Well, you don't hear that everyday.
In my continued attempt to eat healthier, lose a little weight, and not die trying, I have discovered that soybeans are a "free" food.
I am in support of free foods.
And fortunately I like the soybeans, which are kind of like limas but they taste better and "pop" a little when you bite them. Since I can't eat popcorn or anything else crunchy, like normal people, I'll take what I can get. Until I came across the soybeans=free food about 15 minutes ago, I was ready to stew a cat and eat it. (Which is probably, like, 30 points.) And I had soybeans in the freezer, so I scarfed down a whole bunch. Much better than the bag of chips I attacked the other night.
Cosmicrayola has a quiz on her site (Happy Birthday, Jeffrey!) to find out which famous poet you are. I took the quiz. I would post the results, but I was not happy with them. Turns out I'm Emily Dickinson. Not! Not! I hate Emily Dickinson. (Her poems, of course, I have nothing against her personally.) I never read an Emily Dickinson poem that made a scrap of sense to me. Robert Frost, I understand. A whole lot of others, I appreciate, although my English teacher brain is apparantly on leave at the moment. My personal favorite poet (I'm not a major poetry fan) is someone named Richard Wilbur. Long story here that I won't go into. Suffice it to say that I understand what he writes.
The Friday Five has dissed me again; I didn't get the email. Nonetheless, it is Friday, and I know that, so here it is.
If you...
1. ...owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve? Healthy comfort food with no calories.
2. ...owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell? I think this store already exists, and it's called The Container Store. I love that place. Or maybe Harry Potter goods.
3. ...wrote a book, what genre would it be? A children's book.
4. ...ran a school, what would you teach? Ahhh. If I ran a school, I would teach ethics. If I were a classroom teacher (as opposed to a school librarian) I would teach English, which I'm certified for, or history, which I enjoy a lot.
5. ...recorded an album, what kind of music would be on it? Bad music. I cannot carry a tune, I have no rhythm.
I have decided to forgo the cutesy-pie font, for those of you who were able to get it. Not long ago, I copied a diary entry, pasted it right into Word, and sent it off to my nephew J1 to read. (The gay-marriage, rants, I believe.) Anyway, he said he just wasn't right; he's so used to seeing what I write in Comic Sans -- as if it's my handwriting -- that he had to convert it into Comic Sans before he could read it. I was amused, and even though I'm not so much a Comic Sans writer in general anymore, it seems better for the diary, so here it is.
