It's my blog and I'll list if I want to

Foods so good I dream about them:
- guacamole
- hot & sour soup
- baklava

Addictions that might make me a Loser:
- mommy blogs
- crossword puzzles online (because you can check your answers, and yes, it totally makes me feel dumber instead of smarter, and I can't seem to finish the newspaper crosswords anymore because I can't check my answers and I have no one to blame but myself.)
- Dr. 90210
- reading Dear Margo, the advice column

Words most often found in crossword puzzles:
- tzar/csar
- ewe
- era
- eon

Things I just might be very proud of:
- knowing what Simon Cowell is going to say because I just thought it
- being able to identify celebrity voice-overs on commercials
- my Cranium skillz
- usually knowing what time it is, within ten minutes, without having to look at my watch

Most valuable and applicable skills learned:
- typing (and 10-key)
- ability to write a very formal letter
- neat handwriting
- parallel parking (why they don't have competitions for this, I don't know.)

Game shows I would totally suck at:
- Jeopardy!
- Dog Eat Dog

Game shows I would totally win:
- Lingo (can't you see me and No up there? we'd RAWK)
- Match Game (if it was still on the air)
- Wheel of Fortune

Things that might sounds weird but are actually very fun:
- playing Frisbee in water - think of the leaping and falling possibilities!
- riding roller coasters backwards
- while sitting shotgun on curvy country roads, stick your arms and upper torso out the window because it feels like a roller coaster and suddenly you get why dogs do that. Too bad they can't flail their arms around like humans, but maybe their flappity ears make up for it.
- looking up the astrological compatibility of all your friends' relationships
- looking up the astrological compatibility of your own relationship and deciding to never do that again because PSHAW, what does the computer know anyway?!

Alchoholic drinks they should make into hard candy:
- Margarita
- Tequila Sunrise
- Sex on the Beach
- White Russians
- Bailey's and coffee
(list alternately titled Gabby's Favorite Drinks)

Things I wish I knew how to do:
- shuck a clam
- drive a stick shift
- play the guitar
- speak fluent German
- fly a hot air balloon
- say NO to food and YES to exercise, though this Frisbee thing is wicked good
- play the drums

People, if you're feeling generous, tell me what you wish you knew how to do in the comments. I LOVE THE COMMENTS. And I LOVE YOU.

yes, i do acknowledge that this is your blog ;) truly.

top 10 things that need to appear on TV, for as Cher rightly says, until the world is peaceful enough not to have violence on the news you certainly cant take it out of tv shows that need it for entertainment!

1. more graphic surgeries - if not the actual body then at least the peripheral or the nast stuff that they take out, i.e. old implants, tumors, etc.
2. more gay gay gay stuff
3. if you can say bitch and ass, why for heavens sake can you not say shit?? i guess that is crossing a line. but i want to hear shit! say shit!
4. more adult cartoons - but like adult swim ... not ... cartoon sex in anime
5. azzzz kickin' intelligent girls
