I LOVE LAUREN CATRON

And here are the (non-sappy, because obvi the real top ten reasons are because Lauren is fantastic, awwwwwww! :D) top ten reasons why:

10. Everything involving Snowpocalypse. The Paula Deen cupcakes, then frosting eating (typical), the bubbleshooter obsession, the sporcle-ing, and OBVI the Charlie's Angels and P&P watching.
9. This, and this, and this, and this, and especially this (let's discuss her being there for the cutting of the cake...it was not her recital).
8. That time we evaded doing any work during strike for Oklahoma! except erasing scores because we hid behind music stands
7. The Fall 2k8 Chorale skit. OBVIOUSLY.
6. The whistle tones. Ohhhhh the whistle tones.
5. She is the one who truly brought Strawberry Limeade into my life. I am forever indebted.
4. Anything and everything that happened in England. Silent laughter at grounding speeches, commentary on the video to her parents, the Indian man she thought was really tan, I'm so PINGY!, robot Leonardo, her obsession with Andy the bus driver, secretly singing everything in a gospel voice
3. The nostrils. Maybe they actually should be #1.
2. The catchphrases that are irreplaceable in my vocabulary. Fresh, Fresh frust, tino, towno, yowi, praise, never, wreeeeeecked, in real life, ALL abreevs, etc.
1. The Single Ladies dance/music video. How could it not be #1?
