Oklahoma Culture

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

We’ve all seen the ladies who have either plucked out their eyebrows (for whatever insane reason) or had them fall out, only to paint them back on using some form of makeup.

Weird, but acceptable, I guess.

But here in Oklahoma, we not only do that during breakfast (in public, by the way), but we use a black sharpie. For those of you abroad, this is a bold, black permanent marker.

All I could do the entire time this woman was there today was stare at these eyebrows of hers. And try not to laugh. Oklahoma culture at its finest, no doubt.

Questions Answered

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Thanks to all of you who left me questions, and phooey on those of you who didn’t. Anyhow… here they are. Also, if you still want to leave me questions on the original post, I’ll be glad to answer them for you here.

Bobbi-Lee asked: What do you plan to be/do when you “grow up” (leave school etc) and why?

In a perfect world, I would love to travel, anywhere, just to learn the language and soak up the culture of each country. Maybe I’d be working on a novel, or maybe I’d be freelancing (web design, of course), or who knows? I’d love to go to Israel. Or Italy. Or Scotland. Or Germany…

In a realistic (yuck) world, I see myself in a little house with a big yard for my cat collection… working on that novel or freelancing or teaching or whatever the Lord would have me do.

And in the near-ish future… I’d just like to get into college and be able to stay there without completely going broke.

Ask Me Your Questions

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

Amanda started this… just so you all know.

This is what I want you to do. At the bottom of this post, click the comment link. Now, I want you to leave me a comment and ask me any question that you want me to answer in my next post. It can be anything within reason… from the meaning of life, to my feelings on cats.

I don’t care if you’ve never met me, are my best friend, know me, don’t know me, or your computer is conspiring against your typing skills… ask a question. I’m hoping this will inspire some conversation. Plus, if you’ve got a site, I’ll link back to it. And I’ll give you an e-cookie if you really want one.

So… ask away!
