Sep. 25: Meme-iness

Another stolen meme. Jen E posted this on Facebook but there were a lot of the same questions from a meme we did a few weeks ago so I zapped those.

1. Who was the last person to call you babe?
   I don’t think anyone calls me ‘babe.’ I’m sure I get called *A* babe all the time, but… [cough, cough]… they prob’ly mean ‘Babe,’ as in the pig in that movie.
2. Would you consider yourself a jock/prep/goth/emo/gangster?
   Definitely a prep, and proudly so.
3. Have you ever been to the emergency room?
   More times this year than in all my years previous. See what turning 40 does to ya?
4. Do you like hot or cold weather more?
   I hate this kind of question—not a fan of the extremes.
5. How many different kinds of meat have you eaten?
   Beef, pork, venison, rabbit, lamb, turkey, chicken, seafood, parakeet.
6. Do (did) you pass all your classes?
   I think I dropped them before I failed them, so YES.
7. Do you like winter?
   Yes
8. Have you stuck gum under your desk?
   No no no! So gross.
9. Would you get plastic surgery?
   Yes
10. Who do you text the most?
    Yesterday, Sunshine. But probably Kathy or Lori on normal days. I’m not much of a texter yet, but I love it.
11. Do you wish you had smaller feet?
    No
12. Has a rumor been spread about you?
    I doubt it.
13. Have you written a secret admirer letter?
    My friends and I all crushed on this one guy in high school. We called ourselves The Ravaged Five (wishful thinking) and our logo—yes, we had a logo—was an upside-down heart with a five inside it. We drew this symbol in lipstick on the guy’s side-view mirror and on all the notes we left on his windshield. At graduation our junior year we gave him a note and admitted who we were. He was not even a little bit surprised.
14. Ever fallen for your best friend?
    Yes, and then I married him.
15. Eaten deer meat?
    Yes
16. Would you pretend to like something to please your partner?
    No pretending. That’s just kooky talk.
17. Favorite ex?
    Isn’t this like asking me to name the best cold sore I ever had?
18. Are you insecure about your weight?
    I hate mirrors.
19. Ever had a stupid situation turn out great?
    Sure
20. Do you prefer to sleep or eat?
    Both are pretty awesome.
21. Do you look like your mom or dad?
    Dad
22. How long does it take you in the shower?
    Ten minutes, unless I’m shaving my legs. Then it takes an hour and three new blades.
23. Do you watch reality TV?
    As little as possible.
24. What movie do you want to see right now?
    That new one with Vince Vaughn and the other one with Ricky Gervais and Tina Fey.
25. Do you illegally burn music?
    [hangs head in shame]
26. What did you do for New Year’s Eve?
    Can’t remember. The kids stayed up and we toasted at midnight, but I don’t remember what we did before that.
27. Last sporting event attended?
    Mariners-Yankees game on Sunday. Before that, I can’t remember.
28. Have you been to an IMAX theater?
    Yes
29. Was your mom a cheerleader?
    I don’t think so. She was a majorette, though, and we’ve got the marching band pictures to prove it. She can still twirl a baton like nobody’s business, and she used to be able to toss one (can you still do that, Mom?).
30. Were you a planned pregnancy for your parents?
    I like to think so. My sister will insist otherwise.
31. What is your brother’s mom’s name?
    No bro.
32. How old was your mom when she gave birth to you?
    26
33. How many hours of sleep do you get a night?
    6-8
34. Last time you gave someone a hug?
    I hug the kids every night before bed.
35. What do you buy at the movies?
    Usually nothing, but if I get snacks it’s popcorn. Sometimes Junior Mints.
36. Do you know how to play poker?
    Yes
37. Do you wear your seatbelt?
    Always
38. What do you wear to sleep?
    Since I’ve been sleeping sitting up, it’s hard to keep covered so I wear jammies. When I slept in a bed—which I hope to do again someday—I wear much less.
39. Anything big ever happen in your town?
    Mt. St. Helens erupted over us a few times. Most of the news-worthy stuff has very little pride associated with it (Tonya Harding, Bob Packwood, etc.).
40. Is your hair straight or curly?
    It’s mostly naturally curly, but I often dry it straight. Throughout the day it ends up curly and frizzy and unattractive because there are places where it’s naturally stick-straight. Stupid hair.
41. Is your tongue pierced?
    No
42. What is your favorite sushi?
    “Favorite” and “sushi” don’t go together in my vocabulary.
43. Do you like funny or serious people better?
    Funny. I likes me the funny.
44. Ever been to Hollywood?
    Yes
45. Any plans for tonight?
    Nothing big.

    Sophie’s birthday.

    No
48. Are you a gullible person?
    Sometimes
49. Ever go to a theme or costume party?
    Yes
50. If you could have any job what would it be?
    I think I’d make a really good billionaire.
51. Are you easy to get along with?
    Ask the people who have to get along with me.
52. What is your favorite time of day?
    Evening, after the kids have gone to bed, when Vic and I can finally talk uninterrupted.
53. Are you a generally happy person?
    I like to think so.

Please, oh please, play along.
