Tired of all of those surveys made up by high school kids? Here are some questions for the people who are a little older…
Well, I am getting a little annoyed at being asked if I’ve kissed a boy or not. Yeah, I think I JUST MIGHT HAVE ONCE OR TWICE.
1. What bill do you hate paying the most? Rent. Just kidding, honey! Actually, that one is fun — I usually write “For sexual favors” or some such variation on the envelope. Evidently he didn’t notice this until I mentioned it. He’s cute. In reality? My cell phone, because Bell’s website sucks. Better than getting paper bills, but bleah. Learn user interface design. (Says the girl currently reading a book on user interface design.)
2. Do you miss being a child? Not particularly.
3. Chore you hate the most? Cleaning the bathroom. Nick’s not a fan of that one either, which is why it gets … well, the way it is now. Ugh.
4. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner? ALL my dinners with Nick are romantic. (*cough, sputter, spew* yeah, I’m disgusting.) If we’re talking out of the house, and not McDonalds… probably Milestones. Nick likes their spinach dip.
5. If you could go back and change one thing what would it be? My taste in men pre 2000. Come to think of it, my taste in men post-2000 hasn’t been that great either. Perhaps my taste in men pre-2008.
6. Name of your first grade teacher? Mrs. Vivian Rygnestad. Also, my second grade teacher. Oddly enough, now the principal of the school I went to AFTER she was my teacher. For those playing at home: She taught me grade 1 & 2 at Cloverdale Elementary, which is now a “traditional” school (I think that means “we don’t allow talk of gays or art”) and is now the principal of Latimer Road, where I went for gr 6 & 7.
7. What would you like to be doing right now? Figuring out this customers problem. I’m mulling.
8. What did you want to be when you grew up? A paleontologist. I outgrew my love of dinosaurs around the age of 13 or so.
9. How many colleges did you attend? Er… lesse. Kwantlen, Camosun, Kwantlen again (different campus), Langara, Emily Carr… 4 or 5, depending on how you count.
10. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now? It says “Jesse and the Rippers” on it. That’s reason enough.
11. What are your thoughts on gas prices? Nick drives the car FAR more than I do, and therefore is usually the one to put gas in it (I pay the insurance, this seems fair to me) so… they’re gas prices? Whatever.
12. First thought when the alarm went off this morning? Muahahah, Nick has to get up before me because he’s got a thing to do this morning, I don’t have to get up yet. YES!
13. Last thought before going to sleep last night? Sometimes I think I’m a bad girlfriend. On the upside, sometimes I also think I’m a very good girlfriend.
14. What famous person would you like to have dinner with? Huh. I can’t think of anyone.
15. Have you ever crashed your vehicle? Three times. First one was when I was 17, single vehicle, hydroplaned off the I-5 through a fence, thereby scaring the living shit out of myself. Second, got rear ended just past an intersection (I stopped to let a bus pull out, he decided it was safer to hit me than to stop in the intersection… yeah), 100% his fault. Third, learned that driving thirty seconds after I’ve woken up is a bad plan, and very lightly t-boned someone who didn’t signal when they were turning in front of me. Not much damage, paid it out rather than take the hit to my insurance.
16. If you didn’t have to work, would you volunteer? Heck, I like volunteering now. I wouldn’t full time, but yes, definitely.
17. Get up early or sleep in? Sleep in. Sleep in ALL DAY.
18. Who is your favorite cartoon character? The Grinch.
19. Favorite thing to do with your spouse? Snuggle. Vomit vomit, barf barf, I know. Possibly also walking the dog.
20. Favorite lunch meat? Roast Beast. Er, Beef.
21. What do you get every time you go into Wal-Mart? A headache, and a suspicious feeling that my grandmother is scolding me.
22. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual? Huh. I don’t really know what to say about that. Depends on your definition of marriage.
23. Favorite movie you wouldn’t want anyone to find out about? XXX. what? Vin Diesel!
24. What’s your favorite drink? diet coke.
25. Who from high school would you like to run in to? Well, Tina, although I doubt that’d be running into. If you mean someone I haven’t seen SINCE high school… nobody, really. I kept in touch with the people I really wanted to keep in touch with.
26. What radio station is your car radio tuned to right now? The space in my car where you would usually find a radio holds only some random wires and my iPod.
27. Sopranos or Desperate Housewives? If I HAD to choose, Desperate Housewives, but I’ve seen approximately the same of both: 10 minutes of an episode here or there.
28. Worst relationship mistake that you wish you could take back, past or present? Agreeing to marry Tyler. Conveniently, I DID take it back, but I think I’d have skipped the two years of engagement, too.
29. Do you like the person that sits directly across from you at work? Directly across from me is … a wall. I love him! (That said, I like all of my coworkers. Hello, coworkers! Don’t pee in my coffee.)
30. Have you ever had to use a fire extinguisher for its intended purposes? Intended purpose? No. (Unintended purpose? Well, still no. Damn.)
31. Do you have a teddy bear? Yes, although I left it at my parents place when I moved in with Nick. Now I just use a pillow. Kind of miss the bear.
32. Strangest place you have ever brushed your teeth? Probably in a creek somewhere, but that doesn’t seem very strange if you camp.
33. Do you go to church? God no.
34. How old are you? 29
35. What is your favorite summertime activity? Hikes with the dog.
Whenever I have to write a cheque to a friend for something, I write in the comment part “for the good sex”. Once that was on a $500 cheque; instead of cashing it my friend framed it and put it up on his office wall.
Walmart? WTF?
What? I didn’t say it was OFTEN, but I have set foot inside…
make sure you don’t put the “sexual favours” on the memo section of the chq, at my last job we had a chq returned that had it in the memo section, the customer thought it was funny, hell I thought it was funny, the bank didn’t, their reason was they do not condone prostitution, lol I still laugh but the customer didn’t think that was too funny when he had to pay our NSF fee lol
hehe, luckily… I pay cash. :)
When I first read #19, I read it as “snuggling vomit.” Am very queasy now.
I swear we’ve had this conversation before, but I totally went to Latimer Road for K-half of grade 2. I remember the old school was totally bitching though, with awesome tile floors and big old bay windows in the classroom, like the classrooms you see in shows or movies. I drove by it a little while ago, and now it looks like a church. =(
Yeah? Which years were those? I forget exactly what the age difference is between us, but I think we may have gone there at the same time. :) (I was there 90-92).
