Nikki has inspired me to blog; however, I'm trying not to mention her too much since her blog is fierce, in both appearance and content. well played, nicole. well played.
Now that my ashlee simpson 'living in the shadow' moment is over, lets move on to my day.
I'm not going to mention any names here, but I am going to tell a story about myself. Lets call me, Nancy.
I don't know about you guys, but I don't enjoy peeing my pants. Neither does Nancy. She especially doesn't like it if it occurs at an inopportune moment (ie, talking about your new book on the Oprah Show, on your wedding night, or at any other time you are not in a bathroom). Nancy's time was on one of her first days at work, a clothing store we'll call Harlotte Moose.
The reason I'm posting the story, despite how ridiculously awkward it will be for her in the future, is because she handled it like a freakin' champ. Removing the light blue jeans (yes, she was wearing light blue jeans, making the situation 2 to 7 times more hilarious, and sending it to the sitcom qualifier round), she first considered splashing water all over her person and blaming faulty piping. Knowing there would be serious holes in the story, such as the suspicious area that was splashed, Nancy soaked the jeans in water, rung them out, and put them back on. Now, if you're a genius like me/Nancy, you will see how this move has made the jeans simply look a shade darker, instead of crotchdamp (<-real word).
Besides boasting of how tastefully Nancy handled a situation that she really shouldn't be having to face for another 60 years, I also believe this story goes well with the title I chose for my blog: Cry, Breathe, Smile. Those three words were the first things I thought when I took a polaroid of the sky in Lincoln. I love this picture, it put things in perspective. That includes realizing how theraputic making fun of yourself is, and how it makes every day easier to laugh at the rough stuff.
p.s. if you don't believe me that crotchdamp is a real word, look it up
p.p.s. hahahahah you totally looked it up! ohhhh boy. hahah!
::sigh:: good times.

Officially the first post of your blog. Sweet. Also, thanks for the shout out. I'm glad you appreciate (or at least approve) of my blog--appearance and content-wise. Thanks.
And I laughed out loud at the Ashlee Simpson thing. haha.
And you'd better watch out about how much you make fun of the Mom/Nikki stuff. Some day you'll catch yourself doing it. You can't argue with genes, baby.
And tell Nancy I feel bad for her. That must have been terribly embarrassing.
Oh my gosh. Nancy is hilarious. She should go on last comic standing. For real.
And I'm jealous that your 'Living in the Shadow' feelings have now been transferred to Nikki. I'm officially no longer needed.
wait - why was I not considered for a 'Living in the Shadow' moment?!?!
Kristina, I need you for those.
More than you know.
man, that was a great character. the lisp is really what defined the roll. kind of like how the geico gecko would just be creepy without his delightful english charm
TEN BUCKS JAKE LEFT THAT COMMENT! Only he would appreciate that lisp. and yes, it totally made that character.
