5. The Spice Girls Promote Safe Sex

Ok, the concert was AMAZING, but more on that later (I want to write a super intense post about it, and I don’t have time right now–I have to get to the library to take back a bunch of overdue Non-fiction DVDs including “Gay Republicans” which was totally fascinating) but I wanted to start my series of Top 5 things I love love love about the Spice Girls because they are totally fabulous:

numero five: They promote safe sex! especially in their song”2 become 1″ which is so lovely. That’s right–”Be a little bit wiser, baby. Put it on, Put it on”

the video is soooo pretty, sigh, I miss the day when I could just turn on mtv or vh1 and watch music videos all day.

What Do You Like About Yourself?

This post is going to be a feel warm and fuzzy post, so if you are not in the mood to be happy I suggest you turn away from your computer right….NOW.

OK, now that we’ve weeded out all the moan n’ groaners, let’s begin.

Do you ever have a moment when you’re just like “I really like myself!”?  I hope you do.  I have them every now and then (I like myself all the time, but don’t always acknowledge it) and it is a wonderful awesome feeling!  I’m going to go ahead and list some things that I like about myself:

1) I read a lot.  Reading makes me so happy, especially when I get to read a new book!  Nothing is better than taking time to read something from one of your favorite authors.  And I like that I still free read - I feel like I’m in an exclusive club.

2) I catch myself dancing and mouthing the words to songs in public.  Sure, you may think I’d feel stupid, but instead I feel kind of special, because people are looking at me and I like to think that maybe I’ve given them something to laugh about now or later on.

3) I like math and am good at it.  Seriously, when I’m working really hard on a good math problem my ears turn red because of the focus that’s going on up there.

4) I have really nice friends.  My mom told me once that you attract people who have similar personalities to you.  My friends are really nice, ergo I am really nice.  It makes me feel good to think that people probably think I’m really nice.

5) I can procrastinate like crazy but still get everything I need to done on time.  This is probably not the best thing in the world, but I still like it.  I think it’s kind of funny that I have to wait until crunch time to get things done,  but there’s a reason my dad calls me Last Minute Lindsay.  Sometimes I wish I can be super organized and disciplined (w00t Alison), but then I probably wouldn’t have half as much fun as I do (like when we played baseball in the office with an easter egg as the ball and a sharpie as the bat).

I want everyone to post at least one thing that they like about themselves in the comments page.  It will seriously make you feel good about yourself and give your step a little bounce today!

P.S.  I totally did 5 things I like about myself because there are 5 spice girls.  I’m Baby Spice pretty much every single day…but maybe I can start being Posh every now and then.

A spicy taste of what’s to come

Be prepared, nerdy folks. I predict that after tomorrow this blog will be overrun with Spice Girls posts. Why? thank you for asking: BECAUSE LINDSAY AND I (AND OUR BFF SHEILA) ARE SEEING A SPICE GIRLS CONCERT TOMORROW!!!! I have dreaming of this moment since I , wide-eyed and squeeful (although squeeful wasn’t yet a word in my vocabulary since this was about three years before I became a Harry Potter and like ten years before I began to listen to Pottercast), first watched what I considered one of the best music videos of our age–”Wannabe.” Oh what colorful outfits! what backflips! what laughter! what climbing over the laps of rich, British upper-class! Even better, I think the first time I saw the video was on Vh1’s Pop Up video (best show EVER)–I don’t think I was allowed to watch Mtv yet in sixth grade, only Vh1???–but now that I think about it: I’m not sure my parents ever told me not to watch Mtv–that was a rule I placed upon myself–hmmm nice to know I am ridiculously obedient and follow even the unsaid rules. Anyway, I must have decided that I was mature enough in 7th grade because that is when I became addicted to TRL, or Mtv Live for those who remember.

Anyways, I, like many other girls, decided I WAS a Spice Girl. However which one changed from day to day–today I am Baby Spice, however usually I am Ginger Spice or Scary Spice–for the 6th grade talent show I was Sporty Spice because I had an orange halter swimsuit top. Wonder if that would fly in an elementary school today? Ha, and I remember when we first told our sixth grade teacher that we wanted to be the Spice Girls–she gave us a really weird look thinking we meant the girls off the SPICE channel. ooooh memories.
