The Life of Bon: A Thousand Words

A Thousand Words

Today you are going to see a lot of pictures that have absolutely no business being on a blog.  Blogs are for beautiful pictures where you look good, where the lighting is perfect, where people are happy and healthy.  These picutres are none of those things.  But they are endearing in their own, freak way and I couldn't help but laugh as I looked at all of these.  Okay some of them.  Others are just cringe worthy.  

Happy Monday!

March 2010.  The predecessor to fashion blogging... posing on cars.  Why yes, I am a freak of nature who likes to relax on the hood of her car.  Doesn't everybody do this?

This was two months after I bought my first car.  I was overly excited, obviously.  Also, I remember loving that dress and now I just look at it and think, "oh girl..."


April 2010 Death by maniacal light saber holder in 3, 2, 1...
This was one of my first ever classes. I student taught this group of wild ninth graders. The kid behind me with the coy "too cool for school" look may have been one of my favorite students ever.  Every time I was chewing gum he asked me for a piece.  I always said no until he offered to buy individual pieces of gum from me. He once offered to pay a dollar for a piece of gum.  I told him that was a terrible deal and he responded, "okay, fine, TWO DOLLARS?!?"

A picture of my friend taking a picture of a fake cop.  FAKE COPS?  What has the world come to?  That friend's name is Brooke and now she lives in Alasha.  The places we'll go.

I owned my car for three months and had already ran into a curb and knocked off the hub cap.  These were in my bad driving days- the day this picture was taken I had gotten two speeding tickets.  SOMEONE HELP THE WOMAN BEHIND THE WHEEL.  Also, I am still a bad driver.  But I get less tickets.

August 2010- For Mandy's birthday a bunch of shirtless boys came over to our apartment.  Don't ask what is going on here because no body knows except for that I think it is clear that they think they are much better looking than they are.  But don't we all think that?

August 2010- My first ever picture of Greg.  He's not desperate for attention, is he?

I have no idea who this woman is or why there is a picture of her on my computer or why she is jumping off of a bed.  Somehow this picture just exists.  Can someone somewhere tell me who she is and why she's on my computer, oh please?!?  (Also, is it just me or does she look like she is about to take a hard fall?)

June 2010- For my 24th birthday my friends surprised the crap out of me with a surprise birthday party.  After they all shouted surprise this guy came up and gave me a huge hug and told me that I deserved the best birthday ever.  I had never seen him before and I have never seen him since.

Why can I even make that face?

SHIRTLESS GINGER.  Foaming at the mouth.  Now do you understand why I could not resist this man?

October 2010- Halloween.  This guy was dating our friend, Brooke, for awhile.  They stopped dating, praise the heavens because Brooke was really too good for him.  But he dressed up like Michael Phelps for Halloween and that was almost enough to keep him around except for, well, no.

August 2011 My husband sleeping on the airport floor with three other women.  

August 2011.  THAT MAN ON THE RIGHT IS HAGRID.  We saw him at an airport in Scotland and our friend, Josh, insisted on singing him a song on the guitar.  It was all sorts of awkward and remains as one of the best moments of my life.  You could tell that Hagrid just wanted to hightail it out of there, but he was kind enough to sit and listen to Josh's love song which makes me think even that much more highly of everything Harry Potter.

  6. This post is so much more funny (funnier isn't a word, right?) and overall better than a fashion blogger's post! Thanks Bonnie for a little bit of giggles on a Sunday night.

    I would probably pee my pants if I saw any member of the Harry Potter cast. And Emma Watson? I would just about die!

  8. I think I'm definitely going to say that the belly flop girl is my favorite of these because how random! Pretty up close picture for not knowing who she is haha. And maybe there's a bed we can't see?...second is definitely the Hagrid one because OMG HAGRID. I would cry but laugh at the awkwardness of him listening to someone play a song that he did not care to hear xD
