The Mostest

Congrats if you are seeing this, then all of the pictures loaded & you deserve a medal for your perseverance. It also means that I didn't break the internet with my excessive loading of pictures. Ellesappelle had a wonderful post about the ten most things. Instead, my post looks like a yearbook of all of my stuff vying for most likely to succeed. In no particular order:

Most puzzling purchase. Also, most likely to end up at the thrift store. I bought this jacketish type thing on my 25th birthday. I must've been feeling old because I went to a store for teenagers that I don't usually shop in. I don't think teenagers would wear this. It reminded me of those cute jackets that Rory from Gilmore Girls always wears. However, it's not like the cute jackets that Rory from Gilmore Girls always wears because it is not cute. I also must've been channeling Joan Collins from Dynasty. I have never worn this. Luckily, the gold button fell off it, so now I have an excuse to give it away. Yes, I said gold button.

Most likely to run through my head when given a piece of poetry: This piece of poetry is meant to do harm by the Ark. I'm ok with most poetry, some of my favorite writers are poets, Edgar Allen Poe, Dorothy Parker. However, growing up in the 90's, I have some sort of weird poetry phobia. I'm ok with it, as long as poetry is not given to me or written about me. Apparently, it's called metrophobia: a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of poetry. There is a special clinic that advocates that prescription drugs aren't the answer. In the 90's most of my friends & significant others seemed to express themselves with poetry. If the poem was nice I would think "They don't really know me at all, they are just looking for stuff that rhymes". The worst is the break up poem. It seems if ever a relationship wasn't working out the guy would pretend to be cool with it & then write me a scathing poem & I couldn't discuss it rationally because if I tried then I just didn't understand his feelings. This is probably why I hate feelings too. So in my experience poetry wasn't so much a means of expression as it was meant to do harm. If you got to 2:38 in the video that's how I see anyone when they give me a piece of poetry, saying this piece of poetry is meant to do harm, followed by sinister dancing.

Most indicative of my personality goes to my CD case that holds 400 CDs. It's orange, I put the princess sparklies on myself. You just can't get more Sarakastic than that.
Most likely to succeed. My decor can best be described as early twenties chic, lots of dressers missing drawers. I refuse to buy woodish furniture at Swedish Walmart, although Ikea is great for a lot of other things. There is just something about particle board that makes me sad. So when it came time to buy a desk, I was going to spend some money on it. I was going to go to nice furniture stores & stores that end in barn. I was going to buy something that I could keep for awhile. So I did all that & all I found was fancy particle board for $700-$800. Sure, there were oak monsters that would require me to add on to the house, but I'm also not an oak fan. One of my furniture requirements is that it must be able to fit in the back of my car because I move so much. Fine, I'm a furniture snob. I gave up the search until I found this vintage mahogany sewing table at a garage sale for $15 with all of the drawers. It even has cool compartments that I can hide stuff in as long as they are shaped like a sewing machine. It needed a little refinishing, but it's not a veneer. So of all my furniture, this is the least likely to end up at the thrift store.
Most Distracting. My phone. I'm not talking about the Tom Waits ringtone or the Tom Waits wallpaper. I'm talking about the fact that the cover is called chameleon. It changes from purple to blue to green depending on the light. Yes, I have a college education, but things that change color will always fascinate me.

Most complimented. I own a lot of genuine gemstone gold & silver jewelry. However, I receive more compliments on these earrings than anything else I own. I bought them for $1 at Target.

Most infuriating artist title. I'm not an art snob. I have friends who won't like something if it's popular. I love Sunflowers by Van Gogh, so it's not the popularity aspect that bothers me. If you like pictures of cottages, then Thomas Kinkade is the way to go. I've gone to his gallery. I'm more adverse to the fact that the reproductions of his work cost hundreds of dollars. They tell you at the galleries that it's worth it because the pictures look like they are glowing. It's true. However, if you look closely you will see that it's basically a poster with white blobs of paint on it. I hate that he is called the painter of light. Here is a Kinkade:


Here is a Rembrandt who I think painted light better than anyone ever.





Most explainable reason for why I live in Utah. I complain about the snow a lot. I've lived in other states & I maintain that it's more difficult to date here. Utah men are just weird. However, besides my family, I still live here because at any moment, out of any window, I can take a picture that looks good.

Most played song. According to windows media player I have listened to This Year by the Mountain Goats 222 times. I'd insert a video here but I'm afraid of breaking my blog with too much information.

Most said expletive is probably crap. I try to tone things down because I live in a very conservative area. Most thought expletive is damn. It is not my fault that it's such a fun word to say/think.
