Bliss a la mode

It's unfortunate that you have to pick me apart while you are falling apart.

About Me

Yes, my name is Bliss. No, I am not a stripper or hooker. My parents weren't hippies, either. I'm a paradox, as I guess everyone else is. I'm constantly finding out new things about myself. Some of those things are amazing, others are a little scary. I've become a bit of a shut-in since graduation, but I have fun with my books, video games, television and boyfriend. I dig the news and studying the media. I guess I'm a dork.
Supporter of public radio.
Defender of justice.
Lover of CuddlePants.
Helper of small animals.

Dallas American Idol Auditions

First, let me just say how amazed I am that Idol fever is so crazy. Videos of last night's show are already up on Youtube. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but last year it was more difficult to fi...

American Idol Season 7 Premier

I had high hopes for season 7 blogs because everyone has a Myspace page now, right? Well I think Fox and Myspace have caught on to our little game and several of the contestants don't have pages. Th...

So This Is The New Year

No resolutions.  Resolutions are for chumps.  But I will be attempting to be better at a few things.  Work, for example.  I want to be yelled at less.  I want to be more produ...

My personal bulletin rules

This new home page is fantastic.  I really like the option to subscribe to updates on your friends' pages.  This means fewer bulletins, I hope.  I've decided I'm deleting people who pos...

Maybe this one won’t be deleted.

So if you didn't notice, my last blog I wrote about Walgreen's sucking balls is gone.  It's a tad bit mysterious, if you ask me.  But for the record, they do suck, but I can't stop shopping ...

Less than a month!

In less than one month I will be turning 25. I guess that doesn't seem too special to everyone, but I feel like it's marking the beginning of old age! At least REAL adulthood. Since I've been out o...

Just some Blissful observations

Why does the "yearly exam" have to be so uncomfortable?  There are the obvious reasons, outlined in My Angry Vagina, but then there are the uncomfortable questions the nurse asks before they play...

Phonecall frustration

I must preface this story by saying that I work at The Small Business Network. However, we are not consultants. We are a media company dealing specifically with small business content. We have a ra...

What a powerful comeback

The reason I love my bff:"It's so obvious that Simon and Ryan Seacrest have butt sex."The commentary provided by my friends makes watching this show more interesting, for sure.

Short update

We have a new roommate.  A very wise woman once told me not to sweat my situation because things change so rapidly.  She was right!  That's all the update I have, so I'm doing a survey....
