From Paula
1. The phone rings; who do you want it to be? A friend.
2. When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart? What else are you to do with it? I also shop at Harris Teeter a lot- when I have Riley with me, I take them up on the offer to help me out- by the time I get her in her car seat, the cart is unloaded and they are taking the cart back to the store. One of the few times I wish I could tip someone but can't!
3. In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener? Both, totally depends on the state of mental health.
4. Do you take compliments well? I try, but it is very very hard for me.
5. Do you play Sudoku? Yes!!! I love it for something to just idle my brain.
6. If abandoned alone in the wilderness, would you survive? With my blackberry, anything is possible. (I'd so be calling/texting/emailing/etc for help! or using the GPS to get out of there.) I'm also very optimistic that I'd at least try before dying...
7. Do you like to ride horses? Only on merry go rounds and carousels. I'm very allergic to horses. Of course Riley loves them.
8. Did you ever go to camp as a kid? Sleep away church camp from the summer after 2nd grade until my freshman year at Marshall. I loved that week. One year we did go to sleepaway camp for band camp (usually just did it at the school during the day)
9. What was your favorite game as a kid? All of them. I really loved playing cards and chess and one game I can't recall the name of but had a video game in it!
10. If a sexy person was pursuing you, but you knew he/she was married, would you go for it? No. I have serious issues about people who cheat. Now, if I know for a fact they were separated and divorcing but it was not finalized yet and I had faith that it was going to be final, that I'm more comfortable with.
11. Have you lied to get out of a date? I've lied to get out of accepting a date. I've not lied to get out of dates once I've accepted them.
12. Could you date someone with different religious beliefs than you? I have- it depends on what the differences are and how each other are willing to accept them.
13. Do you like to pursue or be pursued? I just want obvious. I'm great at picking out the stuff in other relationships- but suck when it is happening to me.
14. Use three words to describe yourself? Versatile, Intelligent, optimisitc
15. Do any songs make you cry? Yes, some for the subject of the song, some for the memories I have associated with it. I am a SAP.
16. Are you continuing your education? Not formally at this time, but I'm learning a whole new business and tools with the new jobs. I'm always learning something.
17. Do you know how to shoot a gun? I have shot guns before. It has been a long time since I shot a real gun. I would like a refresher because it's one of those things you never know if you might need to be comfortable with it. I read a lot of end of the world type fiction.
18. If your house was on fire, what would be the first thing you grabbed? Riley, Mark, critters, and wallet. Laptop if I get a chance.
