It’s lunchtime on Friday, and I hope you’ve all taken time to reflect on the pieces of your inner life that fill you with the most effervescence. It’s those bubbles of light in our souls that keep us afloat when life capsizes the canoe of our spirit. I want you to take a moment – either literally or figuratively – and put it in your pocket to cherish.
We’ll be including a special empowering message with each lunchtime poll, I hope they bring you as much inner joy as they’re going to bring me.
I, for one, welcome our new financially flush Oprahlords. Netflix accepts neither monopoly money nor cat hair as payment. In the spirit of our new owners, and because of the strongly worded memo I received this morning, today’s lunchtime poll is Oprah-centric. I was given two options, and because I’m such a team player (Team Oprah!) I’m passing them both on to you.
1. What do you like best about Oprah?
2. What is the most awesome thing Oprah has done?

1. How she says celebrities’ names. I’ve co-opted it to use on all my friends.
2. The most awesome thing that Oprah has ever done is to be Oprah.
Honestly, I love her attitude of “Bitch, I worked to get here and I’m going to ENJOY it!” I’d like to think that if I were as rich as Oprah, I’d give random stuff out to hundreds of people at a time, too.
What I like best about Oprah is how she’s everybody’s friend. And how she’s almost named after a Bible character. And how she likes the same books I do. (ZOMG)
The most awesome thing Oprah has ever done is this Gif.

That *is* one of the best gifs ever.
Any STFUJ reader knows that I have very discerning tastes when it comes to gifs. As in I hate most of them. But I love that one more than anything.
1) I like that she is so ridiculously excited about things. It’s like watching a toddler play with a huge cardboard box. That amount of joy is a wonder to behold!
2) Reading awareness. They may not be the most intellectually inspiring books, but who cares! Reading = good.
1. That The Oprah continues to exist.
2. Gave birth to The Oprah
The Color Purple. Srsly.
Ooh … good choice. TCP was great and Oprah was fantastic in it.
Of all the wonderful things about Oprah, the thing I like best about her is her fabulous hair. Tell me, how does one get hair so lovely?
did you see when she had Chris Rock on her show to promote Bad Hair, and she let him touch her hair and he went- black women let you touch her hair?! now that is RICH…
OK, well I’m assuming people are going to answer with more serious things like philanthropy and activism, so I’ll just say that I love that Oprah shares my love of sweet potatoes!
Oh, god, sweet potatoes. Best thing in the world.
Normally I’m not for drooling over people like this, but this is OPRAH. The GOD of everything. Oprah is a survivor.
I have a lot of inner effervescence going on today. I think it’s the chilli con carne and pepsi. It just makes my soul sing, you know?
Oprah doesn’t need to do anything to be great. She just has to be, you know?
