This fridayfive is totally irrelevant to me. but I have nothing to write you tonight. so here it goes.

Where can you get some really good pancakes?
Wouldn't know. I hate the things.

How do you like your pancakes?
not on my plate.

What’s your theory on why restaurant waffles are so much more expensive than pancakes?
because they're better than wiggly pancakes... and they actually have pockets for your syrup!

The pancake chef is going whip up a batch of the most interesting, creative pancake invention you can imagine. What will you order?
if by pancakes you mean a really great egg omelet... mushrooms, cheese, tomatoes, and onions. oh and green peppers! Thanks!

When was the last time someone made you pancakes, not counting visits to restaurants?
A long time ago. If someone proves to me, though, that not all pancakes are bad... I am willing to reconsider my comments about this evil little breakfast.

:) have a good friday!

1. Which open-all-night establishment has been a lifesaver for you?
I've spent many a night at taco-bell or steak n shake. Taco bell never turns out to be a super great choice in the end though!

2. What open-all-night establishment is closest to where you live?
Taco-hut... its a pizza hut and taco bell put together. Only two blocks away on High Street.

3. What nonexistent open-all-night establishment could you really use in your life?
the gym. haha!

4. Which open-all-night establishment in your town is least likely ever to see your patronage in the wee hours of the morning?
I live in a college town... I don't think we ever sleep... so no where. Everywhere is always full.

5. Have you ever purchased anything advertised on television late, late at night?
nooooo way. i don't really buy into those things...

...on saturday. whatever :)

taken from friday5.org
1. When did you last use graphing paper?
probably freshman year or highschool. Funny cause I love graph paper to draw on. it gives it a geeky look that looks really sweet.

2. When did you last use a highlighter?
Yesterday. welcome to college.

3. When did you last cover a book?
Uh, senior in highschool or junior even. its been awhile! they don't care anymore cause you're buying the books that are gonna be dated the next quarter! boo ohio state!

4. When did you last wear an apron or smock?
long time. I want to get one though for the Kitchen. Freaking love cooking.. hate getting my clothes all messed up with yummy food.

5. When did you last use glue?
Like 5 minutes ago to glue a picture into my journal. :-D

1. If a really, really good photographer — the kind who always makes you look good and still look like you — were to take your photo right now, what would be a good title for it?
Waiting. Cause I always feel like I am and like it is the story of my life.
2. If that photo were so good it belonged on the cover of a magazine, what would be a good choice, based on where you are and what you’re doing?
Well probably BUST or Nylon. Cause I'm growing a backbone (which i'm pretty proud of) and I'm learning what it is to be strange and beautiful and a mess all at the same time.
3. If you took an interesting or aesthetically pleasing photo of something in your view right now, what might it be, and what would its title be?
Oh Lord, My room is a mess. Probably my ladies on the wall. They're the brightest thing in this room with their Rastafarian colors ;)
4. Among people you know, who seems to have a knack for taking great shots of people?
I do. I'm not high and mighty about this. But I always take the pictures for my friends and edit them and play around with them. Photoshop = my boyfriend. :)
5. Are you usually happier with candid photos of you, or photos you’ve posed for?
Posed for. I have a good side. :)

speaking of good sides... this is totally mine. kidding ;) but its part of reasons why I love my friends. we take really stupid and ugly amazing and attractive pictures with each other while we wait in cars. :-P

I can't believe that made it out of my iphoto. ;) haha!

...Was when my new stylist finished my hair. OMG. MY HAIR = LOVE

I got an ash blond put in all over and then just in the front, i got chocolate brown panels. Sarah, the stylist, is seriously amazing. I friggin love it. It makes me confident I can actually pull off being a brunette. I want to be more daring with my hair. I actually want to go alittle bit more blond. This blond is beautiful but I want to really pop. ;) This girl at haircolorxperts in the Short North is amazing. This cut and color cost me only $15 bucks too!!!! AHHH! I worked out a deal with the salon and they gave me the best color job I've ever gotten. soooo excited! But the bad news was that I returned to my car to find a $33 parking ticket on my windshield. Oh, it was too good to be true.

and a really cool and appealing ghetto face is a staple every girl must have if she's ever had a blog/myspace/other timewaster. ohhhhh self portraits ;)

now the friday freaking five.org!
1. What’s something that’s hanging from your ceiling?

this week's Friday5

1. If you were on a game show and could phone a friend for help, who would your lifelines be for sports, arts & music, literature, history and geography, and science?
Sports would probably be my friend Karl... he seems to know everything about sports. plus he's always playing one.

Lastly science would probably be Ian and Jon... bio major and the other a veterinary medicine major.

2. When you need someone with muscles to help you with a task, who’s the first one you call?

3. When you need some creative help with ideas for a project, who’s the first person you call?
Laura or Brian. Super creative minds. I love it.

4. When you have a moral dilemma and need advice, on whom do you rely most?
Alicia when shes here... But for breaking rules I call marta... she is my partner in crime even though she's all the way in freaking London, England!

5. When you need to know the best way to get somewhere, which of your directionally-gifted friends do you call upon first?
Unfortunately... I am that friend. So if I'm lost... God help my other friends! ;)

Laird Hamilton, if you didn't know already, is one of the (if not THE) greatest big wave surfers in history. He is interviewed in Relevant Magazine for the Nov/Dec issue and I had no idea he was a believer. Freakin eh! Thats awesome! These are my two favorite Q&A's he had with the (incredibly awesome) magazine (that everyone should go read)... italics were put in by me by the way:

"Relevant Magazine: The 'thanks to' section of your Laird DVD ends with the following text: '... most of all to the one who made it all possible, the Lord.' Can you describe your relationship with God?
Laird Hamilton: Yes. Its an ongoing struggle to follow the messages in the bible that are designed to make the lives of Christians easier, to help us bypass of the pain and problems of this life. At the end of the day, we're all just people who share common struggles, urges and issues everyone has. Some of the churches I've visited have made me sad because the people there seem to have forgotten that Jesus told us not to judge, or we will be judged. I think it if were up to man, we'd all be cast into hell, because we're all quick to point out other people's flaws. I don't like to broadcast my relationship with the Lord because I don't want to be running around saying, 'Look at me, I'm perfect. I'm holier than thou,' because I'm not; I'm not great. I'm grateful for the forgiveness I have in God. In some ways life is easier when you don't know God, because once you know Him you're accountable.

RM: How do your experiences with 60-foot waves and other incredible forces of nature affect your posture towards God?
Hamilton: They make me grateful. Looking at my life, at the blessings I've had and continue to have, I realize that I am unworthy. I need to remember that I'm just a man-I need the hope, love, and grace the Word offers. I have to consciously remember to be positive and to give thanks to the Lord. There are blessings everyday, but its so easy to get off track and not acknowledge that.' "

Definitely have mad respect towards this man. :)


P.S. a surfing video on Laird Hamilton. He's basically a BAMF if I've ever seen one.

1. Of peace, joy, love, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control, which are you most lacking?
Probably patience and peace. I advocate so much peace and I love peace but its inner peace that I lack. I am not at peace with where I am at and with who I am just yet. I keep wanting to improve who I am and become a better person. Then, with that, comes my impatience. When things do not go as planned or I'm not good at something right away, I get very easily discouraged... and I become like a little spoiled brat when it comes to wanting something right. I'm learning though... always learning

2. Of peace, joy, love, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control, which are you most blessed with?
I have an amazing amount of self-control. Although I like to be outspoken and give my opinion... When it comes to a goal... I like to set myself on that path and put my blinders on until I reach it. Though, with the answer to my last question, I get antsy along the way... but my faithfulness comes in. I have an incredible amount of faith in people, my missions, and God.

3. The Scout Law says that a scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. Which of these are relative strengths for you?
Thrifty. I like making new things out of old ;)

4. Which of the elements in the Scout Law are relative weaknesses for you?
I'm not always as helpful as I would like to be. I'd like to be brave like i was when I was little again too.

5. If you were to create a list-type law, such as the Scout Law, for your occupation, what might it look like?
"A Human being is to be kind, love and encourage peace, treat everything as if it were a miracle, honor and cherish integrity, Laugh often, Risk, Discourage Censorship of your mind and feelings, and find out what makes them come alive."
