I can’t believe I forgot to post this a while ago!
So, I got the absolute bestest birthday present of my lifetime from that wonderful guy I married. He contacted a bunch of my closest friends, family, and co-workers and asked them to participate in a special Nerdy 30 birthday video:
Highlights:
* The Star Wars scrolling intro.
* Special art work by Bill Nye the Science Guy.
* Oliver’s video that made me cry.
* Daren sending in his video from an Airborne Toxic Event tour.
* Stephanie and her friend drinking at the airport and singing me happy birthday.
* Erik being… Erik.
* Ariel and Tavi’s catchy tune (also Ariel’s boobz!).
* Aaron’s laptop theme.
* All the scenes from Olvera Street where Aaron spent a day collecting awesome trinkets for my other special birthday present.
Thank you thank you THANK YOU to everyone who participated in this movie. I’ve watched it a countless number of times now and I’m always BLOWN AWAY by the amazing people that I am lucky enough to be friends with. Wow. I’m one freaking lucky 30-year-old. I LOVE YOU ALL!
Aaron’s 37th NYE birthday blowout

Once again, Aaron’s birthday rockin’ eve was an amazing time. There was a lot less people at this party then at years past, but it was just as much fun as they’ve always been. For those of you who don’t know, Aaron is that guy I married and his birthday is 12/31. We both used to hate that birthday date because, well, making reservations for dinner is a nightmare and most of your friends can’t hang out because they’re trying to give their partners a nice evening. So we started throwing an annual New Years Eve birthday party for people who don’t feel like celebrating New Years Eve with the masses. And it’s been our favorite day of the year ever since.
Here’s how this birthday blowout went down:
Animal masks were donned:
Megan (koala) & Aaron (giraffe), Daren (monkey) and KayLee (tiger)
Ari as the creepy horse.
The Finleyquists were together, as always:
There was much dancing:

Here’s a quicky about the my first Christmas without ANY family. The Finleys spent it with our best friend Coco Rosenquist — hence the “Finleyquistmas” name.
We spent Christmas eve with Oliver and Marianne:
Coco rocked her reindeer slippers.
The next morning, aka Christmas, I got up before everyone else, turned on our fireplace, and spent the morning with my fur babies…

So I got an email from another Flickr member, Madam Bizarro with the subject “stolen photo” which read:
Megan–you might wanna bust this guy.
[insert now defunct link to a photo in Lightko Studio's facebook portfolio]
Took one of your photos of Aaron’s bite and claimed it is his special effects make-up. Yeah, dude, I guess it DOES look real, since it IS.
And sure enough, I clicked over and saw this: (WARNING: If you don’t want to see the inside of my husband’s leg, do NOT read any further.)

sharks & james brown

“I just found out that I can’t dance like James Brown due to being bitten by a shark. However, had I not been bitten by a shark, I still wouldn’t be able to dance like James brown.” -Aaron
Aaron said this as we were preparing to go to a friend’s wedding. (Congrats Robin and John!) He had just watched an old video of James Brown going over some dance moves. He could do one if he lead with his good leg, but when attempting the same move on his shark leg … it wasn’t pretty. In fact, it was pretty sad to see Aaron’s face completely fall when he realized that his shark leg had destroyed all of his James Brown dancing dreams. Poor baby!
Made only worse/more awesome when the groom executed the move FLAWLESSLY on the dance floor at the reception. (Go John!)
Now here’s a pretty cute picture of us at the wedding:
3 Doors Down to Zac Brown

Yesterday I was helping Aaron with his resume by updating his “bands I have worked with” list. I found myself getting SUPER impressed with his street cred. 
Just for kicks, here is the list of (almost) all the bands and artists that Aaron has either recorded or has done live sound for…
Pretty awesome, right? And if you’d ask Aaron who was his favorite band or artist to record out of all those choices, he’d enthusiastically, and surprisingly, tell you that it was Tom Jones.
What should you wear to a bbq that’s also wedding?

Aaron answered this question this fourth of July weekend at my sister’s wedding:
Tuxedo shirt + funky plaid shorts (from our beach wedding!) = perfect bbq wedding outfit. I’m not gonna lie, I was quite jealous of his ensemble.
The best Valentine’s Day I ever had

I was even feeling the doggy love on V-day!
And so far Aaron’s been amazing at it. He made me something for our first Valentine’s Day (maybe he wasn’t quite sure if it was a trick or not?) and it was the best thing I’ve ever gotten and it is never to be topped. I will hopefully write a post about that later, when I’m not laying in bed about to go to sleep.
And one other year he bought me silly stupid crap just to make me laugh. He went shopping with his best friend who asked, “aren’t you going to get in trouble for that?” Ha.
But this year, this year was all crazy different…

Every thing’s better with Lifefinder

From the man that brought you “No, he doesn’t wear The Precious” I give you one of Aaron’s pointless-yet-funny fake ad placements…
So many things to do, how will you keep track? … Use Lifefinder!
Lifefinder’s patented usage of contraband Russian technology will make you smart. People will laugh harder when you tell a joke when you use Lifefinder. There is even a new app to manage your new Lifefinder life on your mobile device.
Does your tiny robot have a cord coming out of it? If you answered “no” then it is probably a mobile device and you should probably get the mobile device app by Lifefinder.
Does your neck hurt? Lifefinder didn’t do that to you — Lifefinder only makes shit easier, bitch. Can’t find the keys to your spouses car? Lifefinder has already searched the Internet to find them!
Do you sometimes feel an overwhelming urge to type and show strangers your vacation pictures? Are you currently, or were you recently, drunk and possibly in college? So is Lifefinder! … Drunk on the power to make your life better.
Lifefinder wants you to be your own best friend. Lifefinder will then move in and become your new bff making you irrelevant and tired of yourself. Have you ever wondered why you aren’t as cool as Lifefinder? Maybe Stacy would rather hang out with Lifefinder than with you. You should have invited Lifefinder to your mom’s birthday party.
You really underestimated Lifefinder, didn’t you.
Now you are all drunk again and drunk-texting Lifefinder repeatedly, and Lifefinder is totally just not replying, and you know Lifefinder is just making fun of you and reading your texts outloud to it’s friends.
Lifefinder … Now with unauthorized access to your webcam!
Using your laptop? Lifefinder knows. It is posting your porn searches on Facebook. Lifefinder can help you finish your report this weekend, but it isn’t going to. Did you want a little coffee this morning to help shake off that hangover? Well to damn bad. Lifefinder drank it all while going through your underwear drawer. It took video off it, and now everyone knows about those panties you only wear when it’s the first day of your period.
Lifefinder …. Because you may be on the same cycle.
You know Lifefinder is hoping you won’t notice the extra eBay purchases it made last month. Need to get to the airport? Lifefinder can give you a ride, with a smile. Need a ride home from the airport, too? Lifefinder will be laughing with it’s friends and eating YumYum donuts when your flight arrives.
When you text Lifefinder it may respond, but it will probably end with the response with “lol.” And the lol will be ON YOU!
Lifefinder doesn’t even have to try… Want directions to your job interview? Lifefinder already printed them for you and made you a peanut butter and jelly sack lunch for after. Of course, Lifefinder spilled a beer and bottle of Elmer’s non-toxic glue on the directions, making them illegible, and got hungry and at your sandwich.
Does your thumb hurt from too much texting? So does Lifefinders thumb. Quit whining. Did you lose your cell phone charger? Borrow lifefinders! Like you always do.
You will never be as smart as Lifefinder, even if Lifefinder pulls some strings and gets you in to it’s alma mater… which was Oxford, by the way.
Lifefinder … Because it’s just better.

So Aaron’s not had a lot of work for AOL lately, which means he’s been working on his own projects… at home. So yesterday it was endless loops of Big Dick recordings and then today I found this little surprise when I went to the bathroom…
I guess the bathroom has better acoustics for recording than the living room? I have NO idea, but it was like WHOA when I opened the door.
