Lauren said...: 1) I have not seen "Law Abiding CItizen." The most recent movie I think I saw was....*thinking*...9. Holy crap. I have to get out more. I think I'll go see "Where the Wild Things Are" this weekend.

2) I use a prescription deodorant because I sweat like no one's business. Gross, yes. But you asked! On the plus side, it doesn't have a smell, so I can use whatever perfume that I like. :)

3) It's a A-line cut right now. I have straight brown hair with a little natural wave. Which I usually get rid of with my flat iron.

4) None. No shoes for me today. At least not right now. I have some ladybug ballet flats that I wear all the time because I love them.

5) A (very large) bowl of Multigrain Cheerios.

6) Hmmm. A really big chocolate mousse. Or a big salad with dried cherries, pecans, and goat cheese. NUM. Now I'm hungry.

7) Ooo how many? I'm gonna take a wild guess and say 30. I haven't counted lately. Last I did I was around 20 and that was over a year ago...and I've bought more....I heart shoes. They fit no matter what my waist is doing. :D

8) They same annoy me. "Crick" "beg" "wegon" "melk" "Warshington"....It's unfortunate a lot of my friends say those lol. It's ok though, I still love them.

9) I'm Catholic. I love my religion because it gives me hope when I feel like there is none. And hope of an afterlife....I'm SO scared about dying. Having my religion has also been a constant throughout my life no matter I've done. I can always find someone to go to church which is nice, because then you're never really alone either. :)

10) I have a white 2006 Hyundai Accent with a black bumper. But the bumper is a whole story in itself. I like my car, it's no-frills, but we've come to be friends. And yes, I make friends with my car, cause I'm weird like that.

11) I heard it was only ok. But that was from my pessimist friend. And if it says anything, he said that about 1/3 into the book and he's still reading it so...

12) You're special. Meant in both the good and bad context, lol. I just like to have fun is all! So yeah, I'm a dork.

13) I am going to be Flo, the Progressive Auto Insurance girl. Cause who doesn't love Flo? Srsly.

14) Good Eats. Love me some Good Eats. And Biggest Loser. Oddly enough, lol. Good pair eh?

15) Ah jealous! I would love Band Hero. However, I am most looking forward to getting my acceptance letter for school. I plan to start online classes in January.; October 28, 2009 3:08 PM
