In light of the stress of my last entry, I have decided to pontificate on some of the weird things that I enjoy. Not like my favorite color or song or whatever, but less standard than that.
Favorite thing to laugh about: Right now, it is Melvin. He keeps doing this thing where he lays precariously close to the edge of the bed or couch waiting for petting, but because of his weight, the mattress sinks down and he ends up slipping right off and on to the floor. He has done this so many times and never learns, and it always cracks me up.
Favorite TV Show to Watch While Working: Mythbusters
Favorite Way to De-Stress: SLEEP. This must be why John says I sleep alll the tiiime
Favorite Pick-Me-Up: McDonalds’ Mocha Frappe
Favorite Sound: Sometimes when he is yawning, Melvin accidentally meows and it comes out as a little squeak. It is the cutest thing ever!
Favorite Street Names: Navarre Rd. and Wabash – oh, so sexy!
Favorite Diagnosis I Have Gotten: Patellofemural Syndrome in both knees. I am happy about this because finally there is an explanation for all the pain!
Favorite Kind of Dog that John will Never let me Have: Weiner! (the brown kind like Amanda has)
Favorite Moment of Hypocrisy: When I am driving down the road in the middle of the day and get frustrated with all the traffic. I always exclaim in my head, “Why aren’t all these people at work?!”
Favorite Article Citations: (Gelso, 1979) and (Crocker and Algina, 1986)
Favorite Professor Quote: From Dr. Doverspike describing some statistical equation-- “This is so beautiful, you should cry.”
Favorite Academic Word: Posit. I love it when an article says something like, “Therefore, we have posited that self-esteem will be negatively related to body image disturbance” W00t!

Favorite Made-Up Word that Accurately Describes How I Feel: Floopy
