last week i asked y'all out in blog land to ask me whatever question you would like. i really should have posted the answers a lot sooner, but i'm a big old jerk and got a little too busy with my schoolwork. so now the truth is about to be shared. since i am currently working, and should probably be doing work related activities, this will probably take a series of blogs to get all the answers out there. if while reading this, you think of other things you want to ask me... feel free. i kind of really like this question and answer thing. i'm considering making it a semi-regular part of my blog. (well, that really depends on whether you guys actually want any more info on me, lol!) here goes nothing:
from erin: what are the five bands you wish more people would give a listen to and why?
- first would be rylo. this is a band local to norfolk, virginia. they also happen to be four of the best looking guys in the world, and my friends. they have a sound like no other and seeing them live is a MUST!
- umm, zox is an absolutely amazing band. they started in my area and have been doing an excellent job touring and making many CDs. in the past few years, some of their music has been used on MTV shows like the real world, etc. also seeing them in concert is like an out of body experience; its like nothing else!
- another one of my absolute favorites is virginia coalition, also known as vaco. i think in the past year or so, they lost a member. i've missed the past two concerts in my area, so i haven't seen them too recently. but their music is perfect. i usually love every song on every CD, and their shows are great to be at as well. i'm pretty pissed i've missed their past few shows in the area because i'm a major fan.
- next, i would say regina specktor. she has gotten slightly popular in the past year or so, but her music is different. its egdy, well written and soulful.
- finally, i would say to check out bobby doran. he's an old friend who is now preforming predominately on the west coast. he is soulful and serious and fun and just the total package! plus, he's a looker, so you west coast ladies just might want to check him out ;)
from justin: what is it that you look for in a blog that piques your interest? (sorry i don't have the link to your blog, or i would post it!!)
well, this is tough because my Reader is really varied. a few months ago when i was reading though all my subscriptions, i realized that i like a lot of mommy blogs. i thought this was a little ironic because... i don't have children. i guess its because i love babies and one of my greatest ambitions is to be a great mother one day with lots of babies. plus, most of my friends and family are currently in the baby making stage. next i guess i would say i like to read a lot of wedding planning blogs. i used to do a lot of event planning, and i am looking to get back in the business. reading these blogs keeps me interested and current with trends and ideas. the rest of the blogs i read are people i have "met" through 20something bloggers. (love y'all) or people who i have stumbled upon along the way. i guess what piques my interest are interesting people, as easy as that may sound. i think i like to feel emotionally attached to certain blogs. i know that sounds corny, but i like to feel like i know the people writing, even if we haven't met. i guess their writing is effective because it keeps me interested: i want to know more about whats happening in their every day life. i guess my favorite bloggers right now are: e.p. , mrs. ruby, lucky in love and life, the goddess of everything, miss musing, christine, and tattooed dorothy. i'm sure this list will change here and there, but i guess these people are the ones whom i am invested in at this time.
first, i'll just say i love my questions! they are so hard to answer, because i want to make sure i pick "just the right answer" its so difficult! but yea, i do love answering these questions...i feel like a semi-celebrity!
more answers to follow shortly ;)

Also going to have to check out the bands. Been listening to some Regina Spektor for a while as my SIL introduced me to her CD. We have a playlist with her and a lot of crazy stuff like Stolen Babies, The Vincent Black Shadow, and Kate Nash - the classic being Caroline is a Victim - blah blah blah. Good times new music everyone is happy!
And I am so honored to be on your faves list!
