Five Songs You'll Never Skip On Your iPod:1. Let Love In--Goo Goo Dolls2. Defying Gravity--Wicked3. Linger--The Cranberries4. Hot In Herre--Nelly 5. Never Be the Same--Christopher Cross (a staple of my Writing Mix)Five Skills Or Talents You Wish You Possessed:1. A few of my stick-figure friends have this crazy ability to metabolize even the greasiest piece of pizza down to -5 calories. I would like to have this ability. 2. Math skills--As previously noted. I can barely remember how to do long division these days. 3. Whistling--Can't whistle can't learn how to whistle. It's very frustrating.4. Running--I love to exercise and just about any workout gets my blood going but I cannot for the life of me develop an interest in running. I always start to run but 10 minutes in I inevitably become bored and start letting my mind wander. Before I know it. I've wasted 45 minutes of time without breaking a sweat and all I've got to show for it are achy shin splints. I'd really like to develop running skills/passion but I know I won't.5. Rhythm--I don't even ask that I can dance. I just wish I could keep a steady beat when clapping along with a song or something. Five Habits Of Yours That Annoy People:1. I sing to myself a lot even when just listening to my ipod.2. I bite my nails all the time. Seriously. I'm doing it right now.3. I talk about movies and "The Office" too much but it doesn't bother me so I'll probably keep doing it.4. My brain is like a DVR; I remember lines of movies and TV shows after one viewing. Consequently. I weave them into conversation a lot and proceed to laugh at my wittiness. I know people probably get frustrated when they don't get what I'm laughing at.5. I have hyperextended knees so it's comfortable for me to stand with my knees pushed back (makes my legs look sort of like a "C"). It's comfortable to me but it drives my family crazy. My sister's always kicking the back of my knees to push them upright but this makes me stumble and spit a bunch of curses. I think the only analogy demonstrating the effect of this is to think of cow-tipping but that analogy makes me a cow so I won't use it as the example. Five Random Words You Love:1. Cerulean2. Euphoria3. Elegant4. Marigold5. Panties--I'm mainly including this because everyone else doing the list seems to hate it but I like it. I'd much rather wear cute frilly panties than grandma-style "underpants," and "underwear" is just about as generic as Wal-Mart detergent. I think there's something fun and feminine about "panties," and I've been calling 'em that since I was three. Five Random Words You Hate:1. Prairie (roll that across your tongue--it feels like gravel)2. Kit nip tip. & pit (there's somethign about the letter "p" starting or finishing three-letter words that drives me nuts)3. Rural (the only good thing about this word is its role in creating )4. Moist5. CreviceFive Movies You Hate: (By "hate," I don't just mean. "Oh that movie sucked." I mean. "Oh that movie sucked! Someone please punch me in the face for even watching it in the first place and wasting an hour and a half of my life!")1. Because I Said So--DO NOT GET ME STARTED2. All The King's Men--I want to meet the idiot who decided 2 Brits an Aussie and a guy from Brooklyn were good choices to play characters from Louisiana. The accents were insult enough to start another Civil War in my opinion and I bristled the whole time. Sean Penn's southern accent was startlingly familiar to the one he donned to play a mentally-challenged man in "I Am Sam," making me wonder what subtle message about southerners was imbedded in that choice. 3. The Parent Trap (Lindsay Lohan version)--Remakes are one of the greatest affronts on humanity and this one had NO business being remade. The Haley Mills version with such palpable tension between Maureen O'Hara and Brian Keith plus the snake Vicky (who is so awesome) was practically perfect in every way. I watched the remake in theaters with some of my friends when it debuted; I was slackjawed and dumbstruck by how horrible and sacreligious it was. And I still am.4. Pride & Prejudice (Keira Sucks-a-Lot Knightley version)--I made it through 25 minutes before throwing my hands up in disgust. Just ick.5. Premonition--I was all excited about it since Dr. Christian Troy from Nip/Tuck was the male lead (I think that guy has a real name but who the hell knows) but it was horrible. I only watched 45 minutes before turning it off in horror (and not the good kind of horror). Five Movies You Hate To Admit You Love:1. Die Hard--Yippee Ki-Yay. Motherfucker. ROCK ON2. The Mummy--There's something about Brendan Fraser that elevates the lamest of corny adventure movies to a new level of awesomeness. I think it's his body. 3. King Kong (2005)--I really liked Peter Jackson's version (though I fastforward the first 45 minutes and don't watch the last 20).4. Anger Management--One of Adam Sandler's more annoying movies. I think and the ending still doesn't make sense but I've had too much fun making fun of this one with Watson and Jake to pretend that I don't love it now. Seriously if you saw my cousin say. "Dave assaulted a female flight attendant. In midair" in his own little sotto voice you'd love it too. 5. The Thorn Birds--I bought the 8 hour miniseries after I finished the book for the second time and I just love it. It's campy melodramatic and corny but it's the nectar of the gods.
Great list! *ahem* My thoughts:1) I can't run either. I mean technically I can but... I won't. It really is just the most boring thing you could ever do. But I'm so lazy and inactive. I consider it a good day when I walk my dogs around the neighborhood.2) I sing to myself all the time. My roommate jokes that she can always tell when I'm in a good mood because I'll be walking around the house singing something or other. Usually Motown. :)3)
: Cerulean is my favorite crayon. Whenever I would color in my Little Mermaid coloring books that was the color of Ariel's eyes.4) I literally CANNOT say rural. There is no correct way to say that word there really isn't. It's like Worcestershire sauce. How the hell do you pronounce that?!? No one knows... Also you know I don't generally care for 30 Rock but I remember laughing quite loud and long at that bit when it aired. And I've been amusing myself immensely by saying "Rural Juror" for the last five minutes. ;)5) I LOVE. LOVE. LOVE The Mummy. End of story. Epilogue: Brendan Fraser is way too sexy in that movie. Just...*fans self*
I love to exercise that's why it's so baffling that I can't get into running. People kept telling me that you get "addicted to it" when you do it for a while so freshman year I started running for 30 minutes a day trying to better my mile time and whatnot. I ended up annoyed with it--yeah my mile time went down but I still didn't like it. "Fuck that," said I. "I'm goin' to spin class. I'll run when there's something worth running from."Gold star for mentioning "Little Mermaid" coloring books. I liked the Barbie ones myself (my mom sister and I would be ruthless in making fun of those even when I was a tot; we'd draw in word bubbles and make ol' Barb say the weirdest stuff) but Ariel & friends were fun too on long car rides!
The "rurujuruew" is one of my favorite 30 Rock episodes ever!"You see. GE owns Kitchen-All of Colorado which in turn owns JMI of Stanford which is a majority shareholder in Pokerfastlane com which recently acquired the Sheinhardt Wig Company which owns NBC outright. NBC owns Winnipeg Iron Works which owns the Ahp Chanagi Party Meats Corporation of Pyong Yang. North Korea....... and THEY will make The Meat Machine." :)
