"Selling Yourself "
Episode 1

Happy Birthday to My Favorite Person in the World

After I left the following comment on BBL's blog,
I knew I had to save it for another time to post on my own...

I am really happy that I did.


Lauren asked who our favorite person was as a giveaway entry question.


This was my response:

"My favorite person in the world isn't my cat as many would think.

Nor is it a hottie actor or my BFFs.


She is my grandma. 

The woman is kind, brilliant and inspiring if I only could use three words.


I like to think of her as my twin soul.

If I can grow up to be even half as awesome as her, I shall be very proud!"

Dear future husband,

love, a loving but insane future wife.

HAPPY (eightyfreakinthird) BIRTHDAY, 

GRANDMAGRANDMA!

<3

Ed Westwick interview for Now Magazine UK

 I found this in my drafts from back in 2010.
Other than the fact that Ed Westwick is a total hottie,

not so sure why it was in there...

Ed interview for Now Magazine UK

How do you feel about Chuck and Blair’s relationship?
– “I think they’re meant to be together; they’re just as bad as each other! It’s pretty self-destructive at times, but they thrive on it and whatever you have to do to get your kicks…At the end of the day it comes down to living on the edge or not living at all.”
What was it like kissing a boy during the last series?
– “Fine. there was no stubble as he was pretty clean-shaven. I’ve kissed women who’ve had more stubble than that.”
If you and Penn Badgley had an arm wrestle, who’d win?
– “Probably Penn because he’s been working out loads and he’s got pretty big. I’ve got weak shoulders, it’s weird! They used to dislocate all the time.”
Have you ever stolen anything from Chuck’s wardrobe?
– “They gave me a suit once, but I’ve never stolen anything. Maybe underwear because I show up without it and have to put it on. I don’t usually wear underwear. It’s more comfortable and free to air it all out.”
When you’re working crazy hour, which do you prefer: sleep or sex?
– “Sleep or sex? Sex, man. Straight up. Sex, then sleep. I’ve got a great appetite for… um, everything.”
Are we going to see you topless?
– “Yeah, why not? And, you know, I’m not even scared of full-frontal nudity.”
Are you a gym junkie?
– “I definitely work out, but mainly just to make me feel good. You feel good after you exercise; it’s more of a stress reliever than anything else.”
How do you define romance?
– “Butterflies and surprises. Romance is about keeping the surprise and butterflies represent, setting something up for someone. And passion.”
What’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever done?
– “I’ve done a couple things. I’ve written a little three-word description on a card. That’s a bit shit. I covered a hotel in really expensive roses and Dom Perignon and Cristal. Yeah, things like that. I like little gestures like that.”
What quality do you like most about your girlfriend Jessica Szohr?
– “I don’t really want to get into that, but she’s gorgeous. It’s all good, man.”
Snog, marry, or avoid: Kristen Stewart, Cheryl Cole, Lily Allen.
– “I’d snog Kristen and marry Cheryl Cole. Is the last one shagging? No? Then I’d snog Lily Allen. I can’t avoid woman – not those three, anyway.”
If you could spy on another celebrity for a day, who would it be?
– “I think I’d probably spy on Prince Harry, he’s a pretty cool guy. I’d like to know what kind of things he gets up to.”
Robert Pattinson hysteria is crazy. Would you want that level of fame?
– “I’ve already experienced girls screaming my name, so I wouldn’t say it’s too alien, but I think Rob’s in a very difficult situation. He’s a friend and he’s a good guy. I know him, so I know for a fact that he wants to be known for his work.”
If you had 24 hours to live, what would you do?
– “I’d jump out of a plane. I’m not afraid of heights, I just don’t get it. I guess I’m going to die anyway.”

Oh right. THAT is why I saved it!

Where have all the pen-pals gone?

Bow ties have become cool...again!

Shopping vintage has taken over our wardrobes...

So where have all the pen-pals gone?

Admittedly the only time I was ever a good pen-pal

was with my first LDBFF Mariely on mySpace but I want to try again!

I want to bring back snail mail, if not only in my mail slot!

Now I realise that this is the internet.

I don't want EVERYONE & their creeper pedo family member

having my address and I am too cheap for a P.O.Box just yet...

So I want to devise a questionnaire for my eFriends to fill out and email me...

Then after a few emails, we can swap snail mail addresses if we are both up to it!

Of course, some of you I have known longer than others

so you may not feel like we need to email for as long but still

"Safety. Safety first, then teamwork."

Without furthur ado & pictures via tumblr...

The "Be My Pen-Pal" Questionnaire

1. Who are you?

2. How Which website did we meet on?

3. How do you feel about my crazy cat lady tendancies?

4. What will we fangirl over in our letters? (Even if you are male.)

5. Any other pertinent information to our pen-pal-dom!

Please answer the questions and email them to me!

My public/blog email is

katofdiamondsblogs@gmail.com

OR

 If you believe we can skip the lots of emails

Feel free to answer the questions in the comments and

leave an email addy that you are okay with giving the internet.

I just though the email option was more private and anon.

Sixty Second September

A "sorry it has been so long but I am still cheating on blogger here" Post

Okay.

I have been an avid vlogger longer than a blogger,

so when it comes to internet-cheating I always cheat with YouTube.

This month is my 3rd year participating in Sixty Second September.

SSS is where YouTubers post 1 video of 60secs (or less) everyday of September.

This year I have just decided to post a <60second video on days I feel like editing!

Here are my favorite videos so far!

So if you like some of them, feel free to visit my channel

and subscribe watch more!

Another post will be up Wednesday!

Tumblr is a jem.
