Ok, here are the questions Kiya gave me. I'm the next in the game of the questions, lol.
1. If money and family were no object, what would you go back to college for and why, including how advanced of a degree you want?
Of course I would go back! I have been wanting to go back for quite some time now, and not just because I think it would be fun (but I do). But I think it would be useful because I would be able to take classes that would help me teach my daughter better, and if anything ever happened to my main squeeze, we'd have a good back up. :) Hopefully once Natalia starts real school (say first grade), I'll be able to begin taking a few classes again. Now as for what I would go back for - if I could pick anything? I'd do probably 3 or 4 things. One, I'd go to a culinary school and become a pastry chef. Two, I'd go to a regular university and get a BA in Art (like pottery), and three, I'd get a MAT in History OR early education. Now picking between these would be very difficult and if I had unlimited resources and time, I wouldn't have to pick, but since I have neither, I'm gonna have to decide between the art and teacher. Now I could always be an art teacher and combine the two, I've thought of that, but I think if I teach, I would prefer teaching elementary school (around 3rd grade). I don't know which one would be more fun and I don't know what I'll do yet since I can't do any of them yet. Someday I will go back though and get some kind of bachelor's degree (since I do have an associates). :)
2. Have you ever broken the law, and if so to what extent?
Umm, I think speeding is about the extent of my law breaking. I guess if I've EVER broken the law, I got drunk once when I was 18 (so underage drinking). That would be breaking the law. As well, I've bought alcohol for my friends when I was 21 and they were not yet (like a couple of months away from 21) - but I didn't drink any, lol. I've only been drunk once, and that was when I was 18. Oh, I stole some stuff a couple of times (I guess that is worse than speeding). Back when I was about 14 me and some friends stole some junk from target and got caught, lol. And another time (and this one I am even less proud of)I stole a bunch of stuff from the bookstore I was working at because it was soo flipping easy and the temptation was too great. I was the only one working there for my whole shift, so one day, I had my friend come in and take whatever she wanted, as well, I had put some stuff aside for myself for her to take when she got there. Ya, that was probably the worst one I've done. The sad thing is I was an adult when this happened, I believe I was 22. Since then though I have not done anything like that (although I've had plenty of opportunity if I was so inclined). Stealing is wrong! And I feel bad for what I did, so there.
3. If you could get rid of one family member, including in-laws (as if they had never existed), who would it be and why?
Ooo, this is a good one, and perhaps sad that I didn't even have to think about who I'd make non-existent. Can you guess? No, not Liz, but my brother Greg. And I would pick him for several reasons - very good reasons I think. One, he is a sociopath and would rob you blind if he felt so inclined. He would do anything to anyone if he thought it would benefit him. He molested myself and my sister growing up (I have never told any family member about this btw, not my parents or my other brothers. My sister and I have talked about it though, and have agreed that it would do no good to inform the rest of the family. No one would believe us, or they would say something stupid like it wasn't a big deal, etc. Maybe it wasn't that big of a deal, it wasn't like he raped us, but I know what he did, and I know that it isn't normal - none of my other brothers did that kind of stuff to us, and as an adult it is easy to look back at that stuff and realize what was going on although as a kid I had no idea). He keeps having children with various women and doing nothing to take care of them. He stole my car (ok, that one is not the best reason). He was very mean to me as a kid. Etc. etc. And I just plain don't like him, that might be mean on my part, but I have a hard time caring.
4. Given what you know now and the friends that you have made, looking back to when you transferred to McNary from North, would you have preferred to stay at North, or are you glad you went to McNary? Include details when giving your decision.
I can say that my life would have been a lot different if I had gone to North instead. If I had never had to go to McNary, I would have been with my friends who were getting drunk and getting in fights at school, some who were sleeping around. Would I have done these things too? I cannot say. Would I have stayed friends with these people if we had gone to the same school? Perhaps, Jenn and I have stayed friends even though we did not go to the same high school, so I would imagine that we would have been friends still. If I could go back and change that, I would not. I would stay at McNary. I had a rough time there as it was, the first year was very difficult for me since I didn't know anyone and didn't really want to. But after I met Danielle, it wasn't so bad, as well Geoff was probably my first friend at McNary and he was so nice to me, I couldn't continue being anti-social, him and Matt wouldn't let me, lol. Matt moved away that summer, as did Danielle, but Danielle introduced me to Tia, who became one of my best friends. Then I met some crazy chick in Choir who got assigned to be my folder partner for the rest of the time we were in Choir (the next few years) and we became friends as well. And she became friends with Tia, and so on. I really had a good time there my junior year, and part of sophomore year (but not when Geoff died, that was rough). I didn't try as well as I should have with my grades, but overall, I had an enjoyable high school experience, and I wouldn't trade what I had, except to maybe not finish early senior year. That was dumb. :(
5. What is the absolutely worst fight you have ever been in with your husband? Remember the details!
Ahh, we've been in some good ones, lol. I can't think of particulars though, or what we were fighting over, but I do remember the one where Tyler got so mad he punched the wall. That was a good one. He made a hole in it and I was soo ticked at him at that point I wanted to punch him too, so I left and went somewhere for a few hours. I have no idea what we were fighting over, but he has a hard time controlling his temper. He has never hit me or Natalia. And he only hit the wall once, lol. I have told him he needs to find a better way of dealing with anger, there is never an excuse for behaving like that, and if our daughter sees him behave that way, he is in HUGE trouble (with me). I think that has gotten to him, he does not want our daughter to see those kind of fits, how can we expect our kid to be well-behaved when he is not? Ya, now if we can get her to stop swearing, lol. Yes, my poor kid has heard me say this particular phrase when I do something I didn't mean to do (like drop something that startles me, this phrase just flys out). Oh yes, and anytime I do something like that now, she says it for me. It is funny, but it is not funny! I laughed the first time she said it, I'm such a BAD MOM!!! Now she says it ALL THE TIME!!! More that I do, for sure, and we can't get her to stop. The best part is that this is the only thing I ever say, and I don't use it that often. My husband, on the other hand, swears a lot and I've been telling him he needs to knock it off, ESPECIALLY in front of our daughter, so who's swear word does she say? Mine! I can't believe it. lol. Anyway, that has nothing to do with the question, but I think it is amusing anyway. :P
Ok, that's it. Now I need to think of some good ones for kiya. That shouldn't be to hard, hehe.
