I love how it looks like a traffic light


My sister started a "favorite things" list, in an effort to be more like Oprah I suppose.
So in an effort to mock her (my sister and Oprah), I will now present one of my favorite things.
And that is: G-chat.
G chat allows me to present myself to an online group of friends as witty, clever, and intelligent, which is generally a lie if you interact with me in the real world but that's the beauty of it all.
If someone uses a big word, I google it. If I need to use a big word, I look one up (typically by googling) and unlike a real conversation where I'm not allowed to consult a dictionary or thesaurus, I've got all the time in the world to respond. No time constraint makes being witty a breeze.
But the best is that I'm able to create the illusion that I'm busy. (See above picture)
Its just not true.
I'm fairly certain I was clipping my fingernails when I took this screen-shot.

You are also seeing my favorite habit of 'status chatting.' It gives me the ability to broadcast a message to all my friends (and Dr. Jensen, my professor), so whether I'm asking individuals to rate me or just giving a shout out to a friend's mind-blowing ghetto booty, mass communication is one of my 'favorite things.'

How true. And I'm glad I made your screen shot.

it's true, i need more. that's the beauty of leaving it so nonspecific. at any given moment, i mostly likely need more of something, be it sleep, time, love, etc.

Thanks for the shout out. Laughed out loud in the middle of class. One of life ambitions was to make onto all of your blogs and I think that has finally happened. It's an interesting feeling, achieving this goal. I feel that there is nothing in life left to strive for. Maybe you should create yet another blog for me to work at getting mentioned on.
