Meme Tuesday

Late again.  *sigh*


Alive or dead, who do you most admire (and why)? 
My great grandparents.  I am so amazed at what they went through to get to Canada and succeed as they did.  I'll also be eternally grateful that they gave my mom the love, affection, and attention that she was missing from her own parents -- I honestly believe that the circle of abuse would have continued had it not been for the positive example my great grandparents set.

If you had $10,000 and one hour left to live, what would you do with the money?
Oh, man.  The first thought to pop into my head was "massive shopping spree!"  However, 1.3 seconds later, I realized I wouldn't be around to enjoy it, so I'd take my family on a massive shopping spree: I'd get to enjoy watching them spend the money, and I'd know they be able to enjoy their spoils after I was gone.

What is your most guilty pleasure (only one thing) and does anyone else know about it?
Probably crap/reality TV.  Everyone knows about it because I'm an open book and don't know when to keep my idiosyncrasies to myself.  lol

What is your favorite period in history, and why?
I'm honestly not sure.  I loved History class and enjoyed learning about the World Wars and such, but I don't know...

What would be the ideal age to live to, and why?
Oh, man!  This meme sucks.  Too much thinking!  lol  I'd like to live until the day before Chebbar dies so I won't have to live without him.  However, that's rather selfish on my part, so I'd be willing to live until the day *after* he dies, but only one day: I don't want to live without him.

Who in history would you choose to spend one day with?
Again, I'm going to go with my great grandparents.  They do so much in their lives: I'd love to experience just one day, start to finish, with them (well, aside from the times that I stayed with them in the summer *wink*).

Names or faces?
Both, I guess.  Remembering names without recalling faces would be a little weird, no?

If you could have any view in the world visible from your bed, what would it be?
Probably something involving a body of water, the sun, and some trees and/or sand.

If you had to give a prize for the most sexy politician in history, who would it be?
Hmm...  Margaret Thatcher?  Hehehe

What do you think is the least erotic part of the body? The most?
Least: feet -- I hate feet.  They're ugly.  Most: mouth -- oh, the things it can do!  Kiss, lick, suck, whisper "sweet nothings"...

If you could make anyone in the world do something each day, who would that be and what would you have them do?
I would make all my loved ones tell each other that they love each other (that sounds funny, all those "each others").

If you had to name the one thing in your life that you have witnessed that best represents Goodness, what would you say?
I think I'd have to go with the banding together to pitch in and help virtual strangers online is an excellent example of goodness, trust, and faith in humanity.

If you could suddenly find out that one work of fiction was actually true, what book would you select?
The Borrowers!

If you could name the sexiest words anyone could say to you, what would they be?
"I'll make dinner, honey."

If you could put anyone you know on Prozac, who would you choose?
Co-Worker

If you could be the house cat or lap dog of any person on earth, whose would you choose to be?
Oprah's

If you had to name the one thing that most frightens you about growing old, what would it be?
Ending up alone and unloved

If you could choose your first name, what would it be?
I like the one I have, thanks.

Cotton

Flip flops

Carpet or hardwood floors?
Hardwood with area rugs

Seriously?!?  I can't pick one.

I ♥ my Mazda.

Do you have a secret crush that would shock people?
Nope: everyone knows who I have a crush on.  ;)

If you could live anywhere you wanted, where would it be (and it can't be where you are right now)?
Whoa.  That's a tough one.  Somewhere *like* where I live right now?  Not too rural, but not too city; not too far from my family/friends; mountains, lakes, trees, etc.

What is the strongest opinion you hold?
Everyone has the right to choose, be it partners, religion, abortion, etc.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told?
HA!  Like I'd admit that out loud!

What is the one thing you'd most like to change about the world?
I'd love to end the suffering.

Who have you most feared in your life?
I can't recall being honest-to-god scared of anyone. 

What is the strongest craving you get?
Touch.  And water.

What have you lost that you would most like to retrieve?
My mind?  (how original, right?  lol)  I didn't "lose" this in the sense of misplaced it, but I "lost" (read: had stolen, IMO) the 50th anniversary portrait of my great grandparents and it chaps my ass all the damned time.

Where and when have you felt most uncomfortable being nude?
Anywhere/time I've been nude?  Yeah, I don't love my body.

To date?  When we decided to give it another go.

Innocence

Growing up too soon/fast

A bathing suit 100 years ago
