Happy Kwanzaa!

These cards express how I feel about this holiday. Kind of.

And of all the Kwanzaa things out there (didn't do the Googling to see if there are really THAT many), this is my favorite. It's NSFW or around kids, so press play with caution.

On The Twelfth Day of Tweepmas...

Twitter brought to me...

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC!

Yes, he's still making music. See?

Since this is the last day of Tweepmas, I'm giving you the twelve things I learned from his Tweets.

Yeah, so why do we still have nerds look like that on TV and in movies? I think the current nerd tell is fancy car and hot girlfriend. You know, because nerds are rich. They're also hiring the people who made fun of them. Maybe Beyonce was wrong? It's nerds, not girls, who rule the world?

Looks like a store clerk was having fun stocking the shelves!

That's better than dying in a the hands of a surgeon cutting for the very first time.

I can see how this would be a tough choice, but I think the tomato soup probably has less aftertaste.

I don't know what this episode of Modern Family is about, but if there's not an Al and Cam musical bit, I might be disappointed. Unless they're both clowns.

Also wrong: having The Passion of The Christ next to Purple Rain.

I'm kind of impressed that he's been holding onto those discs all this time! I suppose it's possible that's some random photo found on the internet. I don't even know how you could use one of those discs now. Are they recyclable? Maybe AOL shouldn't have spent all that money mailing those things. They might still be a player on the interwebs.

If they knew how delicious deep fried Twinkies were, they'd be on board and start sharing them with their friends who are too afraid to come to our planet!

This is how we die. At least it will be delicious.

Considering the other allegations against Herman Cain, this might be the better deal.

Really? I thought they hated us for those bratty reality shows (looking at you Jersey Shore)!

Hmm. Is that why their burgers are so delicious? Nope. Can't do that. It's Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

I have either gotten up early to open presents and was disappointed my family was not up yet, so I put this post together - OR I did it before hand and set it on a timer. You'll never know! Still, I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas!

Thanks for checking out my blog! Now, if you want to give me a gift, click one of the boxes at the bottom of the post or write in the comments so I know you were here!

On The Eleventh Day of Tweepmas...

Twitter brought to me...

TAYLOR SWIFT!

I don't really love her music, but I think she's a great young lady! She never shows too much skin. She's positive. And she seems super nice! Don't believe me? Here are eleven things I learned from her Tweets.

She's a wrapper! And a REALLY good one! Would a naughty girl put that much care into presenting a gift? NO. Things aren't just slapped into a gift bag with some tissue paper (not that there's anything wrong with that). Those gifts are so pretty, if I was given one, I wouldn't even care what was inside. I might just keep it wrapped - unless I was told there was chocolate inside. Then, all bets are off!

I <3 that store SO much! If I won a million dollars, I would buy out the place - starting with the fancy knives, then working my way to the copper cookware (but only if they come with someone to drop by the house and polish them on the regular). Like Taylor, I usually settle for the edibles. They're affordable and ALWAYS yummy!

You straight hair people have NO idea what this means. When you have curls, getting a good haircut and a nice blowout is, like, the best day! Taylor is much braver than I am. I don't do bangs because when I wear curls, it looks like I have antennas. Cute when I was a kid. As a lady, I look a little homelessy.

Why have I never done this? I want to have a snow globe party!

I still don't get this "writing on my arm" business, but it's a little cuter with a kitten in the picture!

This is why you should never limit yourself to just one genre of music. Appreciate every bit of it (even if it's just the teeniest bit) because that's what musicians do! Haven't you ever seen an episode of "Crossroads?" And CMT, if you're reading this, how about you release those episodes as albums so I can have 'em on my iPod?

Um, yeah the sharks can totally hear you! My approach to sharks is very similar to Elmer Fudd and his, "Be bary bary quiet. I'm hunting rabbits!" approach. If I don't say a word, sharks will never know that I am:

scared of them
worried they'll eat me in my dreams
worried they'll eat me in real life (which is why I don't get in murky water)

If popping bubble wrap doesn't make you happy, you need medication.

What??! is right! I don't know how those work, but I'd like someone to send me some so I can find out!

TRUTH. Without friends, you're nothing!

Woah. I seriously love my friends and trust them to be my conscience. But I am not letting ANY of them come at me with a pair of scissors unless I have left a tag on my clothing. Still, it looks like Taylor gave Liz some pretty good bangs. So, maybe, just maybe, if Taylor and I ever become friends, I'll let her give my hair a trim.

On The Tenth Day of Tweepmas...

Twitter gave to me...

QUESTO!

Some of you may only know him from that little mishap involving a song and Michele Bachmann. He's so much more than that! But, if that's your only exposure, allow me to introduce you to him through these ten Tweets.

This might be true. I'd try it if I had a tree (I'm refusing to buy one until science makes a tree that doesn't drop needles from the minute you get it in the door through six months after it's gone). Also, this sounds like it could be a hangover cure (minus the tree water).

BEST. GINGERBREAD. COOKIES. EVER. Um, these could also be me when I wake up in the morning. Seriously, my hair is out of control in the AM!

I'm gonna 4th this. Ever since I saw that Behind The Music on Missy, all I've wanted is some new music from her. My iPod craves it!

I will never understand why jerks follow people they don't like/constantly disagree with. Why would you want to get all worked up over something like that? Power to the people who block those losers instead of engaging them!

Those might be the only things that are what they claim to be at Red Lobster. And they're the only things I'll eat there.

Me, too! I once had Amazon Tweet at me and I thought it was the puppets from the commercials! Then, I was impressed that puppet fingers could type. Which is crazy. Or is that me?

I'd like to be the first to make this the Dr. Pepper Generation! Then, I could put a "Dr." in front of my name and make people think I finally have a "real" job!

If this doesn't keep you from eating Hot Pockets, nothing will. WARNING: DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK IF YOU'RE EATING.

Seriously - I <3 this album so much, I'm looking forward to my holiday road trip so I can listen to it 1.5 times each way!

I mean, really! Nothing makes me feel more OCD than a glimpse at my iPhone and iPod screens! I feel like I am constantly cleaning them - even though I have the screen protectors on them (only prevents scratches - not prints). And while I don't have big fingers (I've seen ladies with MUCH larger hands than mine), why do the keys have to be so small? Is this why autocorrect exists - because they knew the keys were small?
