Confessions

Confession:

I have listened to "You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You" COVERED by Micheal Buble at least 15 times in a row today.

hlq-I'm totally going to have to take out the garbage immediately I'm sure when I give them to him lol.

People have told me I look like I'm trying to be sexy in my e-pic that is in my sig (people IRL not on here). I kinda laugh because I literally had no expression on my face there. Those were some of the first shots so I kinda was dead-faced. So that is my dead face.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions : H came down to FL for college in 1997...I was in 6th grade (I think). He sounds so old when I think of it like that. By the time I graduated high school, he had already been engaged once and owned his own business.

My H started grad school in 1996. I started high school. I never would have thought in a million years when I was 14 that I would be marrying someone who was then-22.

I have a silly confession that only the Gleeks will probably get.

You know in season 1, when the kids did mash-ups? And the boys did "It's my life" mashed with "Confessions"? When I see this thread, I keep hearing the boys sing "These are my confessions...."

Yeah, I have the Glee soundtracks, so I know the song really well. *Sigh*

When my aunt was born, my uncle was 23.

ETA: Which made me realize that I'm still younger than my uncle was when my aunt was an infant. huh.

abbalish · May 2011

Count me in as another one who keeps putting off the baby train! I keep setting these arbitrary deadlines, like "after Vegas," or "after Mexico," and the inventing new ones - like, now I want to go away between Christmas and New Years, and I want to visit my friend in London. One of these days!

I graduated high school in 1999 and college in 2003. He graduated in 1992 and 1996, respectively. Lotsa youngins around here!

Musical, I don't think that looks like a dead face (not like the creepy May 11 epics girl's dead face anyway). I think maybe people think it looks sexy because you have good eye contact, which is impressive. I think Tyra would be proud.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions : Me too, Mica. Graduated HS in 1995 and college in 2000. I turn 34 today. I feel old! I have never been to a boy band concert. That kind of music, except for NKOTB, was mostly after my time and I hated NKOTB. I was more of a Metallica fan. :P

Happy birthday, Bubs!

I was a G 'n R and Aerosmith fan.

hlq2011 · May 2011

musical, I don't think you look like you're trying to be sexy. I think you look... casual.

I think people are used to that blank stare that models do, so maybe that's where they were coming from?

ggirl2001 · May 2011

I'm kinda jealous of everyone who has e-pics. I know they're not required or anything, but would have been nice to be able to get them done.

Thanks, :) Was I smizing enough for Ty-Ty? haha. Actually, when I did my b-pics, my photog said the secret to looking sexy is keeping the bottom lip just slightly apart from the top one. I did that for most of the shoot and it worked like a charm.

hlq2011 · May 2011

ggirl, I wanted to do them so I'd have a higher degree of comfort with the photographer for the wedding day. I was super apprehensive, but now that I know she got some photos I liked for the e-pics, I feel confident that there will be a sufficient number of wedding pics that I like too.

mica178 · May 2011

H wants me to take b pics too, but I don't know how I feel about a random photographer taking pictures of me in lingerie. Sort of creepy.

waltzingmatilda13 · May 2011

Gg, I wish we had e-pics done, too. I think I've talked H into doing some pictures this summer though because we have no pics in our house that aren't at our wedding or close up self-portraits.

Posted by mica178[/QUOTE]

I would probably have felt that way if it was a male photographer, however sexist that may sound. The women who I worked with were probably in their mid-30s and totally casual and fun.

[QUOTE]I'm not doing a grooms cake. In fact, no one in my family did. Maybe it's not common in my area? I don't know.
Posted by ggirl2001[/QUOTE]

I haven't seen them done in upstate NY. ;-) I don't think I've ever seen on IRL.

ggirl2001 · May 2011

Yeah, thats the problem. My wedding is in Florida. Up until recently I was living in Buffalo, FI was in south carolina and then deployed so the chances of us being able to use the wedding photographer were nil. Then when he was home prior to deployment it was right before xmas so we had no money to do anything. I just like looking at everyone's and wish I had some really nice, casual pics of fi and me, instead of ya know, self portraits that I have taken lol.

hlq2011 · May 2011

mica, if I did them, it would be with our wedding photographer, I think. She does them, and I have a relationship with her.

But still... I think I'd feel very awkward.

Birdie1483 · May 2011

Are we still talking about ages?

FI is 4 years older than me. I like to tease him that he was graduating high school on the same day I was graduating 8th grade. It sounds all creepy molesterish when you put it that way.

Meg1979 · May 2011

Happy birthday, Bubbs!

Matilda, I don't blame you for feeling anxious about doing WW with your husband. When I was in WW, the guys in our group lost so quickly they actually were a little afraid of our dagger eyes.

ggirl2001 · May 2011

Mica-my first ever cassette tape was Use your Illusion I haha

</div><div>Maybe you can get a friend to take some one day. We have a really nice DLSR camera that we are going to have my SIL use to take some pic this summer or fall. It they don't come out so well, we think we know a photographer who would do it cheaply or even free.

adamar15 · May 2011

We didn't have e-pics either, but we've decided that we'll do nice pictures for our one year anniversary, so we have something decent to hang in all of the picture frames we got as wedding presents

When H graduated from high school I was in FOURTH grade. I remember my last day there well because after 4th grade we moved up into middle school. I was in elementary school when he graduated from high school!

musicalsunlight · May 2011

I've never dated a significantly older man. *pouts*

haha my first serious boyfriend was actually about 9 months younger than me, my second was like a year older I think, and J is about 8 months older.

FWIW, I had a serious, mentally debilitating crush on a man 10 years older than me for about 3 years. His name was Heath Ledger.

ggirl2001 · May 2011

Yeah, I'm going to have to talk FI into that. He HATES pictures lol. I just want some nice ones of us besides wedding pictures. But if I tell him I want to do it, he will follow through. He's usually good with things like that.

annakb8 · May 2011

I only did epics because my uncle is my photographer and did the session for free. I don't love the pictures though. We just did them in my mom's back yard when we were home for a weekend and neither of us were prepared really attire wise. And it was so hot so we were kind of sweaty.

I think I want to do this too. There's no rule that says you can't just get nice "family photos" taken after the wedding.
