On this date in 1836, Sam Houston was elected as the first president of the Republic of Texas. Eleven years later on this day, Jesse James was born. If you thought of other people when I mentioned those names, well, I don’t know why you’re reading this. Time for the friday5.org Friday Five.

1. What’s your favorite orange-colored food?
Oranges. Yes, I know how boring I am.

2. What’s the best way to drink orange juice?
Out of a glass? Seriously, do they want me to say something about drinking it out of an orifice of an attractive person or something?

3. Which candy’s orange-colored pieces taste best?
These days I have to say Reese’s Pieces, although this question reminded me of how much I miss Starburst. Stupid gelatin.

4. What are your feelings about orange soda?
It’s good when you’ve got a sore throat because the acid soothes your throat, and I’ll drink it if there’s nothing else available, but I’m not too hot on it. Now I remember how much I miss McDonalds’ orange soda. Gee, this week’s five is depressing me.

5. When did you last wear an orange item of clothing?
The only orange piece of clothing I own is the free t-shirt I won at Sparkpeople.com, which I wore maybe three or four weeks ago. My memory’s kind of fuzzy on that.
