It's a regular ol' Monday morning. English class was cancelled today so I got to come home early (w00t!). I am extremly tired today and I really don't know why. I slept for nearly 12 hours Sunday and 8 hours last night. What's wrong with me?! lol It's going to be butt-hot today again. This is getting towards the end of September here. This fall "season" needs to start swinging into full gear soon. Oh wait, I forgot. Us silly Californians don't know what seasons are. We have two: hot and mild. I want cold, and soon!

I kinda kicked butt this weekend with my Yahoo Pick 'ems. I was 11 for 14 but there is still tonight's game to be played, so I could be 12 for 14. Not too shabby I say. I'm still lagging in total points because I missed out on the first two weeks. I should be caught up soon.

Monday Mission:

1. When I was young, my Mom would always drink a cold Dr. Pepper in the morning. Me, I can go either way. I like a Cold Frappucchino in the Summer months and switch to warm Mocha Espresso in the Fall. Do you like to drink warm beverages in the morning or do you prefer yours cold?
It doesn't really matter lol I usually drink a tea if I need some caffene, but I usually like to wake up and grab a big glass of water.

2. Have you ever been so upset with someone that you wanted to get revenge? What did you do? Or if you didn't, what would you like to have done?
I am not usually that upset with someone to want revenge.

3. Sometimes I can look back at my past and see so many things that I was too naive to take advantage of. A time where I could have moved ahead in my career if only I'd chosen to move, the High School girlfriend who said she would do anything if I just asked, and so on. Looking back, are there any opportunities you missed out on that you can see now but didn't realize then?
I'm 18 so I don't have much of a life to look back on. There is one thing I wish I would have taken advantage of. I look back now and very much wish I would have utilized my time in high school much more effectivly. I basially screwed off the entire time. I had a chance to make a big "something" of myself and I chose to be a naive high schooler who thought everything would be alright, all the time. Bah, nope. Sh*t hit the fan lol

4. Today I tried on my black slacks, and they are just a skosh too tight (yeah it's a real word, look it up). Of course, I wore them anyway. Are there any clothes you refuse to throw away even though they don't (and never will) fit? Why do you keep them?
Haha yes. There's a dress I bought back in '99 that I won't give away. There are some jeans that I keep in my drawer as insentive to loose those pesky 15 lbs so I just might be able to fit into them. I think all females do that :)

5. Although my speech classes eliminated most if it, I still have a little Okie accent left. I say "Git" instead of "Get" and "Collar" instead of "Color." Do you have an accent? Are there any phrases or words you say that tip folks that "you aren't from around these parts?"
If I have an accent at all, it's a Californian one (if we even have it, and no I don't mean a valley girl accent either). Sometimes I say "y'all," "folks," etc. eventhough I'm not from Texas or the surrounding area. I just pick up random words from people and incorporate them into my everyday speech.

6. Speaking of phrases, it really drives me nuts when folks say "very unique" (Unique has no degrees, it is either unique or it isn't) or "irregardless" (not a real word). Are there any words folks misspell or incorrect uses of words that simply drive you insane?
I mispell words sometimes but there are a few that drive me up the wall: "Weird" "Ignorant". I can't think of anymore at the moment.

7. I am guilty of using pet names a bit too often, like "honey," "babe," and "sweetie." However, currently, no one uses any pet names on me (and I think I'd like one). Are there any pet names that you like to be called? Any you don't? Do you (or did you) have any pet names for your partner?
It doesn't matter to me. As long as you can remember my real name, I'm fine with that. I usually like being referred to as "Amanda" instead of some other generalized noun. There's a reason why I have a name! lol

BONUS: Why you so fly?
You tell me.
