Am I the only one?

Yes, I am at work today. The Monday before a holiday. I'm such a loser. And of course I'm bored out of my mind.

So here's the deal. I've been struggling with things to write about. My life seems so utterly boring lately (besides all the pregnancy stuff). What I want to know is what you would like to know about me. I want you to inspire me to write stories that I haven't thought of, ask questions of me that you've been curious about. If you know me in real life, then please help me out here and remind me of a fun experience in my life that I should write about.

All questions are welcome.

For example:

You: Lori, how many fingers do you have?
Me: 9 9/10 ... ask my sister about that one, it's all her fault.

You: Lori, where are you from?
Me: Nowhere and everywhere

You: Lori, how come your toes look so weird?
Me: I would blame it on all the years of dancing, but my sister's toes don't look like mine and she danced too. So I just don't know, that's a question for God.

So now it's your turn, ask away my friends! Ask away ...

Can I have some more cash?

Nici said...

Don't you even try to say you have less than 10 fingers. You have all ten of them, and all ten nails attached.
If you have never seen her toes, they all look like little clubs: really skinny but then fat round ends. Strange . . .

do you think oranges are sad that nothing rhymes with them? or maybe has it given them some undue superiority complex?

Kara (Turskey) Vaught said...

You have tons of things to write about:
* your entire childhood
* bad roommate
* Simba & Benny
* how you met Brandon and the whole story with him
* how boys are utterly disgusting to live with
* how your organization is mistaken for nueroticism
* club
* Lamda Alpha Kappa
* wedding planning
* baby planning
* LDS
* ACU (there's tons there)
* all your deviant body art

are you going to find out the gender of the baby, or are you going to be surprised?

what's the worst job you've ever had (besides your current one, of course!)

how in the world did you end up in utah?

LoriLoo310 said...

BSC - No, you cannot have anymore cash. Why? Because I don't have any.

LoriLoo310 said...

REBECCA MARIE - I think that "orange" feels special that nothing rhymes with it. It's grouped into a special catagory of words such as "month," "purple," and "wolf." For more information on how to force these words into rhyming, visit http://www.flocabulary.com/rhymeswithorange.html

NYTRO -

We will (hopefully if the little bugger isn't hiding) find out if it's a boy or girl on July 11th ... less than a week from today! Yay! I'm super excited to know.

The worst job I've ever had was as a lifeguard in high school. I did it for two years. For one thing, it was so incredibly boring. Sitting in the hot Oklahoma sun for 8 hours every day did not do nice things to my skin. I also suffered a bit of anxiety from it. For years after I had nightmares about people drowning and me sitting there helplessly watching.

Ahh, the Utah story. To summarize the whole thing, I was offered a job (the one I'm currently working). BSC and I were living off a very small income in Oklahoma and jumped at the chance for a new city and new opportunities. Two weeks later I was here, and one month later BSC followed.

BSC - LOL!! I used to ask people this after drinking all the time. If you knew someone was a vampire, would you put a stake in their heart? Because that would probably be considered murder if nobody believed you.

Or seriously, what was the first time you remember being self conscious as a child?

I don't know.. I'm so tired today.. My brain is not functioning at a very high level.

Can I have some cash?

Summer said...

Well, I would definitely rather hear all about your internationally-ranging childhood, but here's a question that keeps popping up among my friends, who are becoming disenchanted with grad school:

If you could have any job/career path other than what you're currently in, what would it be?

Kind of a lame question, but it tends to generate interesting answers.

Questions submitted by GAYLE via e-mail:

1. What is the clumsiest thing you’ve ever done? This would have to be transfer a large sum of money in the wrong currency costing the company over $64,000. Oops! In terms of physically clumsy ... I trip down the stairs at work at least once every day.

2. What would you do if you could never buy milk again? Die, I would absolutley die! I send BSC to the store at least twice a week for a new gallon. I loves me some milk.

3. Minnie Mouse or Daisy Duck? Neither, I don't like Disney characters. They bring back bad memories of why I don't have a complete finger on my right hand.

4. What was your favorite cartoon as a kid? Tom and Jerry, no doubt about it. I still enjoy watching the old Tom and Jerry cartoons.

5. If you could try one drug (out of curiosity for what it would be like), what would it be and why? (No health/legal repercussions and assume you wouldn’t get addicted) I would totally do mushrooms. Any drug I can add onto pizza and get high, why not??

6. If you were trapped in a room watching one television show for 120 hours straight, what show would you want to be watching? Probably "Friends" I mean, everyone I know thinks I'm Monica already.

7. If you had to have one food for every meal of the day for a year, what would you choose to eat?
I would rather die. I don't eat leftovers, and I don't like to repeat food in a month. But if I had to choose, I would eat cereal for the rest of my life. I can always eat a bowl of cereal, hence my massive intake of milk.

HOLLI -

I probably would not put a stake in a vampires heart. Too much chance of getting blood on my shoes.

By self conscious do you mean my very first memory or the first time I felt unsure of myself? My very first memory is of my nursery in Bakersfield when I was two. I vividly remember purple and yellow ... which were the colors in the room. I can't even remember the first time I felt unsure of myself. I think I've always felt that way. Probably the worst I can remember would be moving from Oman to Oklahoma when I still had a British accent. I was taunted unmercifully.

And no, like I told BSC, you cannot have some cash. If I can't have any, then you can't either (unless for some reason you would use such cash to buy me some shoes, then I would make an exception).

SUMMER -

This question is much harder than I thought. There are so many things I would like to do. I would love to have my own little shop where I sell home accessories and shoes. I would love to be a stay at home mom (and yes, I consider that a career). I would love to be a pastry chef (I looked into culinary school last year). I would love to start a magazine with BSC. I would love to bring Taco Bueno and Braums to this deprived state. I would love to teach high school English, mostly so I could be the yearbook adviser. I would love to go into people's homes and organize them with a team of helpers. There's just way too many things I would like to do in life. I wonder if I'll ever do any of them ...

Does it matter which side of the bed you sleep on?

LoriLoo310 said...

MRS. BELLE -

Yes, if you were to face my bed, I have to be on the left side. The left side contains my nighstand, my dresser, and a myriad of plugs I can use for lamps and phone chargers. Speaking of the bed, that reminds me it's time to flip the mattress. But if BSC and our two cats weren't in the bed taking up all my space, I would be smack dab in the middle sleeping diagonally. I like to be diagonal on the bed.

How did you loose your finger?

LoriLoo310 said...

The tip of my finger was sliced off on a ride at Disney World when I was in third grade. My sister was the one who pulled the lever that sliced of my finger. That's why I "blame" her.

Anonymous said...

I don't recall any major damage to your finger. Was just the skin at the tip cut off? You still have 10 full length fingers and nails and all. I'm going to have to agree with Nici on this one Lori, sorry! :)
