On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 as highest), how much do you like your own handwriting? Eight. It got much neater after high school, because I watched one of my teachers write on the board everyday (Ms. Coshow, God rest her soul) and I tend to mimic things on accident. She had the prettiest, neatest block handwriting. I picked it up a little. I’m the same way with accents. Can’t wait to go back to North Carolina and visit Kevin’s family :) I also had this professor my first semester at OU from who knows where in the northeast and I have picked up a very strange way of saying my short “A”.
Soup
Do you prefer baths or showers? Until college I had taken literally less than a dozen showers. I looove baths. I especially like flowery, soothing scented ones while I’m listening to Delilah with some crazy facial mask on. Now I don’t tend to have time for them and I mostly take showers.
Salad
What was the last bad movie you watched? Been a while. John Tucker Must Die. That movie needs to die.
Main Course
Name something you are addicted to and describe how it affects your life. Carbohydrates and apparently they have been destroying my insides. I am absolutely hooked on them, they’re all I crave, but since I have cut down I have lost 10.5 lbs now, most of my terrible unexplained symptoms have gone away, and everything is just better. Thank you God.
Dessert
Which instrument is your favorite to listen to? Piano, acoustic guitar, violin, mandolin…I’ll listen to almost anything as long as it’s pretty in some way.

Thirteen Commercials that Make My Ears Bleed
1. FreeCreditReport.com - I don’t know what annoys me more: the stupid singing, the dumb face the guy is making at the end that looks suspiciously like one of those IDIOTIC Myspace posed photos with the puckered lips and a peace sign (Oh, you’re in 8th grade? Then that’s okay.), or the fact that the audio isn’t in sync with the video.


2. Mr. Spriggs BBQ - “Meat falls off the bone.” What more can I say.


3. Hinder, “Lips of an Angel” TV Spot - Please tell me what the lead “singer” thinks he’s doing with his arms. He looks like a T-Rex with half a brain.


4. Check Into Cash - “You got a cash emergency, you got a money may day.”


5. HeadOn - I don’t know if this stuff works, but the commercials are enough to convince me not to buy it.


6. Easy-Off Bam - The smell of their oven cleaner could take out a pachyderm.


7. Sync - I’m a Chevy girl (though I’ve only ever driven an Oldsmobile) so I won’t be getting one of these.


8. Avis - You can’t rent a car until you’re 25, right? Too bad for me.


9. Cox Communications DSL - I have Cox digital cable, telephone, and internet. That means I can’t escape their commercials.


10. Earl’s Rib Palace


11. Gary England “Calm During the Storm” - I should be honest and say that this scares me more than anything else.


12. 1-800-2SellHomes - At least it’s not 1-800-NoAgent with the CALL NOW CALL NOW CALL NOW CALL NOW anymore.


13. It has arrived! - WHO ARE THEY MARKETING THIS TO?

Friday’s Feast #5

Feb 8, 2008 Author: Elizabeth | Filed under: Friday's Feast, Meme

Friday’s Feast is down today due to technical difficulties, but a nice fellow by the name of Gabriel provided some questions for regular posters to use. So, here goes!

Appetizer
What would be your most treasured memory of your childhood? I have a lot of treasured memories, but the one that just popped into my head was going crawdad fishing with my brothers, one of my cousins, and Granny. Granny would get some raw bacon and we’d tie it to a piece of string, which was tied to the end of a stick. We’d head down the road to a place near a pond where some water had collected after a good rain and there we would stand, probably not any longer than an hour because I remember my brothers’ attention spans at that age. We did catch a few, but I don’t remember what we did with them. I know we didn’t eat them. Not that I would have had a problem with that.
Soup
When was the last time you just ‘bit your tongue’? I bite my tongue every time I’m with my family. At least once. But most of the time I don’t bite my tongue.
Salad
Name that silly fact about you that was unknown…until now. I really enjoy listening to Tom Jones.
Main Course
You’re a superhero, but with ‘non typical’ superpowers. What would your super powers be, and what would you like to be called? Superfast ability to read and comprehend, the ability to speak and understand all languages, and umm…how about YOU suggest a name for me?
Dessert
World Cup final, Olympic Games, Superbowl, World Series, NBA finals, Stanley Cup… which one would you like to play in? Duh, the Winter Olympic Games where I would be the better looking half of a pairs skating couple.

Friday’s Feast #4

Feb 1, 2008 Author: Elizabeth | Filed under: Friday's Feast, Meme

Appetizer
What is your favorite kind of cereal? Golden Crisp — NOT Smacks. But I don’t eat it very often because it’s not the best for you.
Soup
When was the last time you purchased something for your home, what was it, and in which room did it go? Hmm…that’s difficult. I can’t think of any large, decorative items at the moment, so I’ll go with my candle warmer. And it moves around as I see fit.
Salad
What is the funniest commercial you’ve ever seen? I like Sonic commercials. I need to be on Sonic commercials. I am very funny and I live in Oklahoma, the location of the headquarters. Please, Sonic, call me!
Main Course
Make up a name for a company by using a spice and an animal (example: Cinnamon Monkey). Basil Bats. I really like that.
Dessert
Fill in the blank: I haven’t ______ since ______. I haven’t seen Kevin since Monday. Boring, I know, but it’s important to me and it’s the first thing I thought of.

Friday’s Feast #3

Jan 25, 2008 Author: Elizabeth | Filed under: Friday's Feast, Meme

Appetizer
How many times per day do you usually laugh? Ten, easy.
Soup
What do your sunglasses look like? They are big and gaudy. I like them that way.
Salad
You win a free trip to anywhere on your continent, but you have to travel by train. Where do you go? New England in the fall.
Main Course
Name one thing you consider a great quality about living in your town/city. It’s got a small town quality without being painfully small. We have most of the shops you could need pretty close by. I love Norman :)
Dessert
If the sky could be another color, what color do you think would look best? Purple? I don’t know. I’m fine with the standard blue.

Friday’s Feast #2

Jan 11, 2008 Author: Elizabeth | Filed under: Friday's Feast, Meme

Appetizer
What is your middle name? Would you change any of your names if you could? If so, what would you like to be called? Michelle. I’m pretty happy with my names, but I’m excited to know that someday my last name won’t be “Johnson”.
Soup
If you were a fashion designer, which fabrics, colors, and styles would you probably use the most? Drab browns and greys and black. And it would rain all the time. Oh, wait. I’m just a fashion designer, not a diety?
Salad
What is your least favorite chore, and why? Washing the dishes and laundry are tied. Both are just tedious to me.
Main Course
What is something that really frightens you, and can you trace it back to an event in your life? The thought of losing my mother (I will not go into what caused that) and being in the passenger seat of a car and getting hit on that side by an oncoming vehicle. It happened once and I still tense up whenever I’m in the passenger seat and someone makes a left-hand turn.
Dessert
Where are you sitting right now? Name 3 things you can see at this moment. My couch. Strange Business by Rilla Askew, a photo of Kevin and me, and my army green Keds deck shoes.
