I finally have my iTunes library consolidated and fully synced on my iPod.  Wow.  That took a LOT longer than it should have, but it'll be time well spent while traveling for the next couple weeks.  *Yay*

What are 10 things you've done that other people probably haven't? 
Submitted by Janette.   

I definitely have a lot of things that could be on this list that can't be on the list in such a public forum, but lets see if I can come up with some... clean... ones.  Maybe I'll post the dirty list friends-only later. ;)

1. Once, I was bit by a lion.  It was a baby lion, and I was in 5th grade.  He was just playing, but it still hurt.
2. I have gone on a week-long road trip, accompanied by someone I'd never met until a couple days before we left, while planning on staying with people I'd never met the whole way.   (hi striatic!)
3. I graduated from Yale.  (not very interesting, but statistically speaking, most people haven't done that)
4. I lived on a mountain, by a castle, in Germany.
5. I watched all 6 Star Wars movies, in story order, all in one day. 
   
6. I've played the bells at Harkness tower.
7. I baked six different kinds of cupcakes in one day.
8. I rode a horse through snowy woods in Sweden (terribly terribly romantic).
9. I took a class on the feasibility of concepts in popular science fiction books.
10. I had a close friend for a roommate for two years and it worked out splendidly. We didn't fight, we communicated, we became even closer and still remain close.  This isn't "exciting", but from what I can tell, somewhat rare.
    

That was entirely too hard.  Seriously.  Geez, I must be boring.

so I have actively liked my last 4 three sixty five posts.  this is a pretty big change from my recent trend of climbing into bed and saying, "oh, crap, need photo... [click]... okay, sleep."

anyway, i thought it was of note, so here I am, noting it.

What are you most grateful for in your life right now?

That's actually a little optimistic for this week, so let us go with a list of things that I do not hate.

10 Things Emily does not currently hate:

1. Soup.  I really like soup.
2. My cats.
3. Truffle oil.
4. Striped socks.
5. Cupcakes.
6. Hulu.
7. Skitch.
8. My Patagonia tank top.
9. TMG's new album, Heretic Pride.
10. My pending east coast trip to see people I really like.
    

So I got this from Hannah, and even though she didn't tag me, I decided to post it with the thought that maybe if I starting posting *something* I might eventually get around to posting on a regular basis again...

1. Grab your nearest book.

2. Open the book to page 123.

3. Find the fifth sentence.

4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.

5. Tag 5 different people.

"I looked at everything twice so that I could describe it perfectly for her, then I rode on, surrounded by breathless, chatty strangers filling the parks, streets and alleys with their astonishment.  I overheard the same numbers over and over: Six-point-eight! Six-point-eight!  And the warning: There may be aftershocks."

I haven't read this one yet, but it was in the living room, so the closest to me.  I got it at Powell's in Portland.

...and I guess I'm supposed to tag people, but I'm not going to.  Because I'm a rebel!

*waves*

I seem to have some sort of bug bite on the bottom of my foot.

My official position on this situation is that I am: Not Pleased.

Bah.

9:24:12 PM Emily Garcia: i drank wine straight from the bottle
9:24:21 PM Emily Garcia: does that officially make me a lush?
9:24:35 PM Brittney Bush: No, it just makes you efficient.
9:24:43 PM Emily Garcia: ...and that is why i love you.

I was mentioning this to Brittney earlier, and realized I should share the knowledge and share it with everyone.  I know you'll all be excited.  Especially the guys.

So.  If you know me, you know that I love wearing eyeshadow, but also that in reality I don't wear make up all that often.  Well, this past Saturday, I went to a 6-year-old's birthday party.  And I wore eyeshadow.  Pretty purple and pink.  This isn't really all that interesting, except that, after 6 hours at this party, where it was 90 degrees outside and I had three separate bouts in the Bounce House (which, by the way, gets *really* hot), I looked in the mirror.  And my eyeshadow was still perfectly in place.  No fading or smudging or anything.

To what can I attribute this miracle in the world of beauty products? 

Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion.

Seriously... that, I feel was really putting it to the test and boy did it pass.

I highly recommend it.

I will say, as a follow up, if you are very much into blending, this stuff makes is a bit tougher since it is designed to make the eyeshadow stick where you first put it... but you can still do some blending.  Benefit also makes an eyeshadow primer called F.Y.eye that is quite good.  In my experience it is not quite as hard core and the Urban Decay stuff (although still good), but does allow the blending thing to be easier.

Okay, that's it.  I'm done. :)
