It’s the Best Day Ever! Part 2

| Viciously Sweet

How can today get better?

I can tell you how! IT’S ISABEL’S BIRTHDAY TOO!!!!!

I’m nearly hyperventilating with excitement at this point! And now I bring to you part 2 of the best day ever!

Okay so besides deciding that Isabel should take the place of “Bill Nye Science Guy” and become “Isabel Science Gal” with beautiful Clay Aiken as her assistant, I have created a list of 10 wonderful things about Isabel on this the day of her birth:

1. She knows where to get some great crepes, and that is a great aid in friendship!

2. She doesn’t like scary movies, to the point where she screams when nothing scary happens!

3. She is genuinely good-natured about practically everything I tease her about. She’s one of those people who take most things in stride. Who else would be in a 9 year (fake) relationship with American Idol Superstar Clay Aiken?

4. Isabel is possibly the best person to stare at ever! We have a Stare-A-thon dedicated to her every November 20th-December 20th, which everyone can join in!

5. She gives the best advice ever… and she doesn’t make you feel like a crazy when you ask her really strange questions.

6. Isabel has this fear of sticky things, that is hilarious… the thought of a child covered in sticky ice cream residue makes her want to die a little.

7. She is the master of science! Actually she’s currently PHD’ing all over the town with science! I bet you she could make a mondo awesome paper mache volcano!

8.  Isabel loves mice so much that she no longer practices science tests on them, she is trying to become the patron saint of rodents.

9. She has the largest collection of Weezer shirts (this may not be true, but it’s what I’d like to imagine.)

10. She once owned a bean bag that was the size of a couch… it was called a love sac. Although the name was gross it was very comfy. She once told me about what happened to it… but I forgot what it’s fate actually was.

So Magical Dr. Isabel. I hope you have a magnificent day filled with lots of deliciousness. I also hope that your year is more fun than inter-tubing with Donald Trump in a pool of conditioner!

Isabel Stare-A-thon: Periscope wrap up

| Viciously Sweet

Hello stare-ers!
Whether you are a new fan of the stare-a-thon, or an old staring buddy we here at Viciously Sweet thank you for enjoying a month dedicated to staring at Isabel!

Now that the time has come to dismantle our newly purchased periscopes I can only tell you one thing..

I hope you bought that convenient periscope holder so you can store it until the next Stare-a-thon:

 

Remember you will be judged by other starers for improper periscopes use…You will be scoffed at by the throngs of starers who will say “Check out that periscopes current condition” and then they will full-heartedly guffaw at you, and then you will be all embarrassed and you will have to stare at home online by yourself… and not with the people.

Also remember there is also a closing ceremony next Monday.

STARE-A-THON 2011. OUT.

Isabel Stare-A-Thon 2011: A Note From the Founder

| Viciously Sweet

I don’t get to say that I am the founder of many things. I mean I could say I’m the founder of Southern Canada, but that hasn’t happened yet. I could also say I created KFC,  but yet again that is a lie. And I am super bad at telling the fibs.

What I can say is that 4 years ago I started a little tiny holiday that was supposed to celebrate my friend Isabel. For the following reasons:

1. She’s really awesome

2. She’s is about 120 miles away and its a bit far when you work the 9-5 and school 24/7

3. I like staring at things, and being in architecture school I didn’t get to see my pals for quite a long time.

So when I graduated I set a goal to “see” my friends, and at the same time create a holiday to celebrate her awesomeness.. So I got this brilliant idea to stare…. directly at Isabel, and I much like her truest love Clay Aiken I never want to stop looking at her.

Now we take a month to take in Isabel. And it’s a beautiful thing.

Also I hope everyone who is staring this year is enjoying their periscopes.

Professional Quote Of the Day: December 12th

| Viciously Sweet

It’s that magical time of the day where I need to quote my ever so professional co-worker. Sadly, the Professional Quote of the Day has not been in daily observance due to the importance of the Isabel Stare-A-thon 2011.

Frankly, I cannot take my eyes off of my periscope pointed San Diego way to get a steady flow of professional quotes a happening this holiday season.

But today is different. Today is a quote I have been saving for a special occasion, and this cold rainy afternoon is that very occasion. So without further ado I present to you a Professional Christmas Quote:

Don’t you love the joy of Eric’s professional words in glittery Christmas text?

Now, lets all get back to staring at Isabel!

Isabel Stare-A-Thon 2011: Back to Clay-sics

| Viciously Sweet

Good Stare-A-thon Monday to you world!

With 9 tender official days of the stare-a-thon left I decided to find out how Clay Aiken (Isabel’s truest love) feels about the stare-a-thon:

The answer is… he has never heard of it.

PSYCH!

He loves it! He ordered his periscope early and has been watching her from Clay’s La Jolla bar/grill/ Isabel Stare-Zone

Really a Real Place. You should go there.

He is one of the founding members of the Gingers-For-Staring-At-Isabel-Initiative (GFSAII), which is not 200 members strong!

 

In fact today he’s even introducing an official Isabel Stare-A-Thon song, which you can hear on his latest Heart-Aiken album:

So today be just like Clay Aiken, keep some Isabel in your heart!

Isabel Stare-A-thon: Now Supported By The Animal Kingdom

| Viciously Sweet

Good Friday to you People of the Interwebs!

Today the Isabel Stare-a-thon got word from the Animal Kingdom (Not Disney’s) that they are well aware of the stare-a-thon and cannot wait to get their periscopes in the mail to stare at Isabel.

Remember staring at Isabel is different than eating the face off of Isabel!

Stare long and hard this weekend there are only 11 days left people!

Isabel Stare-A-Thon: For the Scientist in You

| Viciously Sweet

Now I would be the first person to tell you I know not much about science… All I remember from my brief exposure to this field is usually marred by teachers who inspired me to sit in a corner and doodle. (By the way thanks super bad teachers, I get paid money to draw now.)

Anyhoo, besides starting small fires in chemistry class, and the fact that the Galapagos Islands exist I have no real scientific knowledge*.

But you know who does love science? Isabel… yes, the one we stare at. She really does, in fact if science were a real life person she’d marry him.

And that brings us to this sciency Isabel stare-a-thon picture:

 

So go, tell all your friends about this site, and science. Because both things are super awesome… and KEEP STARING!

♫Lauren

*Maybe I know more science than this, but then again… maybe not.
