  • If you could be any animal for a day what animal would you be and why?

    A GOAT.

    Eating tin cans is hilaaaaaaarious.

    I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

  • Sunberri tagged me and thus I shall respond . . .

    The Rules:

    1 – Post these rules
    2 – Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
    3 – Tags should write a journal of these facts
    4 – At the end of the post 8 more persons are tagged and named
    5 – Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they’ve been tagged

    1. I am so indecisive it hurts. Most of the time it’s because decisions I’d have to make are so trivial that I honestly have no preference as to what the final outcome is. But then again, this carries over into decisions that are actually important and my apathy remains. Delightful!

    2. I have been drinking coffee since the sixth grade. I’m 22 now. Bad things happen when I don’t have coffee. People lose their heads. Actually, I just get really insanely bad headaches and it makes me feel better to know that there’s actually scientific reasoning for this. With addictions like this, though, I end up trying to combat them with other addictions, which is why I was drinking three bottles of orange Gatorade each day during Lent (when I’d given up coffee – bad idea).

    3. I own a banjo. It’s currently in Ohio but will most likely come back with me to NYC when I visit my hometown next month.

    4. I’m really bowlegged – most of the time, I stand with my legs crossed – right in front of the left – because it feels more natural. It also looks weird. I care not.

    5. My worst grades in college were in science classes but I rocked everything else and graduated cum laude.

    6. My favorite boy band of the late ’90s/early 2000s is O-Town . . . those boys stole my heart. I saw both them and *NSYNC in concert in 2001. That makes me feel so old. I also love those teen pop bands from the late ’90s . . . something about synchronized dance moves is appealing to me.

    7. For a while, I had this car in white. RIP.

    8. I love my job . . . which I should get back to now.

    I tag . . . whoever wants to do it!

  • coffee recs

    I’ve been going to Starbucks lately because my totally awesome surrogate mother (not really – she’s a close family friend) sent me a gift card as a late graduation present. Yayyyy, thanks, Miss Merilee.

    The problem is that I’m sick of Mocha Lights – not enough bang for your $3.75. I also don’t really like their brewed coffee unless I can put some sort of lightening liquid (milk and/or half and half), a Splenda and a shake or two of cinnamon, and if you mess up the coffee/cream ratio, it’s gross.

    What’s your Starbucks drink of choice and/or recommendation for yours truly? I love coffee and anything overly caffeinated; really sweet things aren’t my favorite things to drink; I don’t really like chai. Ready, steady, go.

    I miss Caribou. Do you guys have Caribou where you live? I love asking hypothetical questions to the internet community. Anyway, I would probably chop off my left arm – and that’s my good arm – to have one of their mochas right at this very second. There isn’t a ‘Bou within 50 miles from NYC, but I can travel . . . Maryland isn’t that far away, is it? What about Pittsburgh?
