Ushering in 2008 with my hand

Wolf’s post about his, uhm, unfriendly fingers reminded me of something I used to do when I was a kid. Back when I was still in school, my friends and I used to draw faces on our hands and have meaningful conversations with each other’s hands all the time. By meaningful, I meant topics like “Mrs XXX is a total bitch” or ” I want to marry Brett Anderson when I grow up!” etc.. Well hey, I was a convent girl and convent girls are bored all the freakin’ time. In any case, I thought I’ll reproduce the faces for a trip down memory lane.

Introducing Miss Blinky!


This is Miss Blinky when she’s sort of grimacing.


Here, Miss Blinky is having an… I mean making an “O” face.

Happy New Year, everyone!

    Are you sure that second pic isn’t a “b.j. face”?

    Sudiegirl, let’s just say I’m not ruling out that possibility. ;o

    There’s so much Lis in those pics that I think I might actually recognize you on the street now! :P

    You don’t get to have New Year AND Chinese New Year, cheater.

    I was thinking the same thing about the second pic as sudiegirl was. Well, Miss Blinky’s cute all the same. Happy New Year!

    hah…how funny. I used to do that too when I get bored at school in 3rd grade. my mom would always wonder why I come home with writinga all over my hand, and I had to tell her that we had a puppet show at school so she’ll get excited. hahaha…

    anyway, I hope you have a wonderful new years dear!

    Heh, that looks like you used a Sharpie. They don’t wash off easily!
    I want to thank you for voting for me for Freakiest Blogger. I looked for your button, but didn’t find one. Do you need a nomination?

    O, my. Do the hands put on a production about their Os called the Hand Monologues, because I think I saw that once.

  14. Lis on 01.01.2008 at 10:48 (Reply)

    Clairec23, thank you on behalf of Ms Blinky!

    Mel, xxooxxoo!

    Webduck, I try my best to entertain. :)

    Jason, but we do. Both are recognised public holidays here in Singapore. Heh heh heh.

    Wolf, truth be told, if that’s what Ms Blinky’s been up to, I don’t really want to know.

    Marjie, 3rd grade? We did that when we were in our teens. :P

    Psychicgeek, Yeah, I had a ghastly time trying to wash Blinky off. I’ll love a nomination, thanks!

    Deb, oh yes, it was a double bill with the Hoo-ha Monologues.

    Miss Blinky is a hottie.

    Oh, and a very Happy New Year to ya too!

    Happy New Year Lis! Miss Blinky is kinda cute. Can I say that?? Is that wrong??

  18. Nick Phillips on 02.01.2008 at 00:55 (Reply)

    Ooooo, Miss Blinky is simply gorgeous! Is there a Mr. Blinky by any chance? If there isn’t, drop her my email, k? LOL!

    This brings back some really fond memories from my slightly crazy and weird childhood … hehehe … actually come to think of it, nothing much has changed!

    Happy New Year, Stick Girl!

  19. Lis on 02.01.2008 at 09:35 (Reply)

    Andrew, Ms Blinky thanks you and thinks your penguin dude is pretty spiffy too.

    Psychicgeek, wow that is tempting.

    Michael, if that’s wrong, Ms Blinky doesn’t want to be right!

    Nick, Ms Blinky’s still looking!

    I now have the urge to write on my hands :)

    Happy New Year.
