here...is the best 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle'. Michelangelo lovers represent. That is all.

Okay now its YOUR turn. Comment with your own observations. Or comment and fight with me if you think mine are crazy...c'mon it will be a parrrr-tay! xoxo
