The Munroe Mansion - Update
October 28, 2009
The Calamity Girl - Chic Lit
October 8, 2009
I've started writing a new chic lit blog on wordpress and I'll be adding a new story to it every month.Eventually i'll do it twice a month but at the moment I'm concentrating on other projects trying to get them done.
This fictional story is in first person and the main character's name is Rachel Tornquist, she's single , in her twenties and dating all the wrong kinds of men!
I will be writing genres in romantce, mystery and humor in my chic lit. :)
The Munroe Mansion - Book One - The Beginning
October 8, 2009
I've been busy revising Book One of The Munroe Series and writing in where there are gaps in the story line. I'm on page 219 and I just realized I have written over 200 pages of manuscript in the past month (a total of 8 days) , not bad!The story is coming along pretty good and now I'm also doing research on various books.
Getting ideas on how to portray a character, a plot, a prop in the story and more.
This month I'm reading Johanna Lindsey books and I just finished her No Choice But Seduction.
I wrote a book review on The Idea Girl Says Word Press today, so If you want to know more take a look at that site.
As part of the book proposals, I'll be comparing my book to Johanna's because we write along the same lines.
She has the Mallory Family, I have the Munroe Family.
She talks about the families, relationships and romances mixed with adventure, I do the same.
she is classified as romance, I think mine will be classified as Paranormal Romance, because I intend to write in a lot of "psychic and spiritual type characters with special powers and how it enriches their lives and protects them from evil."
Celebrity Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth - Popular Subject.
October 8, 2009
I've been busy blogging on word press about various celebrities and today I had the shock of my life, over 5000 hits to look at a picture of Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth kissing?I also talked about them dating on my Idea Girl Consulting Word Press site.
I can't believe that I spent a whole day posting about 50 music videos on my site and one lousy picture gets over 5000 views?
Whats up with that! LOL
I think I'll just get a camera, and go join the paparrazi and take some pictures.
I guess people just like looking at stuff?
Or is it because Miley Cyrus is wearing a black bra under a wet white tshirt and all the little boys out there are getting OVERLY excited about it? LOL

The Idea Girl Says Word Press
July 15, 2009 by Linda Randall
The Idea Girl Says is my new blog on Word Press.I plan to blog a journal of everyday activities and adventures for fun.
I find Twitter doesn't care for my many tweets, so I'll tweet on there instead.
It keeps up my writing, ideas and typing skills and hopefully it will amuse all of you!
Blog Catalog
July 19, 2009
I've been using Blog Catalog now for a month with some amazing results.My Idea Girl Consulting Word Press site has gone from 100 hits per day up to 1000 within a month!
Sure I get about 300 emails every 3 days, but then I get to look at some awesome websites and do a link exchange.
I post comments on their site with my URLS and they do the same. It works great and I find it pretty entertaining.
I usually do it on the weekends, during my slower times and then I only post a few things on my blogs to keep my readers happy.
I get a lot of feedback from people looking at my sites, and they leave comments, which is great for Google Stats.
Constant traffic will attract the spiders to your site, I am finding that out now.
I've managed to increase my page rank with Google from 0 to 2, with 3 being the average rating for most sites.
My goal is to generate lots of traffic to my blogs as well as find new readers for my sites.
So far it's doing really well, most people enjoy my sites!
The Guys in Perspective had the best comment though, "You have a hip blog."
That made me feel like a million bucks, when 3 guys told me they loved my blog!

I had tried out for it about 6 months ago and was told I needed to work on my lenses. it was shortly after that I was invited to become a part of Wi Won Team. They have helped me with my lenses, and made them so much clearer and better. I've even deleted about 3 or 4 of the one's I had, due to lack of interest.

A man with a tender heart and soul, we will greatly miss you Michael Jackson, RIP.
Adam Lambert, Kris Allen - American Idol - Idea Girl Consulting WordPress
July 3, 2009
Yes I know, I was voting for Adam Lambert too! It was a real let down when Kris Allen won, but then I felt okay when I realized it was BETTER for Adam this way. He's not tied down to any one year contract with American Idol and he's free to do as he pleases!He's promised to release his new single later this year, probably in November, just in time for Christmas!
He's going to deliver a whole new sound and tunes for us to enjoy.
Hello Elvis Presley, Your Kingdom is soon to be invaded by the Lambert fans!

July 3, 2009
I've been posting some hilarious Potter Puppets and Blooper Videos on Idea Girl Consulting WordPress from the Harry Potter filming crews.Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince will be out in theatres on July 15th. I can't wait to see my favorite actors in the new, scary, dark Harry Potter sequel. It's hard to believe that the last movie will be shown in 2010 and we will all be disappointed to say goodbye to Harry Potter.
I wonder if they will find a way to keep the story going somehow? Maybe a spin off? I know we have Twilight New Moon to keep us happy for the next couple of years, then what?

July 3, 2009
I've been doing a "psychic" investigation on Victoria (Tori) Stafford's abduction. It all started with me having a few dreams, documenting them and then attending A History of a Haunting. I spoke to two psychics, one told me I would be writing a book based on what ghosts say to me. The other answered my question, "Is Victoria Stafford near Burlington or Woodstock?" Zoltar's reply was, "She be in Woodstock."Now I don't know if that means her body is in Woodstock or I'm supposed to follow the trail from Woodstock. I've been posting clues, pictures and dreams that i've been having on my Idea Girl Consulting Wordpress site. Look under Category : Victoria (Tori) Stafford.

Is a Website Important for a Business to Have?
May 7, 2009 Written by: Linda Randall
Statistics say that if you have a website for your business, it will increase your sales by 30%. It also lets people know where you are located and what types of products or services that you provide.If it is a retail store, then people can plan a shopping trip with you in mind. If it's a business service - consulting, management, customer service etc, then they can use Google Maps to find directions and get some general knowledge about your business. It's a great way to market you as well. People tend to trust someone who is "out" there instead of someone who doesn't bother to keep up with the times. There is so much competition out there these days that you have to stay current in order to get ahead.
Find out what the latest tactics are to draw customers your way. Establish yourself as an expert at what you do. People will trust your judgment and believe in you every step of the way. This helps to provide good business sense to your customers and let's them feel comfortable that you provide a stable environment for them to work with.
Idea Girl Consulting Blog on Word Press is getting lots of viewers, so I post articles on there about my Squidoo sites and it has been extremely successful in bringing traffic to the site.
Career Plans - #1
It feels great to finally see my dreams become a reality! I have been waiting three years for this moment in time. And it feels absolutely exhausting! You know dreams can take a lot of work? You plan and re plan and then plan again, and it always seems that "Murphy's law" throws a monkey wrench in your plans and adjusts every single thing.Even your career plans can change several times over a two year period of time. I know, because I'm living it in the here and now. This past year has been the most difficult for me. Try starting a new career with no money, no education and no idea if your even good enough for the job.
It was a whim, and a desperate thought, that I had to create a new career for myself, with many physical limitations almost impeding me every step of the way. I'm speaking from the heart when I say, "Now I know what those learn to be a writer novels mean by being persistent!"
When everything seems to be going against you, take a step back and look at the big picture. What is limiting you from reaching your goal? Make a list of the things you want to do this year. Then make a list of things you know you will definitely accomplish with no problems or setbacks.
Save the last list for those things you really want to do but you may have barriers along the way. Remember the First thing is this, everything in life in temporal and things are subject to change.
Baby Steps - #2
Secondly, take your goals in baby steps if you have to, every step is closer to achieving that dream of yours. Reward Yourself - #3
Thirdly, pat yourself on the back and reward yourself with something small for each "little" goal that you accomplish Network of Friends - #4
The Fourth thing to remember is to create a good strong network of friends, and loved ones, that are backing you along the way. On those rough days, you collect a hug, a kiss and a "I know you can do it" word of advice from your team of supporters. Journal - #5
The Fifth thing is to note in your day planner, or journal that you have arrived! The goal is completed and now you can focus all your time and energy on the next one. If you find that your meeting a lot of resistance along the way, take a step back, do something easy, fun and enjoyable then go back to achieving that goal. The Mansion On The Hill - #6
My biggest goal and dream started in August 2008. My goal was to complete a 100,000 word novel called The Mansion On The Hill. It is "Far" from perfect, but I figure a great Editor will be required and since they have to edit it anyways, I'll give them lots of things to edit? LOL I just had to say that Writing - #7
You know when you're not great at grammar or spelling and even if you have a grade 12 education, it seems you always will need to learn a few more pointers in the world of writing. After many hours of toiling over a computer, writing by hand, having hand cramps, neck aches and back problems, to finally say, "I'm finished my final draft and I'm ready to show the world what I can do."Then you know that you have arrived. I kept at it, I persisted, and I got it finished, a little late, yes, but it's somewhat ready for the public to enjoy! I wrote at a grade 5 level only because according to statistics, many people out there cannot read.
So I wrote in easy English so that a fourth grade student could read and understand the story I have to tell. It's full of action, adventure, humor and great characters that you as the reader will learn to love and hate. I have posted what I call 17 mini chapters on the website (not actual chapters) but I've created little chapters so that when you're having a coffee and a break, you can log into the site and read a few words here and there
Imagination - #8
There are also pictures (compliments of Google images) so that you can get an idea of what my imagination as conjured for you. These pictures are not actually in the book, but they are there so that you can have fun using your imagination as you read the story that surrounds each picture. A picture book for adults! I thought it would be COOL to do!I've also created what is called, "Novel Notes" This is where an author will do research on historical facts, times, places etc. So I've shared that and more. It's a great site for researching the early 1900's and I found it quite inspiring to know that folks in that time frame were facing uncertain economic times and went through what was the worst depression in history 1929-1937.
Who knows maybe 2009 will now be deemed the WORST depression Era! You can find my novel posted on my Squidoo site. I do need to apologize, I haven't written in awhile because somehow I actually forgot how to log in. Squidoo tech support sent me the wrong username information, and for the life of me, I drew a blank.
At least I put the time to good use and got the novel out of the way! Or so I thought, now I am rewriting the whole novel and I'm working on the First Novel of the Series, It's going to be called The Munroe Mansion. Now I can focus on doing more articles for you to enjoy and I'm going to be working on book 2 of my series.
CONNIE TALBOT - THREE LITTLE BIRDS
Three Little Birds
The sun-dappled video for 'Three Little Birds' was filmed in Jamaica during the Talbot family's Easter holiday -- the perfect setting for this glorious Marley song, which, through Connie's rendition, zings with the joy of youth on a happy, sunshine drenched day.

Connie Talbot Says - Don't Worry About A Thing
This week I was looking at You tube Videos and came across this very talented little girl named Connie Talbot who sings a song called "Three Little Birds."I have no idea why I never heard of her before (feeling kind of foolish here) but now I'm a fan.
I love her rich voice, her youth and I'm not a Music Guru but her voice reminded me of Patsy Cline right away. I always wonder about reincarnation, when I see someone who is so young, singing with an "older" sounding voice.
She's never had any music lessons and she was one of the final contestants on Simon Cowell - Britain's Got Talent back in 2007, at the age of 6 years old.
Amazing! Is all that I can say. I look forward to following her career in the years to come and I adore her musical qualities.
Feed The Birds
It was a beautiful sunny day today and once outside, hiking in the green forest with my family, I really didn't have any worries.I didn't think about any of my bills or the work that needed to be done; instead I just sat back and relaxed for once in my life. We decided to have lunch with a friend, do some shopping at the flea market and feed the ducks, seagulls, swans and geese along the pier.
It was fun! I tossed bits of bread up and the seagulls were catching them in midair! I've never seen it done before. I usually toss the bread down towards the water and they swoop, fight and squawk to catch it.
Think Outside Of The Box
Today I decided to" go outside the box" and toss it up in the air, and I was amazed at the eye co-ordination of these birds as they caught every piece of bread within seconds. The first snap of the beak, the bread was gone. I originally went to feed the geese and ducks, but I ended up having so much fun with the seagulls that they got most of my bread today.Actually there were three of us tossing the bread, buns and stale bagels up in the air so it was quite noisy with thirty birds fighting for a bite to eat. This has become a hobby of ours.
I was tired of throwing out half a loaf of bread every other week. Sure I'd put it in the freezer, but after a few months it would get freezer burn. Now I save up my bread and once the grocery bag is full, I defrost it in the microwave for 1.5 minutes, then we go to the pier and feed the birds. It would have been nice if I had remembered to bring my camera today.
A video of the seagulls would have been fascinating with some funny music (You tube idea!). There were loads of people there enjoying the show. The moral of this story wasn't just, "Three little birds," it was oodles of birds, bits of bread and lots of laughs!
Organize Your Office - Hat Boxes
I think my hobby of collecting hat boxes and colorful boxes was the best thing I ever did. Not only does it make the room very colorful and pretty but it also is a great way to store things and remember exactly what's in them Organize Your Office - Clear Storage Boxes
Before I used the rubbermaid containers and they are great for big and bulky things like your summer or winter clothing. I got the clear plastic rectangular containers with lids for my gloves, hats and scarves and purses. They fit nicely under the bed and are easy and accessible to anyone who needs them. Organize Your Office - Colorful Photo Boxes
I even use the colorful photo boxes to store my pens and notebooks and office supplies in. I found that I kept putting stuff in regular cardboard boxes up in the closet then I would happen to forget about it. This was not cost effective in any way, shape or form. Inventory - Office Supplies
Now I can open the lid and do a quick inventory every month on what is needed and what may be required in the near future. I still haven't found a container that is meditation related. I find flowers, chic prints and world travel pictures. I collect Paris, London and Italy art work as well as the little boxes. Office Decorating Themes
I have since created several themes in my home and each has some sort of meaning to me. The desire to write and travel is in my office. My kitchen is of the cafes of Paris and London. The Living room is landscape pictures and works of art. The bedroom is a collection of older works of houses and people. I find I don't look at my walls in my bedroom too much so I put the not so great stuff in there. If I ever get a larger home and more rooms I will put in a modern art area. Organize Your Office - Venice Art Boxes
I have started with the metal works of art that can be picked up in the clearance section of Home Depot. That's where I've found the majority of my treasures. I love to buy everything on sale. I did buy a Venice case at full price. I figured with only two in stock and the chance that more would not be ordered; I grabbed it because I fell in love with the thing. Organize Your Office - Collect Souvenirs
I kind of feel like I have travelled and picked up souvenirs along the way, another great place to shop for world wide travel type gifts is in Niagara on the Lake. There are several shops there that focus on Scotland, England and Paris as well as third country works of art Organize Your Office - Leather Suitcases
It's just easier to work in an organized office if you take the time to do it. I saw a picture of a teacher's office that used old leather suitcases for storage and it looked pretty cool. It was a small room in an attic and this gentleman travels the world and takes all his earthly possessions with him.He has his desk up for sale and gives an interesting story about what his life as a writer and teacher has been.
Be Organized -Text Messaging
Touch Screen Monitors - Chapters
I sometimes go into Chapters just to play with the screen and do research on the types of books that are on sale and what will be available in the next month or so. It's a great way to find out reading trends and look at what material is in demand and what is not. Read My Tweets - The Idea Girl

Henriette's Hairstyling
As Idea Girl Consulting, I just finished my first client's web page and I was shocked to see the site getting more hits then my own, and began to wonder why.Is it because my site is listed under books? (I changed it to business) or was it because Henriette knows a lot of people on Facebook?
It could be because of the You Tube video I put on there with Mr. Bean trying to do a haircut. It's quite comical and had me in a fit of giggles.
Create A Survey
Now I find myself adding funny You tube segments to all of my sites in relation to the subject of the site. In building research sites, they can be rather dry at times, but mixed with humor, not only did I get more traffic to the site, I got some response. I put little mini surveys on the sites asking what age group is reading it.I use this information to decide on what type of content to add to the site. So far my readers tend to be from ages 30 to 49, so I'm trying to figure out how to get to the younger generation

Many of the sites I have designed are great research tools for all kinds of school subjects, party planning and family activities. Squidoo Ratings
Please click on the stars to rate my Squidoo Pages. The only catch is that you have to be logged into Squidoo to do it. I wish they would change that policy!I guess it's going to be all trial and error for me. In Squidoo, I still cannot figure out how my lens can be #12,000 yet be rated #151?

Squidoo Addict
I still don't understand it all but I'm having fun and I swear I am addicted to making a new Lens every week.I hope people will enjoy them and use them.
I figured I'd make life easier for some by building research and information sites.
Where everything you need is in one place, rather than spending hours (like I do) finding sites with relevant information and details that I would need, say to write a good essay on any given subject.
Add To Your Lens Roll
I did find an interesting tool called a lens roll.After 3 months of staring at it, clicking on it, looking around for information about it and trying to figure out what it was all about, I finally got it today.
Once I looked at the "Lens of the Day" and noticed he had a "Lens Roll of Favorites."
I experimented again and finally added a Lens Roll to my site!
Sign In First - Add A Site To Your Lens Roll
The trick is you have to sign into Squidoo, then open up another window and view various sites, if you scroll down on the right side you will see a happy face that says "Lens Roll" , you click on it and Voila!That lens is added on your sidebar.
Rate Someone's Site
Also make sure you take some time to rate the sites as well and hopefully they will do the same for you.You can view all of my Squidoo Lenses under My Bio.

RETScreen International - Greg Leng
May 12, 2009 - Written by: Linda Randall Source * St Catharines Standard - Green Team
RETScreen International - Greg LengThere was an article featured by the Green Team - Matthew Van Dongen and Tiffany Mayer in the St Catharines Standard today about RETScreen International. You can email them at: standard@stcatharinesstandard.ca Subject: Green Team
RETScreen International is Renewable Energy and Energy Efficient Technologies. This software program has been used for local water power generators and biomass plants. RETScreen is a federal government software program that evaluates potential renewable energy projects.
For sustainable energy worldwide and has over 200,000 users. Greg Leng is the Director of the Natural Resources Canada Program. The software program was created by Greg Leng at the University of Massachusett's Master's Thesis and it's aimed at professional engineers, planners and architects. But it can be used to estimate energy production, building costs and green house --gas savings for projects of any size.
Non- technical homeowners make use of the program too. RETScreen will tell you if you have enough solar energy in your area to justify installing a solar water heater. It will determine how much energy, and money you'll save and provide a list of product supplies. Larger Product Developers will use the program to cut costs on preliminary research and "screens out the bad projects" quickly.
It was used to determine whether to build a wind farm in Niagara. The question was; Is it worthwhile pursuing this project? In past it might have cost you $50,000 to $100,000 to answer that question. Expert Program will do it for $500 or $1,000. The Program can save millions of dollars for fledgling green energy development projects. Greg Leng said the program has saved about $4 billion over the last decade.
They say that, "Projects associated with RETScreen will keep the equivalent of 20 million tones of carbon dioxide annually out of the environment by 2012."
It's a proven money saver - the Federal Government gives out the software for free. "The goal of the program has always been to remove barriers to a much broader implementation of clean energy, not to store them up," Leng said.
The United Nations, The World Bank and even NASA have all invested in RETScreen over the last decade. The program is available in 35 languages. In St Catharines, Rankin Construction used the program for a "ball park" potential of its proposed hydro power project on the Welland Canal by Engineer Jordan Beckhuis. The company is now finishing the last of the three two-megawatt turbines using canal water to pump out electricity.
This software program is being used in over 170 Universities and Colleges. If you want to check out the program for yourself visit:

Fetching RSS feed... please stand byThe Munroe Series On Word Press
July 23,2009
I have created 4 websites on Word Press so far for The Munroe Series.The Munroe Mansion, The SS America and The Totenmyer Cottage are now posted on Word Press as well as Squidoo.
I haven't gotten much traffic there yet, but I still have to promote the book. I was going to wait until the script was finished before I really push it.
I'm also slowly revising book one which was written in June 2009, a 60,000 word count, it's better then my work from August 2008.
I'm finding the beginning of the script a bit disjointed in speech, with little dialog.
That seems to be my pattern of late, all narration then I flow into dialog and the story seems to flow so much better!
I am not working on the manuscript full time, because it's tedious and boring to edit.
I hate typing, reading and correcting stuff.
If it wasn't for Microsoft Word, I fear my manuscript would be pretty crappy grammar wise.
Oh well with time, comes perfection, right? :)
Victoria Stafford A Pyschic Investigation On Word Press
July 23, 2009
I had to start a site on Word press because my photos are too big for Squidoo!I should get some sort of photo program (probably already have one) where I can crop the pictures to a smaller size and make them easier to upload!
Even when loading to Word Press or Picasa it takes ages to upload!
I did load a bunch of thumbnails but they look too small!
I will get back to it eventually.
I have many projects on the go at the moment and I'm trying to catch up on my to do list from last month!

Jessie Foster A Psychic Investigation
August 31, 2009

In the past few months I've been making sites about psychic investigations based on dreams, visions and thoughts that have come to mind. Collaborating with Harold the ghost hunter in my remote viewing we have put our heads together on several cases so far with some surprising results.
It's strange that i'll have a dream and write it down in my dream journal, then I'll find out a few days later that Harold has a similar dream or vision. Some are almost exactly alike and others are a little bit different but they are another piece to a puzzle that has to be solved.
Instead of just writing down a bunch of clues, I also post notes for detectives to search for certain things to define what needs to be investigated and what should be looked at.
Whether it means reopening an unsolved murder mystery, old notes, files about a case or looking for new clues, it will help in the investigations.
With remote viewing all you get are words, phrases, pictures and visions that are jumbled and at times don't make any sense at all!
But when you slowly put the clues together and look outside of the box of normal things, then you see a pattern emerge,
I also take into account anything that happens in my personal life, for clues.
I've learned since the Victoria Stafford case that every little thing can point to something. Even if it seems right off the wall.
Like my car breaking down on Islington Ave in Toronto. It was across from a Thistle Park and when I looked it up it led me to Chicago and Millennium Park there.
During the Victoria Stafford Investigation I found a Millennium Park dedicated to someone named Ross.
When I did my first search for jesse, I found a guy named Jesse Ross, noted the name and tucked it away in mind.
Then when I was told to search for Jesie, I found Jessie Foster and Harold identified her picture as one of the three ghosts that had visited us with Roxanne Paltauf and a little boy.
We still haven't figured out who the little boy was but his description is recorded and anyone that I cannot figure out by Google is filed under Ghosts with Unfinished Business.
Once I gather clues for a person, then I'll make a website dedicated to the notes about them and other peoples You tube videos and any clues that I find about the case online.
I also have to look at the psychic clues, and hopefully people who read Brian's dreams or other psychic sites will post the clues from them on my site as well. My sleuths.com is pretty thorough in their clues and threads and they have posted a few things here and there as well.
Currently we have Jessie Foster, Roxanne Paltauf, Loretta Lynn Roberts, Jesse Ross, Rachel Cooke, Victoria Stafford and Greg Alexander Silah (and family) under investigation by remote viewing or psychic dreams and visions.
I've created Squidoo pages for them.
Movie and Book Reviews
August 31, 2009

I attended lots of movies this summer and I've been reading the Shopaholic Series from Sophie Kinsella.
The movie reviews I post on Idea Girl Consulting and The Idea Girl Says on WordPress.
My Witty Woman Today, I've only been posting funny videos and writing funny stories about things that have happened to me. Sometimes I'll share someone else's story if it's hilarious!
This is my first time watching 3 D movies and now I'm hooked on them!
It's almost as good as visiting Canada's Wonderland in Toronto, Ontario. (Something we did twice this summer!)
The 100 Squidoo Lens Challenge for September 30th, 2009
August 31, 2009
I finished most of my lenses around the first week of August and reached my 100 mark, now I've made 111 lenses but I deleted a few of them because I named them under something else and changed things around.I've created a big group of lenses about The Munroe Series based on the fourteen novels I've written and will be revising them as well!
I am also having fun making fictional character profiles, settings, places, with actual pictures of the places that really exist only my story is totally fictional about them.
When I originally wrote the script I was unaware that any of these places existed!
Then when I did a google search for Place Royale ( making sure it wasn't a book title) I found several things from my book actually existed!
Now i'm wondering if I'm writing from a past life, or if my psychic abilities are kicking in and there are really some unsolved murder mysteries from that area!
Who knows!
In the next few years, I plan to travel to Quebec Canada to find out if maybe some of this stuff really did happen and that would be kind of freaky!

Miley's New Boyfriend

She leaves two guys and ends up dating her costar who left his girlfriend? I wonder how long this romance will last and with there be two broken hearts or only one?
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth may have created some bad Karma for themselves by leaving other relationships and coming together. If that is indeed the fact, then they will do it again.
Cocky attitude from Liam Hemsworth with Miley Cyrus
Not crazy about this pic.

To me it looks like Liam Hemsworth has a cocky attitude and he's really into himself in this pic?

It's her way of being herself, a sexy kitten that has to hide it all from the public, but in the end, it's all revealed. :)
Sexy chickie you look hot! :)
