A guy I know from highschool, Joey, was on the college Jeopardy semi-finals today, and he won!! He's going on to the finals!
Downside: The other two finalists are from universities I've never heard of in my life, which means they're probably private, and they're probably fucking Einsteins. Also, one of them is Asian. Oh shit.
But Joey was totally the comeback kid! He was down at first, but suddenly just started gaining the lead! I was just like "DAMN JOEY REPRESENT MISSISSIPPI STATE WHATWHAT!"
Show us your oldest family photo.
This isn't the oldest I have, but it's the only one I have scanned onto my Photobucket since I posted it in a vintage photo community on Greatestjournal.
Looking at this picture has reinvigorated my pride in being from a family that subsisted from the earth and knew the value of real work. Am I a proud country girl? You bet your ass. And I scored a 26 on the ACT, so every single one of you who would look down your nose at me can politely kiss my Delta grits.
I had a profound moment of homesickness the other night. I was driving along and I caught a whiff of damp soil, and it made me yearn for the Delta so badly. I think that's where this confrontational attitude has stemmed from.
Put that in your proverbial pipe and smoke it. I'll be in Gatlinburg hiking if anyone needs me.
Show us your pride and joy.
My pride:
My string of cultured pearls. I have many a size and color string of faux pearls, but only one pair of the real thing. They don't get taken out very much, needless to say!
My joy:
Today has started off on the wrong foot. Sigh. Sonya Kitchell is gonna get me through it.
