Too Legit To Quit

Since I should be using this time to study for my very scary ConLaw final on Monday, I'll make this relatively short:
1. I got the Public Interest grant through school--so at this point without the matching federal grant (which cross your fingers I'll get it) I'll be making $2.67 an hour. Which is more than a waitress (sans tips) and more than I would have made if I was for free.
2. I'm going to take a pottery class this summer. It starts in July and I'm thrilled.
3. You should go listen to Phil Wickam's "Divine Romance." It's ridiculously good, hooray for non-cheesy Christian music.

And because those 3 points didn't take long enough, here are some more questions!

39. What Disney villain are you the most like and why?
I've always felt a kinship with Captain Hook. I'm not sure if it's the great hair, the sassy knickers or his hook. I think he's one of the more likable Disney villains, he was always so misunderstood--so maybe that's what we have in common, we're both so mysterious.

40. Have you ever been a girl scout/boy scout?
Yes, I was Girl Scout until 6th Grade. Then, I finally convinced to let me quit, this came shortly after the "Disney World" Scandal of 1998--when our troop leaders kept promising us a trip to Disney World and the money somehow disappeared and we got a sleepover at someone's house instead. But that is where I learned how to do the Macarena, so it wasn't a complete loss. That event was the genesis of my dancing skills.

41. If you were traveling to another continent would you rather fly or take a boat?
I think boats are very romantic, because they make me think of steam liners and Titanic--not the actual ship but the CGI version with a very handsome Leo DiCaprio aboard. So, if someone could guarantee that I wouldn't get seasick and that I would get to wear pretty dresses and have someone give me a giant diamond (and Celine Dion singing in the background) then I'd be all for taking that boat.

42. Why is the sky blue during the day and black at night?
Isn't it something about the earth being in the shadow--and the turning of the axis and all that fun stuff? When are you supposed to learn those things anyways?

43. What does your name mean?
"cutter of cloth" how original.

44. Would you rather explore the deeps of the ocean or outer space?
Neither. I'm afraid of fish and dark things. So both the ocean and outer space sound like utter nightmares.

45. Word association
What is the first word that comes to mind when you see the word:
Air: balloon
Meat: vegetables
Different: strange
Pink: green
Deserve: receive
White: red
Elvis: sequins
Magic: Hat
Heart: break
Clash: (of the) Titans
Pulp: fiction

46. If you could meet any person in the world who is dead who would you want it to be?
Oh, tough one. I would say Jane Austen because I'm obsessed, but I'm afraid that she would be rather dull, Becoming Jane didn't help her reputation very much. So, baring Miss Austen, I would want to Pablo Casals, but only if I could convince him to play the cello.

47. What if you could meet anyone who is alive?
I think it would be super neat to meet Paul Washer, who is a pastor out in TX. I think that you should google him right now and listen to a sermon. Have you done it yet? Why not? I would know if you are because he tends to get really loud and emotionally, and sometimes yells, so if you were listening to him right now I would be able to hear it.

48. Is there a movie that you love so much you could watch it everyday?
How about miniseries--because A&E's Pride and Prejudice pretty much takes the cake. 8 hours of Colin Firth?

Need I say more? maybe I have time to go watch that before bed.

49. You are going to be stuck alone in an elevator for a week. What do you bring to do? Read, finish Season 4 of The Office, eat lots of Filipino food.

50. Have you ever saved someone's life or had your life saved?
I fell off of a water fall when I was 7 (my Dad came to get me after I got stuck on a ledge) and that concussion I had in college (again, Dad kept me from driving and took care of me). My Dad is pretty awesome.

I have now wasted enough time to successfully go to bed without having done any work of substance today. I know, it was quite an accomplishment. I did however at least manage to take a shower. Your applause is welcome.
