#49, LIST FRIDAY, SUPER (and only slightly late!) EDITION

You know it really is gonna be super because I put it in all caps.

I feel bad for skipping out on L.F.* last week, I was house-sitting and had no wireless. Apparently I am now such a spoiled brat that I cannot be bothered to sit in an actual chair in front of a desk and write something. Also, I am reasonably sure that I went out last Friday night, but I cannot for the life of me remember where. Wait! I remember. I went to see Polymaths and Rah Rah at the Exchange. Haha! See? I didn't do a list because I was having an actual life! Kind of. I suppose one could say that technically I went to that show with my dad, but whatever.

ANYWAY, I feel bad, so I am going to do EXTRA lists this week.

The Places I Have Lived

• The Lemberg House (April, 1988-August, 2001). My favorite house that I have lived in. Most of the time I lived there my bedroom did not have a door (in fact, it only had three walls), there was a unicorn sticker on the window, there was writing on the walls in the backroom.
• The Athol St. house (August 2001-January 2002). My least favorite house that I have lived in. There was an unblanaced roommate, a dog named Kokanee and a claw-foot tub. It was only a block away from my school.
  
• The Garnet St. house (January 2002-December 2004). Very cute children everywhere, lots of babysitting to be done in houses that had satellite TV when I had nothing. The first house in Regina that I really unpacked in (in fact, I distinctly remember unpacking while listening to the No Doubt album Rock Steady). My best friend in the city lived across the alley. Also, this house was in walking distance of a movie theatre with the best Coke ever, which is now closed. I saw Blue Crush, X2 and at least one of the Lord of the Rings movies there.
• The Montague St. house (December 2004-November 2006). Across the street from my aunt and uncle (very sitcom-ish). Sometimes we put a futon on the stairs and used them as a slide. I had a lot of stuff on my bedroom walls.
• The Princess St. house (November 2006-January 2007). I was only here briefly the first time around. There was Winnie the Pooh wallpaper in my bedroom.
  
• Kate's house in Calgary (January 2007-April 2007). Very cute nephews. I read a lot. I had very excellent naps living here, my mattress was wonderful. The only avenue I have ever lived on.
• The Princess St. house again (April 2007-present). Winnie the Pooh is gone now, my walls are green. My room is very tiny and always a disaster. A very conveniently located house a far as libraries, bus stops and cabbage rolls are concerned.

My Favorite Things of the Past Two Weeks

• Favorite book: The Sweet Far Thing (which made me cry a lot.)
  
• Favorite headline: Super Tuesday? Super Stalemate.
  
• Favorite food: Chicken fingers.
  
• Favorite beverage: Orange juice and soda water... with a little bit of pineapple juice. Oh my gosh it is so delicious.
  
• Favorite TV show: Tie! The Wire and Robin Hood (the BBC version)**
  
• Favorite website: Goodreads

Word I Have Heard Strange Pronunciations of Recently

• Wizened (said like "wise" instead of like "wiz", which is ridiculous because everyone knows that this word is meant to describe one who has become like a wizard)
• Clandestine (said as if it were the name of a country in the Middle East, like "Bush wants to invade Clandestine.")
• Penchant (said with the French pronunciation, in my English class, by the prof)
  

In conclusion: Here is a picture of me last week when I didn't have a headband to hold my hair back while I washed my face, so I had to use dental floss which was both very effective and pleasantly curly.






*Abbreviations are fun!

**They are not entirely dissimilar actually. McNulty (that's McNulty, Kenzie, not McNutly) and Robin are both sort of roguish, charming, rule-breakers-for-the-greater-good-types.
