Diagramming My Nerdom

I thought I would take this opportunity to prove my general dedication to film. Today I was thinking about how many midnight showings I've gone to dressed up for whatever movie it was... then I thought of something even more embarrassing... how many times have I just dressed up for no reason at all and taken pictures just because...? So many times that it isn't nerdy anymore, it's now AWESOME.

Don't believe me? Check out this super amazing collage of all my awesomeness at once. It may be overwhelming, but your eyes will adjust.


QUIZ TIME! Who am I? Who am I? GO!


ANSWER KEY:


DISCLAIMER: YES I know there are two Twilight related pictures. Please don't judge me. We all have guilty pleasures and if it makes you feel any better... I hate the books more than I like them most of the time.

1. This is of my friend, Caty, and I when we Cullen-ified ourselves. I'd have to say that we rocked it harder than the actual Cullens.

2. I've dressed like Audrey Hebpurn a few times, this time was for my bridal shower.

3. I did this just to show my support for TEAM CONAN during the NBC-Fail-a-thon this winter. Thumbs down NBC.

4. If you thought #4 was me doing Katherine Hepburn, you were close... it was me doing Keira doing Katherine Hepburn. Keira is ... beyond my favorite everything. I have taken many pictures trying to become her, but I always end up myself, still.

5. It's all or nothing, man. High-water pants, scrunchy sox, one glove, fedora, and Smooth Criminal! Midnight showing of This Is It! King of Pop, RIP.

6. As a HUGE Heath Ledger fan, there was no question how I was going to dress for the midnight showing of The Dark Knight. It was startling, to say the least, AFTER the movie when I went to the bathroom and saw myself in a mirror, having forgotten I was wearing that make-up.

7. A life-long love affair with Batman brought on my fascination with Catwoman. And I mean all versions of Catwoman excluding the horrendous Halle Berry version that has nothing to do with Batman or Gotham City. *barf*

8. Midnight showing of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Yarrrr!

9. Um, obviously Twilight. PRE-movie series.

10. Midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. That large man is dressed as Mad-Eye Moody, and I didn't know him at all, but I had to get a picture with him. He was kind of scary, though, as you can see on my face.

11. Marilyn Monroe, just for funzies.

How many did you get right?! It really doesn't matter who gets the answer right first... because we can all see that the true loser here is me. But I'm not ashamed! If I had my scanner hooked up, I would totally upload that picture of me in my elf ears and Hobbit shirt when I went to see Return of the King at midnight in high school. Holla!

The [not so] epic naming of this blog.

Who would have EVER thought it would be so hard to name a blog? NOT I.

A few of my friends have been encouraging me to start a blog for a while now, but I nearly gave up on creating this blog when I realized I wasn't even creative enough to come up with a name. How on Earth am I supposed to write interesting blog posts when I can't even come up with a name for the blog? Thankfully after roping 5 of my friends in and passing the time [about 40 minutes] by having NO ideas... we did it.

At first if was like this [Remember how AIM still exists?]:

Me: Man this is just fail, I can't even think of a name, how can I blog? EVER?
Matty: I know! Everything I think of is like...meh?
Me: Haha that's it! My blog can be called "Meh...?"
Matty: I would read that.

And that was honestly the best idea for a good 30 minutes.

but then THIS happened:

Matty: Now I'm trying to think of movie titles to sub your name in with, haha. *fail*
Me: Lord of the Audree, Audree of the Ring, Pride & Audree, Bridget Jone's Audree, The Audree Locker, Harry Potter and Audree Stone ... none of these seem to work.

Then it just came to the point where I was just going to settle on "The Nameless Blog: I'm Not Creative." But lo! a worthy idea finally found its way! This blog is supposed to be about general Entertainment, Movie Reviews, Fashion Commentary, Celebrity, etc. but I also wanted it to have a playful tone. Thankfully Kevin was able to come up with a name that fit, and Matt and I came up with a quote that made fun of it just little bit. Perfect.

To be serious, though, I've always been interested in film, what goes on on-screen and off-screen. I'm fascinated by celebrities and fashion, and like many people I have lots of opinions about it all. To me, film in all its complexity is one of the truest forms of art and can speak to the heart in so many different ways. Be it in the acting, the cinematography, the music, whatever, film can touch any number of people for any number of reasons.

So if you're interested [and I hope you are], climb on board and follow my blog!
