The Vox Question of the Day - Who's the most annoying person on TV?

Oh boy, that is a loaded question.  It really should be who doesn't annoy you on TV?  Here are a few that come to mind immediately.

KOMO 4 the ABC affiliate in Seattle has put together quite a group of newscasters that drive me crazy.  They include:
  • Steve Pool cause he is a tool and he is ALWAYS wrong, so much so that he even wrote a book about it!
  • Jim Castillo because he stammers and his eyes are set too closely together.
  • Natasha Curry because she is cheesy and she has a freakishly large forehead.
I really like the show 1 vs. 100 and would probably watch it but I can't stand Bob Saget.

I won't watch America's Funniest Videos or Dancing with the Stars because Tom Bergeron is too annoying for words.

My brother thinks I am frigging special

I received the email below from my brother this morning. At first glance I was shocked that my brother who hates chain mail as much as I do would forward just a message, that was until I read it and then I cracked up! Enjoy! And Dave, I think you're frigging special too! :-)

Today is International Disadvantaged People's Day. Please send an encouraging message to a retarded friend... Just as I've done.

I don't care if you lick windows,
Screw farm animals,
Take the short bus
Or occasionally shit yourself...

You hang in there sunshine,

You're frigging special.

QotD: Also Known As

The Vox Question of the Day - What other names did your parents consider for you?

My parents didn't know for sure if I was going to be a boy or a girl. The girl names that they had picked out were Jennifer Lynn and Julie Anne. My mom says that as soon as they looked at me they knew that I was a Julie and not a Jenny and I agree. My mother was fairly certain that I was going to be a girl but they had names picked out in case I had been a boy that included Jeffrey Lynn or David Alan. That's probably why my brother who was the next one along because David Alan.

QotD : Just Five More Minutes

The Vox Question of the Day - What time is your alarm clock set for? Do you use the snooze button?

My alarm is set for 5:30 a.m. and I ALWAYS use the snooze button. I keep the alarm clock across the room and I get out of bed and hit the snooze button and then crawl back into bed to finish the waking up process. I rarely fall back asleep during that time but if I do the alarm wakes me again. I usually crawl out of bed around 5:45 a.m. and turn the alarm clock off.

QotD: It Set Me Apart

Vox Question of the Day - What set you apart from the rest of the kids at school?

Two things immediately come to mind. The first is my height. I was ALWAYS the tallest girl in my glass throughout much of school until the boys hit puberty and then a few of them caught up. I hated being tall as a kid and although I have accepted that it's just the way it is, I sometimes wish I were a more reasonable height.

The second thing would be religion. I grew up as a Presbyterian in the Salt Lake Valley which is made of a majority of LDS people. There are a few instances from my childhood where the difference cause a situation that was very painful but throughout the majority of the time I just made the best of the situation.

True Blue

You Are A Blue Girl

Relationships and feelings are the most important things to you.
You are empathetic and accepting - and good at avoiding conflict.
If someone close to you is in pain, it makes you hurt as well.
You try to heal the ones you love with your kind and open heart.
