I don't usually do these... but it took me SO long to think up answers that I think I'd better just post.

The Friday Five
Gacked from Hermione

1. What food do you like that most people hate?
Brussel sprouts- yum!!!
Pretty much all those icky veggies, though... lima beans, spinich, sprouts, you name them, I love 'em

2. What food do you hate that most people love?
Pork chops, especially, make me feel sick to just imagine the taste
(but you can throw in chicken, turkey, cow, pig, sheep, etc. and Banana/yellow peppers *ick*)

3. What famous person, whom many people may find attractive, is most unappealing to you?
So hard... I find people attractive for SO many different reasons. Can I say Charlton Heston? Do people find him attractive? I've got no idea.

4. What famous person, whom many people may find unappealing, do you find attractive?
So hard, also... Oh! The men on the Caps hockey team. All big and tough and bruised and toothless *huggles* So sexy...
Oh... and I think Joe Pantoliano's wonderfully sexy but I don't bet most people'd agree. I don't know, though.

5. What popular trend baffles you?
LifeGems. WHAT THE HECK?!!!! I dunno if that's really a "popular" trend, but it's the first that popped into my mind so I'm sticking with it.

I'd never heard of jersey dresses, actually. Looked them up. WHF?!!! What are people thinking? LMAO! Is this for, like, formal sporting occasions like award ceremonies? LOL! How very weird!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Silly question - what's a lifegem?

[tarotgal]

LOL!
They've been all over the news... er... ABC at least... and local news. Ew. It freaks me out. Basically, instead of burying or cremating a loved one, you can put them through this process where all of the carbon in their body is used to create a gem. And then you can make that into a ring or a bracelet and wear your loved one as an accessory. Creeps me out, totally. Yes, the idea of having something of the person with you so you can remember them is nice. But making their body into a bracelt? That is creepy. It's like stuffing your pet so they can sit on the mantle or at the dinner table with you. I just... whoa... I know, it's a nice idea in theory, but I can't imagine wearing my mother as a pendant or something. That's just... whoa... disrespectful. I mean, what if you drop the ring down the drain or something? GAH! I'm sorry, this whole idea. Like I said, I'm BAFFLED by it!!!

[girlwithtulips.livejournal.com]

Oh, ewwww, that's just wrong!!! On so many levels! LMAO at dropping them down the drain! What if you're short of cash and have to pawn something? Is it meant to be some short of family heirloom? What if in fifty years everyone forgets that the pretty ring in the drawer is actually Great-Grandmother? It's creepy. And disrespectful. And just wrong. *shudder*

[tarotgal]

*wiping tears of laughter from eyes* Ohhh, I'm sorry. I know, this is a horrible thing. But your comments- WAY too funny! What if they forget it's great grandmother.. oh man... half of my family's Irish Catholic- I think they forget who they're burying half the time because they're drinking, let alone where they buried them three or four generations from now. I don't want to think about how terrible it would be if my family was entrusted with jewelry like that... LMAO

Yeah... it really is wrong. But then again, I didn't really understand when that trend of freeze-drying pets came about either. You could pose them in neat positions like dogs going for a stick, etc. And then put them in your living room so your pet is with you always. But this jewelry thing goes beyond all my logic...

I did a simple search on Yahoo to get(among many others)-

Not to mention that the process is TRES expensive!
I just... I'm baffled by it, is all!
