What I'd much rather be doing...I have nothing really important to say right now - though I do have a few semi-interesting posts to share in a few weeks. However, I felt that plagiarizing Kali's meme would be good way for me to take my mind off things as I sit here noshing on lunch, and to answer several mind-blowing questions that will change how you view me as a person... I think.

Araks robe, Uggs slippers, Target tank top & modal capri tights from The Gap.

Nah, I'm a pretty amicable person.

5 ft. 1in.

Seriously? 108 lbs on a good day.
6. Do you have tattoos?
Nope.
7. Do you have piercings?
Just the ears.
8. What is the ideal couple to you?
Paul Newman and Joanna Woodward! An ideal couple would be equal parts lovers and equal parts friends.

Favorite TV show ever was Fawlty Towers though I actually just caught reruns of it twenty years later. I was also a huge fan of Quantum Leap (Oh, boy!).

50. Who are you tagging?
Anyone with something interesting to share! This was really fun.
This reminds me of the spam books we had in middle school. Did anyone else have them? There was one question on each page - pretty similar questions actually- and we would pass the notebook around for folks to fill out.
ReplyDeleteAww... should I be taking a hint from this? :-)
ReplyDeleteHa! No hints. ;)
DeleteThat was fun! And, yes, James McAvoy is remarkably pretty, especially in Atonement--a film that gets me every time.
ReplyDeleteHe's Scottish. Of course he's pretty :-)
Deletethis is so fun! and i'm with you on the fried chicken ;)
ReplyDeleteI only eat fried chicken like twice a year. It's my guilty pleasure - I sit down with a movie and a 5 piece tub and go to town. I'm sure it's very attractive.
DeleteHave you been to Jollibee yet? <3 fried chicken is life though.
DeleteTotally with you on the dog kissing and the crying over the possibility of the dog dying. If I were an actor that would be my go-to crying tool. Just the thought of it gets me every. damn. time!
ReplyDeleteYes, my dog thinks I'm nuts because every time I read a sad story on Facebook about dying/abused dogs, I go and lie down next to my dog and tell him I love him while squeezing him tightly -- he just wants to get away.
DeleteOh I can relate to #27 and #28 so much! Augh!
ReplyDelete#47 - I was recently discussing this with a friend as an idea for an 80s' theme Halloween party. Then we decided we were too old for Halloween and no one at the party would get the reference...because they're too young.
ReplyDeleteOh you should have! I think people really underestimate the cultural competence of those younger than them. As much as people dog on millenials, I feel like we're familiar with a lot more pop culture from generations before us precisely because of things like the internet (moreso than someone our age in a different era). I know plenty of people who would've got (and loved) the reference. Also the Back to the Future series is quite well known, in the U.S. at least. I understood #47 right off the bat and I've never seen the movies.
DeleteAlso... Google. Or having a link to the movie if it's a Facebook event. (I've done that with friends for parties where we're not sure if everyone will get the reference) Then you're sure everyone's on the same page :)
McFly!!!!! ;)
