Shannon's Crazy

And here is #7’s entry. Aaron T. Gale. My new BFF!!!

1. WHY YOU?

Who cares about this stupid election? We all know it doesn’t matter who gets elected Winner of this contest. Do you really think it’s going to change anything around here; make one single person smarter or happier or nicer? The only person it does matter to is the one who gets elected. The same pathetic charade happens every year, and everyone makes the same pathetic promises just so they can put it on their transcripts to get into Taylor Swift Concert. So vote for me, because I am already going to Taylor Swift in Denver, and I don’t care, and as winner I won’t do anything. The only promise I will make is that if elected I will immediately dismantle the competition, so that none of us will ever have to sit through one of these stupid concerts again! (hint thats from a movie)

2. HOW MANY SONGS DO YOU KNOW?

Embarrassingly enough I don’t think their is a Taylor Swift song I don’t know. In fact I am sure that not only can I sing like her but can probably stampede like an elephant on stage just like her and…. if my hair were longer…. awkwardly sashay it side to side on my head more times than is needed….”if you could see that I’m the one who understands you…”

3. HOW LOUD WILL YOU SING?

My voice is pretty loud, never on key except for the occasional mistake when I hit the same note as the person i am trying to imitate but nevertheless the question isn’t how well I sing but how loud….I am more than willing to bring something to enhance it as well… something along the lines of a megaphone…. home-made and bejeweled ORANGE AND BLACK to represent your ties to the Oilers (go VIKINGS) of course.

4. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT SCREAMING KIDS?

More importantly how do they feel about me? From experience with my four nieces and nephews all under 3 years old I have learned to block them out when need be…be patient when possible and when all else fails Scream along at the appropriate times. These kids at the concert wont know what hit them.

5. IF YOU COULD BE ANY ARTIST WHO WOULD YOU BE?

I’m going to turn this around on you a little bit…. hear me out. Okay so you told Turi at your HBHS GIRLS REUNION (yes i know you didnt go there) that you wanted to be my BFF… well everyone on planet earth knows the answer to this question that has ever met me… If I win this GOLDEN TICKET maybe we can go to HER concert next.

6. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT MATCHING OUTFITS?

I love matching outfits…it will be like Sadie Hawkins 1999 when you were a Senior and I was the younger male Junior and we both went as sexual active trombone players together ( you were so young and beautiful then and still are)…in fact i still have the outfits if we can squeeze into them over 10 years later. If we can’t then next best option…I buy us matching flasks, and we can take shots, matching one for one of course, until we cant remember the kids screaming or possibly even the concert itself and the awkward hair sashaying and her long limbs seemingly not connected to her body and to which she has no control over, and have to buy tickets to her vegas show and do it all over again just to get the full effect. YAY I CANT WAIT

Entry #6 (#5 was so good I cannot post it until ALL entries have been made) – Elshabanesha

I’m entering your contest, even though I will not be there and don’t want to go. I just want to be on your blog.

Here it is:

1.      Why you?

Because I’m pretty and I love wine.

2.      How many songs do you know?

I know A LOT of songs. Probably thousands. But if you mean TS songs specifically, I probably know about 1 ½.

3.      How loud will you sing?

Probably not very loud since I don’t know the words to most songs. But during the 1 ½ that I do know, I’ll sing my heart out.

4.      How do you feel about screaming kids?

They drive me nuts and sometimes I want to kick them.

5.      If you could be any artist in the world who would you be?

Hilary Duff. Not because she can sing, but because Andrew thinks she’s super hot and I’m sure it would make him REALLY happy if I morphed into Hilary for a day.

6.      How do you feel about wearing matching outfits?

I’d just like to remind you of the following… pink party, black and red playboy shirt party, not to mention the few times we dressed EXACTLY alike by accident. See example below: (I think these items speak for themselves).

Damn. I look young in that picture…

Anywhoooooo, Elsja you did not win.

Thank you very much Erin for your entry. Although you have quite the arguments, I will not be choosing Nikki upon your entry. If you happen to win, it will be YOU and only YOU that receives the wonderful night-o-fun!

Here it is:

1.      Why you?

a.      Why NOT me?? I’m your little sister’s BF in San Diego, Stevie’s auntie, and an all out awesome lady!  And also because I love me some Taylor Swift and if I were 19 and could do it all over again, I would SO want to be her.

2.      How many songs do you know?

a.      Way too many to even begin to count.  I also have the capability to sing the new Taylor Swift album front to back…yes it is intimidating, but it’s a fact.

3.      How loud will you sing?

a.      Loud enough for my voice to allow me to, however I am no match for you Saenz girls and your golden pipes.  I’ve seen/heard it in action…breathtaking  really ha

4.      How do you feel about screaming kids?

a.      I actually consider myself to be a screaming kid.  Especially when at a concert, all volume control goes out the window when you’re in the midst of other screaming kids all singing the same song!

5.      If you could be any artist in the world who would you be?

a.      Now I wish you would have put a time era on this one….if it was like 80s time frame, definitely a Miss Whitney Houston (pre-crazy pills and drug problems).  If it was right this very second, I’d say Lady Gaga, she’s for sure from some other planet yet so entertaining.  She’s loony!

6.      How do you feel about wearing matching outfits?

a.      Matching outfits are ALWAYS a good idea, especially when it involves homemade puffy paint t-shirts.  I’m just saying.

Well there you have it.  Thank you for opening the contest to the outside world, and again if I am chosen as the winner, take Nikki…she’ll love it

(aka Erin)

Good luck !

I  received my third entry today. Yes third. The person who entered the second entry asked to stay anonymous until after I have made my decision. She feels so confident about her writing that she does not want anyone taking liberties…

As for the third entry, well, I have to say it is another great one. Amanda O’Donnell, soon-to-be Watts has been a long time friend. And here it is:

Why you?
Because you miss me and love me so much.  Because you cannot wait to spend the most time in the world with me.  Because this could be my wedding present.

How many songs do you know?
I have heard that one song about the sneakers and do not feel badly that I am often the one to wear short skirts.

How loud will you sing?
As you are well aware (see video entry: Beautiful Singing) I will sing at the top of my lungs knowing full well I hit every 4th note in tune.  ALL BY MYSELF… DON’T WANT TO BE ALL BY MYSELF!!!!!   ANYMOREEEEEEE!!!  Chester cheetah.  ALLLLLLLL BBBBBBYYYYYYYY MMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYSELFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you feel about screaming kids?
I can deal.  I did grow up with Jason O’Donnell.

If you could be any artist in the world, who would you be?
I would be Gwen Stefani.  Because she is perfectly perfect.

How do you feel about wearing matching outfits?
Does 80’s day count?

GOOD LUCK AMANDA!

Entries due by the end of the year.

Soooooo Thanksgiving is at my house again this year. I like having it at my house. We have a good space for all the peeps. I also like making my company put on my turkey hat and say what they are thankful for. It’s a tradition. Here’s a pic from last year:

So my dilemma this year is that I am doing the Turkey Trot 5k in Long Beach on Thanksgiving morning. (I want to EAT on Thanksgiving therefore I must workout. I saw that there was a Turkey Trot and I just went for it.) Well, my job is to cook the turkey. That’s really all I have to worry about…food-wise. I am REALLY good at cooking the turkey. I have a wonderful recipe. Here is a pic of my turkey last year:

GORGEOUS!!! Now my question to you is; should I or should I not leave Dougie in charge of the turkey while I am at the 5k? He will have to baste and things…hmmmmm? It could turn out like this:

Or maybe like this:

I’m just not sure what to do??? Can he do it???

What do you think?

Two of my favorite things happened on Saturday night: A new snl AND Taylor Swift hosting! BEST SNL EVER!!! Sooooo funny. I’ll let you make up your own mind! Here are my favorite clips from the episode:

Hehehhehehe! I <3 Twilight too!!!

WONDERFUL!!!! And I love that Taylor and my favorite little werewolf are dating. So CUTE!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s a little video I made in 2 minutes (although it’s 2:41 minutes long):
