Pinterest Makes Me Feel Inadequate...

I decided to participate in Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop today... It’s been a long time, but I really liked this prompt. It was: 2.) Are you on Pinterest? Share the last five items you pinned,choose one and let it inspire a blog post.

So here are the last 5 items I pinned:

These are just too cute for words... Right? Am I right?? They are on my “So cute, I’m gonna vomit” board.

From my “I wish I knew how to do my hair like grown-ups do...” board. I think I could actually achieve this one...

That’s true friendship... (From “Crack Me Up, Please”)

Who doesn’t sing “Soft Kitty” to ease sickness?! (Also from “Crack Me Up, Please”) I love Big Bang Theory.

Again from “I wish I knew how to do my hair like grown-ups do...”

So the one I’m sticking with is the last one there... I honestly DO NOT know how to do my hair! I can leave it down with it parted on the side or the middle, pull it half up, or put it in a ponytail. When it is longer I can braid it, though I rarely take the time to french braid... I have had success ONCE with a cute “braid my hair across my forehead” thing, but only once. I have not been able to repeat it even though I have tried sooooooo many times.

That’s it. Really. That is the extent of my hair styling “prowess”.

And I wish that I could do more... But my hair doesn’t like to curl, I can’t really have bangs because of my annoying cowlick, and I just flat out have no idea where to start. I simply comb my hair out after a shower, let it dry, and then brush it in the morning – all the while wishing that I had the skill to do something new...

But since I don’t – I will just keep staring at these pictures... Thinking how pretty they are...

And really missing when my hair was red... (But not wanting to make the effort to have it be red again...)

10 Reasons Why I Could Never Be Friends with Alexander Skarsgard:

1. Because... well... he looks like this without a shirt on:

 Photo from here.

And drool is so not a good look for me.

2. Because he was Meekus in Zoolander and I would make him crazy trying to get him to keep doing the voice and the “Earth To” jokes...

3. Because when I wasn’t trying to make him do the Meekus voice, I would be trying to make him talk like Eric.

4. I would probably keep calling him “Eric” and it would make him crazy...

5. My husband probably wouldn’t like it much...

6. We wouldn’t be able to hang out anywhere without being mobbed by fans...

7. Because even though I live in Southern California, I very rarely have any celebrity encounters... Especially not ones that would lead to becoming friends with the celebrity...

8. Because the paparazzi would probably start rumors that I was carrying his love-child or something and my husband really wouldn’t appreciate that...

9. Because knowing him in real life could potentially ruin the magic of watching him in movies and on True Blood...

10. Because, while he seems to be fairly intelligent, I would be so disappointed if he turned out to be just a pretty face... and arms, chest, abs.....

And, really, none of these things would stop me from befriending Alexander Skarsgard... So, Alex, my potential-future-best-friend... If you are reading this... Call me! I’ll bring the “BFF” necklaces... Do you prefer the “Be Fri” side or the “st ends” side?
