Re: Random powelle

  • My bathroom is a hideous shade of Grandma's wallpaper. So is my kitchen. This is what you get for buying your grandmother's house. It's pretty offensive, and I really need to start painting. 

    Lose 20 lbs. Whatever.

    Lately, cursive, but I like my printing better. 

    Most of them are pretty annoying. Reality "stars" who are famous for acting like drunken fools annoy me most, though. 

    Effing godforsaken Facebook.

    What color is your bathroom? one is dark grey, one is light grey and one is green-grey (I like grey)

    If you could either gain 20 IQ points or lose 20 pounds, which would you choose? gain 20 IQ points. Losing 20 lbs would be crazy unhealthy for me, especially with a baby on the way.

    What color is your bathroom? Our bathroom hasnt been renovated yet. So, it is currently beige and Golden Girls Peach with brass accents (ACK!!). And because we opted to renovate the kitchen and other areas..that renovation isnt happening for a little while. Hold me.

    If you could either gain 20 IQ points or lose 20 pounds, which would you choose? Um, 20lbs please. Judge away. LOL

    Print or cursive? Print.

    Most annoying celebrity: A tie between Lady Gaga and Nikki Minaj

  • What color is your bathroom?  They are all white. One has navy blue accents the other has aqua and brown. The third one is ocean themed. Kind of.

    If you could either gain 20 IQ points or lose 20 pounds, which would you choose? Gain IQ points. I'd be sick if I lost 20 pounds!

  • Like a peachy color.

    Lose 20 pounds. I already have a high IQ so I'm good.

  • What color is your bathroom? I think it's trying to be white, but it's so old it's kind of tan... I think a smoker used to rent my unit.

    If you could either gain 20 IQ points or lose 20 pounds, which would you choose? I would gain 20 IQ points.  First, so I could ACE the GMATs and second because I think I'd be dead if I lost 20 pounds.

    Print or cursive? Print, it used to be cursive all the time... but I need to write too quickly in meetings to keep that up.

    Most annoying celebrity: Zooey Deschanel.  I go in to a blind rage every time she appears on my screen.

    Favorite website (other than TN): Livestrong, Runner's World

  • One bathroom is a moss green and one is a sky blue...and then the master bathroom is retina-searing orange.  The blue and the green bathrooms aren't bad colors, but the former owners did a schitty job painting them, so we'll be repainting them soon.  As soon as this weekend, actually.

    I'd lose 20 pounds.  I'm smart without being insufferable, and I'm happy with that.

    I write exclusively in print.

    I cannot stand Justin Bieber.

    I'm a Gawker addict.  Lately I've been into Mental Floss as well.

    What color is your bathroom? White and Taupe

    If you could either gain 20 IQ points or lose 20 pounds, which would you choose? Can I gain 10pts and lose 10lbs?

    Print or cursive? I write in a weird conglomeration of both

    Most annoying celebrity: Pretty much all of them

  • It's peach and lime green.  It's not as bad as it sounds, really.

    I was going to say gain 20 IQ points, duh, but then I really thought about it.  I'm already considerably smarter than almost everyone I come across (yeah, it sounds douchey, but it's just the damn truth), and it's frustrating as hell.  Do I really want to make that difference even more stark?  I think I'd rather lose the weight and have to shop for new clothes (which I hate) than feel like I'm surrounded by idiots even more so than I do now.

    I print, but it looks kind of cursive-y for some reason.

    Zooey Deschanel - I know nothing about her personal life, which speaks well for her, but that character she always plays annoys the bejeezus about me.  And the fake dark hair annoys me, too.

    I kind of love cracked.com.

    What color is your bathroom?

    The top half is a cocoa brown (we call it "Glen Coco".  10 points to someone who gets the reference) and the bottom half is this cool goldy-beigey-mustard-y color.  The color combination reminds me of a teddy bear.

    If you could either gain 20 IQ points or lose 20 pounds, which would you choose?

    I'm smart enough.  I'd lose the 20 pounds ;o) 

    Print or cursive?

    I do a combo of both

  • What color is your bathroom? White

    If you could either gain 20 IQ points or lose 20 pounds, which would you choose? Gain 20 IQ points. Not sure what difference that would make though.

    Print or cursive? Print. Everyone compliments me on my nice writing.

    Most annoying celebrity: There's a lot. First to come to mind is Kathy Griffin

    Favorite website (other than TN): Not sure?

    What color is your bathroom? It's a pinky peach...it's ugly.  It's tile from the 50's and the tile goes 3/4 of the way up the wall.  Luckily the tub, toilet and sink are white.  I paired it with a light cream and chocolate brown and that made it somewhat tolerable.  My son's bathroom is bright blue w/oil rubbed bronze accessories and tan/chocolate brown/blue rug and towels.

    If you could either gain 20 IQ points or lose 20 pounds, which would you choose? 20 IQ points only because I have way more than 20 lbs to lose so 20 lbs wouldn't make much of a dent.  I might as well at least benefit from my smarts.

    Print or cursive?  cursive.  I like writing and I like it to look pretty.

    Most annoying celebrity:  All of them.  I find Jim Carey slightly more annoying than most, I guess.

    Favorite website (other than TN):  I love online shopping so sites like Amazon can keep me happy for a bit.  I also frequent the Weight Watchers boards.

  • What color is your bathroom? White. The whole apartment thing, you know.

    If you could either gain 20 IQ points or lose 20 pounds, which would you choose? 20 IQ points

    Print or cursive? I combine them

    Most annoying celebrity: I don't pay attention to any except Ryan Reynolds, Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, and Tim Roth.

    Favorite website (other than TN): FB

  • My bathroom is the same color as the rest of my apartment. Off-white. It contrasts so nicely with my shades of green shower curtain.

    IQ points please. 

    I like to mix the two. I am non-committal that way.

    Does Santorum count as a celebrity? I roll my eyes every time he speaks. Other than that, maybe Nicholas Cage? I can't bring myself to watch any movie he is in recently.

    Maybe Foodgawker? I like to peruse the food blogs.

    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
  • What color is your bathroom? My bathroom is this weird dark green with a faux finish leftover from the previous owner.  My H is oddly adamant against painting it.  IDK why, since I'd be the one painting it.

    If you could either gain 20 IQ points or lose 20 pounds, which would you choose? lose 20 lbs.  Honestly, I don't typically use the IQ points I have, and it's kind of an arbitrary metric anyway.

    Print or cursive? print.

    Most annoying celebrity: pretty much any Lohan.

    Favorite website (other than TN): Facebook, then Cracked, then The Chive, based on my Nook's ranking of how often I use bookmarks.

  • What color is your bathroom? Greens

    If you could either gain 20 IQ points or lose 20 pounds, which would you choose? Hmm, I'll split it and do 10 IQ and lose 10 pounds :)

    Print or cursive? Depends on what I'm writing, if it's writing something for someone else, print. If it's for my own notes if I'm on the phone/talking with someone, it's a mix of print and cursive.

    Most annoying celebrity: hmmm...I'll have to think about this one

    Favorite website (other than TN): Yahoo news (just because it's my homepage on my smart phone)


  • imageBowiesInSpace:

    What color is your bathroom? Ugly. It's not been updated since we moved in. Just plain ugly.

    If you could either gain 20 IQ points or lose 20 pounds, which would you choose? Tough call. I'd want to lose the 20 pounds.

    Print or cursive? Haha. I usually start off printing, and by the end of what I'm writing, I've gone cursive.

    Most annoying celebrity: Just one?
