TGIF...Thank God I'm Fabulous!!!

About Me

"You can spend your life however you want, but you only get to spend it once." Thanks for spending a moment on me, I promise you that your investment is well worth it. Either you must really have nothing better to do than read this...or you think I'm pretty fabulous. I'll just choose to believe you think I'm pretty fabulous. Because frankly, I am! Who am I? I'm your sweetest dream and your worst nightmare. I'm your best friend and your worst enemy. You love to hate me, but don't hate me because I'm beautiful. I'm a girly girl but I'm not afraid to get dirty. I'm sweet and spicy. I am my biggest fan and my worst critic. I grab the bull by the horns and hang on for the ride. I live hard, I laugh hard and I love hard. Is there any other way to live life? Oh, and if you MUST know my name, its Kara, not trouble. ;)
My motto: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand a martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO - What a ride!!!!"
"Here's to the girl who loves shopping and shoes, but prefers to be barefoot and naked. Hates to sleep alone, but desperately needs her space. Has a warm heart, but is sometimes cold. Loves to be lazy, but always takes the stairs. Tries to be independent, but sometimes needs to be carried. Tries to always be on top of things, but longs to be swept off her feet. Here's to me." -Sterling Marley

Another badass quiz from eSPIN-the-Bottle...

What's Wrong With You?

MY RESULT: Too Friendly


You're very open with people, which is great, but sometimes those people are wearing brass knuckles, which is not great.

You tend to think that people are generally good at heart, and because of that, you're very trusting. People are drawn to your positive attitude and you tend to make friends easily. (You might also be a little vain, but hey, who could blame you? You're a good-looking individual, and you have a right to be a little cocky about it.)

So where could you go wrong? Well, if you're too friendly, you might not be on alert for those folks you really shouldn't trust. So try to use more caution when you meet new people. And quit trading gym socks with strangers. That's just plain gross.

What's Your Secret Talent?

MY RESULT: Making Paper Cranes With Just Your Tongue


Lord knows what else you can do with that thing.

Why are you still keeping your talent a secret? Beats us. As far as we're concerned, there's a severe lackage of paper cranes nowadays. You should bust out some origami paper and make some more. And then when you're done with that, you can tie a cherry stem in your mouth, and open a Starburst with your teeth, and that other stuff that proves you're an excellent kisser. (Hey, if you've got the talent, you'd might as well advertise it.)

Take This Quiz!

I'd like to meet:

A fortune teller who can guide me, a voice of reason to tell me "no" when I want another pair of shoes, my fairy godmother so I can borrow her wand to rid myself of the drama llamas in my life, the little devil that sometimes sits on my shoulder and tells me its ok to do certain things, someone who can calm down my dog, a boy who can live up to my picky standards, a talking garden gnome, Captain Morgan (I have a thing for Pirates, you know), the telemarketer that keeps calling my cell phone so I can get their number and drive them crazy and Drew Barrymore.

Music:

I listen to everything and it would take me days, if not months to list every band I like. I can't even choose a top 5 or a favorite song.

Movies:

Wedding Singer, 13 Going on 30, Sweetest Thing, Grease, Breakfast Club, Elizabethtown, Garden State, St. Elmo's Fire, 16 Candles, National Lampoon's Vacation and Christmas Vacation, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, Bridget Jones' Diary, and many others.

Television:

My Boys, Confessions of a Matchmaker, Grey's Anatomy, Seinfeld, Sex and the City and pretty much anything on TLC.

Books:

I'm on a big classics kick right now and I've got a whole list of books that I want to read, but if anyone has any suggestions, just let me know!

Heroes:

Kristen because of all her work in New Orleans and just because. Tiffany because she doesn't care what others think and always speaks her mind. Rick because he is the best kind of friend to have, my Dad, and my man, Henry Earl! Check him out!!

My name is Kara...not Joan...and not Leslie Duncan

One of the things wrong with a fast moving society is that sometimes we forget to stop and listen to what people are saying.  I once had a lady leave a voicemail on my phone for another person.&n...

I'm not quite sure what it is about young hollywood stars today, but somewhere along the way, being just an actor or actress became not good enough.  Suddenly, all these so-called "Hollywood It G...
