Holly Daze....

:-(

So I've determined that I will not win this battle.  No matter how hard I try, I will never fit in with my family. They will just never accept me... and God Bless my mother for pretending to like my cheeseball... and my sister for quite literally taking ALL of my bread pudding and storing it away in her refrigerator... only to throw it away later when I'm not looking (all to spare my feelings) I appreciate it but I hate that it has to be that way.  

I really wish for just ONCE that we could all get together for a holiday and enjoy spending time with each other and no one act like an ASS or anything.  I know this can't be too much to ask for. 

So with the current situation of my life which would be... single parent, no prospective future plans for building on that lack of relationship, no significant reason to think that I will ever grow a larger family or adopt one... or marry into one, and my family doesn't really care if I'm there or not... I think I'll just boycott holidays.  I don't need the stress anymore.  I mean it's not a big deal anyway... I only have the opportunity to be with my child every other holiday anyway and NEXT year is my sucky holiday schedule so it'll be the perfect opportunity to start NOT doing anything.

Christmas 2009 is supposed to be at my house. Which is would normally be really fun to me... but considering.... I'm wavering between ordering pizza and just making everything from a box.. which is what they seem to prefer anyway.

(10-17 points) You are MADONNA:


You are wild and crazy and you know it. You know how to have fun, but you may take it to extremes. You know what you are doing though, and are much in control of your own life . People don't always see things your way, but that doesn't mean that you should do away with your beliefs. Try to remember that your wild spirit can lead to hurting yourself and others.



(18-26 points) You are DORIS DAY:


You are fun, friendly, and popular! You are a real crowd pleaser. You have probably been out on the town your share of times, yet you come home with the values that your mother taught you. Marriage and children are very important to you, but only after you have fun. Don't let the people you please influence you to stray.




(27-34 points) You are DEBBIE REYNOLDS :


You are cute, and everyone loves you. You are a best friend that no one takes the chance of losing. You never hurt feelings and seldom have your own feelings hurt. Life is a breeze. You are witty, and calm most of the time. Just keep clear of back stabbers, and you are worry-free.




(35-42 points) You are GRACE KELLY:


You are a lover. Romance, flowers, and wine are all you need to enjoy yourself. You are serious about all commitments and are a family person. You call your Mom every Sunday, and never forget a Birthday.. Don't let your passion for romance get confused with the real thing.




(43-50 points) You are KATHERINE HEPBURN:


You are smart, a real thinker. Every situation is approached with a plan. You are very healthy in mind and body. You don't take crap from anyone. You have only a couple of individuals that you consider 'real friends'. You teach strong family values. Keep your feet planted in them, but don't overlook a bad situation when it does happen.




(51-60 points) You are ELI ZABETH TAYLOR:


Everyone is in awe of you. You know what you want and how to get it. You have more friends than you know what to do with. Your word is your bond.. Everyone knows when you say something it is money in the bank. You attract the opposite sex. Your intelligence overwhelms most. Your memory is the next thing to photographic. Everyone admires you because you are so considerate and lovable. You know how to enjoy life and treat people right.


*sorry if you don't like the photos selected... it's what i like!*

olie olie oxen freeeeeeeee



I went to buy more tea today. I most certainly love my tea.  As I was driving back to work I began to ponder things.  One... how much I love the west side of town. I enjoy its shops, entertainment, recreation, the whole area is just "me".   Yes, I am a Westside girl. So I began to make some tenative decisions about my life. It is a known fact that MLJMT will not always be under my roof and at that time (or soon after his graduation) I plan to move to the West side. I would like to buy an older home... a cottage type...


With a cute yard and a beautiful, natural rock exterior.  Something like this home, built in the mid 1940's.  I would enjoy sitting on the porch and drinking my tea and watching birds and squirrels.


I would have a place for my plants to grow... and be able to decorate delicately and enjoy the real hardwood floors and the moldings in the house.



I would also like to have one of these....


In here:


I think it would be nice to spend time out on my patio with my 'cats'... because my 'cats' would love me no matter what... and they would play together in the grass.



Seriously though... who needs a man? I can see myself being quite happy with those two cats and that cozy little house (2223sq ft of cozy).  Oh, man... I can not wait!
I can't deny my future... or this face...

It's the Law!

So a friend of mine sent me a picture (via email) as a peace offering for something she had said. Unfortunately it was of some buff chick and i was apalled. I mean, seriously... I know that I haven't been able to "label" anything in my life as a relationship in pretty close to a year but gosh... I'm still in to DUDE's!! Which is basically what I responded to her. So a few minutes later she sent this pic with the caption... EYE CANDY...  and I laughed.

I laughed for one reason... and one reason alone.  Because this picture took me back.  About 3 or 4 years ago to when me and "G-money" were dating...  I had been emailing a friend of mine and we were discussing her facsination with Jude Law and I mentioned that I had a friend that kinda, sorta, almost looked like him (no names will be revealed) and I then found a picture of JL online, saved it to my computer (in the folder that also had pictures of this un-named friend) and proceeded to send both of them to her in an email... We nodded simultaneously through cyber-space and both agreed that there was a tiny resemblance.  With that, the conversation and the need for that picture of JL was over.  BUT as fate may hold it... I neglected to delete the photo out of my personal pictures and thus the stage was set for an all out WAR with my then boyfriend....
I was at work and for some reason (God remind me) he was at my house alone- no biggie.  Until I recieved the first of many text messages referring to my internet cache and the saved photo...  Because of course to find a photo that matched one I already had of my friend I had to do a search. (which was recorded in my history) The first message was something like, "So, I found it on your computer!".   ok...   I'll take the bait...  "what?".    "The picture of the guy you like THAT'S NOT ME!"...   "oh yeah, who?"......    "Why don't you tell me?".   *puzzled face*...  "I'm not sure, shed some light please?"....  "Don't deny it, YOU like Jude Law!"... (obviously I think we are joking at this point) so I continue...  "ohhhh baby, you know it... he really gets me going!" (worst mistake ever!!!) G-money continues... and to make it worse...   "I know you've been 'sl**ping with (insert friends name here) because he looks like Jude Law, admit it!"......  OHHhhhh... (shocked face),   "nope, that's a big N-O my friend..."
Well, this fight continues until I got home that afternoon where I find that not only is he serious but he is really mad at me... and I'm sorry to be horrible about this, but I found it absolutely hilarious!
To this day (if we were actually talking anymore) he would most likely bring it up in conversation! Sad I know.... and to think I almost married that one...  so much for honesty and love.

Speaking of marriages... I have more pics to add to the burgeoning collection of my fake wedding plans...  it's time for flowers:





I love the curly and whispy look of the first picture, like the stars in the second... the red in the third and ... just the simply elegance of the third... so I guess it will be cream flowers!

This wedding is shaping up quite nicely!  hahaha.

Love Your Soul

My tea told me what my blog title was for today.  I have the coolest tea from the Whole Foods Store and on each tea bag there is a little heart felt message... Today it was: Love Your Soul. I saved the tag!

Well, well, well... here we go again. I had a great weekend even though it was strange to say the least.  Saturday I met Jessica at Ghengi's Grill and we were fortunate enough to have Chayne (AKA Ryan Gossling ) as our waiter.  We enjoy going there to see him... MLJMT went with us and he even mentioned that he could tell we liked looking at him... haha Awwwwkwwwward!

Later that afternoon I had a wedding to attend.  It was for a good friend of mine that I've known for years. Unfortunately my ex Douchebag has also known her for years. I got there first and was seated on the Bride's side with MLJMT beside another friend that I haven't seen in a long time.  When all of a sudden the ex and his lady friend show up at my pew and plop a squat right beside us.  During the time preceding the ceremony I happen to notice that they are wearing RINGS.. aha!  So, quite be accident I noticed that he and she have gotten married and didn't even tell MLJMT.  So again it was up to me to break the news... kinda like the time when I had to tell him... "hey, guess what? Your dad has a new baby... you have a sister" (but don't tell anyone because her husband might get mad)... or the time when I had to say,  "hey, you know... your dad is really busy this weekend and can't come get you. BUT it's ok because we are going to have a totally cool time!" (because he planned a trip out of town without you).  Sometimes I get really tired of being a ProBono News Anchor for the Douchebag.  Thankfully MLJMT thought this news was just fine and actually said,  "I like her- she's JUST like you!" (amazing).

Well,  then Sunday after church I got a message from Slim Shady.  He just wanted to see how my day was going. Actually, that's about 85% of everything he ever says to me. *shrugs* Idk...  but this time he actually asked if he could call me and talk for a while. I was going into the grocery store at that exact moment and really couldn't have cared less.  I pretty much said that too.  He called anyway. We talked. Discussed his children (twins, 12 yrs old, boy, girl). Discussed work. Discussed our weekends. Discussed my child. Discussed child arrangements/plans. Discussed how he allows his children the priviledge of riding dangerous ATV's... YIKES!!! and how he would like to get me on the back of a motorcycle... really? DUuuuuDE! no way!! I very politely explained my stand on motorcycles and 3/4 wheelers... including the death of my son's friend 2 years ago... he retracted his invitation and asked me if I like boats!   haha. So maybe I'll go boating sometime with him. 

 Funny how life works though.  It seems that whenever you know what you want, you can never have it.  It seems like there are a million distractions that pull at my mind in a million different directions.  It seems like it will never be alright.

I am ONE more step closer to having 10 cats and wearing Moomoo's. I truly had higher hopes for my future, yet it seems that those hopes are coming to an end sooner and sooner. 

The song below is what plays in my head... 24/7... it embodies all that I am at the moment. I miss him. I love him. and he doesn't even care.  So to all the random Q's in the world... here's your song man, here's your song!

I don’t know but
I think I maybe
Fallin’ for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should
Keep this to myself
Waiting ’til I
Know you better
I am trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I’m scared of what you’ll say
So I’m hiding what I’m feeling
But I’m tired of
Holding this inside my head
I’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’ve fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’ve fallin’ for you
I’ve fallin’ for you
As I’m standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance
All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It’s just you and me


Oh I just can’t take it
My heart is racing
The emotions keep spinning out

Nothing but a good time!


Today. I. Am. Strong. Today. I. Am. Able.
I totally love the praying mantis in the picture above I found this image as I was looking for blog material to make a direct correlation between celebrities and the bugs they look like. When I saw this little guy, he made me smile... look at him. He is standing in the middle of the street with his little arms lifted HIGH into the sky and he's smiling. Me too little buddy. Me toooooooo.

I really am in a better mood today than earlier this week. I actually feel like poopoo but my spirits are high and I am in a good mood. I've accomplished more today than usual, including some dreaded 'phone calls' from irate people. So, I just thought that I would share some of the things that make me giggle... such as this:



I'm pretty sure I opted out of this one last time I hired new employees!





















What could possibly be better than Dr. Suess... with FLAIR!














After you finish laughing about the HO... i'll load a few more pics.  Earlier in my blog I had placed photos of my engagement ring and wedding dress (in my fictional/delusional life, i will eventually get married... just not in my real life)...  so I thought it only appropriate to continue planning my wedding and put just a few more ideas out in to the universe.  I would LOVE to see some of these scattered about the reception.  OR possibly as a replacement for a grooms cake, I mean truly, who needs all that cake. These are cheese cakes.  Yes, my friends actual cakes made from large blocks of cheese. (I love cheese). Some of them are accented and garnished with fruit.  I think they're beautiful:




So I'm one step closer to being done with the wedding plans... and one step closer to finding a willing accomplice? Who knows... all I know is that next weekend I have tenative plans to meet with a friend of mine and set up a profile on one of those internet dating sites.  She is totally cracking me up about it also.  Supposively we are inviting her friend Jose over to give us courage enough to do this because I am totally UNWILLING at the moment. I feel completely desperate even thinking about it. Although my sister has been bugging me to do it for quite some time.  Who knows? Maybe Mr. Right is out there looking for me too.  Funny though... once I was driving down Hwy 440 and actually saw a car license plates that said MR RIGHT. I cracked up and started driving faster... he got away... that's the story of my life, right?

The simplest answer is to act.

The title is the fortune from my cookie.  Nice huh? But it totally fits the idea of the past couple of days.

I have come to this realization during the events that shaped my weekend.  Friday night I had the opportunity to spend alot of quality time with Karen and Alan. Truly... two of my favorite people in the whole world. I enjoyed watching them interact with each other and I will, for the sake of privacy leave that as it is. HOWEVER, I will go as far as to say that it was TOTALLY appropriate, clothed and innocent interaction and thus anyone who thinks otherwise should really bite me!

Saturday I was sick and had no one to take care of me. No one.  I don't actually think I am fully recovered since I am still shaky, tingly and this headache will not go away.  Although I have accomplished drinking at least 64oz of fluids today, I am still dehydrated.

I really expected that at some point I would get to see my friend on Saturday for at least a couple of hours. Not only did I not, but I didn't even hear from him at all proving the point that he not only doesn't care about seeing me anymore (which I totally predicted) but doesn't even care about my feelings at all... thus the reason:  he told me that he would call towards the end of the week... and NEVER did... even though I was fully aware of the fact that he was with in a short 20 min drive of my location.  His choice.  Apparently I'm not that important.  Nice.  Really nice.  Douche!

On Sunday... hehe... during church I totally noticed "Dr. Morgan" looking in my direction during service. Not only looking but making eye contact with me for quite some length of time. This startled me a tad but I must admit gave me another outlook for my pessimistic options of the future.  Immediatly following church I darted off to spend the afternoon with my good friend, Jessica.  When I told her about the "eyeing" I recieved during service and after I pulled up some pictures of him on Facebook, Jessica INSISTED that I make my interest known. And so I did. And so he answered. And so we had a very nice chat that lasted for quite some hours. 

Recapping my thoughts on this weekend...  I attribute seeing an innocent connection between two people who trust each other added to not feeling loved at all by those that I want to feel love from as the inspiration for some much needed soul searching. What I found is that I allow mystism to cloud my judgement and common sense. There is no way to make people feel anything that they do not want to feel. The only thing we can do is change the way we feel or react to the way they treat us. HOWEVER, the way another person treats you should not be the determining factor on how you feel about yourself.  You should have an internal self worth and value that no other person can ever take from you. Know that you are special. You are worth everything to someone even if that someone is yourself.  Also, take that step... sometimes it's just enough to spark something that could possibly turn into a special friendship or bond that you may have never had any opportunity to experience otherwise.  Don't hold back.

In the words of Mr. Edward Magorium:  Your life is an occasion. Rise to it.

Brilliant man, just brilliant...

Let's focus on the positive, shall we?


So far this is my childs grades in the grade book. I will be able to verify this tomorrow night when I go to Parent Teacher Conference (i'm a little scared that the Language Arts grade will be less for some reason)  BUT... OMG look at the two A's for the 2nd nine weeks already!! I'm so happy and proud of him.  He really needs to know just how smart he can be.  Last week he was asked to be an Ambassador for his school (I think that means just  a slave when the teachers need help, but they picked HIM!)  He's also been doing very well playing his trumpet. He played a song for me the other night and it was really pretty. I enjoyed listening to him.

There are other things in my life that are happy things too.  LIKE... the insurance company called yesterday and I get to have my car repaired next week. That makes me really happy. The rental car place called me and asked when I needed my replacement car and I asked them for something with 4 doors.  I can't stand 2 door cars.  Not that it really truly matters. I only have one person in my life that rides in the car with me.

Also, I painted my nails last night. Karen makes fun of me because I paint my nails at least twice a week.  But I chose a different color than I normally would. I feel a little bit naughty for this choice.

Midnight Pluuuuuuuuuuuuuums!!!!!

Last Friday was Boss's Day. I didn't really know this until Thursday when I was asked to participate in getting my boss something.  She got a card and an iTunes gift card so she can really fill up that iPhone with new apps (Whiz Kid).... so i truly didn't expect anything from my team but they surprised me in a unexpected and sentimental way. They got me a basket of fresh fruit, teas and a cup with my name
Truly I loved it! Thank you all for being so sweet.

So I ordered my Halloween costume last Wednesday night. I think I may have already said what it is.  Sookie Stackhouse from Trueblood.   I got the Merlotte's bar t-shirt and the apron with the logo on it.  I've been debating on whether or not I should buy a blonde wig or just fix my hair like hers and say "screw it, have an imagination". One thing I did find was some fake fang mark tattoos for your neck and the actual Trublood drink that you can order online.  It's consumable but a little expensive... so I thought I would improvise.  I found a bottle of bbq sause at the grocery store that is shaped very closely... and a print off label online.  Karen and I are going to make our OWN Trueblood-  we'll show the Japanese just who does it best.

So we are also taking the kids to Boo at the Zoo on Friday night and i'm really excited about that too.... I LOVE the zoo! Maybe I will dress like Sookie then just to try it out!!
So this weeks markerboard mess isn't quite done yet but I took a picture of it anyway because I thought it was funny:
It's last weekend. Me and Jessica and Tylor went to dinner at Senor Tequilla's and laughed and talked about all sorts of nastiness that I had never heard of before. I feel much more educated but I don't know that I wouldn't have been just fine living my whole life with out knowing any of it.... (google:  Bukake).  So this picture is us at Best Buy because Jessica wanted to get the new Mutemath CD (they are coming to Memphis this weekend) and Tylor was mad at us for not paying any attention to him... and staring at the scenery.... which happens to be the hot IT guy that the turkey is talking to.  hmmm lucky turkey.
So down in the street is my son Austin... (from here on out let it be known that he will no longer be referred to as Austin because he wants a secret code name too, like Quuuuue.... we'll call him, My Little Jedi Mind Trick Or MLJMT for short)... so MLJMT is standing in the street proclaiming how happy he is that he has finally gotten a grey Peacoat... the Count from Sesame Street is down the road a bit, trying a bottle of that hot new fad Trueblood and the aliens... well, they're still stalking us in an old beat up truck that looks like a guitar case rolling on gumdrops.
It's a good one. I like the diversity in it.

Now I leave this blog on an even more positive note.  "You are not fat. You are beautiful."  I was told that by Quuuuuue last night during a very odd conversation that we had. One that was needed, not for me necessarily... just needed.   So I add this picture... and hope that someday it can be reenacted.

I love you Quuuue.... and MLJMT too!
all of this together is helping with the SADD... and Karen too!

Dry Erase Fantasy's



In the last blog I mentioned the shopping adventure that I took this past weekend. My friend Jessica went with me and since she is in charge of the marker board art (until she leaves for a different dept on 10/30/09) this is what she put up today.


It's a picture of me at the mall.  There apparently are 3 random men who are bringing me offerings of PURSES, see I already have 3.  I'm using my magical powers to make them float around me.  I'm standing in front of a fountain that was in McCain Mall a long time ago and there seems to be a couple of dudes playing in the fountain, I can't tell, are they naked? If so, I guess that makes them all naked?  Naked Dudes bringing me purses... mmmm...  outside the mall on the street there are the aliens again... driving in a car being chased by that weird turkey.  Jennifer added her driving (on the wrong side of the road- this may be the end of the aliens, we'll need to wait and see how the wreck goes).  Below on the other side of the street is Taylor Lautner... AKA  Jacob Black, he's driving to La Push and see the little house? That's Jessica's house there in La Push.  Jacob is being chased by Edward with his Bouffant hair cut, he looks really mad for some reason.


Speaking of wrecks, the auto body shop called me today and let me know that the insurance company of the dude who hit me last Friday is having a issue contacting him and will not release the work on my car until that has happened.  I'm slightly perturbed.  This is not my fault and i really want my car fixed.



I really need some advice on what to do. What if they can't get in touch with their insured?  Will my car never be fixed?  I'm calling my insurance company now to ask.  *tear*

Also, Austin has been saying...  "Edward Moment" every time he reads my mind... and "Alice Moment" every time he reveals the future.... This morning he actually shhhh'd me in the car and turned the radio up because they were reporting something about Twilight... and tomorrow night we are going shopping to buy him a gray peacoat, like Edward wears.  This is too freaky... my little boy has never been "INTO" anything more than dinosaurs, star wars or Spongebob Squarepants. I'm not sure how I feel about this.  I'm just hoping he doesn't have a "Jasper Moment" and just go nuts on one of the dogs.  hahaha.

My Peacoat.

So this weekend was a trying time for me. I knew it would be but I was totally prepared for it. I've known for a while now that Friday was Quuuue's last day at work and at that point it would be all over... in more ways than one.
I had discussed this with Jessica and Karen at great lengths and I don't know if it was intentional or just coinsidence but between the two of them, I actually had one of the best weekends that I have had in a long time. 
I had already been dreading the fact that Austin had decided to go out of town this weekend with his friends from church, so I knew that I would be alone and have lots of time to think, stalk and get depressed.  So, Jessica and I decided to go shopping on Saturday. The plan was that I would get up, get ready and drop Austin off- going straight to LaPush and then out for shopping. and THAT is exactly what we did.  Of course I had goals of things that I needed (wanted) and I almost completely accomplished all of those (I still want some different shoes). We went to a lot of different stores and found some really good deals.  I got 4 new sweaters, 2 blouses (kick ass blouses), a pair of slacks, a jacket for Austin (that i need to take back because he wants a pea coat) and the ULTIMATE goal... a peacoat for me.   

I absolutely ADORE it!  and my plans are to go back this week and get another one... maybe a red one... or a gray one.... but neither with a hood. The really cool thing is that while Jess and I were shopping at the Mall, Karen text me and she was there too so we met up and looked at coats together. We parted and I continued to shop.
After leaving Little Rock for home I was invited to Lori's for dinner. We went to the grocery to get stuff and on the way back I got a nail in my tire (it's ok though because it sorta matched the HUGE smashed in portion from the guy rear-ending me on Friday morn). We made Lori watch a couple eps of Trueblood with us and I don't think she liked it much (although Kevin said he thought it was funny how much we laughed at the pornilicious parts).
Sunday I got to dress in my new clothes and PEEEACOOOAT and go to church. It was a good day, although entirely TOO cold. Hot chocolate, pj's, Karen and Trueblood... and flea spray topped off the day.
I must admit when I closed my eyes last night to sleep, I smiled.  Life goes on. Life goes on.

*i love you Karen, thank you for keeping me sane this week... *

Markerboard Art

I've decided that I'm going to load the weekly pictures that my team/friends at work draw on my markerboard.   This one is from last week.  It's me and Quuue in a forrest being attacked or maybe attacking a large group of "Last of the Mohican" Turkey's.  Notice the Aliens are back.



This one is today's (this week's) magnifique:


It is a rendition of my weekend.  Me and Quuuuue riding jet ski's. We had a good time. Notice the turkey's are trying to find us and the aliens are hidden in the trees. That one turkey is Mel Gibson (as a Mohican turkey). This apparently has something to do with an episode of South Park that I somehow missed.  *shrugs* either way, really cute and a nice way for me to remember the fun times I had last weekend.

Barbie and Hitler sittin' in a tree... K- I - S - S - I - N - G

Ever wonder what would happen had famous people in the past been married to fictional characters? seriously?  I have the weirdest thoughts sometimes. 


So how would the world have been different if Hitler married say, Barbie? It's really not that far fetched if you really think about it. She's tall, leggy, BLONDE HAIR/BLUE EYES, and is easily controlled. I'm sure his mother would have approved.
Well, first I would have to admit that they would have fought over who's clothes are better, because I really have a hard time acknowledging that Hitler's clothes weren't some fabrication of Mattel anyway. I mean, what decent man would wear that many tassles and gold buttons and cutsie little shoes that matched his hats and all the accessories?  Also, he had the ORIGINAL Ken doll haircut. Plus I kinda imagine that we would have ended up with little Hitler barbies, looking something like this: 


Now, being that Hitler was all powerful in his own mind and thought he could overtake the world, I would imagine that the object of his affections would be able to ask for ANYTHING! I mean, I just imagine this scene going down:

Barbie: (running into Hitlers' office crying with her cute little pink Jackie-O outfit with matching purse and shoes)  OOOOooooh  Adddddie (that would be her nickname for him) I'm so upset (whimper whimper)
Hitler: But my sweet, all is right in the world, what has upset you?
Barbie: I was coming home from shopping and I found this nasty bug and it scared me!
Hitler: (rubbing his little pathetic mustouche while thinking) hmmm, then I must require genetic alterations in bugs to make them a superior species that no longer scares my pookie wookie!
Barbie: awww Addddie, you're the best! (smoochies)

And so within a year or so, Hitlers scientists would come up with a way to create a new superior race of bugs and this is what we would see:




Not long after this joyous union of Barbie with Hitler, they would decide it was time to start a family.  After many attempts that would most likely just produce many daughters who they would have named, Skipper, Addie (juniorette) and Babs (but they would call her bunny), a little heir would be born.  Although he would be a slight boy and a tad bit shy he would also be known for his moderate intelligence. Sent to many private schools for the best education, Rudolph Adolph Hitler would have to be his days chick magnet. Just check out the emo-over and the eyeliner in his senior year photo:



ok. ... but one more thing.  While researching for this blog I found this. It's a list of Barbie's friends, in order.  This just proves how shallow she is, she's one of those girls that can't have more than one best friend at a time. Looks like she tried really hard in 1988 but it was just too much for her. She never again had that many friends at ONE time. I really think it was big of her though to be friends with Kayla not only in 1989 but also AGAIN in 1994:
