Apr. 16: Thursday Thunks #3

Recently Berleen and I discovered the allure of the Twilight series. Have you ever been sucked in to the latest “thing”? (Like Harry Potter, the movie Titanic, social networking, etc. etc. etc.)
Not really. The “thing” usually loses some appeal for me once it reaches the mainstream.
What software do you use for your email?
Outlook and Yahoo
Are you comfortable being nude?
Nope
What is something you plan on doing this summer?
I’ll be taking the kids to swimming lessons every day for a month (jealous???). We also have a trip to Sunriver planned. Nothing else is a sure thing yet.
Do you have a favorite movie/book quote? If so, what is it?
So many! But I think one of my favorites is in Rent when Maureen yells, “There will always be women in rubber flirting with me!”
How many email addresses do you have?
Six, but I only use three on a regular basis
Is the sky falling?
Not to my knowledge…
Have you been to the Grand Canyon?
No. I flew over it once but the clouds were too thick to see it. Bummer.
When was the last time you mailed a hand written letter?
I mailed our handwritten thank-you notes right after Christmas.

As always, now it’s your turn. Answer in a comment or on your own blog and post a link at the Thursday Thunks site. Thanks for playing.

What is THURSDAY THUNKS? Thursday Thunks (TT) is a blog meme for those who need a little kick in the butt to find something to post about. Your blog posts/answers to TT’s can be type or pictures, doesn’t matter! YOU pick, not us, we just give you the assignment (yep, just like English class... only we won’t grade your spelling and grammar).

I'm jealous you don't get sucked into mainstream things.

Also, swimming lessons are sooo important! I remember taking them back in the day!

THURSDAY THUNKS

1. Recently Berleen and I discovered the allure of the Twilight series. Have you ever been sucked in to the latest “thing”? (Like Harry Potter, the movie Titanic, social networking, etc. etc. etc.)

Guess I'm too out-of-it to be "in"--so I just get caught up in BBC series....Ballykissangel, Monarch of the Glen.... See, not too cool!

2. What software do you use for your email?

Outlook and Yahoo

3. Are you comfortable being nude?

Is that with an audience? Nope

4. What is something you plan on doing this summer?

Have visits from grandkids and friends!

5. Do you have a favorite movie/book quote? If so, what is it?

Too many to remember!! But probably my favorite is Gandhi's "You can be the change you want to see in the world" (may be a bit of a loose translation....)

6. How many email addresses do you have?

Two

7. Is the sky falling?

You'll have to ask Chicken Little....

8. Have you been to the Grand Canyon?

Yes, and it's unbelievable!!

9. When was the last time you mailed a hand written letter?

About a month ago to an older cousin who doesn't "do" computers!

facts of jen's life

So, who do you think you are? I think I’m Jen. People who don’t know me sometimes call me Jenny. That’s weird.

Tell me about yourself. I was born a small black child, and am now a grown-up, or at least my kids think I am. I’m in my mid-40s and live in the ‘burbs of Portland, Oregon. My husband is Victor, and my kids are Katie and Jack. Read this if you want the real and very long scoop.

Tell me things people might not know about you. I am an ordained minister and can perform marriages. Why no one has asked me to do this for them yet, I do not know. ● At the request of my Disney-hating friend Ed, I got mouse ears embroidered with the name “Satan” and I didn’t even get kicked out of Disneyland. It’s quite possibly the ballsiest thing I’ve ever done. ● I “helped” write this book, published in 2012: You Take it From Here, by Pamela Ribon. My name is in the back, and I’m still geeking out about it. ● I recorded a song in a studio in 1994 and it got local radio play for a few months. At least two times I turned on the radio in the car and my song was playing at that moment—very cool. ● I nearly died from a zit in 1986. I am not making this up. ● Victor and I once appeared on The Tonight Show. Really. If you can find a VCR, I’ll show you the tape.

I read some of your posts and I think you might be an alcoholic. I drink way less than I write about drinking. If I ever STOP talking about booze, then it’ll be time for an intervention.

What do you love? Books. Coffee. Fonts. Broadway musicals. San Francisco. Bacon. Rum. Law & Order. Naps. Butter. Home. Crack cocaine. iDevices. Words. Disney vacations. You.

If you could punch anything or anyone in the face, what/who would it be? Cancer. I was diagnosed with lymphoma in November 2009. I kicked its big fat ugly ass and am in remission now. ● Comic Sans. ● People who won’t take responsibility for their problems—the “I didn’t do anything to deserve this!” attitude. Look in the mirror. That’s who to blame. ● Celebrities who are famous for no reason. Y’know, if we stop looking, they’ll go away... ● Bad grammar and spelling and the dummies who use it.

You seem bitter. Did someone piss in your Cheerios? I’m not bitter. I think unicorns-and-rainbows stuff isn’t very interesting to read, so I tend not to write that way. But also, now you’re being kind of a jackhole.

It seems like no one ever comments on your blog posts. Why is that? Most people comment on the Facebook links. I don’t know why.

What if I want to tell you something? Two ways to reach me: leave a comment on a post, or e-mail me at jenniferTAKETHISPARTOUTmanullang at gmail-dot-com.
