LaurenClaire

Hai.

How are you today?  I feel like we've never really chatted.  Let's chat.  How old are you?  Tell me all about LA.  I want to go there so bad.  I think that a vacation there would be an amazing time.  When's a good time to go?  Is January a decent time?  If I were to go, what is one dish and one restaurant I have to go to no matter what.  What do you do for work there?  How often do you drink alcohol?  Do you get drunk often?  (i do - these days)  I have been drinking far too much this summer.  Do you drink at home mostly or at pubs and stuff with friends?  Are you a good cook?  What's your favorite thing to cook?  How long have you and your FI been together?  When's the wedding?  Soon right?  What's your favorite thing to shop for?  Do you ever hang out on the knot at night time?  What are some other ways you burn time on the interwebz?  Pets?  Siblings? Do you like pizza?  I like pizza.  What's your favorite pizza toppings?  I just made pita pizza the other day.  I use pita instead of dough for the crust.  Perfect individual size... I put turkey sausage, mushrooms, olives and onion on it.  It was perfect.  What was the last piece of mail you got (besides bills)?  H has a friend in Europe and we just got two post cards yesterday.  Prague and Vienna.  We've gotten up to 12 now I think.  I love post cards.  I just found out that there are lots of snakes in Europe.  ::shudder::  I can only imagine the snakes you have in LA.  When was the last time you saw one?  Is it true that snakes will crawl  up into vehicle engines and like find their way into your AC vents?  ::shudder::  What's for lunch today?  I have some casserole thing I made yesterday.  So good.  I am loving that site danieliza recommended.  I wasted a lot of time on it yesterday.  A LOT of time.  Best franchise fast food?  Best franchise sit down dinner?  What does your FI do for work?  Are you both FROM Baton Rouge?  How did you meet?  Farthest from home you've been?  You guys taking a honeymoon? 

You have 30 minutes.

  • Manda, I have no idea.  Haha.  Sometimes I put more filler than other times I think... like answering my own questions and stuff.

    Usually people do it just under or just over.  If they see it when I post it of course.

    [QUOTE]Hai. How are you today? <strong>I've had better days, but I'm working on getting some perspective.</strong>  I feel like we've never really chatted.  Let's chat.  How old are you? <strong>I'll be 24 next month.</strong>  Tell me all about LA. <strong>I'm really proud to be from LA, even though we get a bad rep (sometimes deservedly so) sometimes.</strong> I want to go there so bad.  I think that a vacation there would be an amazing time.  When's a good time to go? <strong>A good time to go is spring, when it's not unbearably hot and the pretty stuff blooms. Unless you're a football fan, then go in fall and catch a Saints game in the Superdome. The atmosphere is amazing.</strong> <strong>Of course, there's Mardi Gras too, which is usually some time in February.</strong> Is January a decent time?<strong> Actually yes, depending on when Mardi Gras falls. If it's during Carnival season, you can see some really cool parades and drink your face off, if you can deal with massive crowds.</strong>  If I were to go, what is one dish and one restaurant I have to go to no matter what. <strong>Oh, this is hard. In Baton Rouge (where I live) the seafood canneloni at Gino's is to die for. In New Orleans, a muffaletta from Central Grocery is the best. And sit in the back of the store, at the counter, and drink it with a Barque's.</strong>  What do you do for work there?  <strong>I'm a paralegal for a mineral rights attorney. It's a cool firm, really laid-back. </strong>How often do you drink alcohol? <strong>Few times a week. I used to be a bartender at a really cool little neighborhood bar, and I never stopped going there after I quit working there. It's like the LA version of Cheers.</strong> Do you get drunk often?  (i do - these days)  I have been drinking far too much this summer.  Do you drink at home mostly or at pubs and stuff with friends? <strong>I catch a decent buzz once a week, usually, and it's almost always at said bar.</strong> Are you a good cook? <strong>I fancy myself pretty handy in the kitchen. I considered culinary school before I got the paralegal job.</strong>  What's your favorite thing to cook? <strong>Shrimp etouffee. There's a debate about whether etouffe is supposed to cream or tomato based. I prefer tomato.</strong> How long have you and your FI been together? <strong>We've been together 2 years, as of this past May. But we were friends for almost 4 years before we started dating.</strong>  When's the wedding?  Soon right? <strong>It's in November, and it's all really creeping up on me.</strong>  What's your favorite thing to shop for? <strong>Cothes, usually. Spending money gives me anxiety sometimes, so I don't shop all that much.</strong>  Do you ever hang out on the knot at night time? <strong>Sometimes, mostly when FI is gone for work and there's nothing decent on TV.</strong> What are some other ways you burn time on the interwebz? <strong>I can look at icanhascheeseburger.com (lolcats) for hours.</strong> Pets?<strong> I have 4 dogs, a boxer, two chihuahuas, and a chihuahua/yorkie mix.</strong>  Siblings? <strong>A brother, sixteen months younger than I am. He's my BFF.</strong> Do you like pizza?  I like pizza.  What's your favorite pizza toppings? <strong>Lurve pizza. Pineapple and Canadian bacon. Or Margherita, but only with good fresh mozzarella.</strong>  I just made pita pizza the other day.  I use pita instead of dough for the crust.  Perfect individual size... I put turkey sausage, mushrooms, olives and onion on it.  It was perfect.  What was the last piece of mail you got (besides bills)? <strong>A wedding invitation with a registry card but no response card.</strong>  H has a friend in Europe and we just got two post cards yesterday.  Prague and Vienna.  We've gotten up to 12 now I think.  I love post cards.<strong>I do too. We have one of the Kremlin in Russia, and although it's from FI's college GF, I like to keep it on the fridge cause it's cool.</strong>  I just found out that there are lots of snakes in Europe.  ::shudder::  I can only imagine the snakes you have in LA.  When was the last time you saw one?  Is it true that snakes will crawl  up into vehicle engines and like find their way into your AC vents?  ::shudder:: <strong>I'm morbidly afraid of snakes. Growing up at my parents' (in the woods) I saw them all.the.time. I've heard stories of them getting into plumbing and coming up through people's toilets, though it's never happened to me. The last time I saw one was on a tubing trip (<a href="http://www.tikitubing.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tikitubing.com/</a>) in a tree. I almost drowned trying to get as far away from it as I possibly could.</strong>  What's for lunch today? <strong>Pita wrap from the Greek place across the street. </strong>  I have some casserole thing I made yesterday.  So good.  I am loving that site danieliza recommended.  I wasted a lot of time on it yesterday.  A LOT of time.  Best franchise fast food? <strong>Raising Cane's, though I'm sure not sure if there are franchises outside LA, but they're all over the state.</strong>Best franchise sit down dinner? <strong>Hard one. I think I like Picadilly's best though. I love the hell out of cafeteria food every now and then. I guess that's not really sit down huh?</strong> What does your FI do for work? <strong>He's a network security consultant. Fancy name for a professional hacker.</strong> Are you both FROM Baton Rouge? <strong>Nope, we're both from different parts of LA.</strong> How did you meet? <strong>I dated one of his friends in college for like three years.</strong>  Farthest from home you've been?<strong>Mexico, I think.</strong>  You guys taking a honeymoon? <strong>We are. Going to Key West and drink like Ernest Hemingway for a few days.</strong>You have 30 minutes.
    You just made my morning :) I'm ashamed to admit I've always wanted a Mandy poll. Thanks!

    It really is awesome. The cool thing about it is that these two guys were going to LSU and taking a business class. They had to create a business model for the class, and they ended up putting it into action. They've been around close to 20 years I think. Sadly, I got a stomach bug after eating Cane's (not from eating it, just coincidentally after) and I can no longer eat Cane's sauce. The chicken is still amazing though.

  • Aw, that sucks.  The sauce is the best part!  I dip everything in it, even the Texas Toast.  I'm drooling, I can't even talk about it anymore.

  • Hey now.  Wasn't I next in line for one of these because I gave you a dead baby joke?  I'm calling shenanigans!

    I just saw a Raising Canes for the first time in Vegas. Next time I'll check it out. I'm very jealous of the questions!!! LOL

    Image and video hosting by TinyPic There's no room for you mommy! Shorry!
  • I want raisin canes!  too bad I'm a vegetarian now. . .

    also very jealous of the Mandy poll. I know I'm a sporadic poster, but I'd love to take one!

  • They should be called Marandomdy Surveys.

  • Raising Cane's is awesome......we have them all over here.  T learned how to make the sauce at home and it's just as good. 

    I hate snakes too - I once spent 20 minutes during a 5 mile race waiting for one to cross a path because I was too scared to jump over it like everyone else.

    I'm glad to know they're all over the place. And speaking of the sauce recipe, it's supposed to thuper thecret. The Cane's close to LSU's campus fired this dude one time, and I guess he was pretty pissed about it because he got sidewalk chalk and wrote the recipe in huge letters all across LSU's quad. It was hilarious.

    And if that had been me in that race, I'd have run the other freakin direction. My mom doesn't even like the word "snake." She calls them bunny rabbits.

  • Raising Cane's kinda looks like Zaxby's (which was started by Georgia Shouthern alums like myself).

    This post led me to text my H that we're eating dinner at the bar tonight because I want a buffalo chicken sammich and fried pickles now. Thanks, guys. Thanks a lot!! (no, really.)
  • I hadn't seen you posting on here yet today Arbs, and I felt like doing one - so I gave LC one since she started a thread sometime today I assumed she was around.

    Plus, I am working on an extra special one for you.  Patience my love.  Patience.
