A Meme for Adults
1. What’s in the glove box of your car?
Change, insurance card, a pair or two of gloves, pens, and a tire pressure guage. Also extra napkins. You can never have too many.
2. Favorite classes in college (or high school):
Music.
3. Shampoo brand:
Whatever new type I’ve decided to try that month. I still haven’t found one I like enough to stick with.
4. Favorite piece of furniture you own:
Our purple sectional. It is so large and comfy. Best purchase ever! Second to that is our dining room table.
5. Idea of a really good first date:
Dinner and talking, just like our real first date, although at the time we didn’t consider it a date.
6. Favorite fruit:
Tomato.
7. Pick a passage from a favorite book:
Please. I read a lot of books but I couldn’t think of one without looking through the few books I own.
8. What would you eat for dinner if it were your last night on Earth?
* Local: Chicken breast stuffed w/ broccoli and cheese over rice.
* State: Filet mignon at Wildfire in Schaumburg, Illinois.
* National: Haven’t had any particularly thrilling fare away from home.
* International: Ditto. In fact, I’ve only been to London and I found their food to be quite tasteless.
9. Free will or destiny?
Both. It’s rather incomprehensible, but I feel like there are forces in the universe that influence our decisions, but ultimately we choose our path in life.
10. What would you sing at karaoke?
I wouldn’t, and that’s a good thing, for YOU.
11. Sweater or Sweatshirt?
I can never seem to find a sweatshirt that isn’t way too big on me, so sweater.
12. Paris, NYC, Tokyo, or Rio de Janeiro?
None of them really thrill me to be honest.
13. What do you wear to bed usually?
Sweatpants and a tank top, or shorts and a tanktop.
14. If you dyed your hair, what color would you dye it?
I do dye it, usually auburn or strawberry blonde.
15. If you went back to school, what would you study?
I have no idea, the idea of school makes me want to vomit.
16. Gum or mints?
Gum.
17. Recurring nightmares?
I haven’t had it in a long time, but I used to have this one where the highway we were driving on would suddenly turn start going up and down with loops, like a big rollercoster, and then it would abruptly end, so you’d have to shoot out over this body of water and try to make it to the other side. We never did, and the car would hit the water and start to sink and then I’d wake up.
18. Age and location of first kiss?
Fifteen by the back door of my house.
19. Describe your favorite pair of shoes:
I find most shoes uncomfortable to some degree, but I guess I’d pick gym shoes for comfort or my black low chunky heels for looks.
20. What movie/TV character do you feel like you relate to most?
J.D. on Scrubs because I’m a huge goof but I always mean well.
21. First CD purchase:
No Jacket Required by Phil Collins. Then something by The Cure to balance out my geekiness.

The Cure in 1996.
23. Do you like camping?
Hell no! I need modern amenities, particularly a functioning flushable toilet, nearby at all times.
24. If you were doomed to be mauled to death by an animal, what animal would you prefer that to be?
Gee, does it really matter? It’s going to hurt like hell regardless.
25. Do you/would you own a gun?
We don’t owe one and part of me thinks it would be nice to have one for protection but the other part of me is terrified by guns. That being said, if I learned how to handle and fire one, I’d probably be fine with having one in the house, although with kids around it has to be locked up safely which takes away the convenience of needing it should someone break in.
26. What religion would you like to know more about:
None. I’m not interested.
27. Favourite food as a kid:
Ham sandwich with Hellman’s mayonaise.
28. How many languages do you speak?
One, English. I know a little Spanish and Polish but not enough to make conversation.
29. If you were a natural disaster, would you be a tornado, hurricane, or earthquake?
Tornado.
30. If you could make one state in the U.S. just go away, which state would that be?
That’s a hard one since even one of the states I hate, Indiana, has a few redeeming qualities. I guess from what I’ve seen of it, Oklahoma can take a flying leap. Sorry Oklahomans.
31. How many prescriptions do you take?
One for my acid reflux.
32. Lake or ocean?
Ocean all the way, except when there’s a hurricane.
33. What is the worst lie you’ve ever told to get out of work, (and don’t say you’ve never lied to get out of work, because that, my friend, is a lie and you know it)?
No way am I incriminating myself here. :)
34. Do you carry a backpack, a satchel or “man bag”, tote bag, brief case, or a backpack on wheels?
I carry a purse and a tote to work daily.

Nope. Never even got a speeding ticket (knock on wood).

Of course.

A crawfish in college. It was still alive at the time, but had been anesthetized in 7-Up first.
38. Would you ever consider spending some time at a nudist colony?
No way. Ever notice that the people who are most comfortable being naked are typically the last ones who should be taking their clothes off in public? Yuck.
39. Best thing you can cook?
Hmmm …. I don’t know. Joe says everything. LOL!
40. If you were going to donate 1000 dollars to a charity, what would that be?
