Sometimes, you know, when I'm trying to study for my PHD this guy with a boom box comes into the library and I just gotta dance. It gets my body started! So maybe, just maybe God is telling me that I need to dance!
About me: I'm taller then I seem, I'm a double 11 according to my numerology chart and sometimes when I unzip my sweater popcorn kernals fall out...those times are embarrassing.
Who I'd like to meet: Geniuses who look nice in suits. Fat kids who will grow up to change the world, awesome makers, taco makers, pianos, elves, my maker, smart people.anyone who can fit in a purse
I'm a genius. I have a t-shirt that says so, so obviously, it's totally irrefutable. But if I put on a suit... I'd have to take off the T-shirt... therefore losing my genius status. Omg, conundrum?
Susan Burke! Congrats on the website. I just took a look-see at it, and it's beautiful (and super thanks for the linkage), but it wouldn't let me leave a comment on your OWL blog but I tried! I really did. Also extra congrats on your and Hari's show. I really wished I lived 3,000 miles farther west so I could come see it! The end!
hey girl thought id drop by and say hi nad see how things are going. Everything is going good here my hubby gets home in about 2 weeks so im excited! take care
Also, your hipster/hobo video is tres magnifique (insert gesture that chefs do where they kiss their squished fingers with their mouth to signify culinary brilliance)! Can't wait to see what the Country Club has in store next...
It was wonderful to meet your radiance, Ms. Burke! Let's do an ESP lunch sometime soon in which our minds meld but our stomachs don't! Sorry I don't know what that last line meant...it's Monday?
