30 Questions
Posted in Mixed Bag and tagged with Boys, Children, Church, Commercials, Entertainment, Friends, Meme, Name, Reading, Television on May 25, 20091. Where was the very last place you went besides your house?
Church, where I had a lot of fun playing with a bunch of preteen girls. I’m going to miss those girls.
2. What are you doing tonight?
Chillaxing in front of the TV…does that make me seem more real? See, I don’t spend all my free time in books.
3. Who last texted you?
Jen.
4. Do you have a secret that you’ve never told anyone?
Yes.
5. Do you get mad easily?
Not really, but sometimes if I’m stressed.
6. Do you talk about your feelings or hide them?
HIDE. But I have done better in recent years of processing them through journaling.
7. Do you prefer warm or cold weather?
Give me 100-degree dry heat any day over 32 and snowy.
8. Who was the last person you were in a car with?
Jen, going to Blockbuster.
9. What color are your eyes?
They once were described as poopy brown but a particularly unkind guy friend. They are pretty light for brown eyes, with speaks of green and yellow in them.
10. Have you ever given up on someone but then went back to them later?
Oh yeah, story of my high school relationships.
11. Have you ever thrown your cell phone in anger?
Nah, I’m not really one to throw/punch/kick. I DO clench up and tear up.
12. Has anyone told you a secret lately that you aren’t allowed to tell anyone?
A few preteens, haha.
13. Honestly, if you could go back six months and change something, would you?
I can’t think of anything, so no.
14. Are you wearing any clothes that don’t belong to you?
Nope.
15. Do you have a lot on your mind at the moment?
Not really. As far as seasons of life go, I’m in a pretty stable one. Of course, that could change any day.
16. What side of the bed do you sleep on?
I have a twin, and believe it or not, I prefer it. I like to always be touching at least one edge of the bed. It’s not like I’m going to be inviting anyone into my bed anytime soon, anyway.
17. What is your favorite thing to shop for?
Books. Or maybe shoes. Hmm, I would love a big shopping spree at a book/shoe store.
18. Who knows you better than you know yourself?
There’s a few people that might, I’m not sure.
19. What are you doing this summer?
Nothing different. No trips at all planned, due to lack of cash and vacation days (saving them up for November). I do plan on keeping up the building of good habits that I’ve been trying to do lately. And watch SYTYCD. It’s really the only show that I’ll watch that you have a hard time missing a week on.
20. Do you miss your past?
I’ve liked every stage of life I’ve been in, each one more than the last.
21. Did you ever have tea parties when you were younger?
Not really, though I did have a ceramic tea set that sat on my nightstand for years.
22. What is your favorite line from a movie?
If I were to cheat, it would be part of the Ocean’s 11 Danny/Tess conversation, but if we’re talking about one line, I’d have to say the Pirates quote I mentioned the other day, “She’s safe, just like I promised. She’s all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we’re all men of our word, really. Except Elizabeth, who is in fact, a woman.” I don’t know what it is about it.
23. Would you rather be the opposite sex?
Boys are yucky.
24. What would you never name one of your children?
If it weren’t for Gone with the Wind, I think Scarlet would be a neat name, but I’d hate her to turn out to be a spoiled brat. If it weren’t for a high school boyfriend, I would love the name Grant. So yeah, not those names.
25. What is the coolest restaurant you’ve ever been to?
I don’t know about cool, as I don’t tend to like fancier places. My favorite restaurant though, is a steakhouse in Kansas called Timberline. Their salads, cheese fries, honey mustard, and mashed potatoes are the best I’ve ever had.
26. Where do you go when you want to get a really good sub sandwich?
If I’m going for a good sub, I prefer Quizno’s, but I frequent Subway because they’re cheaper and healthier (at least what I get).
27. What style of house would you like to live in?
I don’t know the names of the style, but ideally it would have a garden, a good sized living area, and a library.
28. Do you flip the channel when commercials come on?
Rarely. I don’t like to watch commercials though (I still think commercials can’t be healthy), so I’m usually doing something else.
29. Have you seen any of the Saw movies?
Have I ever seen any horror movie? Yeah right. Just today, someone scared me by walking around the side of the building while I was watering my flowers.
30. What was your favorite book as a child?
I’m not sure about favorite, but I really like the Boxcar Children, the Betsy books, and the Babysitter’s Club books.

I’m a pretty calm person as well. Maybe that’s why they have me teach anger management to teenagers!

oh too funny. I have to say that I love the shoe/book store idea. and i can’t believe any guy would be so horrible as to describe your eyes a “poopy brown”!!! oh – wait – we’re talking about high school boys…so, er, um… yes, I can imagine. Afterall – one told me mine were Bovine-like… Nice. I’ve always wanted to be compared to a cow. Thanks a heap, Coyote Ugly. And funny, you mentioned Scarlet. I never would had ever thought of that name. Then last month a little girl came over to play with my daughter. Her name is Scarlet. they just moved to the states from New Zealand, and she has the most adorable accent. So – now – thankfully, when I think of Scarlet, I think of her and NOT Scarlet O’Hara… Good post! thanks for sharing!

Very cool! I actually found out a lot about you I didn’t know! I loved the Boxcar children books, Nancy Drew, and the Little House on the Prairie series. I miss simple books like that. Now all I read are nonfiction for the most part.

Sure enjoyed learning more about you… I’m a bookstore gal, too!

I’m all about the library in the house thing. I’m getting close to achieving my dream – well, a start anyways! Next month I move to Texas!

I can’t believe you threw down a chillaxin. I thought I was the only one who kept that old skool dialog. LOL
