In Other News
A couple things have happened in the past week, but since they're not particularly related here a bit of a mash up.
1. For all you Gleeks- Kurt/Blaine FTW! I think we all knew it was coming, but in my opinion it played out perfectly.
I also just loved the episode as a whole. The original songs were great and I'm sad we're going to have to wait a while for the season to start up again, but the mid-season did end on a stellar note. I'm really counting on Finn and Rachel getting back together later in the show (it's pretty obvious right?) because they're my favorite pair. Any thoughts from other Gleeks out there?
2. Sabrina Jeffries has officially announced that in the final book of the Hellion series Celia will be pair with Pinter. I don't know if anyone else felt this way, but I thought the pairing was clearly set up since the first book (sort of like Minerva and Giles), which is something I've really enjoyed and am looking forward to. She's said on her Facebook that David Gandy is her model for Pinter.
Very nice.
3. I got to try TruBlood! I know, I know, it's so gimmicky, right? It tastes pretty good though. It's carbonated blood orange soda, so it's just like a premium over price regular orange soda, but the bottles are soooo awesome! I'm such a fan.
4. The Iditarod recently concluded. When it comes to this dogsled race, I am the definition of a superfan. I constantly am running back to my computer to check the standings of the mushers. I was pretty psyched because I won my bet this year. I predicted Dallas Seavey would not win but place in the top ten, and he came in fourth! Look, here's me being superfan-y.
My Spring Break is over and am now back at school. Le sigh. Time to get back into gear.

TGIF: Hawt Football
TGIF everyone! This hasn't been the greatest week for me, so I'm glad to see the weekend. What's the best solution to a bad week- hot men and a funny video of course!
Since the Super Bowl is coming up I decided to go with a football theme! I'm not a big football fan but I get shivers looking at these guys ;)
I was deeply distrubed when I was googling these photos(and no, not just because google images without safe mode is a mine field). Why are they all white?! I didn't want to use professional football players, so I mostly looked up models, but since a whole lot of pro footballers are black, wouldn't it make since to have some black models too? Not that these guys aren't smokin', but what's up with all the white washing?
On a different note, look a funny video, because British people make us laugh:

Santa Baby
Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is having a great day right now. My gift to you is beautiful men ;)
This is a great video if you're like me and you go for your heroes tattoed up *cough*BDB*cough* Plus I just love this song.

The Final Countdown
It’s that time of years again. No, not the holidays… FINALS WEEK!!! Only ten days until that hellish period marked by excessive amounts of caffeine, poor personal hygiene, and overwhelming anxiety about escaping graduating.
Whoever thought of jamming everything important into one week is an idiot. Really, colleges would be much healthier if we got rid of finals week… and fraternities… and Four Lokos. I’m still waiting for them to ban it here in Maryland. For those of you out there who don’t know what Four Lokos is, observe the horror:
I’ve been dealing with the stress pretty well *knock on wood*. I don’t have class on Fridays, and since I’ve been worried I’m getting sick I took today easier than planned. I stopped by Goodwill to check out their book selection. I was mildly disappointed- there were tons of paperbacks, but almost all of them were Danielle Steel or Harlequin Presents from the ‘90s. I think I’m just spoiled by some of the truly awesome thrift stores I’ve found back home. I did manage to find a few I wanted though.
I also ended up going to Buffalo Wild Wings with one of my friends. I’m a total wings fanatic, and just last week she turned me onto their Blazin’ wings. On the menu the Blazin’ wings come with a disclaimer- “Keep away from eyes, pets, children: The hottest sauce we got.” Later I looked it up on the internet. It’s 200,000-350,000 Scoville units, which is 70 times hotter than a jalapeño pepper. And. They. Are. Amazing. Both times I thought I was going to die, but the endorphine rush is absolutely incredible. Even if you don’t like spicy wings, I would still recommend Buffalo Wild Wings. Their Sweet BBQ and Garlic Parmesan sauces are delicious without the zing.

1. The Heir- Johanna Lindsey
2. Not Another Bad Date- Rachel Gibson
3. Fast Women- Jennifer Crusie
4. Anyone But You- Jennifer Crusie

Mega Post of Happy Things
I've been out of the blogosphere for almost two weeks now. Like most of the population I've been under the weather, and then got backlogged with life and had no time to update. So, to make up for that, I'm doing a Mega Post of Happy Things. In other words, a big list of things that make me smile with as many links as possible.
Non-Romance Blogs I Follow
1. Lolcats: Who doesn't follow this one? I'm also going to mention the numerous associated blogs I check out on a regular basis: ROFLrazzi, Pundit Kitchen, Graphjam, Kludges, Failblog, Failbook, and Hacked IRL.
2. Nathan Kamp: Book Covers: Ok, so this is sort of related to romance, but more under the hot men category. You can probably recognize him because he's on tons of romance covers. Did anyone else watch the pilot for Royal Pains just for Nathan's two-second cameo...?
3. Odd News: Mainly from the UK, but the articles are universally funny.
4.Oddly Specific: I think this one is also associated with Lolcats, but I like it enough to give it its own line.
5. Picture is Unrelated: Another golden Lolcat cousin filled with WTFckery.
6. Sleep Talkin' Man: From the UK as well, but this guy must have hilarious dreams.
7. Stop Making That Duckface!: You know someone who does it, and please, just stop.
8. manvszombies: I've never really gotten into the whole zombie thing, but I get a kick out of this. If you've read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies you might like it.
9. WEDINATOR: Snark-worthy wedding moments.
10. Cake Wrecks: This goes well with WENDINATOR.
11. XKCD: Geeky jokes for the nerd in all of us.
12. Autocomplete Me: When Google suggest goes awry.
13. Hunk du Jour: Self-explanatory. Hot Men make me happy.
14. 5-Star Men: More hot men! Both this and Hunk du Jour are targeted for gay men, but I see no reason a straight woman can't enjoy it.
15. Indexed: Clever messages on index cards.
16. PostSecret: Sometimes funny. Sometimes tragic. I've been following this blog for almost six years and have gone to a few signing events.
17. FMyLife: As most this list proves, life's fails are entertaining.
On My YouTube Account
1. CommunityChannel: Apparently spunky Asian-Australian girls make big youtube sensations. Usually posts every 3-7 days with easily to relate to self-deprecating humor.
2. CollegeHumor: I'm pretty sure MTV owns this. They post pretty frequently with a variety of ongoing shows and series. Really funny and some of the stuff is very well done.
Blog Awards
Tracy was really awesome and tagged me (quite awhile ago) for the Sugar Doll Award. I'm supposed to list 10 things about myself and pass it on. To be honest, I'm horrible about tagging other people so I'm just going to encourage anyone who wants to do this to post it on their blog.
My ten things:
1. I'm obsessed with the Iditarod. For those poor souls who do not know what the Iditarod is, it's the dog sled race up in Alaska. (Anyone seen Balto?) I've been known to get pretty big crushes on some of the younger mushers, my two favorites being Rohn Buser and Dallas Seavey. Rohn isn't in the race this year, but Dallas is and I'm definitely cheering him on. The race is still going on now, so check it out!
2. I want to become a flight attendant. Most people look at me funny for this. Would I really want to deal with the insane hours and crabby passengers. Well yea, I do. I'd be awesome at it (I have amazing customer service skills) and the benefits would be sweet.
3. I love the movie Repo! The Genetic Opera. It's hard to describe, except that it's as campy as Rocky Horror and you get to see Paris Hilton's face fall off.
4. I'm terrified of relationships. I love reading romances, but there's a big difference between enjoying the story and actually being ready for a relationship.
5. Cary Grant is my hero. I have a nice little collection of his comedies, my favorite being The Philadelphia Story.
6. I'm focusing on school right now, but one day I want to write romance. Probably contemporary romance. I already have a few ideas bouncing around my head.
7. Red and black are my favorite colors.
8. I have three stars tattooed on my body.
9. I have two cats, Jesse (James) and Aby (which is short for Abyssinia, the source of the Nile), and a betta fish named Napoleon.
10. I am not a morning person, whatsoever. When left to my own devices I become completely nocturnal. This happened to me for a few weeks during my freshman year at college. It was very inconvenient.
Just Friggin' Awesome
A couple weeks ago over at Smart Bitches there was a contest to promote The Marriage Ring. The winner got a $1,500 gift certificate to Fragments jewelry. My friend won! I was in a state of shock for the first few minutes after she told me. I'm so happy for her!
Twilight
Whether you love it, whether you hate it, most of us can't take our eyes off it.
Yea, I'll be there.
Hot Men
Would any make-you-feel-better blog post really be complete without them?
