Me in autumn of 2006

7.    What is your favourite take-out place?

Lately it's been  Jet's Pizza.

 I also like Subway, which was where I worked

when I first turned 16.

My orange vest is thrifted.

8.    If you had the chance to change

 your name would you? And what would

you change it to?

Not anymore, because it's part of my

identity.When I was younger, I would have.

 I never could decide on what name I liked best.

9.    What is the wallpaper on your cell-phone/computer?

The wallpaper on  my cell-phone is my nephew Speed Racer.

The wallpaper on my computer is a photo collage of my husband stretching and running on the beach.

Today, when I told my guy my favorite part of his body was his brain.

I said, "What would happen if you got brain damage?
Then you wouldn't be the same.
What would I do?"

He said, "Then you'd find a new part to be your favorite."

Yes, I would.

Vivienne from Thrifted Shift passed on the Liebster blog award to me. Which was very nice of her. She had a set of questions for me to answer so, here goes.   

Me in Winter 2008

1.  10 x 10 =  ___  + 36 

100 + 36  I knew the answer, but I looked it up to just to be safe.

2.  "Twas brillig in the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe." Discuss. 


Ugh!  I had to look this up, because I didn't know

what the ef she was talking about.

 It's the JABBERWOCKY by Lewis Carroll
 I'm pretty sure we had to study it in 10th grade
English class, and I hated it. 

Me same day as above also in 2005

 I do think the  book Through the Looking Glass, is ok.
 It's not my fave book or anything. The man must have

been very creative.  Personally I think he was

 probably on drugs, but I didn't see anything that

 confirmed that.

I'm wearing the same blouse as in 2008.

3. What is your favorite outdoor activity? 

Um, watching a concert, but I don't know if that qualifies as an activity, so I say rollerblading and bike riding.
Although, NOT in the heat of a Texas Summer.



4. Define irony.  

My life. I looked this up too. Irony is a contradiction of saying one thing that means the exact opposite.

Like, if I said, I make the best grilled cheese sandwiches. Then I actually burn one, and have to scrape the black burnt stuff off, in order to eat it.

5. Favorite junk food? 

Finally an easy one. Cheetos

6. Water or wine? Choose and defend.

Always water. I don't really like to drink alcohol.
I can act like an @$$ pretty well on my own, without it.   ;)
 I'm the one at the party that everyone thinks is drunk,
 when all I've had to drink is water.

You all know, I'm not at all shy.  

7. Is Puget Sound saltwater or freshwater? 

I had to look up what Puget Sound is because I

 knew it wasn't the sound of someone punching the

 pudgy part of my stomach.

 
Puget Sound is a sound made in water in a section of the Washington sea. So, based on that, I would say saltwater.

However, knowing Vivienne, I bet it's a trick question, and the real answer is probably both freshwater and salt water.

8. Do you like Tetris?

No, I do not like Tetris. I've never been into video games. I'd rather read, write, do art, play the guitar, connect with people, play a card game, board game, or watch TV.

9. If you just made yourself the perfect sandwich, set it on the coffee table, got yourself a beverage, and you came back to an empty plate and a very happy looking dog, would you be mad? 

I would be sooo darn mad! Probably because it took a lot of work for me to make that sandwich, and I'm not sure the food would be appropriate for a dog to eat.

I wouldn't want the dog to get sick.

10. What's under your bed? 

Hopefully nothing, but I'm fairly certain dust.
 Although, I'm too lazy to check.

11. Why do "flammable" and "inflammable" mean the same thing?

I didn't know they did. I looked that up too.

My answer is the English language doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Dude those questions were tough.

That felt like a school assignment.  
I'm gonna break the rules,
 and not pass the award onto anyone.

Therefore keeping the torturing down to a minimum.  ;) (Vivienne I'm joking).
