helenorvanaFriday Five for 9/7/12: Sports!
What is your favorite sport to watch?
It depends on if we're talking normal sports or sports I only watch during the Olympics. Normal? (American) Football. Everything else just seems too slow-moving. (Yes, I realize the hypocrisy in saying that when an hour-long game takes three hours to play, but I love the commentary, shut up.) Olympic-wise? In the summer it's gymnastics, and in the winter the ice-skating.
What is your favorite sport to play?
I've done pretty much everything there is to do in soccer. I've played, I've refereed, I've even helped coach. (I was terrible at it: never put me in charge of people.)
Favorite sports team?
New Orleans Saints. I first got into football while they were the reining Superbowl champions. Plus I just liked their story. Honorary mention to Seattle Seahawks (closest I've got to a home team).
Favorite sports player?
Right now, gonna go with Gabby Douglas. Rock on, you magnificent lady.
Why do you enjoy watching/playing your favorite sport?
It's a new way to hang out with my dad, an uneasy sort of common ground with my brother-in-law, and fascinating to watch.
Friday Five for 9/21/12: Cell phones!
When did you get your first cell phone?
Erm....sometime either freshman or sophomore year of high school? We needed them to coordinate rides and such.
Do you have any special ring tones, if so what are they?
Closest I get is my main ringtone, which is the Sherlock theme a la music box.
Does your phone have a camera?
Yes, which makes grocery shopping convenient. "You are being terribly specific and I won't remember: let me take a picture so I'll recognize it when I see it!"
What kind of phone do you have now?
Android Sidekick. I wanted the keyboard, since I hate touch-screen keypads.
What carrier do you use?
We're on T-Mobile right now, I think?
