Can You Pass the Facebook Challenge?

I found this on my good friend Bex's page and I'm ashamed to admit that I'm NOT ashamed to be Facebook obsessed. I'm not as bad as I used to be but it passes the time. I really like outlets like Facebook and Myspace simply because I love to know what's going on with people without having to talk to them. Honestly I'm really not social as much as I am nosy. I like Facebook because it allows me to channel my curiousity without the hassel of small talk. Let's see how you fare:

10 warning signs that you may be addicted to Facebook
1. Facebook is your home page.

(I've thought about it but have settled on GOOGLE because I can do a lot more "curious" researching)
2. You update your status more than twice a day.

(It keeps you on the news feed rotation)
3. You have over 500 "friends" half of whom you've never actually met.

(My rule is that I have to have met them once.... or b/c I'm the Institute liason.Current friends: 489)
4. As soon as you step away from your computer you're on FB on your phone.

(Carlo and Woody have banned me from their IPhone)
5. You are a FB stalker. You qualify as a FB stalker if you

(My mott:Don't put your biz-naaz out there if you don't want people to access it)
a) click on someones profile more than once a day even if they haven't messaged or tagged you in a photo.
b) have dragged and dropped more than 3 FB photos (not from your own profile)
c) actually go to a place mentioned on someone's page in hopes of seeing them in real life...creepy!

(I've never done this BUT I do check if people clicked "attending" on events to decide if I want to go or not)
6. You change your profile picture more than a 12-year=old girl.

(I love pictures of myself. What can I say?)
7. You have checked your FB page while reading this article.

(It's always pulled up just in case)
8. You clean up your "wall" so it looks like you spend less time on FB.

(ehhh I don't care)
9. You are a member of more than 10 groups and respond to every event invitation "attending" even if you have no intention of going.

(Actually I believe clicking "attending" is a form of commitment so I rarely do it. I hate when people do it and don't show up)
10. You change your relationship status just to mess with people.

(OK once as a joke but I didn't realize how seriously people took it. The few other times were changed by friends who hacked my account as a joke. I had to send out a few weird apologies to guys so they wouldn't think I was a weirdo. Thanks Woody and Sara.)

A Very UnLinda Post

I'm not much of a sports fan but I do like to keep up with what's going on. With Super Bowl XLIII(43) I was kinda excited because the Arizona Cardinals were actually playing. It's not because I lived in Arizona for a year and a half. Honestly, I didn't much care for them when I was there except that I learned a lot about them. I just really like that they are probably the ultimate underdog. No one was betting on them to even make the playoffs. Their quarterback, Kurt Warner, is pretty old by sport players definition but he came on this year and took them all the way. It's even cooler cause Matt Leinart, who came to quarterback the Cards 2 years ago as like the best pick, Heisman trophy winner, golden boy who was supposed to do it but sure didn't. Maybe he should have practiced more instead of knocking up chicks and partying with Britney Spears. I like him, I even feel bad for him but dude, he didn't do his job. I think they won 2 games that season. Their head coach left (or got fired cause they had such high hopes). I think they also got a few other really good first draft players and they still sucked.

Then this year, they changed a few things and bam, they are in their first Super Bowl ever. I think they have only ever played in one playoff like in the 60's.Fitzgerald (running back?) and Warner make such a great team. Not as good as Montana and Rice or Young and Rice but hey only time will tell. Anyways, I just really like the story of achievement and that anything can happen. A never Super Bowl team going against the Steelers who are up to become the reining Super Bowl Champs. It's like David and Goliath, except in this one Goliath won. So many people were against the Cards. They really played an outstanding game. Even though they lost, I think they garnered respect as a team that really gave the Steelers a run. I do have to give it to the Steelers though cause they played a great game. James Harrison made like this crazy 100 yard dash to score a touchdown then he needed an oxygen mask cause he's a defensive player who isn't a runner. It was crazy and all within about 18 secs to half time. Crazy. Fitzgerald's' face for the Cards last touchdown was priceless and they almost tasted victory taking a 3 point lead. It was an amazing feeling until Steelers made another really cool touchdown that almost wasn't. The replay was insane based on whether or not his foot was inside the line before it touched the ground.

Anyways, it was a great game. It had 2 great stories and lots of suspense throughout. They played everything down to the seconds and had many highlights. Honestly though I couldn't take the ups and downs of sports. There is a reason besides boredom that keeps me aways. I was so ancient and the thought of the team your rooting for losing really sucks. This is probably the most sports like I will be unless the 49ers ever make it to the Super Bowl again. They can't let the Steelers have the most wins. Maybe their new coach is what was needed to turn the team back to the team they should be. I'll be into the NBA if the Suns or Kings ever make it to the championship. I love the Kings but I think it's a long shot. At least the Suns have a chance at the playoffs. I can't even get started on Steve Nash.

Anyways here are some highlights and next year Cardinals. It'll be your turn for that ring.

The Human Body

Very late Sunday night, my friend D.K. and I went to the UT Health Science Center to look at cadavers. Why you might ask? Cause I've never really touched a dead body before. He's in medical school and was talking about how interesting the human body is based on the cadavers they are learning on. I said that I would love to see and that's how this crazy idea was born. So it's 10:30 on Sunday night and we sneak in the class. Technically I'm not supposed to be there but... no one was there that night. I have to admit, once the body rose from the formaldehyde, I was starting to rethink the whole idea. It just took awhile for me to calm down. It really helped that D.K. has absolutely no qualms about handling the body. He showed me the human anatomy and it's very interesting to see how simple yet complex the body is. It makes me rethink cutting up whole chicken. It was weird to see a severed leg. Just one of the reasons why I didn't become a doctor, mortician, detective or anything that involves dead bodies.

The smell of formaldehyde was overbearing. Eventually I mustered up the courage to touch the heart, kidney, hand and muscles. Very weird. It also left the smell of formaldehyde on my hands forever. The hardest part was going to an empty home. My roommate chose a very bad time to go on vacation. Since it was now past midnight, my imagination started to creep up on me. I couldn't take the smell of my fingers anymore so I sprinkled bleach on my hands. It stinks also but at least it doesn't make me think of dead bodies. I didn't have a nightmare that night but I did last night. I had to think about the gospel a lot to get me through the night. It was quite an experience.

Romantic Heros

Since I've rediscovered my love of Anne of Green Gables, I've started thinking about all those romantic leading men that every girl crushes on. They are the men that every girl uses as the bases of her ideal man. Let's see if you agree and please let me know who you would want to add.


Tall, smart and handsome Gilbert Blithe.








Mr Darcy is the epitome of that arrogant, moody, wealthy, unapologetic but oh so desirable. Every girl can see his true loving self deep inside waiting to pour out for that "one" person.





















Legolas: unfailing loyalty, heroic nature, protector of the meek. He out shined royalty.














Ok, this was very highschool of me. Angel, the forbidden bad boy. Every girl wishes she will be the one to reform that one guy.
















Love that endures the test of times.



The boy next door that you can take home to mom.











Sweet Home Alabama makes you realize the root of who you are and who your first love is.


Who doesn't want their Prince to rescue them?

Asian + Rice = Bliss

My amazing roommate made me this lovely gift for christmas. We have lived together for over a year now so she knows most of my habits. It is a very fitting gift.

My latest obsession

Words cannot express how this movie has shaped my life. Enjoy
