(no subject)
Ack. I notice that I've been tagged. (I wonder how many times I've been tagged and not noticed. Probably a few...)
1. What's your middle name?: Interesting. So you don't know my first name and you don't know my last, but you expect me to divulge my middle name?
2. Is your cell phone a flip phone?: Why is it assumed that I have a cell phone? Actually, just, just got one. And according to the woman who called me with the fabulous offer, it's a "flip-flop phone." I had to keep from laughing each time she said it. And she said it a lot.
3. Have you ever been to New Jersey?: I don't think so. But I do have a few relatives who live there, does that count?
4. What's your favorite soda?: My favorite soda is soda that stays on the shelf in the supermarket and doesn't enter my home. But when I'm sick, I tend to drink gingerale. And once or twice a decade, I get a craving for one of those sickeningly sweet sodas, like orange or...I can't even remember what it's called...the sweet one that's sometimes pinkish and sometimes no color...does anyone know what I'm talking about?
5. Do you have satellite? No.
6. Where did you go to college? College of Life.
7. What's the longest road trip you've been on? From Southern California to Quebec.
8. Did you go to a private school?: Yes.
9. What's your favorite smiley? I like them all.
10. Do you buy lottery tickets in hopes of winning? I have a few times in my life, but not recently.
11. What year were you born in? It's rude to ask a woman her age.
12. Do you like the smell of Sharpies? I've never thought about it before. Next time I open a Sharpie, I'll try to take notice.
13. What does your screensaver look like?: I don't know, the Microsoft logo floating around the screen or something...
14. Do you have an iPod?: No.
15. What's your biggest pet peeve? Being asked dumb, useless questions that just waste my time.
16. What shoe size do you wear? Around 7 1/2.
17. What's your favorite kind of cereal? Probably French Toast Crunch, but it's such garbage that I hardly ever buy it or eat it. I'm not a big cereal eater.
18. Do you ever listen to Classical music? Sometimes.
19. What kind of instruments do you play? I learned to play the recorder a few thousand years ago. I'm not sure if I remember how, though.
20. Do you like Girl Scout cookies? I'm not even sure. I can't remember if I've ever had any.
21. Have you ever ridden in a limo?: Yes.
22. Do you like Hummers?: Only for the safety factor.
24. Are you scared of horses?: No.
25. Do you like milk chocolate or dark chocolate?: Milk chocolate.
26. Do you wear glasses?: When I go out of the house, I usually do. Otherwise, people tend to get offended when they say that I looked right at them (across the street or across the room) and they smiled or waved, but I just ignored them (I couldn't see them and probably didn't know they were smiling or waving at me.) I used to wear them only for driving, but then I got tired of people asking me if I was angry at them, or why I ignored them, etc...
27. Does it annoy you when people misspell things?: It depends who and how many things they've mispelled. It also probably depends a bit on my mood.
28. Do you like the beach or the mountains: Both. The mountains can be a bit scary, driving those narrow winding roads with barely any shoulder to speak of and a huge cliff a few feet away...The beach is beautiful, I love the water and the waves, but I can't stand the mess of sand and how difficult it is to get clean.
29. Have you ever taken cough medicine when you didn't have a cough? No, but I will admit to taking decongestant when I wasn't congested. One winter, I was sick for months with one cold after another. Night after night I was too congested to relax and fall asleep, so I got into the habit of taking decongestant before going to bed. After a few months of this, my colds had all gone away, but I had become dependent (Okay, addicted). I needed the medicine to help me sleep. I continued to take it, gradually decreasing the amount until I didn't need it anymore. Shortly afterward, they pulled the stuff off the shelf because they discovered that one of the active ingredients was dangerous. I can't remember what the danger was, but I was glad I wasn't using it anymore when they pulled it off the shelf.
30. Have you ever been to band camp? No.
31. Do you know any guys with a receding hair line? Yes.
32. Do you know what Chacos are? No.
33. Do you own a Nalgene? I have no idea what this is. And neither does dictionary.com. So probably not.
34. Have you ever watched Room Raiders on MTV?: No.
35. What's the best Christmas present you've ever got?: I don't celebrate Christmas, but I've gotten a few...I just can't remember what they were...
36. What's your favorite Popsicle flavor?: Blue or red, but for some reason, whenever I get into the popsicle mood, the only color left is orange.
37. Did your parents give you an allowance? No.
38. Did you ever watch Rugrats when you were little? No.
39. How many myspace groups have you joined? None.
40. What do you think of standardized tests? I usually don't like tests of any sort.
41. What's the craziest thing you have ever done? The craziest thing I've ever done, would have been answering this question, had I done so.
42. Have you ever cheated on a test? No.
43. Is tomorrow your birthday? No.
44. Have you ever choked on your own spit? Not that I can recall.
45. Do you like roller coasters? No. I used to love them, though.
46. When was the last time you went roller blading? Never.
47. Have you ever wished you had a twin? I don't know if I've wished it, but I've definitely played "what if" and tried to imagine what it would be like.
48. Do you have a caffeine addiction? No.
49. Do you get claustrophobic easily?: Yes.
50. Would you ever kiss on the first date? I'm married. There's no such thing as a first date.
1. What's your middle name?: Interesting. So you don't know my first name and you don't know my last, but you expect me to divulge my middle name?
