Tamar tagged me while I was snortin' sheetrock dust in Mississippi last week, and this is the first chance I've had to post it. It's long, but you might find something of interest here. I never tag anyone back (yes, I'm the notorious chain-letter breaker . . .), but play along if you're so inclined. Here we go:- Who is the last person you high-fived? I high-fived lots of people last week - Amanda, Ella, the Minnesota boys. Anytime that sheetrock goes up straight and with socket cutouts perfectly placed, it's high-five time. But Amanda also taught us "little five" - squish your fingers together and kinda peck the hand of the other person.
- If you were drafted into a war, would you survive? Yes. I'm obnoxious that way. Though whoever was trying to draft me would have to chase after me and drag me to boot camp first.
- Do you sleep with the TV on? No. I don't have a TV in my bedroom. The only time I would sleep with the TV on is if I forgot to turn it off in the den before going to bed.
- Have you ever drank milk out of the carton? Probably sometime in my life I have, though a specific instance doesn't come to mind.
- Have you ever won a spelling bee? No. I'm an excellent speller, but I have to write words down to spell them correctly. Spelling outloud in a competition ain't my forte.
- Have you ever been stung by a bee? Yes. Fortunately, I'm not allergic. A little wet baking soda compound has always worked for me.
- How fast can you type? Pretty fast. 60-65 wpm. Miss Spivey (8th grade typing teacher) would be so proud.
- Are you afraid of the dark? No.
- Eye color? Green
- Have you ever made out at a drive-in? Yes. Night Call Nurses. 1972. And some Burt Reynolds swamp-zombie-thing around the same time. Perhaps I've said too much . . .
- When was the last time you chose a bath over a shower? Every night. I shower every morning and relax in a bath every night before bed. Because I want to and because I can.
- Do you knock on wood? All the time. In fact, I knock on anything and pretend it's wood.
- Do you floss daily? Yes.
- Can you hula hoop? Not very well anymore. I was great at it as a kid. I think the problem is in the fact that the hoops are too small for me now and you need a certain amount of distance between a spreading waistline and the hoop to get it going. I bet if you give me a hula hoop with a 6-foot diameter, I'd be da' bomb!
- Are you good at keeping secrets? Yep.
- What do you want for Christmas? A fresh tree, a crackling fire, carols, laughter, and dear family and friends around me. (Remember, I am the Christmas Queen. Is it too early to decorate?)
- Do you know the Muffin Man? Yes, he lives in Drury Lane-o. I know the Michelin Man, too. Plus, Mr. Goodwrench and Mr. Peanut. I'm very popular.
- Do you talk in your sleep? Yes.
- Who wrote the book of love? I think it was a woman named Mabel. But the book itself is hard to find.
- Have you ever flown a kite? Yes - several times as a kid, and several times as an big girl.
- Do you wish on your fallen lashes? Yes. Right now all the wishes involve finding an affordable apartment in New York. Hm.
- Do you consider yourself successful? Yes, especially in my wealth of a loving family and friends.
- How many people are on your contact list of your cell? I hate cellphones. Hate 'em. Did I mention I hate 'em? But I do have one to use on the road. Six people are on my contact list - 2 of 'em me (home/work).
- Have you ever asked for a pony? Please. What self-respecting young girl hasn't asked for a pony? I gave it up around age 7.
- Plans for tomorrow? Work, then music rehearsal for a little cabaret entertainment we're doing for my church's centennial celebration. I hope to eat several times during the day, as well.
- Can you juggle? No - if you mean balls, pins, etc. Yes - if you mean life in general.
- Missing someone now? Not really.
- When was the last time you told someone "I love you?" Yesterday. Daughter Kate.
- And truly meant it? Of course.
- How often do you drink? Might pour myself a gin and tonic once a week. Maybe not.
- How are you feeling today? Physically fine, otherwise - stressed.
- What do you say too much? Can't think of anything off the top of my head - maybe I should ask someone around me what they think.
- Have you ever been suspended or expelled from school? No. Such a goody-two-shoes.
- What are you looking forward to? My upcoming radical life/career change.
- Have you ever crawled through a window? Many times. Sometimes for good, sometimes for - um - not so good.
- Have you ever eaten dogfood? I eaten things that tasted like I think dogfood would taste, but no. Never eaten dogfood.
- Can you handle the truth? Yeah - I gotta, don't I?
- Do you like green eggs and ham? No. The book's OK, though, Sam I Am.
- Any cool scars? Are we talking inside or outside? I have the usual appendix, knee-scrape scars, but nothing that looks like the Virgin Mary or anything.
Whew! How self-involved was that?
