The Social Network

Scott and I went to see The Social Network yesterday.  On the way there, I told him that in a few years they will probably be making a movie about this blog.  I immediately pointed out that I would be played by Scarlett Johansson, with brown hair (for obvious reasons).  If she could start snacking on Reese’s peanut butter cups now, it might be more plausible.  I went through a few potential actors for Scott but for some reason he wasn’t interested (obsessed) with the idea like I was.  I voted for Fred Durst but I was picturing him 10 years ago, not now.  So now I vote for Fred Durst with botox.  So fellow bloggers, please write in and let me know who will be playing you.  No, seriously, I want you to tell me.  It's kind of funny to think about.
Here I am!

This weekend I did a lot of jewelry making.  I hadn’t made anything since, I don’t know when.  It’s been at least a year, I think more.  I actually was afraid to start again.  I planned it but then I kept organizing and looking over stuff and couldn’t get myself to pick up a needle.  Now that I finally started, I can’t stop.  Well, I am able to live my life but I do keep picking it up when I am home.  I am not sure what the hesitation was.  I happen to really like having a creative outlet and feel like something is missing when I am not working on creating something.  I hope to make enough jewelry that I can start selling it on etsy or elsewhere.  In the past few days, I have started following some amazing craft and jewelry blogs.  People out there do the most amazing things and I really respect it.  I know that I have to set time aside in my day to be creative and I am going to do it.  I am feeling inspired…I hope you all will be too.

  1. Hmm...who should play Scott??? I'll think about that.
    And I agree...Scarlett is a good choice to play you.

    As for the jewelry making...I think you should do it all the time!

    I've been finding a lot of scrapbook blogs on here lately. That & photography blogs. I was thinking about doing a photography blog next.

  3. Thoroughly confused. I joined as "Caroline", but I can only post as "Ccretter". I don't get it and I'm mad that my bunny mouf pic isn't there. Anyway, here's what I said:

    Etsy is great! It's easy too. You don't need to have a lot of stock to get started. My knitting page only has 17 items right now. Let me know when you get set up!
    I'm "Bunslove" and "Bunsloveknits". Two shops.

  4. You must have fixed it Caroline. Now your bunny mouth is there. My thumbnail keeps coming up as an X though.
    I will check out your etsy shops. I should give myself a goal date to get my store up and running. I can't commit right now though. I have to get back to you....

  7. Ha! Who would dare to play me? OMG! That is the million dollar question. I don't think anyone in Hollywood looks evenly remotely like me. Do you have someone in mind for me?

  8. I don't know. Has anyone ever told you that you look like someone famous?

  9. I think George Clooney could play me in a movie about me, but I don't remember anyone saying to me that I look like him.

  10. I wonder if people tell him that he looks like you! Can you get your wife on here? Did she look at my jewelry?

  11. Janis, no one has ever accused me of looking like a celebrity. Good thing. I don't want another me out there!

  12. I thought about Scarlett Johannson when I saw the photo. I am thinking about Winona Ryder but nobody ever said I look like her.

  13. Well, I think that Scarlett Johannson would have a tough time playing both of us! I am sure Winona Ryder can do herself up to look more like you. Welcome to the blog! Follow along!!!

  14. Whoa, I will not stand for any doubting of Scarlett Johansson, she could play you, her, me, Barack Obama, whoever lol. But you do bring up an interesting point, and I'm torn between wanting Tom Selleck or Ernest Borgnine to play me...

  15. No, no, I didn't mean to doubt Ms. Johansson. I just think she should only play one part per movie. Just making sure we keep the Hollywood actresses out of trouble!
