It's late, so I'm taking the easy way out. This meme was boosted, with love, from Mrs. Chili.
What is
your favorite possession? Honestly, I feel like I could do
without most of my possessions. If there’s
something I’m absolutely grabbing in case of a fire, it’s my favorite childhood
home video and a picture of my dad and me (both circa 1981-ish).
Do you like to read? If so, which
books do you love best? Yes, indeed. I started reading when I was pretty young, so
I guess I’ve always loved it…I have fond memories of library trips with my
mom. I almost entirely stick to fiction,
specifically crime dramas/psychological mysteries. I also enjoyed the Harry Potter series and
The Hunger Games trilogy. Oh, and
everyone should go read The Book Thief.
Seriously. Right now.
Do you have any pets?
I have a 4 ½ year old cat, Max. He was
the only way I could get Jersey to marry me.
Ok, not really.
What was your favorite food as a
child? Is it the same now? Well, my favorite childhood meal
was a casserole thingy that we call “bacon mac” and it’s the simplest thing
(basically elbow macaroni, tomato soup, milk, cheese, and bacon crumbles
stirred up and baked in the oven). I don’t
know that I have a current favorite food, but I still LOVE bacon mac. If we’re talking standalone foods, then my
favorites include avocado, ranch dressing, and ice cream.
What is your favorite thing about
blogging? It’s a good way for me to release some things that
bounce around in my head. Even when I
took a two-year break from blogging, I’d often think of things I needed to say. So, it’s a safe place for me. It also allows for some self-discovery.
If you could live anywhere, where
would it be? Orange County, CA or Fairfield County, CT.
What is your favorite number? 11
Which of these things would you
find hardest to give up for a year? Chocolate, reading, coffee or smoking? Well, I don’t smoke, so that’s easy. I love coffee, but I think it’s the routine
of it as much as anything. I’d miss it,
but could deal. I think I could give up
chocolate, too. There are other sweet
things that could probably curb that craving.
I can’t imagine not reading. That
just seems crazy to me.
If you could make your life into a
movie, what would you name it…and who would you want to play you?
Funny, I actually started to write a script for a movie based upon my life
(though it was a very specific segment of my life). I gave it up when I realized that it wasn’t
serving its purpose…I needed catharsis, so I ended up creating the soundtrack
of the movie instead and still have that CD. I know I had a title for it, but I don’t
remember it now. Oh, and I would have
cast Julia Stiles in the main role.
If you had £20,000 for a shopping
spree, what would you buy? I’m too lazy to go look up the
currency conversion, but that seems like a nice amount. If I’m shopping (versus being responsible and
paying off debt), then I’ll go with new carpeting, a new bedroom set, assorted
electronics, and clothes.
If you could eat lunch with one
famous person, who would it be? Wow, that’s actually
really tough. Barack Obama, Neil Patrick
Harris, and Stana Katic come to mind, but I think there are a lot of famous people
with whom I could have a great conversation.
