Stolen Meme

Stolen from Jodi.

What curse words do you use most?
The F-word.

Do you own an iPod?
Nope, and I probably never will.

5:10 am. Yes, it’s horrible!

Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?
Without a doubt, take the picture.

What was the last movie you watched?
School for Scoundrels

What cd is currently in your player?
Don’t you mean CDs? I have a six CD changer in the car, and in it: Puppy by Fluke, Panic At The Disco!, 2-CD set from Junkie XL, All The Right Reasons by Nickelback, and a Pelican album. But I just brought the changer inside today to switch out the cds so I’m not sure what I will be listening to. Probably Underworld and The Cure. :)

Do you prefer regular or chocolate milk?
I like them both. And I like skim milk.

Has anyone told you a secret this week?
Yes they have, but I can’t tell you.

When was the last time you had Starbucks?
Probably a couple of weeks ago when I had a sip of Joe’s coffee. There’s a Starbucks in the Super Target and we shop there all the time, so on weekends he often gets coffee.

Can you whistle?
Yes, but not very well.

What are you looking forward to?
If I told you, I’d have to kill you. Sign up for access to the private entries and you’ll figure it out.

Did you watch cartoons when you were little?
Who didn’t? I hated Scooby Doo and The Jetsons (sorry Jodi!), but I loved Tom and Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, and Bugs Bunny. And I still watch cartoons – Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Home Movies are two of my faves.

Yes, I have like 10 Cure t-shirts. That’s it.

Eating dinner and watching a show from the DVR.

Rockstar by Nickelback.

Last time you cried?
This weekend. Again, see private entries.

Desktop or laptop?
Desktop. I can’t stand those track pads on laptops.

Desiring any new ink?
I don’t have any tattoos and probably never will. If I did, I’d get something on the small of my back. Either a yin-yang or Cure written out ala Wish-style. But I probably won’t because I’m a wuss when it comes to pain. Besides, I think tattoos are sexy on men and not very attractive on women. Yes, that’s a double standard but so be it.

What’s the weather like?
Getting warmer. I can’t wait until Spring!

What were you doing an hour ago?
Driving home from work.

How many hours of sleep do you need to function?
I typically get 6-7 hours a night. Anything less than 6 and I feel like dying. On the weekends I like to get 8.

Usually. But it’s something easy to eat at my desk like a granola bar or instant oatmeal.

What did you do last night?
Made dinner, watched American Idol. Nothing extra exciting.

Do you use sarcasm?
Never. Why would you even think that?

Do you like mustard?
It’s ok, but it has its place, like on hot dogs mostly.

Do you sleep on your side/back/stomach?
Mostly on my left side because that keeps the acid reflux down. Sometimes on my back. Never on my stomach.

Do you watch the news?
Not often. I see stuff online but I avoid that sometimes too. Ignorance is bliss I’ve been told.

How did you get one of your scars?
I have one on my knee from when I was a teenager and I jumped into a chair we had in the basement and there was a nail sticking out of it. I also have one on my thumb from the chicken pox. I guess I scratched.

Holiday Meme

Hot chocolate all the way!

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
Wrap them, of course. They have to be a surprise.

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
Six years ago I would have said white lights because I liked things ordered and “mature”. Now I’d say colored lights because they’re more fun and festive.

4. Do you hang mistletoe?
Nope. I get all the free kisses I want every day.

5. When do you put up your decorations?
Sometime within the first two weeks of December. Any earlier and I grow sick of them by the time Christmas arrives.

Ham!

7. Favorite holiday memory as a child:
I can’t think of one in particular.

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
I have no idea. Maybe I always knew.

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
When I was a kid we’d open all our gifts on Christmas Eve, go to Midnight Mass, play with our new toys for a few hours, then sleep in the next morning before going to our grandparents’ homes. Now we still celebrate on Christmas Eve with my family and spend Christmas with each other since Joe’s family moved to Arizona.

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree?
Random ornaments all over the place! Themed trees, while pretty in the store, are rather restrictive. I like to add to the tree every year.

Dread it, hate it, want to move away from it.

No, but I’d like to learn. It looks like fun!

15. What is your favorite holiday dessert?
I’m not sure if I really have one. I’m not into pies, I eat ice cream all the time, and cookies are just ok by me. Honestly, when my grandmother was alive the thing I looked forward to most was her stuffing.

Spending time at my parents’ on Christmas Eve.
