Ok - do you like your orange juice with or without pulp? This must be a very serious question if I've actually taken the time to write it up in my blog. But really. I've been seriously drinking orange juice for the past 2 1/2 months and I *still* can't decide if I'm a pulp or non-pulp person.
Pulp is too much. No pulp is too little. Medium pulp is just a weird texture. I'm like the snobby Goldilocks of orange juice. Would someone please make me the perfect OJ cuz that'd be just great *thankyouverymuch*.
I was reading Marua's site this morning and she talked about things that are / were her favorites and how, in general, people get defined by their favorites. And I started thinking that maybe she has a point. I mean, how many times have you gone somewhere and had someone ask you 'What you do for a living?' Which totally cracks me up - as if anyone can judge me by my fucking job. It's only a job!!! Which is made even funnier cuz how often do I talk about my job around here? Um, yeah. That's what I thought. On the other hand, if you asked my work colleagues they'd probably tell you that my job *is* my life. Sometimes it feels like a double identity but this is just me.
Then I started thinking about some of my favorites...
Tori Amos is my favorite musician. Klimt's 'The Kiss' is my favorite painting. Doisneau's 'The Kiss' is my favorite photograph. The Nikon D70 is my favorite camera. 1600x1200 is my favorite resolution. 'The Mists of Avalon' is my favorite book. The everything bagel is my favorite bagel. Jalapeno cream cheese is my favorite bagel spread. Big Bowl's kung pao chicken noodles is my favorite kung pao. The Tourist Guide is my favorite tourist guide. Web design is my favorite career move. Stockholm is my favorite big city. And while you might think pink is my favorite color (shocking, I know) you'd probably be wrong. Because overall I think that wine is my favorite color. A deep, beautiful, warm red. It's not a color I use very often and I don't even decorate with it, but damn it's classy when it's used well. And using the phrase 'on the other hand' is one of my favorite ways to hum and haw.
I'unno. I don't think my favorites define me... but they're definitely colorful, rotating facets.
Go on then. Tell me some of your favorites.

Anything involving water ...
you know my favorites involve listening to a really good radio morning show in the morning, taking a really good nap in the afternoon. you know like the 2 hour, I get up when I feel like it, drool on the pillow, cool breeze through the window only to be completely refreshed and not drousy all day nap.......and of course Jen is my favorite.
Great post and I think you are right as well as Maura, no one can define me by anything. As uppity that people think I am I'm very simple at heart. My favourite color is actually Cerulean...most people don't know that.
