I'm not kidding!

A couple of days ago, a friend approached me with the idea of converting my pretty-much-defunct blog into a One Direction blog. She said that the fandom needed a 1D blog written from an adult perspective. The more I thought about it, the more sense it made. I mean, why not? I have undeniably turned into a Directioner, and with the help of my 14-year-old 1D-obsessed daughter, Gin, I keep up with the current news better than even the people of the age group who are *supposed* to like these guys.

So, I've decided to give it a shot. I thought about what kind of direction the blog should take (NO PUN), and I think it will have to be observational and opinion sort of things - in other words, the same sort of tone my posts have always taken but this time with a FOCUS. Isn't that exciting?  (If I drive away my two remaining loyal readers, sorry about that.)

This blog will get a little fangirly (consider yourself warned), share a little news and some pictures (I will link and credit the stuff like mad, and if anyone owns rights or wants something taken down that belongs to them, YOU GOT IT! I don't want to make waves.) You'll mainly be getting my perspective on things that are out there, because I don't exactly have an "in" to the exclusives (or do I? Well, we'll see about that.) Expect to see a LOT of the stuff I'm sent on Twitter. 

I'll also give you my take on the latest spinning around in the rumour mill. After all, that's what everyone's talking about, isn't it?

Before I go, let me reiterate the title of this post - I'm not kidding. This is not a joke. If you don't believe me, wait until tomorrow (or when I get around to writing. I certainly can't promise daily, but I'll work on it.)

In the meantime, enjoy this video of the boys after winning the Brit Award in 2012. :)

As promised, my rant against the gay marriage bans

Image
I haven't taken the time to outline this post, so it will probably start to wander all over the place. Consider yourself warned. But here's my rant on California's Prop 8 and the two other gay marriage bans that were enacted by the voters on Tuesday. Let's go over the standard arguments against gay marriage, and I'll address them one by one. (Thanks to the jackasses at nogaymarriage.com for making this easier.) Maybe it'll help keep this a little more organized, but I still don't promise not to stray a bit. * God says it's bad, according to the Book, anyway. We have no business legalizing behavior prohibited by God. Alright, I'm going to get the God argument out of the way right now. We're not talking about church doctrine, we're talking about law - as in man's law. The church doesn't apply on a legal issue. Each church has the right to decide whether or not they will bless the union of a same-sex couple or a heterosexual couple, but

Sunday dinner: Garth Brooks' mother's cabbage rolls

Image
So, last weekend at my mother's house, mom, the girls and I got onto the subject of food - naturally - and Gin mentioned that she would like more things with cooked cabbage. ... Yeah, I know, right? But I mentioned that really the only way I like cooked cabbage - other than in the form of saurkraut over some bratwurst - is the cabbage rolls my mom makes. She dug out the recipe, so that had to go on the menu. This particular recipe I don't claim as my own, or even my mother's. She found it years ago somewhere, touted as the recipe for cabbage rolls that Garth Brooks said his mother made for him. I looked it up online and saw it appear in a few forums, but I didn't see an "original" anywhere, so I thought I'd go ahead and list it here, too. If objections happen to come down the pike at some point, I'll be more than willing to take it down, if there are copyright issues or something. I'd love to credit the original source, but I don't know wha
