1. Every January 1st since 1976 Lake Superior University has published a list of words they'd like to see banished from the Queen's English. Words may be banished due to misuse, overuse or just general uselessness (go here to read more about how the words were chosen). Here are the words/phrases they'd like to see banished in 2014-
selfie, twerk/twerking, hashtag, Twittersphere, Mr. Mom, T-bone, ____on steroids, the suffixes-ageddon, and -pocalypse added to anything and everything, from the world of politics the words-intellectually/morally bankrupt and Obamacare, and from the world of sports the words-adversity and fan base
Which of these words/phrases would you most like to see banished from everyday speech and why? Is there a word not on the list you'd like to add?
I'd like to see twerk/twerking taken out. It is so overused and not even a very flattering dance. It's just atrocious and everyone is doing it. Well supposedly! I for sure am not doing it.
2. What one unfinished project nags at you begging to be completed in this new year?
The unfinished project I want to finish is a collage photo frame that is waiting for pictures. I have about half of it filled in, but the other half sits empty. If I don't fill it in soon, the pictures will be too old and I will have to start all over again.
3. When did you last have a bowl of soup? What kind? Homemade or from a can? What's your favorite soup?
I tend to eat soup a lot when it gets cold. The last bowl I had was a bowl of clam chowder. It was super yummy and it was from a can. I've never made my own soup, but I'm sure it isn't hard to do. I want to try it this winter, so technically all of my soups are from a can. My favorite right now is corn chowder made by any of my hula sisters other than me, because it always tastes better when you don't have to make it.
4. Snowed in, snowed under, snow job...which one most applies to your life in recent days, figuratively speaking.
I hate snow, so I try to stay away from all of these! Hee hee! But I guess I will have to pick snowed in...We should have been snowed in right before Christmas break, but the snow hit all around us and we ended up going to work any way. The stinky part was that the ice wasn't anyone's best friend and many people had a hard time with the ice.
5. What's the funniest movie you've ever seen, or at least one of the funniest?
Funniest movie, I think was probably Dude, Where's My Car? It was super stupid, but funny to me.
6. In general, would you say you're clumsy?
Not clumsy, pretty coordinated actually.
7. Elvis Presley was born on Hodgepodge Day (January 8th) back in 1935. Are you an Elvis fan? What's your favorite Elvis tune? If that's too hard, which Elvis tune do you dislike the least? Click here for a list of his songs.
I'm a fan of Elvis, but I don't know if I have a favorite song though. Wait.!!! I'm listenting to Pandora Wedding Station right now and guess what is playing: Can't Help Falling In Love by Elvis. So I pick that one.
8. Insert your own random thought here.
We are supposed to get hit by a huge storm this weekend. Wind gusts of 60 mph. Flooding in the rivers. Rain, rain, and more rain! I'm not ready for it. I'm supposed to go for a 6 mile run tomorrow. How is that supposed to work?
