Hi - a new, new newbie here. I've been lurking around the message boards for the last few days, soaking it all in. The other day I wrote a thoughtful, witty, wonderful post under the discussion of the Halloween episode, which my computer ate rather than posted.
(I love these little emoticons)
My parents gave me the box set for my birthday a week ago and I watched all 19 episodes in about 3 days, which is quite a feat, considering that I have 2 small children. Wait, before you call CPS let me assure you that my 2 year old actually put up with 3 hours of mscl before begging me to turn it off. Or switch to Blues Clues. But I am proud to say that she can now not only identify a picture ot Elvis, a picture of Jesus, and John Lennon, but also Angela Chase. These are the pillars of this child's eduation, my friends. I have no idea what I'm talking about.
I first saw MSCL: The first episode on abc. I was a senior in high school, but taking classes at the local community college - I had a class during the show so I would tape it. I remember before it even began seeing the commercials for it and thinking it looked cool, but that the name was awful. We didn't have cable so I never saw it on mtv.
How it impacted my life: One more thing for me to obsess over. and fall in love with. it helped explain me to myself. (boy, if only my parents had watched it!)
My goals and aspirations: Being a good mom. And skinny. And holy. And rich. Being a rich, skinny, holy, decent mother. And a better cook too.
My greatest accomplishment in life so far: My two babies. Did I mention that I'm a mom? And that I have 2 beautiful kids? Well, if I haven't yet, I'm sure I will. often.
My shoe size: 7-ish.
My favorite fruit: a good old fashioned red apple.
My most guilty pleasure: not doing the dishes. instead, eating cookie dough with my daughter and playing with her hair as she watches cinderella.
My best childhood sugary Saturday morning cereal: honey nut cheerios. I know it's not hard-core sugary, but it's got personality. with whole milk it's amazing. to me, anyway.
My favorite cartoon character: Peter Griffins
My ultimate disco song: ummmm, I'll claim to be too young to know anything about disco, which is partly true, but the real reason I can't answer is that I'm not cool enough. And not emo enough. Whatever that means.
alright, that's it for my intro. I have to leave some of the mystery for later. I know you all won't buy the cow if I give away the milk for free, right?
