So, the noble Matt from The Kingdom of Matt (*snort* see what I did there?) done tagged me. And I'm nothing if not a meme whore people pleaser. Please send comments of gratitude to my inbox, and complaints to Matt's. Thanks. ;)
1. Name someone with the same birthday as you.
Well, first and foremost, I have the honour of sharing my birthday with my grandmother. <3 Oh, and the Queen. How d'ya like them apples?
2. Where was your first kiss?
Down a hill by the wooden fence at the back of the school in the winter (snow) in grade 6. His name was Allen. He was a tool. I'm not sure of his tool status now.
3. Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else’s property?
No. The worst I did was drive the car that a friend hung out the passenger window of to very angrily throw a beer bottle at someone's driveway.
4. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?
Yup. Really long, 14-year old hormone-driven story short, a boy called me a slut (SO far from the truth it's laughable. Now.), so I hauled off and slapped him across the face. It was loud enough people heard it down the hallway and it left a nice, red hand print on his face. Evidently "slut" is a button-pusher for me.
5. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people?
Other than the obligatory elementary school Christmas concert (done as a group, BTW), no. And I haven't sung in front of a small number (one) of people since I was 12 and my mom asked me to stop singing because I sounded like a frog. (In her defence, I had a cold. And it WAS Wilson Philips I was warbling along to. So, there's that.)
6. What’s the first thing you notice about your preferred sex?
Eyes/smile
7. What really turns you off?
Liars. Cheaters. Bad breath/obviously uncared for teeth. Mouth-corner-crusties. Eye boogers.
8. What do you order at Starbucks?
Probably a mocha because it's the only thing I "know" and I only darken Starbuck's door *maybe* once a year.
9. What is your biggest mistake?
I dunno: I like to be one of those assholes who views everything as a learning experience. *ahem*
10. Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose?
Not unless tattoos count.
11. Say something totally random about yourself.
I really, really have to pee right now.
12. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?
*snort* Um, no.
13. Do you still watch kiddie movies or TV shows?
I don't watch children's cartoons, but I'll watch "adult" ones. And any animated movie is fair game.
14. Did you have braces?
*sigh* Yes. Damned orthodontist originally told me I'd have them for a year and a retainer for six months. TWO YEARS LATER (and grad pictures in the can), I was threatening to slash his tires if he didn't take them off before the banquet & dance. Still had to deal with the damned retainer for a year on top of that. H.E.L.L.
15. Are you comfortable with your height?
Kind of pointless not to be, isn't it? But yes, I am: at 5'2, I've never had a problem finding long enough pants or tall enough boyfriends.
16. What is the most romantic thing someone of the preferred sex has done for you?
Snuck down to the car after I was asleep to stick a Post-It note on my steering wheel that said "I love you" the night before my first day at a new job.
17. When do you know its love?
When you're comfortable enough to pee with the door open? I don't know. Again, one of those assholes who "just knew."
18. Do you speak any other languages?
Ihay eakspay eatgray igpay atinlay. Sadly, after four years of high school French, I retained very little.
19. Have you ever been to a tanning salon?
Yup.
20. What magazines do you read?
I have subscriptions to Chatelaine and Canadian Living (mostly because they were super cheap). When I'm feeling particularly trashy, I'll pick up a Glamor or Cosmo.
21. Have you ever ridden in a limo?
Once. With my dad. LAAAAAME. (And my sis, but she's NOT lame.)
22. Has anyone you were really close to passed away?
Yes, and very recently.
23. Do you watch MTV?
*blarglegagfrak*
24. What’s something that really annoys you?
People who scuff their feet when they walk. They're SHOES, people, not cross country skis. PICK UP YER DAMNED FEET ALREADY.
25. What’s something you really like?
Music
26. Do you like Michael Jackson?
Don't know him personally. Enjoy some of his music, though.
27. Can you dance?
If there's enough liquor involved, yes.
28. What’s the latest you have ever stayed up?
28-ish hours. And then I promptly got sick, so that happened a grand total of once.
29. Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance into the emergency room?
No, actually. *knocks wood*
30. Do you actually read these when other people fill them out?
Yes. It's an affliction of being a meme whore.
31. Tag 5 people!
Ohhhhh, man!
Sorry, guys, but IT'S THE RULES! ;)
Snarfle.
ReplyDeleteJe parle un peu de francais, aussi!
