I am.. inspired by Christina Aguilera.
Open a new tab, turn up your speakers, and read on.. Today’s post is brought to you by the song ‘I Am’ – from Christina Aguilera’s upcoming album Bionic. A beautiful mid-tempo songs about recognising the layers and traits, strengths and weaknesses we each have that make us who we are.
But I’m not going to go all deep and philo-ma-sophical on you here and tell you my feelings. Well, I will. But through TV, and movies, and music. Please do share your own quirks! ;)
1) I am.. the type to fall for every ‘heart-throb’ that is on any show, or any movies. The characters that are too good to be true, even if they do silly things (I’m looking at you Jesse St James) I can’t switch off the eyes-glazed-heart-beating-fast puppy-love.
2) Along with number 1, I coined the term ‘squimper’. A squeal plus a whimper. The squeal of excitement, delight, surprise along with a whimper of the realisation that I just fell in love/lust/high school crush. SQUIMPER. Spread the word.
3) I am..the type to associate a song with a movie or TV show forever after if it plays at any time. Any time I hear a song, I’ll remember the exact scene it played in. Remember 13 Going On 30 (annoying re-named to Suddenly 30 in Australia) – how can you not hear Michael Jackson’s Thriller without visualising Jennifer Garner doing the dance?!
4) I am..not a talker at the cinema, you won’t hear me answering my phone, and I’ll always try to open my choc-top in the quiet explodey moments of a film (or something equally noisy) but you will hear me gasp, or whimper in the cute romantic moments, or squeak a bit (well, trying to hold back a shriek watching a horror movie is hard – a squeak comes out!).
5) I am..always wondering how I can get smokey eyes like Charlize Theron’s in Hancock, or hair like Buffy’s in season 2 (not season 4), and wishing I could look as glamorous as ANY actress, at their worst – you know how Jen Garner, and Sarah Michelle Gellar look AMAZING even when they cry? EPIC ENVY.
So.. what quirky traits will you own up to? Leave a comment, or post it on your blog!
