Becca: It Wasn't My Idea

I don't like The Beatles. We've been over this. The thing of it is, though, I would almost like to like The Beatles, because, to be honest, it seems like a pretty cool thing to like.

I'm not all that into coffee. I don't hate it, but I don't love it, either. I like it some days, but mostly I just tolerate it. However, I would LIKE to be one of the people who just loves coffee, and knows the actual difference between light and dark roast and knows what their favorites order from Starbucks is, because being a coffee junkie is just hipster enough to be neat.

I like movies, but I'm not a movie connoisseur who knows the names of actors and dates of when such and such won such and such an award. Now, that is actually something I wish I was really into, because THAT is pretty stinking awesome, but no, I'm not really that dedicated to Hollywood.

Isn't it funny how you can like the idea of liking something more than you like the thing itself? I have a list:

• The color purple*
• SteamPunk art
• Edgy fashion
• SteamPunk anything!
• Indie music
• Ale 81
• Art in general
• Poetry
• Computer ... stuff
• Johnny Cash
• Cars and/or Motorcycles
• Classical music
• etc.

Seriously - I love the idea of having interesting interests, just for the sake of having interesting interests to talk about with those who have similar interesting interests! But not so much. Politics, mythology, alternative rock (which isn't even really all that alternative) and photography. And some other random stuff, like Disney movies and scrap-booking. Woo. Hoo. So stinking interesting.

But yes. I like the idea of being interesting based on whatever interests I could choose to be interested in, whether or not I'm actually interested in them. I like the idea of liking many things more than I actually like them, which makes me wonder why I want to like them in the first place, and why it matters whether or not my interests are "cool".

And, furthermore, why have I adopted the thought process that anyone who has unusual interests is automatically "cool" (read: someone I would want to attempt to emulate)? And what makes the unusual unusual in the first place, and why, OH WHY, do I even care?

So yes. What do you wish you liked so that you could be interesting for having interesting interests?

Keep it real! ... or, virtual! Whatever. :)

Becca out.

Note: The original prompt for this idea came from Eddguardo Deevachinski. Or something like that. ;D Thanks for the text, E.

* I LOVE the color purple, but it isn't my favorite color, but I wish it was, because it sounds so much better than "burnt orange". True story.

The deliciousness of brewed coffee beans.

It's Tuesday, folks!

Aaaaand it's raining outside! For those of you who don't really know me that well, I. LOVE. THE RAIN. <3
If I wake up in the morning and it's raining, my day is automatically a good one. Seriously, I spring out of bed and dance around the house singing. And smiling. It's kind of scary.

Anyway. Coffee. A favorite hot beverage of mine here on the planet earth.
But, you know, some people don't like coffee. ...Let's give them a moment.

*Heather pauses.

Moment over.

I guess I sort of understand how a person couldn't like coffee... kind of.. ish. But hey, more for me, right? xD
Right. So, all you coffee-haters out there, bring ME your unwanted coffee. I will drink it....and I might share it with some of my favorite coffee-drinking people. Maybe.

Oh! And guess what! Drinking coffee on a rainy day is a automatic win times TENTHOUSANDMILLIONANDABUNCHMOREBIGNUMBERS!!!!!!!!! Yay. YAY.

Yupyupyup! I'm just rambling now, so I'll be nice to you and end the post. :) 

It's time to say toodles, don't spray paint your poodles, and don't forget to smile! :)

You're blessed.

Take me out to the ball game. Please.

Here! The video that I promised you on Monday, is here. On Friday. Don't hate me forever!

So, yes. I hope you enjoyed it.
Now, onto the promised "typing/post/thing".

This summer, I participated in Smorgasbord Studios 2011. IT WAS EPIC. The play we did was called Our Town, and it's possible you've heard of that production before! It's performed I think... 3(?) times a day, somewhere in the world. Which is pretty cool, if you think about it!
But anyways.
I didn't really have a "real" part, but I was part of the barbershop quartet (full of women) that performed two songs during each intermission. Super cool = us. One of the songs we performed was Take Me Out To The Ballgame. ..Thus the reason for the title of this blog post.

It was REALLY fun.

And if any of you like acting, or hanging out with super-awesome-mega-cool people all summer, Smorgasbord is the place for you to be. :) Just sayin.

Well, I did leave you a video... and words to read... so I think you're pretty much set for today.

I love you all! You're blessed. <3

Late Saturday Post About POP-ularity. Sorta.

Hey everybody. Becca and Heather here. Well, actually, Becca is being the typist today ... tonight ... yeah. Anyway, TECHNICALLY, this post was done yesterday, Saturday, when it ought to have been done. The thing of it is ... we kinda-sorta forgot to put it up. So here's the thing; you forgive us, and we won't stalk you to your grandmother's on Thanksgiving! Deal? Deal. :)

We love you! You're blessed!

P.S. ... okay, so neither of us actually cares enough about your opinion of us to stalk you anywhere except to Starbucks, but the point must be made: you should be afeared of us. A. Feared. That's all. ^_^

P.P.S. Monday, October 10: Okay, so we ended up having to use YouTube after all. Yaaaaaaay.

You're welcome.

Becca: Hey, everyone! Or, the one or two of you (our friends) who are reading this right now. First things first - I love you more.

Heather: ...She's a liar. I love you the most.

Becca: (Whatever.)

Heather: *Looks at Becca*... *Feels sorry for her.*

Becca: Ahem! Well, anyway - alright, this is our first REAL attempt at a joint ... thing. We've been talking about doing "The Adventures of Becca and Heather" videos for about a year now, and we've done a few, but it's not as easy as we thought it was going to be ...

Heather: What she's trying to say was, they were lame.

Becca: Not exactly, but close. Basically, we don't want to mess with YouTube and editing right now, so while we were walking around today, we came up with the idea of writing a blog together, and putting vlogs (video logs, for you brilliant people who don't know what I'm talking about) up whenever we feel like it. We even made an email account! Woo. Hoo.

Heather: We're pretty proud of ourselves. ^^ Obviously.

Butts. HA!

 Becca: Oh my. So yes. What is going to happen from here on out is this:

Monday: Heather Posts a Blog/Vlog (whatever she feels like, don't judge her!)

Thursday: Becca Posts a Blog/Vlog (whatever I want, judge me if you must)

Saturday: We (both of us, yes, be afraid) Post a Blog/Vlog (you get the idea - whatever we want)

Any Other Day of the Week: There may be random posts from one or both of us at any given time, especially as we're getting started! You should feel privileged.

Heather: Super awesome? Why yes. Yes we are. 

"But Heather!"(You say), "Today is Thursday!" ....Yes. It is. I look at my calender too, and I am not mentally retarded. But Becca was a dear, and let us post together! (Sharing, children, is a wonderful thing.)

Becca: (FYI, at first Heather typed "Sharing children is a wonderful thing", without the comma, so we had a good laugh over the idea of sharing our children. Scary thought? Maybe a little. We're okay with scary.)

Heather: Well, we need to go write a Bio/Description...

Becca: ... slash a couple of paragraphs where we are allowed to brag on ourselves and no-one can call us self-absorbed ...

Heather: ...Right. So, toodles! Don't spray paint your poodles, and smile! :)

Becca: And we love you - but I love you more ...

Heather: ... Lies. 

Becca: ... but Jesus loves you more! :)

Heather: ...TRUTH! :)

You're blessed! <3
