Some Top Fives

Top Five Worst Dates I've Been On in Provo:
1. Miniature Golf. I hate it.
2. Going on a walk around campus
3. Going to a BYU dance and then to a park
4. A date my freshman year that I ended up having to pay for
5. A blind date with a guy who just wanted to go on an hour long walk and then drive up the canyon to talk some more. And I'm pretty sure his name was Bucky. No joke.
*Note: All of these dates occured ATLEAST a year ago. Recently I haven't even had any dates to think negatively about.

Top Five OCD Things That I do:
1. Organize my closet by color AND sleeve length. Yep. Oh and my shoes are organized by type (ie: heels, wedges, sneakers, flats, etc.)
2. Alphabetize everything - books, movies, magazines, etc.
3. I have a ritual for almost everything I eat. For instance... I can't eat the middles of most things. It grosses me out.
4. I have a ritual for showering. I'll spare you the details.
5. Sometimes I'll realize that I'm using my index finger to trace the outline of my thumbnail, and I count how many times it goes around. Once I didn't realize I was doing it until I was on the 46th lap.
*6. (Added Jan 10th) A friend reminded me of one more: When it comes to numbers, I have to do everything in incriments of five. (It's actually driving me crazy that there is now six in this list in stead of five, but I don't have time to go all the way to ten so I'll just deal with it.)

Top Five Ridiculous Provo Trends:
1. Motorcycles
2. Mega dates
3. Popped collars.
4. Double popped collars with pink and green polo shirts.
5. NCMO's
6. Miniskirts and leggings at church. (Also, I saw today, a girl just omitting the miniskirt altogether and wearing just a shirt and leggings.)
7. Going to the temple to make out
8. Woops... I went over didn't I?? My bad...

Organizing by color AND by sleeve length...that cracks me up. I had no idea people went to the temple to make out. Provo is perhaps strangest place on earth. Is going to Salt Lake to hear an orchestra considered a mega date?

I've never seen a more accurate summation of Provo's stupid trends. Congratulations.

I admit I have no clue what a Mega Date or a Popper Collar is. So, at least because of that I won't be subjecting anyone to such trends, eh?

Why can't you eat the middles?

I can't have the TV/radio volume be on an odd number. I wonder why things like that get to us.
