I wouldn't call myself an open book, but there are many things that I could care less if people know about me... I love the Kardashians, 2 of my favorite movies are Hocus Pocus and Home Alone (yes, I'm like a 9 year old), I hate alone time and would rather be hanging out with friends/family 9 times out of 10, I cannot paint my own nails (literally it's embarrassing), I despise hair - namely loose hair on the ground (vom.com), I don't read books, I'm a freak when it comes to spelling and grammar, and I can't live without Twizzlers (original strawberry twists). That is all common knowledge. If you ever get a Lizz pop quiz and you'll pass now. There is, however, one thing that I don't ever publicize... until now.
I can carry a tune. There, I said it. I can sing a song and not have the mirrors shatter. There's about 5 people who knows this, so consider yourself in the know if you're reading this. In my head, in the shower, my car, and my apartment I like to think I'm Jennifer Nettles, but really that's not even remotely close to the truth. I'm not trying to be Mariah (on fiah) or Beyonce (the Queen B), that is not the goal. I just appreciate not being completely tone deaf. And honestly, if I was tone deaf, it wouldn't be no thang, but you see, there's family history with people who have strong pipes & make a living from it. So basically it would really fucking suck to not have a little bit of that in my genes. TG I lucked out a wee bit on that tip, but that doesn't mean I'm running to audition for American Idol.
While I have envisioned American Idol being my big break I would NEVER, I repeat NEVER, do such a thing. Two words: stage fright. It'll get ya every time. I feel my anxiety swelling just thinking about it. To be honest, I'd rather sing in my car than get rich and famous, so conquering stage fright is not numero uno on my priority list. There is one small singing challenge that has been brought upon me that I have given much consideration to giving into... karaoke. It's one of those, if you do it, I will then do it deals. Keep in mind this deal was made over a year ago and this still hasn't happened.
What will it take, you ask? My thoughts are a lot of wine - not hard liquor cause that will just be a hot mess. Preferably this would go down in a dive bar with townies who would love every note that came out of my mouth, even if I wasn't singing Thunder or Crazy Train. Anyways I'm clearly getting ahead of myself because this isn't going to happen.... unless, of course, I happen to end up in a dive bar with a karaoke machine and a few glasses of vino running through my veins. Never say never, right?!
Note to self, please don't ever ask me to sing. It won't happen.
take it or leave it: I'm sure many of you have seen this already, but I couldn't resist. These little girls were on Ellen today after she saw their Nicki Minaj cover on YouTube. They're from England and their accents really just push me over the edge. This is the cutest/funniest thing I've seen in awhile. I wish this was me when I was little. Ellen Show - Nicki Minaj cover
