Friday Frivolity: Another Saturday Version

Oh my gosh, you guys … It has been QUITE the weekend.

What’s that, you say? It’s only Saturday morning? Wow.

You see, what happened yesterday is that I telecommuted from home, which you would THINK made it easier to post FF, but no. My editor and boss gave me a crapton of work to do, and I had to scramble to finish it because I was also moving apartments. Praise the Lord, all moving got done yesterday, when I thought it would take the entire weekend. My dad rolled into town to help me out, and we got so much done, I would think I had dreamt it if it weren’t for the massive headache and sore muscles telling me that no, it did happen.

This marks the fourth apartment I have lived in within the nearly-two years I have been in the DC area. That’s if you count my first three weeks of couch-surfing at one apartment—and I do count it. So I’m ready to be settled for a while. (Please, God. Please. I think I’ve earned it!)

Oh, sorry. This was just supposed to be FF a day late. Did you know that Justin Bieber has dark powers made of cupcakes, ice cream, and flowers? Oh, it’s true.

Friday Frivolity: Life is a Cabaret, Old Chum

I wasn’t sure what to post for FF today, but STOP THE PRESSES! Thanks to the ladies at Manolo for the Big Girl, it was brought to my attention that today is Liza Minnelli’s birthday. In honor of that (and to get the song stuck in Bethany’s head), I bring you …

Happy Birthday, Liza, and Happy Friday to the rest of you!

Friday Frivolity: Saturday Edition

Hey all!

Hope you’re having a good weekend. Sorry that I was intensely distracted by a huge number of things yesterday, and didn’t get the chance to post FF. But I have something for you today, courtesy of The Onion. Doesn’t matter what you think of Obama, this video is hilarious:

Friday Frivolity: No Love for Twilight

Can I tell you how glad I am that it’s Friday?

I AM SO GLAD that it’s Friday.

I’ve been down with a cold this week, and today is the first day since Monday that my health has been on the mend instead of in decline. Fortunately, my boss is awesome and let me work from home today so that I could still sort-of relax and recover, but not have to take a sick day.

Anyway, this week’s Friday Frivolity is my latest YouTube obsession (not counting the Phantom Reviewer): “Twilight Sucks! Emo Vampire Song” by The Key of Awesome. Watch and enjoy.

Happy Friday!

Friday Frivolity: Dangerous Wands

I didn’t have time this week to look for my next batch of hilarious eHarmony profile pics (but they’re coming, I promise), since work was super-busy, and after work I had to rest to ward off a cold or flu or something. In fact, I had no idea what to do about Friday Frivolity, until I came across THIS LITTLE PIECE OF GENIUS.

I know not everyone out there is a fan of, or even approves of, the Harry Potter books. I happen to love them, and therefore thought this was HILARIOUS:

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

(JSYK: Probably not going to have a FF next week, seeing as it’s CHRISTMAS!!)

Generosity in These Times

Yes, it’s a video, but no, it’s not Friday Frivolity.

Now, OK, I’m not gung-ho about Fox News. I don’t even watch TV, since I have the Internet for news and movies. But I am a fan of John Stossel, who recently moved from ABC to Fox Business to do his own show. YouTube recommended this video for me, and when I watched it, I thought I would pass it along to our readers.

Here, in a brief segment, he discusses real examples of real generosity across the country. Despite the difficult economic times, true charity has not been squashed. I thought you all might appreciate seeing this, given that it’s the Christmas season, and we could all use a little extra cheer in Times Like These.

In other news, please pray for Bethany today. She is en route from Berlin to the States, coming home for Christmas and New Year’s. In less than 2 weeks, the Sisterhood of Perpetual Singleness will be together for the first time since July!

Friday Frivolity: The Ultimate Friend Zone

This is a bit late for Friday Frivolity, but I have been distracted by—you won’t believe this—work and other real life responsibilities! I know, I know, and I’m sorry for letting you down. Hopefully this will make up for it.

Ever been caught in the “friend zone,” willingly or not? Sure, we all have. But maybe Boundless is right and that ISN’T the way God planned it!!!

(Apologies that the video wasn’t embedded. It’s actually embeddable, but WordPress is being … well, it would be un-Christian of me to describe what I really think of it right now.)

Unrelated note: I still owe you guys the fourth and final part of my (over)analysis of the Girl’s Guide, I know. The thing is, I misplaced the hard copy I had with all my notes, and I’m too lazy to go through it and rewrite them. It’s somewhere in my room, though. Can’t promise when it will be posted, but I can promise that it will be posted!

On that note, as always, Happy Friday, and have a blessed weekend!

Friday Frivolity: Jaunty Hats and Heartless Cads

I’m posting this in a quick-like hurry because I get to leave work early today and head across several states to pay my native state of Ohio a little visit. Of course, I couldn’t neglect FF again, so here is one of my old YouTube favorites: Wonderful British instruction for women who want to keep their virtue and find a suitable husband (AS SHE MUST!).

Now you know what to do—have a Happy Friday and a great weekend!

Friday Frivolity: There are Plenty of Fish in the Sea, but They Have a High Mercury Content

This video needs no introduction, really…

The saddest part: update the hairdos, put the information into an online profile, and you have eHarmony. I KNOW THIS FROM EXPERIENCE.

Friday Frivolity: Wedded “Bliss”

Can I please just take a moment to say how much I hate my work computer?

Thank you.

And now, your Friday Frivolity (which was skipped last week, alas). If this is the typical experience, not only am I glad that I decided I will elope to Vegas if the time ever comes for me, but I’m also thinking of changing this blog’s tagline to a simple, “Thank Goodness!” (Don’t tell Bethany.)

Wow. Such…joy?

Happy Friday!

Friday Frivolity: Dating Advice

[Insert usual apology for lack of posting]

So, let’s say that you’re not quite ready for marriage, and you’re not really in love yet. But is there a guy you’re interested in? Someone you’d like to get to know better? Is he hott?

But … what would you DO together?

[No, not that. This is a Christian blog, silly.]

Following the regressive theme of the past few FFs, check out this video for some advice:

Happy Friday!

Friday Frivolity: Love…OR IS IT

Last week, we shared a video (or two) to help you address the question, “Am I ready for marriage?”

Let’s say you decided that you’re not actually ready to get married quite yet. Perhaps you’re in love. OR SO YOU THINK. (Or perhaps, like me, you find yourself distanced from the love of your life because of things like “time and space,” and the “laws” of “physics,” and “reality” and such. You know, all those annoying little things that seem to stand in the way of one’s happiness.)

But let’s say you’re in love. How do you tell that you’re REALLY in love? Apparently you fight with your parents and elope. Or something. Here’s part one:

And then part two:

Happy Friday!
