Friday Five

1. How do you feel about going to the dentist?
You’ll probably think this is sick, but I kind of like it. It’s similar to the way I feel about having my hair washed before I get it cut. I like it when people pay attention to details like that, and really, can you get anymore detailed than when it comes to picking stuff from between teeth? Didn’t think so.
2. Describe your worst dental experience.
The butcher I was referred to here in Norman. Awful, awful, awful. He had recently been injured in a skiing accident and walked…umm…limped into the room on crutches with BOTH of his legs in casts. Proceeded to drill into my not-yet-numb teeth and cut up my lips. The back of my head and my left ear stayed numb for like six hours.
3. Describe your best dental experience.
All of the ones except the above described incident.
4. Do you floss?
Umm…honestly? About once per week. Really trying to work harder on that though, so my teeth don’t rot out of my head.
5. Would you consider wearing braces as an adult?
Considering that I am considering that right now…yes. After they take out my wisdom teeth I will be getting braces of some sort (possibly Invisalign).

Thirteen things I didn’t learn in college As my last spring semester at the University of Oklahoma comes to a close (and attempts to murder my blog), I thought I would let you readers know a few things that college did not teach me.

1. Jerks are jerks. College does not change them. DO. NOT. DATE. THEM. (I can supply a list of names, it’s short, but informative.)

2. How to jump start my car.

3. Why I should go to class. (But I think I might have that one figured out now.

4. Worrying gets you nowhere.

5. Why Waiting for Godot is so stinkin’ important.

6. That throwing my hands in the air and joining the circus would be a bad idea.

7. Why math is important in my life. They try to tell you this lie in high school, kids. Don’t believe them. Become an English major, take Physics for Poets (actually, DON’T), and Math for Idiots and you are SET.

8. That I could be a successful human being. No. They stop telling you that after your Gateway class (freshman orientation).

9. That you should never tell your parents that you could possibly graduate early. Don’t do this. They like to hold you to things that can save them money.

10. My family is still absolutely the most important thing that I have.

11. How nice it is to drive home.

12. That anyone (aside from a few select professors and my wonderful advisor) cares about your well-being.

13. That mental health is a top priority. Don’t kid yourself.

Thirteen things I don’t have to worry about when my boyfriend meets my parents

1. Him praying to ward off the powers of Xenu when we say grace.

2. Either of my parents taking out their teeth. Because they both still have theirs.

3. Dad bringing a gun along with him to clean, since we’re going to be eating at Red Lobster I think it’s unlikely. I could be wrong though.

4. Anyone breaking into song. This usually only happens at Olive Garden when Grannie is there. “Wheeeeeeen the moon hits your eye…”

5. Dad ordering gizzards.

6. My parents revealing the existence of “Blanket” to Kevin…because he already knows.

7. ~~Mom giggling like a schoolgirl.~~ Wrong. I totally have to worry about that.

8. ~~Dad calling Kevin a yankee.~~ Wrong again.

9. Paw Paw showing up. Not that it would be a problem, but it’s better to break a person in with my parents first.

10. Either of my parents asking me if I’m going to break up with Kevin anytime soon. They wouldn’t say that in front of him, in fact, Mom would never say it. But Dad and Grannie ask me that every time they talk to me. Paw Paw hasn’t acknowledged the existence of any other man in my life. At least not to me.

11. My brothers beating him up. Because they won’t be there.

12. Dad doing something weird with his finger that’s missing the end. I don’t think he’ll stick it up to his nose or anything, though he likes to do that.

13. My parents not liking him. And that’s a wonderful feeling.

Thirteen things I can’t seem to escape

1. Crazy dogs - Okay, this may be calling it too soon, but you meet Lulu and THEN you tell me.

2. Mormons

3. Waiting for Godot - I hate this play. Really. It has been assigned in at least four of my English courses and my group is presenting over it in my capstone course this semester.

4. People with stalkerish tendencies

5. Calvinists

6. This is out there and I’m sure any girl that has ever been in a Yahoo chat room has experienced it as well. I used to advertise GodlyGals a bit there in the Christian chat rooms, but quit due to little interest. AND due to the fact that there were always guys wanting to know if you were single, then if you were interested in getting married, and maybe helping them with their English. In my experience they were mostly from Nigeria and India. So yeah, those guys.

7. Gastrointestinal issues - Yeah, you wanted to know that one

8. Bouquets (at weddings)

9. That person in class that is only there to annoy the professor with stupid questions. Yes, there are stupid questions and they usually apply to due dates whenever they’re listed in the syllabus that you’re holding IN YOUR HAND.

10. Snow - When I pray for snow, I get snow. All you people in Oklahoma should be glad that I don’t pray for it often.

11. At least one professor per semester that thinks you’re only taking his or her class and nothing else.

12. Ear aches - I’ve been prone to them since I was a baby.

13. Chocolate covered Edy’s Strawberry Fruit Bars - Wait. Maybe they can’t escape me.
