Loathe List

It's that feeling you get when you're casually watching The Food Network and realize how much the word "moist" bothers you. Or when you're dining at a restaurant and suddenly get this overwhelming hatred for the unknown couple next to you who has chosen to sit on the same side of the table. Well, this is what me and Lauren like to call the "loathe list." Anyone who knows me knows I have an ongoing list that I keep on my computer and add to when I feel necessary, with frequent contributions from Lauren. It's progressed quite a bit from it's original birth place on the back of our door at the Castilian, but here it is... Feel free to contribute though know that list-worthy items hold high expectations...

2. Referring to getting together as "playing" 

3. Croc-wearing families 

4. Descriptive adjectives for recipes and/or food dishes 

5. Sexual jokes that end in, "That's what she said..."

Welcome to Cristina and Lauren's Blog!

Ok, soo we are new to this, but it definitely was time for the two of us to start publicly voicing opinions on our obscure daily thoughts. Everything is fair game in our book... Cheesewagons, Subway employees, Reverend Camden, Dugongs, Hatchbacks... there really are no limits. The Deeds and Lucas rhode (explanation later) has been long... and there is no end in sight. From the days of sexual predator volleyball coaches and striped knee length socks, to our freshmen adventures at, dare we say it, The Castilian (yes, that is the dormitory that sits above the modest Kismet Cafe)... it sure has been quite a ride! Please enjoy.
