stuff that is lamespice...

It's that time again, folks.

The time where I offend at least someone because I despise something they love :)

Without further ado...




1. Pride and Prejudice...the "new one".

Oh my goodness. Why did everyone and their dog love this movie? I heard everyone raving and throwing about their arms saying "praaaaaaaise Kiera Knightley....praise the Pride and Prejudice!" and I was like, "Hmm...sounds like it must be aight." Naturally I put off watching it for like 2 years. After being chastised multiple times by my friend to see it, I did. And I was like, "Umm seriously?"

*eye roll*



Let's stick with the BBC version, mmmmkay?

Hi Colin Firth...you ARE Mr. Darcy.

Can I get an "Ammmmmmmmmen"?





2. Soda

I used to love me some soda. In fact, the night I had my first kiss I had been drinking Vanilla Pepsi from QuikTrip. Whenever I smell it, I remember that awkward night with Ted, haha! Anyway...I gave up soda my junior year of high school, and I haven't looked back. I hate the stuff. And it has so many worthless calories! Drink Water. Srsly.





3. Uggs...in Arizona.

Now, I don't think they are completely hideous. I believe they could be made into a cute cute outfit, HOWEVER. If I see another girl wear them in Arizona, I will throw my flip flop at them. I wear flip flops in the dead of winter. Want to know why? It's like 90 degrees in December.

Stop acting like we live in Santa's village.






4. Chick-Fil-A

I LOVE that they are closed on Sundays. I love that they have great discounts if you dress up like a cowboy (true story) and I LOVE their advertisements. So naturally, I am depressed that their food isn't very good. And when I say "not very good"...I mean I hate it.




5. Dogs without leashes

I am not really a fan on dogs. I like little tiny dogs that you can mistake for a dust bunny. Those are cute....mostly because I like any sort of bunny, haha. But other than that, I see them as things that have wet sloppy tongues, that don't smell good...and that lick their special places. Having said that, dogs don't really bother me UNLESS they are unleashed. My poor little 82 year old grandma was riding her bike, and a big dog ran and attacked her, biting through her leg. Umm hi...if you have a dog, make sure it is secured.

Dogs without leashes=lamespice.

5.



6. John freakin Mayer.

Ugh. I just don't get it.

I will take Mason Jennings, Ruru and Jimmy Eat World any day.

kthanxbyyyyye!

John Mayer

I seriously love knowing that I am not the only person who doesn't like things! Wicked, Chick-fil-A, John Mayer, Pride and Prejudice (although the soundtrack to that is so pretty!) Happy happy day to know I'm not the only one. You rock. :)

Brenn said...

ps, I definitely want to hear this awkward Ted story :) you guys are so cute

Jami said...

You seriously crack me up!
1. I love the music in the 2nd PP movie. I have never watched the first one...maybe that is why I love the 2nd?

2. I didn't like UGG boots, till I watched this season of the bachelorette. Jillian bugs me...but she does make UGG boots look super cute!

you are so funny! I love your balls!

Robinn said...

1. Have never seen or read Pride & Prejudice but the BBC version looks like the better of the two, at least costume wise. I like me some Colin Firth (hey, I'm old).
2. Sodas - you're so right and I'm so addicted. Maybe I could switch to energy drinks instead ... KIDDING! I know I could drop some serious poundage if I stopped drinking cokes!!
3. Uggs - they wear them here in Albuquerque. We do get a snowstorm or two in the winter but other than that, put those bad boys away and stop wearing them with shorts, girlfriends (not you of course, Lauren. You have taste!).
4. Chik-Fil-A is gross. The End. I don't see the attraction. People are still very excited about it here.
5. Dogs without leashes - especially big dogs. I agree with you!! I'm a cat person myself so I don't get the dog thing anyway.
6. John Mayer - he's UGLY!! And he writes lamespice songs. That stupid "Gravity" one stinks, stanks, stunks but sometimes the stupid tune gets stuck in my head. Grrrr.

Clint & Alicia McLaws said...

Lauren-you're amazing :) and we seem to have lots in common...at least when it comes to stuff we dislike :p

I...hate the new PP. don't understand why everyone is obsessed with it.

I...do love me a good Coke. BUT I'm trying to give it up! the headaches might be the end of me. Anyways, soda is so bad! I'm addicted to the crystal light juices :)

I...hate Uggs. period. especially in Arizona.

I...HATE chick-fil-a. Their food is SO bland!!! It has absolutely no flavor to it. If I'm gonna spend that much on food, I want it to have a taste! Costa Vida for the win! :p

I...am not a huge fan of dogs.

I...could do without John Mayer. he's pretty irritating.

Amanda said...

I have to agree with you on pretty much everything here.. though I have to say I do love me some Chick-Fil-A :P

Lyndsay said...

K how can you not love John Mayer? His music is amazing, seriously, Im not just talking about the stuff that is on the radio if you listen to the other music on his albums its so fab! I agree with you on the soda and I have never seen pride and prejudice of any version so I cant say much there.

Lauren said...

Ha ha! Lauren you are killing me.
Ok ok ok.. let me stop laughing..

1. Kiera Knightly is way over rated. Did you see Pirates 3.. yuck!
I haven't seen the BBC version yet.. I know I know, I can't believe it either. Maybe I'll go to the library and rent it today!

2. Amen to kickin the soda. I am a milk fan through and through. I drink milk with my cereal.

3. You forgot to mention that the girls wearing those Uggs are usually wearing teeny tiny skirts. Hello.. where did that style come from?

4. Ha ha. I've never eaten there but the cow makes me laugh!

5. OOps.. sorry. My dog doesn't even have a collar. He just runs around the farm.

6. He dated Jessica Simpson.. nuff said.

Thanks for the funny post. I never get sick of hearing your views on stuff!

Shayla said...

Still haven't seen the new Pride & Prejudice, I am far too loyal to the BBC version, now I know not to ever waste my time seeing it... thanks!

Totally with you on the soda! Don't drink it. Oh, I do enjoy a nice root beer float once a summer, otherwise I stick to my water & strawberry lemonade Crystal Light.

PS. I'm moving back to Mesa NEXT WEEK! Holla!

Marissa said...

"Stop acting like we live in Santa's village."

bahahahaha!!

Bekah said...

LOVE Pride & prejudice.
chicl-fil-a is the only kind of chicken I WILL eat (chicken for the veggie)

diet coke doesn't' have calories!

Brett and Em Randall said...

wow i love seeing girls in their friggin Ugg boots and mini skirts in an arizona winter.... kind of defeats the purpose of the friggin boots! makes me laugh!!

~Michelle~ said...

totally agree about the Uggs - they are also unnecessary in SoCal, where the temps never dip below the 60s...

but you really need to try Chick-Fil-A in the south - it's a whole different experience. I also love they are closed on Sundays...just like I love how In N Out hides Bible verses on their drink cups!

{Jamie} said...

Several things...COLIN FIRTH IS SO SEXY WHEN HE COMES WALKING OUT OF THE POND!!! CAN I GET AN AMENNNN?!!!!! So I totally agree with you on P&P!!! I also HATE chick-fil-a! I too agree that they suck! I also don't like soda, john mayer or dogs really so I pretty much LOVED this lame post!!! I think we could be friends if I lived in AZ but my sister lives there! Look her up! :)

Smarty Pants said...

As a lover of all things P&P I was seriously disappointed with the Knightly version of the tale. I could not stop staring at her giant chin! Gag!

Animals of all kinds are yucky and belong outside and not in peoples homes.

The only thing good about John Mayor is when Jimmy Fallon spoofed him on SNL. So funny!

My brain knows diet coke is bad but my soul loves it soooo much ;)

Chris and Gina said...

I COMPLETELY agree with the "new" Pride and Prejudice thing. I'd like to go one step further and say that Kiera Knightley herself is on my list of lamespiceness. Why does she always talk through her teeth? Does she have lockjaw or something?

P.S. Anne Hathaway is also on my list...how dare they compare her to Ms. Hepburn...

That is all.

Kristina P. said...

So, of course the older P&P is more awesomer. But I was completely surprised not to hate the new one, because let's face it. Kiera Knightly is way lamespice.

I actually do think that John Mayer is talented, but boy, he's an a-hole.

Chris and Gina said...

oh, that wasn't all. John Mayer = mediocre music. Also: how does he walk upright with such a cranium?

Jenny said...

Lauren you make me laugh! I do have to disagree with you about Chick-fil-a... Its the bestest! I could eat it everyday! The best part about it is the Ice Dream! YUMO!

Cherie said...

Lauren - So sad - We cannot be friends today! So sorry!

We can be friends tomorrow tho!! :D

Mormishmom said...

1. Agree.
2. Totally agree that pop is lame, but I'm totally addicted. However, I'm on my way to sobriety.
3. Agree.
4. We adore Chick Fil A. Yummy. And we did dress as cows. http://awesomefamilyfun.blogspot.com/2009/07/i-almost-forgot.html
And I'd appreciate your vote. Tell your friends!
5. Agree.
6. Agree. We always make fun of the Wonderland song. Sicko.

Alisha said...

So, I actually do like the new Pride and Prejudice but it does not even compare to the A&E version, which is the one with Colin Firth (I tried to watch the BBC version and I can't stand it).

John Mayer - hate him.

Ugg boots, Arizona or otherwise - hate them more.

Soda - hate it, especially diet. Gross.

Chick-Fil-A - love it.

And I'm indifferent about dogs and leashes. I actually hate big furry dogs that leave hair and poo all over peoples houses.

Jen said...

1. Amen! Uggh, hated this version and could not believe how many people LOVED it! Colin Firth is MR. Darcy!
2.Yes! I hate to sound prideful but I am pretty thin and let me tell you one of the biggest ways I keep it up is No Soda! I heart water, drink like a gallon a day.
3. Agree, they are not for AZ-but I think they are cute.
4. I think Chick Fil A is alright.
5. I'll admit it, I get nervous around dogs. So I totally agree-keep them on a leash!
6.LOve Jimmy Eat World!!! John Mayer is alright, but nothin special.

Kacie said...

Ok so I hated P&P. Really wasn't a fan, but I still think Kiera Knightley is gorgeous. And I can not STAND John Mayer. His music makes me nauscous. And I do not think he is cute one bit. However I love Ugg's. I where them all the time in winter. And if you dont think it is cold anywhere in Arizona think again. Cause I live in Snowflake where it snows from October to April. They may not be the cutest things I have ever seen but I like them and am a fan! :)

Jessica Marie said...

I must admit at first I didn't like the new Pride & Prejudice. I was partial to the old one. But the new one gets better each time I watch it. And it's a good way to get a P&P fix without wasting 5 hours of my life. And would my husband EVER sit down and watch the 5 hour version with me for even 2 minutes? Heck no. But he loves the new one and watches it with me all the time. BAM! :)
And I'm SO GLAD you dislike John Mayer. Nice to know I wouldn't be the only one in the 'I can't stand John Mayer' club.

Meghan O said...

I can't really disagree with any of these. Except maybe John Mayer. I'm not a huge fan of his, but I like some of his music. Never seen Pride and Prejudice, not a fan of soda, I live in MA so Uggs are alright, what in the world is Chick-Fil-A, and big dogs are grossssss. LOL nice post again Lauren!

Ann Marie said...

Lauren- Amen!
Holy Moly we are twinners in almost everything said here! Seriously!!! I am amazed!

Chick Fil A and KFC make me have to find a bathroom fast. Even if they taste OK.. I pay after.

I like some of Meyer's music, but he is yucky. Have you ever seen him perform? His facial expressions are HILARIOUS!

Twinners today girl! :)

tharker said...

You and I are on the same page with Pride & Predjudice. A & E is the only way to go! Plus, I cannot stand all that nasty short hair that keeps popping out of Keira Knightley's wig. Whoever was her hairstylist for that movie should have been fired!

Pop. Sometimes I love it, other times I can't stand it.

Don't like John Mayer.

Never worn Uggs. I too think they're cute, but I agree with you. No one in AZ has a reason to wear them!

Dogs without leashes bug me, but even worse than that is owners who allow their dogs to poop on your lawn and then don't even bother to clean it up! Grrrr!!!

Jill said...

I like that you write about things you think are lamespice, and admit to probably offend somebody because you despise something they love! ....It's basically what I did with the scarf post. I came out and admitted that it was a style I despise despite its huge popularity. So I'm sorry if it offended you. It's basically what you are doing here! ( I read that you took the scarf post down because of comments of people not liking it)

ok on to your stuffs..

1. Never watched either movie.

2. I drink at least a can of diet soda daily. Nothing wrong with it, if it's done in moderation.

3. I hate uggs just as much as people wearing scarves here in the almost 100 degree Louisiana heat. You look like idiots people!

4. I absolutely LOVE CHIC fi la.
I love what they stand for:

* closed on sundays
*I love their deals.
*I love the fact that every year we look forward to "cow appreciation day", when the kids and I get supplies to make cow costumes and we and the hubby goes for supper dressed like cows. Fun times!
*I love the fact that its a healthier alternative to mcd's.
*I love that in their kid's meals they give books and educational materials instead of pure junk!
I think their food is awesome!!

5. I think doggies should have leashes. I agree.
But I would also like to add that I lovee dogs and cats. All animals. Infact in most cases I'd prefer a dog or cat to most people in this world. They have pure hearts and souls. And yes, regardless what people might think...I think they have souls. When I look my animals in the eyes and could see the love and worry in them, I know without a doubt that my animals will be there waiting for me when I go. :) If there's a heaven without animals. It wouldn't be my heaven. :)

6. I don't like John Mayer either. I don't see the draw.
I do love J.E.W. So many good songs!

Haylee Abney said...

hahah you never fail to make me laugh. I agree with you 100% about dogs, Pride and Prejudice, and Uggs in AZ. I'm also one to wear flip flops in winter. it's not worth it to wear them for 9 out of 12 months and just for 3 months, suddenly stop wearing them because it's "cold". So I will be right along with you throwin my flip flops at the poser valley girls! haha...but it makes me sad you don't like chick-fil-a, it's like the only fast food place I kinda like...and john mayer- i like his music/voice but as a celebrity, he is just annoying.

Andi said...

I also DO NOT love John Mayer, and being somewhat of a purist, I think that the BBC P&P is the only way to go! (Have you seen the Briget Jones movies, or read the books? Sort of raunchy, but really funny! The connection there is that I think they are loosely based on the works of Jane Austen, and Colin Firth plays Marc Darcy in the movies)
FYI - I am leaving your blog open right now because I am lovin this playlist! :)

Lauren Curleyhair said...

john mayer for sure. I was listening to his cd, and his lyrics are so selfish. he's a true douche bag. and his music isnt that great too.

anyways. did you still wanna do that photo shoot? I saw like 5 billion people ask you to take photos of them, and i feel bad! if your too busy you don't have to.I mean it would be fun. but if theres like a million poeple asking to do it, i dont wanna push you over the edge!
anyways. Your great. dont stop being great, because your greatness is much appreciated!:)

Jill said...

Aww. :( Just hope I wasn't one of the ten. -
I said the scarf looked good on u. I just didn't like the look myself. So I hope u don't think that was to intentionally hurt u. Because it honestly wasn't :( I was giving my opinion on the thing in general. Sighh :(

heidi lou said...

John Meyer makes me want to slit my wrists. no lie. and so does every single version of Pride and Prejudice EVER made. gag me.

heidi lou said...

oh, and what really annoys me is when girls wear short shorts with tank tops, and uggs. you see it in UT ALL the time. What the. aren't your ankles hot?!

derrickadee said...

John Mayer needs to stop. FOREVER. NO MORE.

LOOK AT THAT STUPID FREAKING PICTURE OF HIM! You just opened a can of suppressed rage, Lauren lol.

Melissa said...

I never saw Pride and Prejudice and never wanted to. And, Uggs are hideous!

Lindsey Layton said...

I'm with you on not drinking soda! And I hate dos without leashes. I hate dogs with leashes too actually...

Chelsea said...

My best friend is absolutely OBSESSED with John Mayer... probably loves him as much as you love your Edward. However, I don't get why he is such a big deal! It is nice to finally hear that at least one other person in the world is not a fan of him!

Jami said...

Colin Firth is the embodiment of Mr. Darcy, but I have found myself *kind of* enjoying the newer version. I think it's ambitious to try to cram a large novel into a two hour film. I don't dislike it, but it's not my favorite thing in the whole wide world. I love the 1995 one so much, though! My husband even watches it with me. :) I love walking into our bedroom and seeing 1995 P&P on! It makes my heart smile.

I agree with you on your other points, too, though I cannot part with my Diet coke. ;)
I never understand the snow boots in the middle of the summer. I don't think that's so much a trend here anymore. I can definitely understand the agitation of seeing people wear those in warmer climates. I sometimes get the same way about people wearing scarves with tank tops...

*ramble ramble* Your entries are so fun!

Uptown Girl said...

AMEN! I hated the Kiera Knightly P&P and i <3 the Colin Firth one with all my heart.

amen to everything else too. I mean, i do like big dogs better than the ferret variety, but def on leashes! i was bit on the leg too and it left me dog-hating for a few years til I met a dog i couldn't help but love.

sorry about your grammy, that sounds horrific. Like the Never Ending Story dog thing.

*Becky* said...

I agree with you on most of everything. I haven't seen the new pride and prejudice, but the older one is fantastic and Colin Firth is definitely Mr. Darcy!!
I like soda every now and then for a little flavor in my life. H20 is the way to go though, esp in this summer heat, which brings me to the ugggly boots! Oh my gosh those are ridiculous! Esp is az. john mayer is gay. chik-fil-a is okay. I do like doggies! not those yappy ones though. I want to kick them

Jenni said...

These posts you do are rather funny. Couldn't agree more on the Uggs issue (although I don't think they are cute at all). But must disagree on the John Mayer fact. It is a personal preference, of coarse, but this man is more of an artist than any of the others you named! I adore people with musical talent so I think his guitar skills are amazing.

Britney Jean said...

hmmm...i love these posts lauren! you make me laugh so hard. seriously. even when i disagree with you...you have me laughing and making fun of myself for liking the things you think are lamespice. For instance, I love uggs...but i agree. i think i wear them twice the whole year. the two days it MAYBE gets a bit chilly here. And I LOVE dogs and my hubby and i are beginning to puppy search. But, dogs without leashes = no good.

Erica said...

Yay I can agree with the majority of this post!

1. Can I be obnoxious and declare 'as a holder of a degree in english' I adore Pride and Prejudice. I hated it when it was force fed to me but now adore it to pieces. The movie, I don't have too much of a problem with it. But I do enjoy the BBC version better! I think it sticks to the story more. :)

2. The only time I drink soda is at work because it's for free. And even then, I drink one cup (for energy if I have to work until 11) and no more because it messes with my stomach. Usually one cup can mess with my stomach too, I have to drink Sprite or Mountain Dew to avoid an IBS attack.

3. I don't own uggs, but if I did, I'd wear them in winter when we get ice storms and like -15 wind chills. But I despise seeing girls wear them in the summer time around here when it's like 90. It's stupid and it makes the wearer look like an idiot.

4. I love everything you mentioned about Chick-Fil-A and their food ISN'T that good. Although one thing is: their waffle fries. I love their waffle fries. It's the only place I can get them around here!

5. I only like dogs that don't bark or jump. I get scared otherwise. So unleashed dogs severely freak me out.

6. John Mayer's songs suck. I'm sorry. Although he wrote a blog entry about Michael Jackson and the general response to his death which I was very impressed by. I think he'd make a better news reporter then creater of song.

Okay I'm slinking back to listening to the "Finding Neverland" soundtrack. :D

Knot said...

I hate web sites that have music that starts automatically.

Busy Bee Lauren said...

Knot - haha! Funny thing is, I was considering removing the music player for the last couple days, but your comment changed me mind :) I have been known to do the exact opposite when someone suggests something. Ask my mom...I got that trait from her, haha.

jori-o said...

teehee! I LOVE your lamespice lists!

Danielle said...

ha- whoever knot is....mmmmm- how much effort is it to push pause? Yikes.

I love the A&E version of pride and prejudice but I also LOVE the new pride and prejudice. I don't know that I love one over the other. I really just appreciate them both. The new one is so pretty...the filming and everything.....

Uggs. I live in Idaho, and pretty much...if it weren't for these kinds of boots I think my toes would fall off in February. But..if I lived in AZ or CA...I'd be all over the flip flops.

Dogs with out leashes. Hm. Yeah- my dad...whenever dogs would come in our backyard without leashes or owners, he'd go grab the hose and spray them until they left. hahah. Some owners are really disrespectful...thinking everyone loves to be jumped on by their dog.

John Mayer is boring. That's all.

amanda leeann said...

1. haven't seen the old one...am still trying to get through the book. i'm horrible. i know.

2. diet coke is the elixir of life...too bad it's killing me slowly. i really am trying to get off the stuff.

3. santa's villgae = me lol-ing.
i would also wear flops in the dead of winter if my toes wouldn't freeze off.

4. love the stuff. the end.

5. i'm so sorry about your grandma! that's horrid. i agree...dogs should be leashed.

6. he's not attractive. i think i like 5 of his songs. that may be pushing it.

thanks for stopping by my blog the other day!

Sasha Liz said...

I agree with you wholeheartedly that Colin Firth is Mr. Darcy. Not this other "wimpy guy" in the remake (My mom says he is "wimpy" in comparison). Viva la BBC version! ;)

Soda is a bad habit! They make you addicted to it- with combos at restaurants and drive-thrus and such. I'm currently loving Dr. Pepper. Help!

Uggs. omg no.

Chick-fil-a is waffle fry central and that is why I love it!

Dogs without leashes can be scary, yeah.

I'm split on the John Mayer. I actually wrote a post about the good and bad of John Mayer if anyone's interested: http://bit.ly/ihRUG haha

Nick &amp; Kristin said...

Ammmmmmmmmmmmmen!to Colin Firth, but I seriously love the new PP. It's just too good.

uggs are yucky. I bet any girl wearing them in AZ has nasty stinky balls of sweat for feet

ok for me, not just big dogs without leashes, but BIG dogs in general. they scare me. I don't think it's smart to get friendly with a creature that can over power me in seconds. That's why I'm not friends with any lions. and that dog in the picture looks bigger than "the beast"

Sasha Liz said...

Wait, that linked to a candy blog. LOL @ ME.

Here is my "piece" on John Mayer
http://bit.ly/mPXE2

SRY!

Stacey said...

1. Never cared for either movie. If I made a list on my blog of stuff I don't like and everyone else loves,it would be P&P.

2. Must disagree here. I love me some soda. I used to be all about the DP then I switched to DietDP. Once in awhile I have to have a Pepsi. I LOVES IT! It's one of my vices.

3. Ditto..never liked that trend anywhere.

4. I haven't eaten at Chick-Fil-A since I was a teenager so no comment.

5. Agree! My kids freak out enough if a dog is on a leash,let alone if it's wandering around.

6. DITTO,DITTO,DITTO!

Joanne said...

1. Watched the movie because of all the hype and i hated it...

2. Hate soda but i have to drink it while working at the hospital or i cant last the 12 hour shifts.lol

3. Uggz are comfy but def. not for summer...

4. I only eat chick-fil-a waffle fries..love themm

5. Im TERRIFIED of dogs, saw my brother get attacked by a big dog when i was small, i'm scarred for life

6. john mayer's music is aiight.

Nancy Face said...

1. AMEN! The only thing I liked about the newer Pride and Prejudice was the soundtrack! I LOVE Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy, and the 5 hours it takes to watch that version is totally worth it! :)

2. I am IN LOVE with Dr. Pepper, but I drink water instead because it's about a million times healthier. BUMMER.

3. Uggs in the Arizona desert are FOOLISH!

4. I love Chick-Fil-A's advertising and all the other good stuff you mentioned...but would you believe I've NEVER tried their food? True story.

5. I absolutely DESPISE dogs that are allowed to run loose! Yep, my mom was viciously attacked by a dog, and I was attacked by a neighbor's dog and bitten multiple times as a child. Just a few months ago, Kris Face and I encountered an angry, growling pit bull when we were out running. We really thought we might get eaten, but we yelled at it until it finally ran away.

P.S. Dogs running free on the farm are a different story...they probably aren't eating the neighbors! ;)

6. Who's John Mayer anyway? I love Josh Groban and Michael Buble!

Nancy Face said...

I love that you're such a rebel! Oh, yeah...because you remind me of ME!

HIGH FIVE!

RatalieNose said...

OH how I LOVE these posts!!!
K I agree with
1. dogs!!! a freaking men!!
2. John mayer!! your body is a wonderland! who freaking cares???
That's a dirty stupid song!!!
Jack Johnson all the way!!

Tina said...

i can totes agree with 1,3,5, and 6! i seriously believe that like half the ppl that "like" mayer only like him cause the other half do.

Tia said...

Yes! To all of these!

Nyssa said...

Well, since I have never seen the BBC pride and prejudice I will have to say that I could watch the Kiera Knightly one every weekend for the rest of my life. Whoever Darcy is in that one is SOOO good looking. Way better than Colin Firth. Kiera Knightly is okay in it, but only okay. I agree with you on everything else though!

Katie said...

AH! I couldn't even finish reading this post before hopping to the comment button. Partially because I agreed SO DANG MUCH and partially because I missed your blog a whole lot while I was out of town and it's nice to read your voice again. That made sense, go with it. ;)

Ok but yes I do not get the Kiera craze OR the love of the new P&P. I am exactly the same. Give me Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy any day. Quality.

I will probably post another comment after I actually finish your post.

Katie said...

Hm and now I have to disagree about dogs. Well, no, I agree they should be leashed but I LOVE dogs. Actually, recently I've figured out I don't really love dogs, I just love MY dogs. And I don't like sissy little dogs. I loved my darling golden who I could cuddle (she died of cancer...sadspice big time).

Everything else in this post...AMEN.

Alexa Mae said...

Omgosh Lar. you crack me up. John mayer bugs me too. Love some of his songs tho. Your poor grandma. Maybe you can go hunt that dog down and kick him with a nice pair of UGGs! haha

Caroline said...

1. i think i fell asleep through that. it was boring. and i couldnt stop thinking of bride & prejudice. which is much better in my opinion

2. ill drink it at a friends house or if we have some but im good with just juice and water

3. ive never liked uggs so moving on

4. its not my favy but my sister loves it and i love their waffle fries and lemonade( i was totally cravin some after reading your post)

5. i used to be sooooo scared of dogs. and when my family decided to get one i DID not want a big one. but they did. and they won. so anyways the day the lady came to bring the dog she decided not to put her on a leash. and i was terrified. but now i love my dog. so its all good(:

6. never liked him, never will

I love dogs!! I also totally agree that they should be on leashes. They should also NOT be allowed to poop or pee on someone else property. It just grates my nerves to clean up after someone elses dog. I have enough dogs to clean up after.

So now I must ask:
Who is John freakin' Mayer?
Who would wear Uggs in Arizona?
Did you belch in front of Ted that awkward night?

And then add:
I never saw P&P and don't plan to.
I rarely drink soda cause it doesn't like me, but I used to drink it a lot. Now I LOVE ice water. The colder the better.
I don't eat at Chick-fil-a. I do think the cows are more funny.

valentine said...

*groan* i HATED the new p&p. such a waste of time, i will take the 6 hr BBC version any day!

i love all the women at work who "diet" but never seem to lose weight. um, might it be all the coke you drink ALL. DAY. LONG?


john mayer= pumpkin head. nuff said.

Bryce and Bree said...

Hm...I must admit I am an ugg boot owner...BUT, I lived in Idaho so it's all good. Right? Hate dogs. Bryce has been trying to talk me in to getting this little fat English Bulldog or something, he said it never barks and dies of a heart attack at an early age. I don't believe him for a second. And, John Mayer has a sexy voice. "Ain't no thang!" Am I allowed to say that after that sentence?

Ps...I had this great idea that when I get home, we should do a craft day like once a month (or more often, whatev) and invite a bunch of girls and do a new project each time. Wouldn't that be fun?

Alicia said...

We are twins!! I knew it!! I could have written this list, except for "soda" (which we here in the evergreen state call "pop") which I am totally and completely addicted to. I despise the non-A&E P&P, I think anyone who would wear fleece boots in AZ is ridiculous, I've never eaten at a Chick-Fil-A but it doesn't sound appetizing, I can't stand dogs and I detest John Mayer. Twinners!

Thorny Tree Lady said...

It took me hours to get past the first one...Mmmmmmmmm Mr. Darcy! Colin = Mr. Darcy. Clive Owen is too angry and yucky.

Then I moved on to the rest. ITA on most - but your friend ~Michelle~ is right. CFA in the South is a totally different experience. Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, or Virginia CFA is 10 thousand times better than anywhere else. I won't eat there in Utah, just when I'm in the South.

Jadyn said...

1. Disagree. Well, this Pride and Prejudice was the first one I ever saw so... naturally I LOVED it!!!!
2. AGREE! YES! I'm sooo glad that it's not just me who despises soda! It burns and I swear that I can feel my teeth getting cavities after I take a swig.
3. Nuetral. Never tried it. Never really seen it. I've seen them on television and they're cute but...
4. Half and Half. I love that they sell cheap fruit cups, and their chicken strips, but I think their Lemon-Aid tases like pee and their sandwiches are a bit... slippery with grease.
5. Agree! I love dogs but there is nothing that I hate more than when people don't keep them on leashes. It's a criminal offense! It's not safe! It's stupid! Don't do it!
6. Disagree. Sorry, I love my John Mayer. He's ugly, and a jerk, but his voice is sooo lovely!

Mormishmom said...

P.S. I ate Chick Fil A tonight and thought of you. hee, hee

Natalie said...

1) not a pride and prejudice fan--oldschool or newschool. nexxxt.

2) agreed. i love me some dihydrogen oxide.

3) pfft bff az gets likkke 32 degrees in the winter!!11! ha. walking across asu while it's still dark in the morning=me sportin' some mad uggage.

4) their ice cream is good. but their food is sick-le-ick. the last time i went there it was infested with bugs. and we're not talking ten or twenty..

5) not a dog fan. unless they're made out of fabric and stuffed with cotton.

6)EWWWW okay THANK YOU. do not like john mayer. not a jack johnson fan, either. however, im an obsessive-compulsive lydia-copeland-themaine fan.

<3

Emma said...

Mmmm...Colin Firth...yum. He is my celebrity opt-out. (Do you and Ted have a list of opt-outs? Probably not...you two are all cutey and stuff. But my hubs and I do for fun, and you can bet Mr. Firth on my list!)

I love me some carbonation now and then, but I usually drink juice. I am not a fan of water--it doesn't taste like anything!

Uggs are dumb-looking in all weather. I am a Utah girl now, and I only wear stiletto boots (even in blizzards!) That might be a dumb idea, but I look goooood!

I like Chik-Fil-A. Sorry! I miss it a lot! I had a friend who was allergic to peanut oil so she could never ever have chick-fil-a chicken. I cried for her.

I hate dogs without leashes. First of all, Hello! Isn't it illegal? So I pretty much don't need another reason.

I had a thing for John Mayer in Junior High...but I was 13 okay?

The end! Love the lists!

P.S. I was thinking maybe you could post a Step-By-Step-No-Fail-Easy-Laureny-Do-It-Yourself-Project. Like how to make a flowery headband or how to arrange a little shelf of knickknacks or cook something or paint a frame all nifty. I'm just not as cool as you, and I'd love to learn how to be a little more Laureny. :)

Brooke said...

I stopped drinking soda my freshman year of high school. Best thing that ever happened to me. It makes me feel bloated and gross.

John Mayer is a panzy. He looks ridiculous next to all his celeb girlfriends. Did I mention is songs are panzy'ish too? Ugh.

I have a 1 lb maltese snow ball. If she's not the cutest thing to you, you'll love the fact that she never sheds. Big dogs = no bueno

Chick-Fil-A = I think I just vomited in my mouth a little

UGGs - make women's feet look oddly familar with Big Foot. It is the least flattering item to legs and feet. Did I mention that I didn't even wear a coat this past summer because it was so bloody hot here in Mesatown.

BUT, you have one thing, oh-so-wrong.... P&P is beautiful. It sends a great message to women to lower their standards, but hold out for a man that exceeds your set standards.

P.S. WE WON THE VAMPIRE BASEBALL MOVIE CONTEST - to watch and meet the twilight cast and for ourmovie to premiere at the make-a-wish baseball game with the cast. Thanks for almost posting it :)

amen on P&P, NO ONE will ever take CF's place. he IS mr. darcy.

i do love chick's nuggets with poly sauce. the rest of the menu can take a walk though.

Clint &amp; Alicia McLaws said...

I thought of you today Lauren...I got to work today, and was walking to the back to clock in...and I was walking behind a girl wearing super short shorts and ugg boots!!! Is it bad that I wanted to trip her?? lol

neffie said...

Finally someone else that hates the new PP. I'm always being chastised for not liking it, I love the BBC version. I'm all for new takes on PP like the Bollywood Bride and Prejudice but I could not stand the new one and I let my friends know my opinion on it even if they think I'm wrong.

Soda dehydrates you, so water is the ultimate drink especially on hot sunny days.

Rachel said...

I've gotta agree with mostly everything... except Chick Fila! :P

Bella said...

1. Srsly? I loved this version of Pride and Prejudice! That soundtrack! Keira! Those beautiful decors! And did I mention the soundtrack?
2. Agree
3. Belgium's always cold, I should get me a pair of those.
4. I'm a vegetarian, so I agree.
5. Agree
6. What? What what what? I love John Mayer! How can you not love John Mayer? Allrightie then, de gustibus et coloribus non disputandum (I quote Latin proverbs, cuz I knows lotsoffstuff, hihi.)

Shukti said...

I've cut back drastically on soda and it's making me vair proud of myself. [:
And over here in London, I think everyone wears their Uggs at any opportunity. o.o.
I get that it's cold for the majority of the year, but when it suddenly gets baking DO NOT WEAR THEM FLUFFBOOTS WITH YR SHORTS AND SUNGLASSES. kthx.

Bella said...

By the way, here's proof that I wasn't lying about liking John Mayer: I had a post just a few days ago about the celebrity men I'm into, and he's on the top of my list! Check it out if you want proof: http://notanaddikt.blogspot.com/2009/07/you-are-bellas-kind-of-man.html

Hoping you don't think I'm too annoying & still loving your blog despite our difference in taste,
your devoted fan,
Bella

Jennifer said...

Oh Lauren, you had me until you got to John. My love for JM runs deep and long. I can totally understand you not liking him as a person, but as a musician he is hard to deny. I adore him, in a non-cheesy "omg John Mayer" kind of way. I saw him in concert for the first time 7-8 years ago before the teenager found him. I will work on a blog about reasons to love John and see if I can't win you back...

Jenn with Two N's said...

This post was all about the things from GA that are super awesome. You're just jealous. haha (chick-fil-a and john mayer).

I am just excited that there are Chick-Fil-A's out west now!! It used to be if you went above the Mason-Dixon line, no Chick-Fil-A for you my friend, and then you were confused because in your head you were saying 'wait, is it Sunday?' haha

Valley Girl said...

oh my gosh i totally agree... they are all "lamespice"
1st. john mayer... have you ever seen a girl look happy while hes dating them???? NUFF SAID.
2.my dog escapes quite frequently without his leash... but he is a tiny rat of a dog. So in my book he his ok. Scary about your Grandma...hope she is ok.
3.Chic fillet...food=lamespice milk shakes=heaven.
4. uggs... why don't those girls take advantage of the beautiful weather to show of some polished piggies.
5. I hate soda too! always have always will.
6. AMMMMMMEN!!!!

Emily said...

1. I love Pride and Predjudice the first one is better, but i like the 2nd one.
2. I have always not like soda, it just makes my stomach feel sick, although I do have rootbeer when I eat pizza it just tastes good togehter.
3. Wow people are weird to wear uggs when it is so hott outside. I love mine to wear only when it is like cold outside.
4. I haven't been to chick-fil-a sine I was like 4, although I remember loving the fry's so I have no idea.
5. I think it deffenetly depends on the dog. I have a big dog who thinks it is a little fluff ball of a dog and does not run after people it pretty much stays next to me whenever we are out.
6. I don't know who Johm Mayer is....sorry...probably is not that good if I have never heard of if.

uhski said...

I played along again only this time I opposited it. Yes I said opposited. It's now a word.

LOVELOVELOVE everything you wrote.

cept sometimes I crave me a Vanilly coke with real vanilly syrup in it. Otherwise, I'm with you on the H2O drinking!!!!

hillishilarity said...

OOoo - loved this post.

I don't do Ughs as I live in FL and it's too flipping hot - but my little kids do (in the WINTER tyvm) and they are super cute. But they only get to wear them maybe 5 times a year max.

I hate the new Pride and Prejudice and think the book is so much better than either movie.

I don't check boys out anymore - I am too old. So I don't know whose hot or not.

Uhhhh - Oh - I LOVE Diet Dr. Pepper, so I cannot twinner with you there which brings me to Chick-fil-A as they have DDP and they also have the VERY BEST Southwest Salad with the most amazing dressing. mmmmmm (The rest of it is OK, but that salad is much better than other fast food salads.)

;)

Michelle and Dan said...

Not a big fan of Keira Knightly, Never have, Never will. But oh my gosh! That soundtrack!!! It's mind blowing! Listen to the music more then the dialog, close your eyes! It's magnificent!

And mmmmmmmm... Matthew Macfadyen's voice, just makes me melt every time!!! holy hottness! (New Darcy)

And yes, Colin Firth, SO HOT! Watch Briget Jones Diary, so cute in that one.

Peace

Jenn said...

I will confess to having a pair of UGGS...but I live in PA where it gets COLD from November to March...hence I only wear them during those months. I cannot STAND seeing girls wearing them with hoochie-shorts and tank tops in the middle of summer! And yes...John freakin Mayer. I don't get it, either. :)

Tori :) said...

Ok- no empty calories in Diet DP... so... yeah.

And I love me some Chick Fil A. And since I'm always right, this would make you wrong. Although I totally agree about John Mayer... ;)

Lula! said...

AMEN AMEN and AMEN!!!

Collin Firth is Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. Till the end of time. And again I say, "AMEN!"


You know how I feel about my Co-Cola in a bottle.

I love my Uggs. LOVE them. When it's below 32 degrees, ONLY. Amen.

I love Chick-Fil-A. Their diet lemonade is the only diet drink I'll imbibe.

I don't like dogs. At all. Kitties forever!

John Mayer is a d-bag. But I love him. Go listen to "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room." It's THE sexiest song ever. I have it on a playlist...you know which one...

I love you. When I visit you in AZ, we will not eat at Chick, drink Coke, or listen to John Mayer. But we WILL watch Rear Window & The Goonies, listen to Mason Jennings, and eat at Costa Vida.

The end.

J and L Palmer said...

ok bree, i better be invited to this craft day once a month! and i love soda! it's not an addiction. i know i can quit. for my new year's rosolution this year i went a whole month without soda! i could have kept going, not biggy really, i just love the taste! and dogs... i hate all animals, but i promised john when we got a house he could get a dog.. that time is so close! i'm depressed!

J and L Palmer said...

ok i love other people's comments and how they think they can express there opinion on what they think you should do to your blog!... especially withought you asking! knot.. not a fan of music automatically playing on people's blogs either, but a lot of people do it and a lot of people like it, so do yourself a favor and mute your computer!... and get over it

Jayci said...

your poor grandma!! :oO And yes. John Mayer is WEIRD, and ugly, and his music makes me want to kick a brick wall without shoes on just so I can concentrate on my pain rather than the music. Yep. It's that bad.. I agree. I didn't like Chick Filet for A VERY long time.. then Mark made me try the 'right' thing - the non grilled sandwich, and it was alright. But yea, it's not THAT great. but their fries are pretty yummy, I think. :P haha "Stop acting like we live in Santa's Village" - HA! Lauren. Luv it.

alyssabender1 said...

Sigh. I absolutely love that version of Pride and Prejudice. It's my favorite movie of all time. I saw it before I saw the BBC version, and honestly the BBC version was really boring :-\. Some parts were good, but others just draggggged.
But that's ok :) I will still love your blog anyway :)

alyssabender1 said...

I meant A&E, not BBC. Sowwy.

Suzanne said...

I TOTALLY agree about John Mayer and the newer version of P&P. I'll pass, please... :)

Molly said...

CHIK-FIL-A FOOD SUCKS!
You are the only other person I have seen who hates it too.
The only thing I like there are the peach smoothies. It's worth nasty chicken to get one of those lil ( or huge ) babies!

Abbey said...

H A T E hate John Mayer! He needs to get over himself already!

Ashley said...

Hi. So i'm not offended in the slightest but I disagree on a few things:

1. I like the new Pride and Prejudice because I really like that Mr. Darcy and I really like Keira Knightly. But I also havent seen the BBC version so who knows? Maybe I would like it better.

2. I agree/disagree with the soda. I'm very weird about how I drink my soda. For instance if it's not clear (aka only sprite and mountain dew for me) I will not drink it. I also will only drink sprite from a cup not from the bottle. And when I drink Mountain dew I have to squeeze the bottle 3 times before I take a sip...yeah its weird. But who cares? Yeah but I've also given it up so anyway..

3. I'm all for Uggs...in like Alaska or the North not in the South or in the Summer anywhere. Mkthanks.

4. I LOVE DOGS..almost all animals really but they should also all be on leashes if they are outside of their own lawn.

5.Chik-Fil-A is sick.

6. I like John Mayer's Music...his non politcal songs..but he is full of himself and not at all attractive. But his music is still good to me.

Ok im done! Great Post!

Camille said...

OK, I just looked up some of John Mayer's other songs. EWW! I do like the song "Daughters" though.

Everything else, I couldn't agree more! (Especially Chick-Fil-A!)

Love your blog!

Hannahkin said...

hahaha! if anyone else said all this to me, i'd raise my eyebrows and walk away. like, AWAY away. you know i love me some John Mayer, so let's not get into that... and Coke is my addiction... and i heart the new P&P muchly. but this made me laugh so much!!! :)
