Day 24: A movie no one would expect you to love

Netflix has decided that I like Witty Romantic Coming of Age Teen comedies. Thats pretty specific. I LOVE 80s movies, that is expected of me. I love raunchy comedies and romantic comedies. A few movies that I have in my collection that surprises people are.

Meet me In St Louis

PCU

Smoky and the Bandit

Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

(Maybe I Love Burt Reynolds)

Day 23: How I want to be remembered

When you think about yourself you only want to focus on the positive aspects of your personality. I have thought long and hard about this post, which is why it took me so long to actually sit down and write it. I feel like my personality is ever evolving and I dont want to think about being remembered right now. Back in junior high I was remembered as the girl who desperately wanted to be 'cool'. I talked too much and said stupid things but craved acceptance. The boys found me highly obnoxious because I didnt know how to lay low.

People from high school probably remember me as being very active. I was in many clubs and held offices in almost all of them. I was yearbook photographer and hosted the school television program (no one remembers me for that because no one watched it). I was even in my high school beauty pageant(that had to be rigged).

College helped me become my own person. I hope I am remembered for being a party queen. A Legend if you will. I hope that the stories of my crazy antics are still spread throughout that campus.

Now, as an adult. I want people to think of me as a caring and hospitable person. I want people to acknowledge the witty charm that I think I have. I want people to appreciate my photography and cooking skills. I strive to be someone that people always want to hang out with and be best friends with. I want my friends now to look back on this time in our lives and say, "I had this friend named Christie and she was SO MUCH FUN, man we had good times".

Fall Style

I was asked by my friend Stephanie to help style a fall photo shoot. Here is what we came up with. I wanted to share. Go to her blog to see what your family should wear this fall. Because Coastal Belle said its the cool stuff to wear. I'm the new Michael Kors. Check it out

Surfer Boy

Its time for another iheartfaces weekly photo competition. This is a photo I took of my then beau on Hermosa Beach, CA. It was a great day because I flew out to Cali to drive back across country with him. This was the day of my arrival. I watched the sun rise on the east coast at the Savannah airport and set on this beautiful beach. I shot this with a nikon coolpix camera, nothing flashy or expensive. There has been no photoshopping or touching up in this photo. Just a great evening on the beach and beautiful scenery.

Day 22: A website

My favorite website to kill time and exercise my brain is www.Sporcle.com

This site is full of quizes. It will give you a category and sometimes clues and you have to fill in the blanks. Spelling counts. My favorite is name all of the presidents in a minute. Name all of the countries in the world. Try it, it will probably make you feel stupid but you can learn form the quizzes.

the sun never sets on being a badass

My good friend Stephanie is my photography mentor. Often times when I talk to professional photographers about my amateur photography they get mad because I have paid gigs. I dont understand this. Stephanie has supported me from day 1 and is always there to offer advice. She isnt competitive with me, she is a lot better than me which is probably why! She enters these photo contests and I want to be more serious about my passion so I am entering the Iheartfaces week 33 photo contest. I've never done this before and hope I do it right. This weeks contest is sunglasses. I chose a photo from a fashion shoot I did for Custard Boutique. This is my friend Ana walking some strangers dog in the park. here is my entry

Day 21: Something you know you do differently than most people

I know other people that do this but not MOST people. My nephew does it too. I like to think he gets it from me. When I eat meals I eat one thing at a time on my plate. I dont like for my food to touch. Even more importantly I eat in a clockwise order if I'm eating off a plate. Weird I know but at least I can say it runs in the family!
