She Bangs

Did you know that if you Google "Michelle Bangs" you'll get porn instead of this:
Did you also know if you're in la la land and click into one of the search results without realizing it you'll get one of these?
Did you know that doing this at your new temp job is most likely not a good move?

Did you know if you're compulsive by nature you should probably steer clear of your kitchen scissors when you're obsessing over bangs?

Did you know there's a place in Miami that fixes bangs for $10.00?
Did you know that if you give people enough alcohol they will suddenly become your best friend and talk until their tongues and your ears fall off?

Did you know some of these people will attempt to grab your ass or make out with you during your high school reunion while their girlfriends sit sulking in a corner and you try with all your might to get the hell out of there without causing a scene or punching someone's face?

Did you know that if you drink day and night for three days straight you eventually only urinate dust?

Did you know after five shots of Patron and two drinks to the head everyone thinks they can sing Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi?

Did you know if you've been celibate for seven months when you actually get ready to land the plane you should have a parachute on hand and shouldn't count on the other passanger for it because he may just not?

Did you know that without said parachute celibacy cannot be broken and you'll go to sleep extremely angry and wanting to run someone over, preferably the person laying in bed next to you?

Did you know it takes at least thirty hours of sleep to get over the magnitude of a hangover this blogger is experiencing right now?

Yeah. Neither did I.

By request: I didn't snap many pictures as I was too busy taking advantage of free drinks and having conversations I wouldn't remember the next day but here's one at Lola's place prior to liver mutilation on reunion night.

LMAO! Did you know that you are my hero and I absolutely love you even though we've never met? You're freaking hilarious!!!! Bangs Annah??? ADM!!! (Ay Dios Mio!)

Jewels said...

nothing worse than dying to jump out of a plane and not having a parachute but good for you for refusing to jump without one...it's just stupid.
As far as the pissing dust and needing insane amounts of sleep to rebound...yes I did. My birthday weekend turning 30 proved that to me. It was rough with a capital R.

Sounds like it was eventful...and the bangs look lovely, my dear.

Christy said...

Lol! Yes this weekend has taught us many valuable life lessons! Btw, absolutely adore the bangs! You look fierce!

The Adorkable Ditz said...

You look gorgeous with bangs. And I'm sorry about the lack of parachute and sex and the hangover. But how do you urinate dust?

Christopher said...

that living on a prayer bit cracked me up

Julie said...

cutting your bangs with kitchen scissors is a no-no. At lease you did cut a sweet mullet and wear it for a week just to say you had a mullet once (yes, I did). Be glad you can pull of the bangs....... I wish I could! And yes I knew about the peeing dust thing.

Alex T. said...

ouch... sounds like a few days of hell... good luck getting out of it?

sleep helps...

Penelope said...

Many life lessons in one weekend. Without Alcohol you would have absolutely nothing to write about, well nothing worth it anyway :) and did i tell you that your hair looks pretty?? jejeje

monstergirlee said...

Your bangs turned out very nice.

Tea Witch said...

Damn....just damn.

Mynx said...

No wonder you have been a little quiet. Guess you had a great time at the reunion. Did you wear the LBD?

hed. said...

Your bangs are adorable! They frame your face very well! Hed

Canadianbloggergirl said...

Love the bangs! I can't pull them off, I've had long bangs for about 20 years now. Stupid cow-licks...(not sure how to spell it).

Those bangs! That face! Who needs porn when gazing upon your exquisite countenance induces a state of total bliss? A recent traffic counter comparison indicates that Red Means Go! is suddenly out performing RedTube!

Helpful hint: after seven months in a holding pattern you can land a plane safely even w/o a parachute if you foam the runway. To avoid any uncertainty you can always bring her down on instruments!

amber said...

Love the bangs. Hopefully you'll tell more about the parachute-worthy date...
You know we depend on you for entertainment, right?

Kirsten said...

"Take my hand- and we'll make it I swear..."
p.s. Your bangs look gorge.

The Tame One said...

You rock the bangs. Wait, you didn't try to cut them with kitchen scissors and Patron did you. Eee Gads. Were they on the slant? I'm a curly girl so bangs make me look like a french poodle. I'm a little jealous.

Oh, and kudos to you for going down with the plane. Jumping without a chute is just stupid.

Katie Jeans Jewelry said...

OMG!!!LMAO. I guess they wont be asking you to stay at your temp job!!!I didn't think anything could make me laugh at 4:30 in the morning before my second cup of coffee.

Juniper said...

I've always wondered how what we call a fringe got called 'bangs' in the States? I just can make out an origin for using that word.

Anyway they look great (though judging by your photo it would take a hell of a lot for you NOT to look great!).

"Did you know that if you give people enough alcohol they will suddenly become your best friend and talk until their tongues and your ears fall off?" Ha I have that problem with my husband when he is drunk and enthusiastic about something; I suddenly find myself saying 'mmm, mmm, oh yes, mmm' while doing something else. Bad wife.

Catherine said...

That sounds like ONE HELL of a weekend!

Annah said...

Yvonne: Love you back and I'm someone's hero!? Holy shit this is way awesome. And yes bangs! I love bangs, it's just that the weather in Miami is too humid to keep them all year round so I must take advantage now that the humidity is below 99.999%.

Jewels: Sounds like your 30th was one crazy pachanga <---- Spanish word for awesome party.

Ditz: You're a teenager so I will not instill bad habits but when you dehydrate your body so much there's no longer any liquids, you pee dust. I promise.

Julie: I really should've known better but when something gets stuck in my head, I can't help myself and I have to do it.

Shady: You flatterer, you. And foam? Please explain further I'm intrigued.

Amber: I'm trying to come out of my coma but I promise I will give you guys the deets soon.

Kirsten: THANK YOU. I kinda like 'em. A lot.

Tame: Poodle? You're hilarious. My hair is kind of wavy but I rock the shit out of that straightening iron until they're stick straight. So far, so good.

Katie: Good morning :) Glad your day started off with a smile.

I did wear the black dress, I have to look for a picture as I didn't take the time to take any pictures with my camera.

Jossie Posie said...

Clearly I left the party WAY too early :-( boo for me!

Lola said...

This weekend was crazy.... Had an amazing time, I'm dying today and I actually slept all night... ha ha...

Love the hair!!!!!

Fred Miller said...

Bangs is also a disease that makes milk cows abort their calves. It's sad. But you're hungover. Might as well know about this. Be kind to yourself.

Real Talk said...

the bangs are a good look :)

TB said...

Nice hair! I like the dress too, though I wish I could see it a little better. Reading this makes me glad I didn't drink this weekend. I am getting a virtual hangover.

FALEN AKA THUNDERCAT832 said...

oh honey you working those bangs! That is a sexy look for ya! Stick with them or I'll hunt your ass down and make your piss yourself ;) I say this with love!

Danger Boy said...

Love the new look. Still love the blog.
Did you know that you shouldn't drink coffee while reading your blog? It results in having to clean off a portion of the keyboard.

Jessica said...

Well you learn something new everyday. Thanks.
And your hair looks awesome

steph gas said...

i think your fringe looks awesome. i also think you rocked that little black dress. i'm glad you went to your reunion - sounds like you ended up having fun! and good call not jumping without a parachute. you should always pack your own parachute, darling. you can never trust someone else to pack it for you.

Odie Langley said...

Love the black dress and am so glad you went and had a blast. We are on our first full day at sea on the Carnival Glory and there is food everywhere and the colors are amazing. Another great post my friend. will be checking back later.

FreeFlying said...

I LOVE the bangs! So cute!!!

Oh, yes. And that's very sad about the aborted jump. Nothing is less sexy than a man who forgets his parachute.

Annah said...

Fred: Thanks?

Danger Boy: No, I didn't know. *muah* Kisses

Falen: Yes sir! ;)

Steph: Surprisingly, I really did have a good time. Everyone pretty much looked the same. I was in awe.

Odie: So jealous! Hope that you're having a wonderful time. Eat lots of delicious stuff, hmmm Gah I love cruise food.

Lacie: I agree 110%. But oh well, I'll take it as a sign.

Bouncin' Barb said...

I missed you Annah my dear. And wondered about you once this weekend as to whether your reunion was a good one. You look fantastic, love the hair but yes humidity in the south sucks for hair. Hangovers are a bitch but small price to pay for a memory that lasts much longer than the actual hangover. So glad you went. Feel better soon!!!

leiamarie82 said...

Sounds like you had an optimal reunion experience. Much success!

Carey S. said...

annah, you are too much! thanks for teaching us all those life lessons. next time someone asks me, did you know that if you drink night and day for 3 days strait, you pee dust? i'll say, well yes, i DID know that! you're hilarious! hope you feel better soon. drink lots of soda, the bubbles help.
xo

Adventure Spot said...

Sounds like your reunion was eventful. Love the dress you look gorgeous in it! Also loving the bangs on you too. Mine have grown out and I think its better that way since I have really curly hair. Curly hair/frizz with short bangs =not such a good idea. Trust I have done this numerous of times because I too need a change and without fail each time I regret it. Especially when I leave my hair curly and my bangs look like baby hair! (rolls eyes) Nevertheless they look superb on you, hope you get over your hang over soon love :)

Jourie said...

your bangs look fabulous!!
...and I can totally relate with the bangs incident. My mom cut mine before school pictures once and totally ruined me!

Baxie \m/_ said...

I love your bangs! They really soo good! I would do it, but alas I have no money :'(

Love you dress by the way...tis pwetty XD

mepsipax said...

Bwahahahahahahahaha....yeah, I drank too much on my last vacay too.

Diana Mieczan said...

I love bangs and you look adorable with it:)
Kisses and have a great Monday

mike said...

ah, love that post, great sense of humor. cool site.

Janet said...

You MUST tell me who hit on you!

And OMG You know who you look like now with the bangs? That girl (Lea Michele?) from Glee!

Magaly said...

Your blog is so entertaining. I just read a few entries but I must get back to work :) BTW I so see this turning into a book and then an HBO series :)

Paige said...

i fucking love your bangs! i had some for a year but i had a bad cowlick that always made them part...lame. anyways what is it about drunk people and bon jovi?!

Jourie said...

I completely agree with Magaly!

Lauren said...

This was hilarious! I esp like the bit about peeing dust. I just got into cutting the dead ends off of my hair because I can't stand to see them looking so miserable and I think pretty soon I'll be needing a $10 fix too...

J Franklin Evans said...

Heh. Yeah, I actually already knew all that.

Mynx said...

The dress looks amazing and so is the hair. Thanks for the pic

Ninja Mike said...

Lol, sad day about your sexual frustration.

Hope the hang over gets better. I'm kinda looking forward to my HS reunion. I'm already more successful than most of those pukes... :D

Steve G. said...

Geez, I don't consider myself the sleaziest guy around - I've never had a one night stand or hooked up with someone at a bar - but even I carry a parachute on me at all times. Even if the chance of winning the lottery is greater than me hooking up with Scarlett or JLH or (Shame!) Melissa Joan Hart, I still need to be prepared in case it happens.

AmberLaShell said...

Wow, I can't believe a man didn't carry a parachute... Do you think a man would be intimidated if you pulled like 25 of them out of your purse and told him he better be ready for the ride of the century? maybe. LOL

check out my blog @ amberlashell.com

Annah said...

Steve: Tell me about it, buddy. I'm taking it as a sign that it just wasn't meant to be.

Amber: I laughed hard at your post. And the answer is yes. They would be totally intimidated. Or think I was a whore. One or the other without a doubt. LMAO

MonsteRawr said...

Funny, I've been thinking about giving myself bangs lately, but now that I know that it ends with giving away my parachute I think I'll pass.

Scarlett said...

Hi! Totally new reader just stopping by to thank you for the chorus of "Whooooo we're halfway there, WHOOOOOOAAAA! Livin' on a PRAYER!" that is going to be echoing in my head for the rest of the week.

I love your writing, and your bangs look stunning. :D
