1. If you could master one sport, what would it be? Gosh I'm not sure - probably baseball as it's one that I'm probably the worst at but actually find fun in theory.
2. When you make a major purchase, do you go with your gut instinct, or do you do research to make an informed decision? I do lots and lots of research but often end up doing something different than I think I will when I finish researching.
3. There is an old kids' game that says you can find out what your movie star name would be by using your middle name as your first name and the name of the street you grew up on as your last. What is your movie star name? Marie Manning
4. Would you rather give up your favorite music or your favorite food? both are so fleeting, I'm bound to change my mind about what my favorite of either is at some point. Today I'd say food can go but that's because I'm feeling all motivated to eat better.
5. There are two types of banana preferences. One is pristine yellow, almost to the point of being green; the other is spotty and more ripe. Which is your preference? I'll take the yellow one. I'd way rather have an in between but a banana on it's way out just grosses me out.
6. Your favorite tree is? a weeping willow or a cherry tree
7. On a scale of 1-10, how tech savvy are you? I'd say I'm easily a 7
8. Has H1N1 touched your family? Nope, surprisingly not. I know many people who have it, or their kids have it, or they know someone who has. My husband's coworker had it but none of us have.
9. Are you an analytical person, or do you just accept things the way they are without questioning or scrutinizing? I think I'm pretty analytical, I like to think and dwell on things.
10. Is your personality more like that of a dog, cat, or Koala? Definitely a cat. Give me attention then leave me alone. Please have my food ready when I'm hungry. Cat's aren't there for you, you are there for them. Some might see that as a bad thing, I see it as fact.
11. Do you keep in touch with friends you made years ago? Some of them, sure
12. You are checking out at a grocery store. In the express lane, there are more people than the regular lanes, but of course, their load is less than those in the regular lanes. Which lane do you choose (assuming you qualify for the express lane) and why? I'd go for the shorter line unless the regular lane was occupied by someone buying like 800 things. It might take longer but for some reason I'd still rather stand in a shorter line. Also I like to spend a bit of time browsing the magazines and candy and the express lanes tend to move pretty quickly and often don't have as much fun stuff to look at.
