stuff jen says: Jan. 1: Kiddie interviews

I ripped off this little questionnaire from Jen E @ mommablogsalot and surveyed my goofy kids tonight. Here were their answers.

Name	Katie	Jack
Age	9½ years old	8 years old
Favorite toy	the Wii	LEGOs
Favorite TV show	The Suite Life on Deck	Spongebob Squarepants
Favorite book	Katie Kazoo series	Harry Potter series
Favorite animal	dog	Dug (from Up)
Favorite movie	Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie (“there was just so much action!”)	Batman Returns
Favorite food	rice with popcorn chicken	natto
Favorite drink	milk, water	Pepsi
Favorite color	blue	red
Favorite clothes	blue jeans, Snoopy shirt	black skinny jeans
Favorite place to go	Great Wolf Lodge	Great Wolf Lodge, LEGO store
If you could change your name, what would you change it to?	Bailey	Mack
What do you love about Mom?	“She loves me so much and cares about me.”	“She has good parenting and she takes care of me.”
What do you love about Dad?	“He made me my special bear, Sam.”	“We go hiking together.”
If you could go anywhere on vacation, where would you go?	Hawaii	Greenland

If I remember, I’ll ask them these same questions next January 1. Since Jack’s favorites of everything change on a pretty regular basis, I predict his answers will be quite a bit different next year; it won’t surprise me if Katie’s are mostly the same.

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.

I think you made up the comments they made about you! {Snicker}. ShevyX.

I think Katie and I could hang out - I actually like Wizards of Waverly Place a lot - such a cute show, I wish I had a tween in the house to blame it on when I turn it on...

Great idea to do that every year and save their answers.

Love those kiddies! :)
