Une Meme Extraordinaire!
Nicked straight from the pages of Gary's Garrulus Grommeler blog ...
Name someone with the same birthday as you
Charles Dickens; Sir Thomas More (I wrote my honors thesis at ETSU about him!); my best friend in high school's brother Jerry Castillo; Chris Rock; Laura Ingalls Wilder (one of my childhood heroines); James Spader (love that guy!); Garth Brooks
Where was your first kiss?
At Skateland in Garland, Texas, when the guy who lived across the alley from me followed my best friend and me there. Fortunately I dumped him for Eric Zahn not long afterwards.
Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else's property?
I've wanted to but I've never done it.
Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?
Only in Tae Kwon Do class.
Have you ever sang in front of a large group of people?
I was in my school choir and had a couple of solos. Oh, and I had a bet with my best friend Michelle recently that I lost, which means the next time we go out, I have to sing karaoke ...
What's the first thing you notice about the preferred sex?
The eyes ...
What really turns you on?
I missed reading this question when I read it on Gary's blog ... *blush* But the short, non-porn answer would be having the back of my neck nibbled on.
What do you order at Starbucks?
Do you know just how out of the way Starbucks is? I've been there a grand total of ONE time, and on that occasion I ordered a mocha-whatever-it-is.
What is your biggest mistake?
Except for the fact I have two lovely kids, it would have to be my first marriage.
Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose?
Well, I've set myself up for some major emotional hurt, does that count? How about letting people take pops at me in Tae Kwon Do? Other than that, the answer is no.
Say something totally random about yourself.
My belly button is healing up nicely after having it pierced. I need to clean the toilet because there are five males in this family who need target practice. I want to win the Formula One competition I've entered and will be devastated if I don't. My son Ricky gives really nice hugs.
Has anyone ever said you look like a celebrity?
Yes, when I was younger, a guy in a bookshop in London said I looked like Linda Hamilton (from "The Terminator"). A few people in Texas said the same thing. I never saw a resemblance. Oh, and Eric Zahn (as mentioned above in the first kiss question) recently told me by email that if I had a movie made about my life, Roseanne Barr might be a good choice to play me. I said she has the right sense of humour, wrong body shape.
Do you still watch kiddy movies or tv shows?
Depends on the movie, and I like watching "Rugrats".
Did you have braces?
No.
Are you comfortable with your height?
The only time it bothers me is when I buy jeans or other trousers. They're always too long in the leg. My second ex calls me "Munchin" because he thinks it's funny I'm only five foot four inches. Simon calls me a midget for the same reason. My son Braden towers over me now. But I've been this height since I was 12, so I think 26 years has given me a bit of time to accept it!
What is the most romantic thing someone has ever done for you?
Hmmmmmmm ... I'll have to get back to you on that one.
When do you know it's love?
When you can't get them out of your head when you're apart; when you're so comfortable with that person you feel empty when they're not with you; when you finish each others thoughts without annoying each other.
Do you speak any other languages?
American English and British/Derbyshire English are two different languages. Does that count? If not, a bit of Spanish I picked up in Texas and my high school French.
Have you ever been to a tanning salon?
Nope, don't like the idea of skin cancer to go.
What magazines do you read?
F1 Racing, the weekly TV magazine, Country Walking, Weight Watchers and a couple of scrapbooking magazines.
Have you ever ridden in a Limo?
Yes, after my grandfather's funeral and on my (third) wedding day.
Has anyone you were really close to passed away?
My grandfather. It was 11 years ago and I still can't believe he's gone.
Do you watch MTV?
Not really, but they usually have MTV or some other video channel on in the gym which is why I take my MP3 player with me.
What's something you really like?
What a question! I know it's my blog but there are still limits to how much I should post ... I really like lots of things!
Do you like Michael Jackson?
I was a fan of his in the early 1980s, and I still like songs like "Beat It", "Thriller", "Man in the Mirror", etc., but I will never again buy one of his CDs or do anything else to support a man I believe to do horrible things to children, despite what the jury said!
Can you dance?
I was on the drill team in high school, and I still have a bit of a sense of rhythm, but there's no way I could do the can-can like I used to!
What's the latest you have ever stayed up?
Geez, I've stayed up all night for one reason or another. Like on the trip to Brussels in February, I couldn't get comfortable and drop off to sleep because Dennis's big feet kept kicking me!
Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance to the emergency room?
Nope.
Do you read these when someone fills them out?
It depends on who the "someone" is. Is it someone I like? Is it someone I can't stand? Is it someone I even know?
