65 Questions You’ve Probably Never Been Asked

65 Questions You’ve Probably Never Been Asked… (Swiped from Violet, swiped from…, swiped from…, and they told two friends, and so on) 1. First thing you wash in the shower? Armpits 2. What color is your favorite hoodie? I don’t think I have a favorite anymore.  It used to be my white B.U.M. Equipment hoodie, with blue writing on it, but I’ve, uh, outgrown it temporarily. 3. Would you kiss the last person you kissed again? Sure. 4. Do you plan outfits? Nope.  I can’t think of much I dislike more. 5. How are you feeling RIGHT now? Tired, but a little antsy from the single Excedrin I took.  It’s been windy at night, which is making my sinuses hurt. 6. Whats the closest thing to you that’s red? Domo-kun’s (that Ag made me for Secret Santa a couple of years ago) mouth.  He sits in front of my monitor.  I looove him. 7. Tell me about the last dream you remember having? Ugh, I had a dream about my Auntie Florence yelling at me, at the grocery store, for not going to some family outting, because I didn’t feel well.  Auntie Florence died a few years ago and I’ve never had a dream about her before.  Very strange. 8. Did you meet anybody new today? No.  I haven’t left the house since we had to have Eli put to sleep on Tuesday.  But, we have to go out to the store tonight to get some food, so I’m sure I’ll see a few people I don’t know, but I doubt we’ll “meet”. 9. What are you craving right now? Energy. 10. Do you floss? Not as often as I should, but way more often than when I was a kid.  I used to floss right before going to the dentist.  Duh, as if they couldn’t tell that my gums weren’t used to being flossed every day.  Man, kids are so dumb sometimes. 11. What comes to mind when I say cabbage? Cabbage rolls.  Stouffer’s cabbage rolls, to be specific. 12. Are you emotional? Not usually, but moreso lately, although the past month has been one of the most difficult months of my life, so I guess it makes sense. 13. Have you ever counted to 1,000? No. 14. Do you bite into your ice cream or just lick it? Lick it, but I like for my ice-cream to have bits of stuff in it.  At the very least, chocolate chips. 15. Do you like your hair? Generally, although I like it best about a week after a haircut. 16. Do you like yourself? In general, yeah. 17. Would you go out to eat with George W. Bush? Like Violet said, if he invited me and paid, probably.  I don’t think he’s a terrible human being, just kind of dumb.  I think most of the terrible stuff was planned by other people and he just said, “Uh, okay, whatever.” 18. What are you listening to right now? The air conditioning. 19. Are your parents strict? Not really. 20. Would you go sky diving? Probably not.  I’m afraid of heights. 21. Do you like cottage cheese? Only large curd, and only with sugar and some sort of flavoring or fruit added. 22. Have you ever met a celebrity? Yes.  Bill Murray shared M&M’s with me, making sure I got one of each color.  Nice guy. 23. Do you rent movies often? No. 24. Is there anything sparkly in the room you’re in? Probably, but I don’t see it. 25. How many countries have you visited? Do I get to count the one I live in?  Other than that, I’ve been to Canada & Mexico.  Mostly just over the border for both of them. 26. Have you made a prank phone call? Just once.  I think Kris and I made one of those “Is your refrigerator running?” calls.  But only once.  It wasn’t that fun. 27. Ever been on a train? Yes.  With my cousins, to Santa Barbara.  I specifically remember John Henry Hobart Peshine’s grave at some mission cemetery. 28. Brown or white eggs? Either. 29. Do you have a cell-phone? Yes, but it’s a pay-per-use phone and I rarely use it.  I don’t like the phone anymore ever since I worked in reservations for United Airlines. 30. Do you use chapstick? Yes.  Burt’s Bees. 31. Do you own a gun? No.  Guns creep me out. 32. Can you use chopsticks? Sorta. 33. Who are you going to be with tonight? Leigh-Ann and the furry & feathered beasts. 34. Are you too forgiving? Not anymore, no. 35. Ever been in love? Yep. 36. What is your best friend(s) doing tomorrow? Napping? 37. Ever have cream puffs? Yes. 38. Last time you cried? Sniffily, today.  Out and out, Tuesday. 39. What was the last question you asked? “What’s that vet tech’s name, again?”  I have a mental block about one of the techs.  It’s weird, it’s not a difficult name. 40. Favorite time of the year? Fall, I think. 41. Who did you last call? My parents, on Thursday.  42. Are you sarcastic? Of course. 43. Have you ever seen The Butterfly Effect? I have no idea what that is. 44. Ever walked into a wall? Probably, but I don’t remember doing it. 45. Favorite color? Bright colors combined w/ black or grey. 46. Have you ever slapped someone? No. 47. Is your hair curly? More wavy. 48. What was the last CD you bought? Probably P!nk. 49. Do looks matter? Sometimes. 50. Could you ever forgive a cheater? Probably not. 51. Is your phone bill sky high? No, but it’s more than we can afford. 52. Do you like your life right now? No. 53. Do you sleep with the TV on? I don’t watch much tv anymore. 54. Can you handle the truth? Sure. 55. Do you have good vision? It seems worse.  I’ve actually been regularly wearing my reading glasses for, uh, reading, just in the past week or so. 56. Do you hate or dislike more than 3 people? Yes. 57. How often do you talk on the phone? As little as possible.  I think everyone should communicate by email. 58. The last person you held hands with? Leigh-Ann, I guess. 59. What are you wearing? T-shirt and shorts. 60.What is your favorite animal? Kittens! 61. Where was your default picture taken? Depends on what account you’re talking about, but probably at home. 62. Can you hula hoop? I haven’t tried in many, many years, but was never very good at it. 63. Do you have a job? No.  Do you want to hire me? 64. What was the most recent thing you bought? Grapefruit juice. 65. Have you ever crawled through a window? No, I don’t think so.

terribly early in the morning

Meme Me Up, Scotty!

I’ve been working my butt off lately, and I have the Carpal Tunnel pain to show for it, so I’m celebrating by, uh, doing a meme.  Okay, what I’m really trying to do is get back in the swing of this here blogging thing.  Instead of being grumpy & sad because life sucks, I should just write about how badly life sucks and then maybe some gazillionaire will stop by and pay off my mortgage, so Leigh-Ann and I can live happily ever after.  Because other than working out a payment agreement to stop the bank from foreclosing on our house and making other rather large payments to stop another evil witch from taking my care and aside from the Fibromyalgia pain & exhaustion, I’m really pretty damned happy.  I would like to say here and now that Aurora Loan Services sucks and will not help you if you’re having problems with your mortgage payment.  Instead, they will constantly threaten to auction your house unless you agree to pay whatever it is they want, even if it’s $500 MORE a month than the payment on which you were behind.  They wouldn’t let me do ANYTHING to try to lower the horrific interest rate of 8%.  I even asked if I could pay points, but nope, they’re not interested in helping.  And if anyone from Aurora reads this and doubts what I’m saying, I have emails from the representative from the company, where she keeps saying, “...well then we’ll auction the house” every time I tried to get reasonable consideration.  She kept telling me that it wasn’t a refinance (she wrote it in a really snotty way, too) and that basically, she had no interest in making life any easier for us.  Of course, all she did was increase the chance of us walking away from the house and letting them have the house and all of its damned negative equity.  I hope that someday, Aurora’s finest, has some financial problems caused by medical issues and that she gets someone to treat her exactly how she treated me.  Normally, I’d say that I wouldn’t want my worst enemy to be treated that way; however, I think karma deserves to visit the representatives from Aurora Loan Services who have teeny tiny itty bitty hearts of stone.  I’ll admit that there were a couple of super nice people there, but they were the ones to work on my final loan modification, unfortunately.  The woman who did seems to think that a mortgage that is equal to half of my gross monthly income is feasible, when I also have large medical bills every month.

I live in the country’s biggest foreclosure zip code, there are a couple of empty houses on my block, and they’ve been empty for well over a year now.  My house has dropped so far in value that I’m paying into a large amount of negative equity.  I just want to move where the houses cost $50k, so I could beg for change on the streets and still be able to pay the mortgage.  If you know of anywhere nice that is really cheap (with land for the dogs to roam), and is near an airport, so I could visit my family often with the fortune I’ll be saving on not having to pay an outrageous mortgage, please let me know.  Since the stress has made my FMS so bad, my family barely sees me anyway and wouldn’t even know if I moved.  I could fly in to visit once a month and see them more than I do now. 

Oh yeah, about that meme.  I apologize for rambling about the mortgage again.  Until I’m living in a cheap shack or unless I win the lottery, that’s probably going to be a frequent whine for me.  I’ll try to limit it to the confines of my house, so you don’t get tired of the whining.  Anyway, the meme!  I swiped this from Nancy & Helly.

MEMOLOGY TECHNOLOGY What is your wallpaper on your computer? - It’s a picture of Nancy’s son, with his back to the camera, and his arms folded across his chest, in what is clearly the best pouty body language that can be found. How many televisions do you have in your house?  -  Four.  The big tv in the bonus room that has the cable box hooked up to it, the bird’s little tv that is on PBS all day to keep them company, and the tvs in the other two bedrooms that are never used. BIOLOGY Are you right-handed or left-handed? - Right-handed, but I play pool left-handed because I learned by watching my left-handed brother. Have you ever had anything removed from your body? - Four wisdom teeth and some herniated disc gunk. What is the last heavy item you lifted?  A pile of folded laundry.  I don’t lift really heavy stuff anymore because my back could go at any moment. Have you ever been knocked out? - For surgery once.  I also once saw stars, but didn’t get knocked out.  I was playing first on my college softball team and our third baseman fielded a ground ball and made a bad throw to me.  She threw it up the line, in front of first, so in order to catch it, I had to step in front of the runner, knowing we were going to collide.  We did.  My head bounced off the ground, but I held onto the ball.  Seeing stars is overrated. BULLSHITOLOGY If it were possible, would you want to know the day you were going to die?  Yeah, so I could make better plans.  If I was going to die soon, I wouldn’t worry so much about money & stuff. If you could change your name, what would you change it to?  When I was in elementary school, I wanted to be named Karen for some odd reason.  I don’t even particularly like the name Karen now.  I mean, it’s fine for other people, but I don’t crave being named Karen. What colour do you think looks best on you?  - I don’t know, but I like wearing dark colors mixed with bright colors.  For instance, grey & pink. Have you ever swallowed a non-food item?  - Sure, I take pills every day.  Oh, and I ate pot brownies once, many many many years ago.  My cousin, she was a terrible influence.  Then again, I’m proof that pot isn’t a gateway drug.  Except for what I’m prescribed, I have no desire for anything wackier than pot.  Although, I’ve always wondered what heroin would feel like.  But, I would never try it, so I can just keep on wondering. DAREOLOGY Would you kiss a member of the same sex for $100?  - Sure, why not.  I’d even do it lots of times, especially if you were paying me $100 a kiss. Would you allow one of your little fingers to be cut off for $200,000? - Yep.  Right now, you can have them both, as long as I get the $400k.  Would you never blog again for $50,000? - No, that’s really not enough money.  Although, tempt me with a briefcase full of the cash and we’ll see. Would you pose naked in a magazine for $250,000?  I’d hate every moment of it, but I’d definitely do it for a quarter of a million bucks. Would you drink an entire bottle of hot sauce for $1,000? - Hmmm, how hot?  Maybe. Would you, without fear of punishment, take a human life for $1,000,000?  - Definitely, if I didn’t have to worry about getting caught.  Heck, I’ve got a list.  But, just so I don’t seem like a crazy person, I’ll just tell you that I’ll start with child molesters & rapists.  However, there are other people on the list.  “Can I get a million for each?”, she says, rubbing her hands in glee. DUMBOLOGY What is in your left pocket?  - Nothing, but I have a paper towel in my right pocket. Is Napoleon Dynamite actually a good movie?  - I cannot express in words how much I hated that movie.  I don’t understand how anyone could like it, except for the dance scene.  That was entertaining.  But the rest of the movie?  Yuk. Do you have hardwood or carpet in your house? - I wish we had wood (or Pergo) flooring, but we mostly have carpeting, with some linoleum here and there. Do you sit or stand in the shower? - Stand.  Although, sometimes I’m so tired that I wish I could sit.  It’s probably best that I don’t or I might fall asleep. How many pairs of flip flops do you own? - One, maybe.  I had some groovy flowery ones from Old Navy or somewhere, but I think I may have worn them out. LASTOLOGY Last person who texted you? - No one.  I don’t pick up messages from my cell phone.  I don’t give out the number, so if someone is calling or texting, it’s a wrong number. Last person who called you? - The doctor’s office, to confirm our appointments for tomorrow afternoon. Person you hugged? - Helly & Alan, last week.  We haven’t been huggy at home lately, I guess.  We haven’t been purposely not-huggy though. FAVOURITOLOGY Number? 7 Season?  - Summer, but when it’s 100 degrees or less. Colour? - Grey. CURRENTOLOGY Missing someone? - Probably. Mood? - Kind of grumpy. Listening to? - I listened to Madonna’s new album on Rhapsody today.  Meh.  Maybe it needs to grow on me. Watching? - The Stanley Cup Playoffs, Reaper, Samantha Who?, and American Idol.  I can’t wait for “So You Think You Can Dance?” to start back up. Worrying about? - LOL! Wearing? - Black shorts and my grey t-shirt with my company’s orange logo on it.  It’s a XXL and super comfy. RANDOMOLOGY First place you went this morning? -  Went?  This afternoon we went to the mailbox store. What can you not wait to do?  - Not worry. Do you smile often? - Despite it all, yeah, I think so. Are you a friendly person? - Generally.  I’m not so good with strangers, but I’m chatty with people who are easy to talk to.

early afternoon

Kristine’s Meme ‘Bout Books

Total # of books owned -  Lots and lots.  More than a thousand, less than ten thousand.  I don’t like to give away my books, and in general, I don’t even like to loan them out. Last book read - I can’t remember the last book I read.  Since we started working on our commission tier, we’ve done a lot less reading.  It’s kind of crappy, because I miss reading every night before bed.  Anyway, I started a new book today that Leigh-Ann already read.  So far, I’m really enjoying it. Duh, just remembered the last book I read.  It’s a good one too!  Five Books that mean a lot to me -       Replay doesn’t really mean a lot to me, it’s just a lovely fantasy that I don’t mind reading over and over.

Hmmm, I thought this meme seemed familiar.  I did it two years ago, and shockingly (No!), my answers are pretty much the same.  When I realized that it was seeming awfully familiar, I stopped, and I shall now link you to the original.  If any of you would like to do this meme, and you haven’t done it yet, by all means, do it.  It’s always interesting to read about people’s favorite books.  Go read about Kristine’s.
