friday five and other goodness

1. what food do you like that most people hate?
hmm ... i love salsa to a ridulous degree. now while this may not be considered something most people hate, the pairing of salsa with some of my other foods may prove somewhat surprising. for example - salsa and bread. salsa and celery. salsa and carrots. salsa and salad. and the hotter, the better. give me salsa where my face flushes at the first taste. mmm ...

2. what food do you hate that most people love?
i wish i could get into the whole sushi craze, because it's supposedly so good for you ... but as someone who's just barely getting into eating cooked fish, the idea of raw fish is just too horrible for words. pity.

3. What famous person, whom many people may find attractive, is most unappealing to you?
i'm not into th e whole gangsta look, so that rules out a lot of the bad boy types people find so appealing. on the other end of the spectrum, there are a lot of incredibly pretty boys who get on my nerves (nick lachey is attractive, i suppose, but definitely not my type). give me the quirky, almost a bit of scruffiness or wildness (whether it's howie hair, jason dorkiness, orlando british-ness, etc.). someone who's attractive but doesn't take his look too seriously.

4. what famous person, whom many people may find unappealing, do you find attractive?
this one's tough - i would have said chris martin, but now everyone's all up on him ... i'm not sure. need to ponder this one. my problem now is that society is embracing the slight, sensitive artsy angsty guys i generally find myself attracted to. so they're not considered unattractive by society anymore.

5. what popular trend baffles you?
WHY IS IT SUCH A STRUGGLE TO FIND SIMPLE, CLASSIC (albeit bootcut and low-waisted), NON-DIRTY LOOK, FREE OF PINK THREADING, BEADING OR PRINT JEANS AND NICE, TAILORED FITTED BUTTON-DOWN SHIRTS????

my packrat ways have reached the point of absurdity. while going through boxes of belongings tonight, looking for some critic information i plan on passing out tomorrow in class (HA!), i stumbled across years' worth of acquisitions, including the following:

- academic course catelogue from last semester of college
- orientation information from '98
- advertisements for defender
- old mail for defender
- prom pictures
- sweet sixteen birthday card from then-boyfriend
- picture of matt damon from my freshman year closet collage
- high school journals
- more defenders than i care to admit
- clippings from newspapers about the uvm hockey scandal
- a copy of my birthday email from clint (FROM THREE YEARS AGO - god i'm old), as well as his contact information for when he moved to d.c. two and a half years ago ...
- binder upon binder of classwork from throughout college
- my midsummer binder - containing three copies of the script - all annotated for the smc production, a list of cast member conflicts and at least thirty copies of the contact sheet.

as well as notes, photos, clippings, etc. from random moments in vickie history. someone's going to have fun sorting through everything when i move ... yet i know i can't get rid of any of it ... for some reason, i always feel like i'll need it someday. for scrapbooks or whatnot. or i'll just have to become famous quickly so someone else goes through it all for some huge archive somewhere.
