Freakin (Great Links) Friday Installment 23

Freakin (Great Links) Friday Installment 23 I think Ive given up on having sausages represent links. Were moved onto dashunds. These guys are wearing outfits! How silly! Guess what, people? Its FRI-DAY! And you know what that means, right? Fun Friends Freakin Great Links! Yknow how Ive been freakin out stuff this week? Instead of being a big scaredy cat, Im going to Run Towards The Roar, thanks to Nicole on Unscripted. But along the way, Ill listen to the winks that Laura from More in You pointed out to me. Thanks, guys. Let Carolyn from a beautiful ripple effect share some of her inspirational sparks. Caution: only click on this if you have an hour to go through the awesome sites she links through, and to have a think about where you find your inspiration. I know the entire freakin world has seen Susan Boyle sing I Dreamed a Dream on Britains Got Talent by now, but if you havent, you MUST watch it to experience the joy yourself. If youve seen it, just take the 7 minutes watch it again. Think of the thing you have within you that you least expect, and then wonder if its time to unleash it on the world (HINT: The answer is YES!). Step away from the G-Rated family entertainment head over to The Bloggess, whose first advice column is genius (I totally called it). If that doesnt offend you enough, read Eve Ensler doesnt want to hear about your vagina. Think about how unfunny you are youre totally funny in a different way that many lots of people enjoy. If vaginas arent your thing, maybe tweenbots are. According to the website, theyre human-dependent robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination displayed on a flag, and rely on people they meet to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal. Originally designed to just roll around die without getting to their destination, New Yorkers once again proved their awesomeness by taking care of the tweenbots and getting them home safely. New York, I have a crush on you. CCCs charity auction is in full swing on ebay! Im so thrilled/honored/ecstatic/ridiculously excited that my Growth Spurt package is up for auction alongside a slew of amazing artwork, jewelry, an organizational guru! If youve been thinking of coaching with me, or if your house/ears are way ugly/unadorned, why not treat yourself and an amazing cause at once? Cautious its only a kinda OK cause not an amazing one? Proceed with the smack-down: 100% of the proceeds will go directly to a college scholarship for a young adult cancer survivor who cannot afford tuition for many reasons: Because of the cost of treament, because their parents have spent their life savings on medical care, because they are too ill to keep a job, because they cant get other scholarships because of declining grades during illness See? Amazing! Duh. I just signed up for Jamie Ridlers June book club, The Next Chapter.   Ive watched 2 awesome books be book clubbed (is that a verb?) by this virtual group, I was thrilled that Wreck This Journal by Keri Smith is their next book, it doesnt start until June! No excuses this time except to make a big fat mess! Lastly, Lukes new episode of The Golden Girls will be repeated tonight at 11:30p at The Magnet Theater in midtown Manhattan! Please spread the word to all your NY friends were afraid the time will drive the old people away! OK, Im afraid because this old person is usually sleeping by then, but Im in the freakin show so Ill be there! Nut up, people, get your cheesecake on! This weekend is supposed to be gorgeous in NYC, Ill be armed with Brooklyn Open Houses a new fall jacket. (Yes, I needed it for spring. Dont ask questions.) Try to keep up!
