2. What domestic chore do you hate? I don't like to vaccuum, fold/ put away laundry or change sheets.
3. What domestic chore do you enjoy? I like cleaning kitchens and bathrooms.
4. Do you own a washing machine or go to the laundrette? I have a washing machine - one of the few perks to being an old lady with a job (as opposed to a poor college student).
5. Do you iron underpants and/or bed sheets? ARE YOU KIDDING??? I don't iron ANYTHING unless forced at gun point.
1. If you were to have a scholarship created in your honor, what qualities would you look for in applicants (leadership, service, GPA, etc.)?
2. Who would be eligible to apply for your scholarship (members of a certain major, ethnic group, sexuality, etc.)?
3. Would it be need-based or not? Why?
4. What would you call it?
5. If you made applicants write an essay, what would the topic be?
ETA- I can't believe I spelled questionnaire right on the first try! 2. Who would be eligible to apply for your scholarship (members of a certain major, ethnic group, sexuality, etc.)?
3. Would it be need-based or not? Why?
4. What would you call it?
5. If you made applicants write an essay, what would the topic be?
1. What would you do right now, if money were not an issue? Travel- Japan, Antarctica, Europe, Africa
2. What would you do for the next three years, if money were not an issue? - That's a toss up between traveling or starting a business of my own. Depends on if money would never be an issue or if for three years only money would not be an issue. If I have three years with no trouble getting and using money, then I would start a real estate empire, make all kinds of money then use that to travel or go back to school. If money would never be an issue for me again, I would travel, travel, travel.
3. What is bringing you the most joy right now that requires little or no money? Reading, watching my dogs run around, being with my niece and nephew, planning and dreaming big.
4. What types of things do you find enjoyable that require no money? Reading, taking a walk, goofing off with Lenny, playing games, looking at old pictures, writing, scrapbooking or cooking (because I have all the stuff I need, so it's essentially free now), offering solicited or unsolicited advice, making to-do lists
5. Is there anything you've been meaning to do for a long time, but put off because of money? Buying some more property, going to school again, adopting some kids (which also has a different set of problems, but it is quite expensive.)
2. Whom do you talk to on the phone the most? My husband since he travels a lot for work.
3. Whom do you no longer talk to on the phone but wish you still did? My Grandma. If I had to pick a living person, I guess it would be Suz, my best friend in high school who is now a lawyer. (Didn't see that one coming!)
4. If you could get ahold of one celebrity phone number, whose digits would you want? That's a tough one because I don't really hold celebrities with too much value. Maybe, Bill Clinton. He'd be awesome to have a candid, totally confidential conversation with.
5. Do you talk on the phone more or less than you used to? Probably less... does any one talk on the phone as much as teen aged girl? I guess now they IM, but I did the old fashioned way.
2. What genre of music makes you the happiest? Club/dance - how can you be miserable bouncing around?
3. What would you name your band and what kind of music would you play? Mr. Grithems for ridiculous reasons and I'd probably sing jazz or torch.
5. What band/artist could you never live without? Why? How can you limit this to just one? Each one of mine makes me feel different things: The Cure, Patsy Cline, or Rachmaninoff.
- What type of hair do you have? (Thin, Normal, Thick, Frizzy, etc.) Thick with a slight curl to it.
- What color is your hair currently? Dark blond with highlights.
- What colors have you dyed/highlighted your hair? Red, brown, dark brown, light blond.
- If you could dye your hair any color, what would it be? Dark chocolate brown with chunky, blue pieces.
- What is your hair's length? Very short these days; it's never been shorter.
1) One book to read. The Road Less Travelled - M. Scott Peck
2) One movie to watch. I can't think of a single movie that would be so important and also timeless.
3) One food to eat. A homegrown tomato
4) One place to go. Go to college.
5) One life lesson to leave behind. Getting married is not just signing paper work. Being married doesn't mean that you're "completed"; it means that you've chosen a person to build a life with. You're going to spend more time living with your spouse than you spent with your parents and siblings or even your own children. Find a someone good to go on the journey with.
- Remember the scene with Molly Ringwald putting lipstick on by holding it in her cleavage? Name one really bizarre thing you know how to do. No matter how small. I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue.
- What's your favourite way to pass the time? TV, games, read
- What's your favourite restaurant and why? I don't eat at restaurants unless I'm being lazy and don't want to cook. When that happens, I'll eat what's local and quick, nothing I would consider a favorite; just convenient. I also don't believe in spending money on food that I can make myself. Besides, going out to eat takes half the fun away from me. I love to chop, stir, roast, saute and ultimately feed people. Can my answer be "my kitchen"? I can cook anything I want and it's better for me than restaurant food.
- Which TV/Radio show did you like that's not aired any more? I used to love 80's sitcoms like Facts of Life and Growing Pains, but I'm not sure that I would have the patience with them now. I might have to answer today with thritysomething or Life Goes On. I'm sorry, brain fart - Sons & Daughters, hands down.
- if you had a choice of learning another new language, what would you choose? what do you think that reflects about you? Technically, I always have that choice but for the sake of the question: Russian- because it has always fascinated me and Italian- because I'm going there in 11 months (not that I'm counting down the days or anything...)
- Music:Ravel's Bolero
1. song/movie/book:
Patsy Cline - Crazy : The first and best song in a large repertoire that I sing in the car or within the confines of my home with no audience (save Lenny) because I am too embarrassed to sing in front of people. I'll do karaoke, but I have to be at least partially inebriated.
2. person:
My husband : obvious choice
Less obvious? My third grade teacher, Sr. Roseen : "Readers are leaders" - if she only knew
3. place:
Tucson, Arizona : college, work, marriage, first home - lots of stuff happened here for me
4. event:
Graduation and wedding is too easy. It would have to be the day I met my neice. I vividly remember when I was supposed to go back home to AZ and my sister had to remove D from my arms. It was physically painful to leave her and I was irrationally planning all the ways and things that I could change so that I could be with her and not leave her. Since I don't have my own kids, I often think this must be how it feels to be a mom. At that moment and still today, she is mine. I love kids, some very deeply - but D is mine, she belongs to me and that feeling is tremendously powerful. I had never felt that before. It's kind of wierd, isn't it?
5. self indulgence:
bookstores and while on vacation, jewlery
I have four: Gone with the Wind, Grapes of Wrath, To Kill a Mockingbird, and The Handmaid's Tale
2. What is your all time favorite movie?
That's a tough one: American Beauty, Amadeus, Fast Times at Ridgemont High... this is all I can think of right now.
3. What are you reading right now?
Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin
4. What is your favorite show on tv?
The Office, Lost, Dancing with the Stars (quit laughing, at least I left off 7th Heaven)
5. What is the last movie you saw in the theater?
Blades of Glory in Mililani, HI - and the attendant asked me if I was military wife. Never been asked that before, but I guess it makes sense since it's very close to Schofield Barracks. There must be a discount or something.
Thought I'd try doing The Friday Five, but I don't really like these questions. I've seen much better ones in previous weeks.
