Hello to All the Happy, Shiny People

And hello to all the sad, dull kids too. I guess.

Things that have made me happy and shiny, as of late:

1. Bar-Crawl, Buffalo Style

Yes, the bar-crawl I went on in Rochester last month was merely a reproduction a much more famous bar-crawl done in Buffalo. Who runs it? I don't know. All I know is that my friend's boyfriend knows 'em and we're starting at 2PM this Saturday. We've also got a hotel, and I love staying in hotels (even thought I know they're secretly crawling with germs). Ice machine relays, anyone?

2. Helio Castroneves won Dancing With The Stars.

Thank the Lord. I wouldn't have minded if Mel B. won, she's good in her own right. But Marie Osmond? What was WITH that wacko rag-doll dance?! I mean, I get the concept, Marie. You're a "world-famous" doll designer. But some things just don't mix, like you and constructive criticism. Dolls don't dance for a reason. They are there to look pretty in their "fancy", overpriced dresses, not to bust a move. Hello, Chucky? Gross. Dancing, moving dolls are scary, bottom line.

Oh, and props to Helio, for not only winning, but for being happy and shiny while doing it. The smiley Brazilian race-car driver took home the super sparkly trophy last night. Mmmm alliteration.

3. North Carolina or BUST!!!

Yes, my pending trip to visit one of my bff's, Little Miss Sexy Sare herself, is less than a week away! I can't wait to spend some time in the south, and I've been watching Paula Dean on The Food Network to prepare. From what I've gathered so far, they eat a lot of butter, are very polite, and have an accent. ;) I can't WAIT to see for myself.

Have a good one, ya'll!
