I am all packed up and ready to move out (yay!). Welll....okay, not exactly. More like go on a three-week vacation, kind of. Except people don't usually have vacations during Christmastime...hmm. Well, the point is, this semester is nearly over, and I can leave this place for a while!!!
So, since I have everything all packed, and there's no way to study for an essay final in the morning, I'm sitting here bored, like always. So, I decided to compile a list of the best things of the past year, and a few of the stranger or worst, too, while I'm at it.
Best Blog - www.itjustgetsstranger.blogspot.com. Or www.eligetstobeamommy.blogspot.com. These are both run by a Mormon lawyer who lives on an island somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Seriously. And he is a fantastic writer, they're absolutely hysterical.
Best Movie Seen in Theaters - This is easy, there's only one candidate. So, for that reason, this category goes to "The Amazing Spider-Man". (There's two posts written about in, in July and November.)
Most Bizarre, Confusing and Violent Movie Seen - "Inception", I still have no idea what was going on, it's a nightmare for people like me, trying to dissect it.
Best Pro Sports Team - The Oklahoma City Thunder. We got to the NBA Finals, people!!! SO incredibly awesome. (Although points are deducted for trading James Harden in October, but....that's another post.) The Denver Broncos would come second, but they traded Tim Tebow, and then signed Peyton Manning, and started using those awful orange jerseys...St Louis Cardinals are in third.
Most Loathed Pro Sports Team - Hmm. All the usual candidates are still in the mix, so it's a tough call beween the Miami Heat, LA Lakers, New York Yankees, New York Giants or New England Patriots.
Best Non-Country Song of the Year - "Home" by Phillip Phillips would be a good choice, except that I never really liked it all that well in the first place, and then they started playing it EVERY.SINGLE.PLACE.ON.THE.PLANET, so that's out. That horrible Gotye tune "Somebody I Used To Know" is annoying, never understood the whole fuss over "Gangnam Style" or whatever that's called. This is easy. "Call Me Maybe", Carly Rae Jepsen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWNaR-rxAic (It's catchy, lyrics are stupid but clean, easy to play, great for making parodies of.)
Best Parody of Best Non-Country Song of the Year - Even easier than the above category, these guys are awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QibG6gTTa38 Although the President (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX1YVzdnpEc) and the US Olympic Swim Team (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPIA7mpm1wU) come close to giving those college guys a run for their money.
Best Country Song of the Year - Hmm. This is tough, but I guess it would be a tie between Keith Urban's "For You" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWK1sG3spiE) or Miranda Lambert's "Over You" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y2icHOgC5U). Jason Aldean's "Tattoos On This Town" would be right there, but it came out in September 2011, so it's doesn't count.
Strangest Experience from January-June - Senior pictures in March, or graduating high school in May. Or maybe not paying any attention to the Super Bowl.
Strangest Experience from July-December - College.
Favorite Unexpected Happening of the Year - Well, going to the Bible conference in Louisville in April was a very neat experience. (There's a post about that, too.)
Favorite Semiexpected Happening of the Year - Alton and JB's wedding, or Buttermilk having twins.
Least Favorite Unexpected Happening of the Year - Rookie Bridge Camp.
Favorite Time Spent With Friends - Helping with the newsletters at the Fergusons' in March, or the last time at SGYC in July.
Best Sporting Event on Television - The Olympics, duh. And the Daytona 500, once it finally started, was pretty noteworthy, too.
Best Time to Walk Around the NSU Campus - Early morning, around 7-8 a.m, the place is sleeping, it's peaceful and quiet, and good lighting for photography.
Worst Time to Walk Around the NSU Campus - Weekends. It's dead. Nothing happening. And you always feel like somebody's watching you, you're about to get attacked....Or nighttime, because it's really dark.
Best Place to Play Guitar on Campus - Uh, well...nowhere, really. But the front porch of Ross is okay, and over by the fountain, or sitting on the memorial in front of Seminary Hall, those are all acceptable.
Favorite American Idol Contestants of Season 11 - Hollie Cavanagh, Colton Dixon, Heejun Han and Skylar Laine.
Least Favorite American Idol Contestants of Season 11 - Jessica Sanchez, DeAndre Brackensick, Joshua Ledet and Jermaine Jones. (Ugh....)
Predictions for Season 12 of American Idol - It will be a mess. Another season of lame themes, dull song choices, freaky antics by judges who don't actually critque anything, and the wrong people getting voted off every week.
Strangest Temporary Job - Being a marketer for a Nintendo DS video game based off the Nickelodeon show iCarly.
Hardest Item to Write This Year - Either scholarship essays, my graduation speech, or any of the three essays I've had to write in Comp I so far. I just don't know how to write essays yet! Haven't done enough of them to get good at it.
Strangest Argument of the Year - A several-hour debate over whether Ferdinand the bull was gay...Jon and Sam said he was, Amanda and I said he wasn't.
Weirdest Quote I Can Remember Saying - "I wonder what people would do if I started howling at the moon...?"
Best Quote of the Year - "Hey, um....we're awesome, so can you come check us out?!" Sam, very loudly, in the middle of the pharmacy...
