I know, everyone and their little dog is doing this, but things are popular for a reason, eh?
I present to you – the ABC’s of Low… and Behold!
A. Age: 25 – born January 18, 1986
B. Bed size: Queen – it’s the comfiest bed ever. I need a new mattress but I’m scared it won’t be as amazing.
C. Chore you dislike: Vacuuming. I actually don’t even own a working vacuum. My hair is a crazy vacuum-destroying beast, therefore I have to borrow vacuums. Therefore, my carpets are disgusting. Now you know.
D. Dogs: Love them. Want one. My dream breeds are boxer, King Charles Cavelier spaniel and Jack Russel Terrier in that order but I’ll most likely adopt from a shelter when the time is right.
E. Essential start to your day: Hit snooze at least 5 times, curse the world if it’s too early or I didn’t sleep well, put glasses on face, take ear plugs out of ears and hit the bathroom.
F. Favorite color: I don’t have favorite things, it’s too limiting.
G. Gold or silver: Hmmm. I don’t really wear jewelry but if someone offered me either I would accept. As far as colors go, I like both. I really don’t have favorites.
H. Height: 5’2″
I. Instruments you play(ed): Took piano lessons for a brief period, but my piano teacher had spiders in her hair. That didn’t last long. I also played the clarinet in the 5th and 6th grade. Once, I tried to put my clarinet in my necklace so I wouldn’t have to hold it up. It got stuck and we had to stop playing so I could be freed. I was a dork in 5th and 6th grade. Also, I’m clearly not musical.
J. Job title: Proposal Writer/Corporate Communications Specialist (I hate the term specialist, and want it removed from my title.)
K. Kids: None. Not sure if I want them in the future, but if so I hope to adopt and/or become involved with foster care.
L. Live: Oklahoma City for the present but moving to D.C. soon!
M. Mom’s name: Debra.
N. Nicknames: None. It makes me sad.
O. Overnight hospital stays: None. (Knocks on wood.)
P. Pet peeves: Passive aggression. Hypocrisy. People saying they’re ”being good” when it comes to eating. (Disclaimer: sometimes I too am a passive aggressive hypocrite, but it still annoys me.)
Q. Quote from a movie: “I’m in a glass case of emotion!” Anchorman (don’t judge - best movie ever for journalism majors in my opinion.)
R. Righty or lefty: Righty.
S. Siblings: One older, amazingly successful and brilliant brother. And his wife, the SIL, who is my honorary sister.
T. Time you wake up: Between 5:15 and 6:15 on week days depending on my hair situation. Between 8 and 9 on weekends, depending on work and running. I used to sleep in until 11 or so on Saturdays but I have lost that ability. I blame the man.
U. Underwear: I wear them. Except sometimes I don’t, but not in a slutty way. Like in workout clothes with the underwear built in or if I don’t want to run in a thong and don’t want VPL. That’s an awkward topic. But hey, so is gas, and I went there.
V. Vegetables you don’t like: I like all vegetables, but I don’t like mushrooms, although they’re technically not a vegetable. Actually I hate mushrooms and think they should be banned from this Earth. But that’s probably just me.
W. What makes you run late: Oversleeping. I snooze like it’s my job.
X. X-rays you’ve had: One on my left lower leg and the old dental x-rays on the regular.
Y. Yummy food you make: I make a mean sloppy joe. I’m a recipe cooker – give me a recipe and I can probably make a yummy food. I’m also quite prolific at Green Monster blending, egg scrambling, toast slathering and pasta boiling. Be impressed.
Z. Zoo animal favorites: FREE THE ZOO ANIMALS!
Haha, you’re a clever and witty writer – I giggled at all your responses.
I love this! It’s so fun getting to know bloggers
OMG, I could just picture you with your clarinet and neckless – too funny!
I have so many nicknames! My given name is Elizabeth, growing up I went by Beth until a crazy grandma wanted to call me Liz, which turned into Biz – that stuck all the way through high school.
My twin sister and I went to separate colleges, and I thought I would go back to Beth, until the first phone call when my sister asked for Biz, and then it stuck again!
My husband usually calls me Biz, but also Bazey Mae, Bizzy and a co-worker calls me Beef.
Dangit, I love these surveys. I always fall prey to them, so of course I will probably do this, too.
I don’t have a nickname, either, and it definitely makes me sad. I actually get REALLY excited when people call me “Hol” instead of “Holly” though. Hey, it’s better than nothing?
Awww does it mean we can’t be friends anymore b/c I work at the zoo?
I love surveys so much. I used to love the myspace ones! You look way taller than 5’2″. We’re almost the same height! Holla!
Haha of course we can still be friends! I was mostly kidding. I’ve been to the zoo many times. I didn’t know you worked there!

Yippee!
These are so fun! I like your comforter- your room looks very adult and grown up. That’s a weird thing to say but I do like it!
I never would’ve guessed you’re 5’2″. I’m only 5’3″ so I relate to any issues you might have finding pants. Not that you said you had any, but it’s a problem for me so…nevermind. I’m a glasscase of emotions too.
I can never find pants! Ever! I hate getting them altered too because it’s so time consuming and I feel like they always wind up being to short. Gag.
I don’t think I knew you were a shortie like me!!! YAY!
Haha I love your answer to F. I have favorites, but I allow them to change on an almost weekly basis.
Let’s come up with a nickname for you! I’ll admit the first month I read your blog I didn’t know your real name and thought you went by “Lo” or “Low”.
hahaha i was LOLing to your mushroom comment. I love shrooms, but hey to each his own, right?
yay im a shortie too!!! 5’2 baby!
Why don’t you like the term specialist? It sounds important! I recently declared myself the director of social media at my job. That didn’t quite catch on the way i wanted it to! (My actual title is graphic designer, although I am in charge of the social media stuff)
Ugh, do I ever HATE vacuuming. That’s why I made it Joey’s chore
I love to snooze. Its a wonderful and horrible habit.
Fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boo to you for not liking mushrooms
I suppose I can forgive you.
This post was hilarious! Good post-surgery reading
I never would have thought you were 5’2″! I am just an inch shorter!
ok and this may be a stupid question but what is vpl?? I know you didn’t want to go there but I am curious, ha!
