Thursday Thirteen #28

Sep 27, 2007 Author: Elizabeth | Filed under: Listy, Meme, TV, Thursday Thirteen

In honor of the premiere of Season 4 of The Office… My Top Thirteen Favorite Episodes of The Office (US)

13. Christmas Party - Lots of sweetness between Jim and Pam. I

love it.

12. E-mail Surveillance - We get to see where Jim lives! Sidenote:

I absolutely cannot stand Michael’s improv scenes. They make me

feel so sad for him.

11. Ben Franklin - Dwight: I don’t care what Jim says, that is not

the real Ben Franklin. I am 99% sure.

10. Halloween - Dwight as a Sith Lord. So great.

9. Boys and Girls - Dwight: Remember on LOST when they meet

“the Others”?

8. Business School - A bat. In the office. Jim. As a vampire. And I

must admit that every time I see that poor kid’s text book getting

ripped up by Michael, I cringe. Because, my friends, that is real pain.

7. The Return - Andy [To Michael] - “I forgot to tell you the plan

for this Saturday. You, me, bar, beers, buzzed. Wings, shots, drunk!

Waitresses - hot! Football, Cornell-Hofstra, slaughter! Then quick

nap at my place, then we hit the tizzown.” And then there’s “Rockin’

Robin.”

6. The Carpet - There is poop on the floor. That is comedy, folks.

5. Drug Testing - Once again, Dwight in costume (well, uniform).

4. Casino Night - The night so many of us had been waiting for.

Sigh. Together at last…not.

3. Women’s Appreciation - See this.

2. Initiation - Dwight’s cousin Mose jumping out of nowhere to fight

Ryan is one of my favorite scenes, period. “What… is the DHARMA

Initiative?!”

1. The Injury - It’s been my favorite for a long time. Nothing has

been able to bump it out of its spot yet. Michael GRILLS his foot

on a George Forman Grill. “I like waking up to the smell of bacon.

Sue me.”

Thirteen Keys to My Heart

1. Delilah - Sick, sad, and true. I have listened to her show regularly since the fall of 1996. Dude.

I was 12! A call to the self-proclaimed “Queen of Sappy Love Songs” would definitely put a person

in my good graces.

2. Folklore roses - I adore orange/coral roses in many shapes and forms, but so far, this is my

favorite. Forget red roses. I’d pick these puppies over the most perfect red any day.

3. Seafood - Oh boy. I love it so much and haven’t found any creature who calls the sea its home

that I don’t find tasty. Mm-mm.

4. Old films - Many of my favorites came out when my Granny was my age. They’re the best. A

few that I really enjoy watching are Splendor in the Grass, Two for the Road, and Picnic.

5. Fairs - You know, of the county, state, whatever variety. I love them! It’s the nighttime atmos-

phere with all the lights, spilled bags of popcorn, discarded turkey legs, scary carnies, spinny rides

that make you throw up your fried Twinky…man. I love it.

6. Christmas lights - I. Love. Them. Oh my goodness. For the past few years I’ve always gone to

view them in Chickasha, Oklahoma and those are SO great. And this year I’ll get to go with Kevin!

7. “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey - I don’t know what it is about this song,

but it’s good any time of year for me. Whenever I hear it on the radio I become instantly happier.

8. Sephora - Sorry. Just had to throw that in there. On our (what was it?) 4th or 5th date Kevin

even went into one with me. See, he’s a keeper.

9. Chocolate & cherries - Good gracious. This is one deadly combo for me. I love cherries and

cherry flavored things, so add the chocolate (the darker, the better!) and you’ve got me. Black

Forest cake is a wonderful thing.

10. Children’s books - They are sweet and remind me of simpler times. While I don’t consider

Anne of Green Gables strictly a children’s book, any girl around the age of 11 should definitely

start reading the series. It (HONESTLY) changed my life.

11. COFFEE - Were caps necessary? YOU BET YOUR BRITCHES THEY WERE. I’ll take this stuff in

any form. IV drip is the preferred method.

12. Cream cheese & fake cheese - I couldn’t include one without the other. With the first you

have something that I consider to be a marketable alternative to your average candy bar (You

know, it comes in sticks and I could never understand why my mom wouldn’t let me eat it that

way. It’s possible that she was concerned about my saturated fat intake.) and the base of a very

special icing used on red velvet cake. Can’t go wrong there. The second is your key ingredient in

the very best ball game foods. Yum.

13. Kit Kat - The king of all candy bars. I cannot put into words what this fine piece of chocolate

means/does to me, so I’ll steal a line from Gilmore Girls (formerly a key to my heart until it was

CANCELLED), “The only way I could love you more is if you had a Kit Kat bar growing out of the

side of your head.” And my dears, that couldn’t be more true.

Sadly (for any interested parties) my heart is taken now. I have The Best Boyfriend in the World.

How could he not be? The guy covered numbers 3, 10, and 11 on the first date.

Thursday Thirteen #20

Mar 15, 2007 Author: Elizabeth | Filed under: Meme, Thursday Thirteen

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.
