It wasn’t exactly a Nobel Prize in Literature…but it was close. This week I’ll tell you about the time I wrote an award-winning piece of fiction. Plus, I’ll announce the winner of the What Some Would Call Lies t-shirt giveaway.

This is the one with a missed connection.

It’s Tuesday, y’all! So here is Episode 10 of the What Some Would Call Lies podcast.

If you think I’m sexy and you want my body, baby write an anonymous note on an internet message board explaining your attraction to me.

This is the one about being happy.

It’s Monday! So here is my new mantra on my mirror for the week. Each week I write a little inspirational message on a post-it and put it on my bathroom mirror. Throughout the week I try to focus on this message to get me through the week.

What’s your mantra for the week?

This week I’d like to focus on finding activities that make me happy. Volunteer? Book club? Writers group. I’m looking.

Here’s my mantra for the week:

This is the one about a realization.

Episode 9: Biopic

I think that Paul Walker should play me.

Thank you guys for your emails. Remember that you can email me by writing any profane word or phrase and then put a @whatsomewouldcalllies.com after it. The sicker and more profane the better.

This is the one about pronunciations.

Happy Friday, y’all!

This week I’ve been incredibly entertained by something kinda silly. Earlier this week I googled “How to pronounce gyro” and I got this result:

The YouTube user Pronunciationbook made the video and he has a bunch of them that pronounce words. But that is NOT what I <3 this week. What I’m totally loving is the dickhead that made a YouTube account under the name PronunciationManual and he mispronounces words.

I’ve been LLOLing (Literally Laughing Out Loud).

It’s Friday!

It has been a somewhat hectic week and it’s been nearly impossible to keep my energy levels up this week. I was very happy, however, to find Portlandia on Netflix this week.

Portlandia is a sketch comedy show with Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein set in Portland.

If you get IFC or if you have Netflix streaming, I suggest you check it out. Some of my favorites are the “Put A Bird On It” people and the “Did you read…” sketch (YouTube vid below).

FRIDAY, JANUARY 6th, 2012… I <3 Portlandia.

This is the one about sending meta messages.

I’ve written before about my love for the streaming music service Spotify. Well I’ve just found another reason to love it; you can send songs to your Facebook friends, and I’ve sent meta messages to my Facebook acquaintances. Well some of the messages are pretty obvious, I guess. Perhaps this is funnier to me than it is to anyone else, but here’s what I’ve sent so far:

Coldplay’s Fix You to the gay Mormon kid that just got married to a woman even though he’s told me he’s gay
Gershwin’s I Got Rhythm to the girl who was on our high school’s color guard team and was void of rhythm
Dolly Parton’s Jolene to the guy that stole my girlfriend from me in high school
Fugees Killing Me Softly With His Song to the guy I used to work with that thought he was a good singer but isn’t
Guns N’ Roses Welcome To The Jungle to a friend living in Newport Beach because I just found out that my favorite restaurantPita Jungle is opening up a location in Newp.
Reba McEntire’s The Greatest Man I Never Knew to a blog buddy that I’ve had a virtual friendship with for a few years but have never met in person
Rihanna’s S&M to a friend that has told me she has only had missionary sex
Whitney Houston’s I Wanna Dance With Somebody to a bunch of people I’d like to dance with
Little Jackie’s Love Will Find Me to my internet crush that lives 500 miles away
Mika’s Happy Ending to my friend studying to be a (legitimate) massage therapist
Peter Bjorn and John’s Young Folks to my oldest Facebook friend
Plain White T’s Hey There Delilah to my friend Delilah
Sisqo’s The Thong Song to an old co-worker that never wore sneakers, only flip-flops (thongs)
Trey Songz’ Bottoms Up to my ex-boyfriend…long story
Willow’s Whip My Hair to my completely bald friend

I seriously love sending these. If you’re a Facebook friend, you might be getting a delivery soon.
