Surf and Turf: Reverse Evolution

They can't put anything on the Internet that isn't true...

In response to yesterday's post I searched for "reverse evolution" and this is what the internet found me.

...uh...Bonjour.

Convo Convoy: Oh positive

Tracey: I should donate blood. I always mean to but forget.
Danni: I would like to too but I’m not necessarily a needed type. It’s not like I’m O neg. I’m A positive.
Tracey: Yeah but A positive is better for A positive then O neg is.




*contemplation*




Tracey: It’s weird that people have different types. Like what’s the difference? I mean I know that the cells are different shapes and what not but what does that mean? How does it affect people?
Danni: I don’t know. Maybe when the Earth is covered with toxic slime we’ll turn into different things like you’d be a lizard and I’d be a dinosaur.




*another long pause of contemplation*




Tracey: Yeah but lizards and dinosaurs are like the same thing. Like if you were a dinosaur I’d be like a bird…Well birds are still close to dinosaurs. Maybe I’d be a monkey. No, that would be like reverse evolution.
Danni: True.

Tracey's Triange - What's your Gangnam Style?

3rdRoommate's Mom (my Aunt) owns an antique store and has a very specific style in her store and her home:  

Shabby Chic.

You've got lace, floral fabrics, antiques and vintage accessories, and a white and pastel pink color scheme.

There are many styles out there. You have your: Country Home.

Little house on the Prairie, Farm animals, apple pie decor, with rustic oversize furniture. Basically souvenirs from any seasonal New Hampshire store ever.

There is a subset of that I call
"Welcome to the Lake"
 

 

If you live near a lake or summer at one. you have things with canoes, fishing, snowshoes, bears, and moose on them. And probably a map of the area on the wall and a fireplace. Adirondack chairs.

This leads us to Cottage Home

It's bright and fresh with a dab of antique. There's wicker and flowers. It's light or light painted woods










 Subset of this is the Beach House

Similar to the Lake, but more nautical things like life rings, oars, and more blues and whites think light and airy compared to the dark reds and greens, and thick beef stew of the country.
You've got shells, seaglass, and sand-dollars. Anything turquoise.










But these are all very generic.

Individual styles are much more interesting.


ODanniGirl's style is what I've dubbed Brit-ish Dreams. Red and Blue. She is in love with all things London, It look like that British Invasion actually happened in Danni's room. She's decorated with the British Flag, Big Ben, those red double-decker buses... She also dreams of attending Hogwarts so we have a Harry Potter flourish mixed in. Keep Calm her style is Totally Awesome.

3rdRoommate is Quirky Irish Chic. Raised under a Shabby Chic roof it is no surprise that 3rdRoommate took the mantle of Chic but her style is more unique and personality specific. Blue, Green, and Yellow. Odds and ends from different yard sales: old cameras and  interesting pictures. Add a couple Boondock Saint movie posters and DKM leaking from the speakers and you have Quirky Irish Chic.

Which brings me to Me.
3rdRoommate decided that I am Creepy Cute. Green, Blue, and Black. I have a collection of Gargoyles next to candles and fake sunflowers, I donned my walls with a Masquerade Mask and Ouija Board, Butterflies and Poetry. My shelves have my Forensic text books and books on grammar, The Bible and book on Tarot. Chemistry books and Cookbooks. My inner-child is little Tiffany from MIB: Eight-year-old white girl, middle of the ghetto, bunch of monsters, middle of the night with quantum physics books about to start some shit. I am no doubt Creepy Cute.

So what's your style?

Good Style, Bad Style, and My Style

Convo Convoy: My Two Dads

[on Glee]
Danni: I forgot Rachel had two dads.
Tracey: yeah, in the first season one was black, and in the next season one was Jeff Goldblum.

Ms Cleo Knows all: The Universe

UNIVERSAL TRUTHS

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of  my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired. 
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blu Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.
13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever.
15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Darn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
19. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Bud Lite than Kay.
20. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
21. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.
22. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
23. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.
24. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
25. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?
26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year?
29. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
30. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
31. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
32. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my behind everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!

Bob Wehadababyitsaboy: Scott Speedman

If Sean Penn

3rdRoommate: If it was a life of death situation and I had to order the type of ice-cream Danni would order. That’s what I would have picked.
Danni: gets and starts to eat her cone.
3rdRoommate: So basically I just saved your life.
Tracey: to Danni  So you owe her one now.
3rdRommate: Yeah

Danni's Doorstep: Brow-knees?

After seeing an actress on a commercial:

Danni: She look like she shaved off her eyebrows and it’s not a good look for her...
...No one should shave off their eye brows...
...It’s never a good look.
