In Which I Cop To Being A Dork
I subscribe to:
Better Homes and Gardens
Family Circle
Traditional Home
I’m also addicted to catalogs. I arrange them into neat stacks under my favorite reading chair. One stack has pages flagged with things I am more likely to buy, the other stack is the first to get thrown out.
I can’t get into scrapbooking. I’d like to… I really would. They have cute stuff for scrapbooking at the craft store, but I just don’t think I can be that organized.
I used to make my own soap… no really, I did. With lye, essential oils, etc. etc. Why don’t I now? Meh… it takes too much patience, measuring, etc.
I haven’t been there in a couple of weeks, but I am slightly addicted to Pogo. I’ve actually found that playing the games over there can be a huge stress release. It’s a great way for me to clear my head and exercise my brain in other directions.
This is my Pogo mini.

Your catalog obsession is a little weird.
Whew. I feel so much better having said that now.

Hmm…
I hate to rain on your parade, but your dork pedigree seems a little week. I don’t think any of that is really too bad.
You may have to face the fact that you are *gasp* relatively normal.

Or “weak”. Sigh. Stupid synonyms.
March 4, 2008 @ 8:25 am
Homonyms! FUCK!

I’ve gotta agree with Mr. Fabulous, catalogs and Pogo are very normal.
Dorks tend to know things like the origin of the line “Shiny, lets be bad guys” and laugh at the joke “I’m a rock on the wind, watch me drop”

Marissa - Serenity/Firefly!
Amy, that’s not really that dorky. My Amy does the same thing with catalogs, and we subscribe to several home-related magazines.
Oh no, you’re a dork for a whole slew of other reasons, though.

So I have you to blame for the recent influx of:
*Adam and Eve “brochures?
*Frederick’s of Hollywood catalogs?
*Newport News magazines?
I should have figured as much.

Pfft, NO! I sent THOSE to your husband.
You can thank me for Garnet Hill, Crate and Barrel, Room Service Home, the 8 different versions of Pottery Barn, and some other thing that I don’t remember.

OK… so you arrange the catalogs in neat stacks, have pages flaffed with things you are more likely to buy and have another stack with catalogs likely to be thrown out first… and you think you can’t be organized enuff for scrapbooking? ummm… sure, ok, whatever you say…

If you notice a sudden spike in your stats, pay them no mind.
That would be me refreshing this page CONSTANTLY to make sure I haven’t missed a post or something.
March 5, 2008 @ 10:12 am
Holy fuck I am dedicated.
March 5, 2008 @ 10:19 am
Ugh. I tried scrapbooking once…. yuk. It’s daunting being organized and assembling everything - not to mention the necessary talent required!! I buy premades from the artists!
March 6, 2008 @ 8:16 am
Don’t forget the part about changing your candals by scents to match the season - that is my favorite quirk of yours!
March 6, 2008 @ 10:28 am
DB- BUT! BUT! That’s different… it involves SHOPPING!!!
Miss B -
you are VERY dedicated.
Nanna - Britt told you about that? LOL Yeah, I am getting ready to switch all of my wallflowers to a more spring-like scent. I’m on the last of Aspen Winter now and it’s not fitting in with 70 and sunshine.
