100

This is my one hundredth post! Now, drop the urge to start lecturing me on how this-would-have-happened-a-long-time-ago-if-you'd-just-apply-yourself-and-spend-more-time-on-the-internet-and-less-studying, and just enjoy it!

My initial idea was to do ten top tens of images from my blog's past, but that seemed too... predictable. Instead I will do eight top somethings. Well, maybe I will split that into two posts so you don't get bored.

Without further ado...

The Top 7 Best Winks

7. Winks are just plain nerdy when you are reading.


 That book was about art history too, I think that makes it even worse.

6. Accidental wink


So kill me, it was really sunny out!

5. The stray bang wink


May I deem the stray chunk from my bangs a "bang"? I do this a lot. And for all my (someday?) international readers, I'm talking about "fringe."

4. The wink that arises when you can't smile (REENACTMENT)


Damn, that's sexy.

3. Winking with GUNS


And horns for that matter. This is a pretty quality wink. As you can see, folks, the man has committed his entire body to the wink, even if he is a tad crazy about Christmas.

2. Winking with headgear


Wow, Brian, another classic move. When my photography teacher saw this one, he said it was one of his favorites because you looked so "coy." 

Drumroll... (yes, of course there is going to be a drumroll before every one! And I want to see you slapping your knees before you read them.)
1. My specialty: unflattering winks


Read 'em and weep! No wink can top this one in jankiness!

What's next? I suppose, since this is an omellette related blog and all, we should go with:

The Top 4 Eggs

 4. Classic egg(s)


 Aww, this is from one of my first posts, that's why it's so itty-bitty. And what a gorgeous picture of those white domes, courtesy the artist.

3. Decorative egg


In Middle School we had "Exploratory Day" and I signed up for a class on how to make these decorative eggs. It is a complex process involving crayons and knowing which color is darkest. Needless to say, I did not make this particular egg.

2. Not sure why my family owns this egg nicknack.



Don't you wish nicknack was spelled knicknack?

Drumroll...
1. The most eggciting egg. (What did you eggspect in an egg countdown?)


Delicious.

Okay, so maybe I was a little desperate when choosing these countdowns. I was trying to be creative or something! You know, out of the box...
But that leads to my next countdown of course. 'Twas a planned insecure rambling.

The Top 9 Faces of Desperation 

 9. Apparent unibrow desperation


Otherwise known as very little chin desperation.

8. Costume desperation


In the next few minutes you will find that this particular type of desperation is widespread among animals, human-animals, and human-foods alike. Costumes just aren't as fun as one would think.

7. Costume desperation is real, everyone!


It was very cold, I had nothing else to wear.

6. Indecisive desperation


  After all, what's a wee girl like myself standing in front of an eagle picture supposed to do?

5. I'm too old for this desperation


Not even dalmatians could cheer me up at this party.

4. An extraordinary case of costume desperation


3. Clenched neck desperation


2. Zoomed in desperation


The bulging eye is what brings this face up to number two. It's not your typical bulging eye but a prime example where the eye we see to our right bulges just a bit more than the left. Actors: study this.

Drumroll...
1. You're taking another picture? desperation and outdated glasses desperation


This one is an instant classic. I think the jumper makes it all the more successful. Winner! Mom, I would totally link to your blog right now if you had one.

I know you are all anxious for one more countdown. Put on your reading glasses for this next one. There will be some fine print, if you know what I mean.

The Top 10 Glasses

First eggs and now glasses?! I know, right? That's just how it is around here, the party never ever stops.

10. Harry Potter, beloved


Hoodwinked again! I know you all thought I would put Harry at number one, but as the first movie is not very good, you were WRONG.

Suckers.

9. Anthropology professor glasses


Not bad, Harley, not bad.

8. Reflective glasses worn by sweaty people


This blurry, shiny, unflattering thing was taken on a rickshaw in India. How can it not be number 8?

7. Smart glasses


Without these extra large peepers, I'd be nothing next to the wise owl. Instead, I stare him down like it's nothing! And for 19.95, these brilliant-makers can be yours too.

6. Justine glasses


Justine eating quesadilas beats most glasses pictures.

5. Creative glasses


Doesn't the phrase "turn that frown upside down" mean anything these days? Artists: study this, you are expected to dress up for gallery openings.

4. Puns


It's just juice, stop freaking out.

3. Anime glasses


... in the cornfield!

2. Really hip glasses




I will also accept "cool" and "rad."


1. Cutest glasses-wearer ever (sorry, Brian)


There's more where this came from! So I hope you liked it! Comment? Follow? Plus one? (Whatever that is.)

  1. Hmm, now all my ads have changed to glasses ads.

  2. This is great!

    My favorite is the wink countdown (perhaps subconsciously because I'm in it twice).

    Why was your hair so fancy in Desperation #9?

  4. YAY to your 100th post! Your cutest-glasses-wearer-ever is so dang cute!!!

    hmmm...funny that both you and Brian used the word 'wee' in your last post. :-)

    It cracks me up every time I see you reenacting your 'smile' as a child!

  5. Haha! Great 100th post Christie!

    I thought knickknack was spelled like that! Who knew? That little egg man is an 'eggs-ecutive' like your dad the executive business man!! I bought that for him once...

    As for my lovely picture (#1 in desperation!) THOSE GLASSES WERE IN STYLE IN 1992! hahaha! and my lovely 'jumper' is really shorts and a shirt - it came as a set :)

    And i do like your reenactment of your 'smile' as a child but the original of you as a 3 year old is really my favorite!!!

    Keep on blogging :)
