No matter which quiz I take…
I get the same answer. I think the universe is trying to tell me something…

Don'tcha wanna be a geek like me?
So, for months I’ve been planning my complete and total media blackout for the weekend of July 21. My preordered Harry Potter should be on its way and I’ll be sitting on my front stairs waiting for it ’til it gets here.
Then, I’m gonna read. And read. And read.
The TV will not go on ’til I’m done. Neither will the computer, the radio, or pretty much any other type of media source that could possibly spoil the ending for me. I will not go near a Chapters so that some random idiot can yell out a car window who dies at the end of the book. I will *NOT* be spoiled.
Turns out? I’m not the only one. In a way? That’s kinda scary…

Trash the what, now?
A few weeks ago I came across this website.
Essentially, once the wedding is all said and done, instead of paying big bucks to store a dress they’re never gonna wear again, and taking up space in an already overflowing closet, women are doing photo shoots in odd locations, like a Louisiana swamp or the Pacific ocean, and essentially trashing their dresses for the sake of, well, a really awesome pile of pictures.
I ran a poll on the Rogers Yahoo! today module with a news feature about the site, asking if readers would trash their dresses for the sake of art or are they treasuring that dress always… An overwhelming 70% said, no, no way, uh-uh to the dress trashing.
Me? I’m not sure if I’d do it. It’d have to be a location that was pretty meaningful to either me or to me and my groom… and it’d have to be a really awesome photographer. I wouldn’t want to go through all that hassle and ruin a dress I spent a huge amount of money on for crappy pictures.
What about you? Would you trash your dress? Why or why not?
