Man on the Moon

1. Do you think it was important to send a man to the moon?

In terms of us learning so much more about our universe and planet, yes. Otherwise, it was a really giant waste of money.

2. What is your biggest fear?

Being found out.

3. If someone hung a sign around your neck today, what would it say and why?

"Wait till the last minute much??"

4. What is the longest line that you've stood in and was it worth it?

Dumbo @ DisneyWorld, for the second time. No. Well, ok, Sparky's face almost made it worthwhile.

5. As the holidays approach, what song are looking forward to hearing again?

"Do They Know It's Christmas" (Feed the World)

6. Whose music do you think is the most important of your generation's?

Uhm, hello: U2!

7. Do you find it is hard to be kind to strangers? Give an example.

No, it's almost easier: you don't have to be around them afterwards to deal with the fallout!

8. When do usually lose your patience?

Having had to repeat myself at least three times to an idiot usually does it for me.

9. Is there a book that you're dying to see as a movie?

Only those books I hate would I want to see as a movie, and even then...I wouldn't. The movie rarely gets it right.

Saturday 6

1. What is the last thing you purchased for yourself, other than basics like groceries?

Sadly, I fear it was laundry baskets this afternoon at Farm & Fleet (along with Mason jars for a youth group thing at church). My life is pretty prosaic. I did buy nylons to wear with a skirt last Sunday at my mom's memorial service....does that count? And a T-shirt from Red Rocks thus proving myself no longer a native, but a lousy tourist. Sigh....

2. What is the last thing you purchased for someone else?

Guinea pig food, along with the laundry baskets and youth group stuff. Unless the youth group stuff counts as "someone else"?

3. If you were to win a lottery, what is the first charity you’d donate to?

Easy: CAI. In my mom's name.

4. If you won that lottery, what is the first "luxury" you’d buy for yourself?

Does paying off the mortgage count? That would be a luxurious moment: being 100% debt-free. After that, maybe a new car...?

5. Take the quiz: Do You Put Yourself First or Last?

Before I even took the quiz, I was pretty sure of the result...

You Put Yourself Somewhere in the Middle

You've gotten quite good at not putting yourself last, but you don't ever seem to manage to put yourself first. You manage to get by, but sometimes you can't help but feel like stress is getting the better of you. While you may not be able to put yourself first all the time, give it a try every so often. It may be hard to do, but it's really just as simple as saying "no" more often. The world will be fine without you, even if you drop out for a day.

Do You Put Yourself First or Last?

Blogthings: Learn Something Surprising About Yourself

Better than I expected, honestly.

6. When is the last time you spent an entire weekend putting yourself first?

Last weekend might count. Before that...months. At least.

And wasn't this just really freakin' depressing.... sigh

You Should Have Wavy Hair

You are laid back, friendly, and carefree. You really can't get too hung up on anything as silly as your hair. You truly enjoy yourself, and you have a natural charisma. People love to flirt with you. You are casual, low maintenance, and even a little careless. No one would accuse you of being uptight! You don't have a lot of rules or expectations in your life. You are flying blind and ending up in some pretty interesting places.

Should You Have Straight Hair or Curly Hair?

Blogthings: A Fine Line Between Insight and Stupidity

Right. Or rather, pretty close to dead wrong.

2. What I look forward to most on Thanksgiving is seeing family, eating like a starving person, and laughing a lot. (if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, insert your favorite holiday)
3. My Christmas/holiday shopping is not particularly started.
4. Thoughts of the things I need to get done this weekend fill my head.
5. I wish I could wear the same size clothes I did 20 years ago.
6. Bagpipes ROCK! I need to learn how to play them.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to seeing Beast again, tomorrow my plans include making templates for Sunday's fundraiser, cleaning, and generally tidying up the house, and Sunday, I want to give MEM a good sendoff at her party!

Shapes

1. What is your favorite shape of pasta?

I like shells. Any size, just shells. They always seem fancy to me.

2. Which of the Lucky Charms marshmallows is (or was) your favorite? [link provided for our non-U.S. friends]

Grrreeeen cloooverrrs, of course.

3. Of people you know who are older than forty, who’s in the best shape?

Well, Christopher, of course. No one else I know is in that kind of shape!!

4. What shape is one of the more interesting scars on your body?

The only interesting scar I have is my abdominal zipper. Proof that doctors don't really know what the fuck they are doing, and that I was right and they weren't paying attention.

5. Of a human’s internal organs, which you think has the most interesting shape?

Ah-roo? I guess I'm rather fond of lungs.

You wouldn't be caught dead, where?

You Are a Chicken

You are a very observant and even snoopy creature. You are curious about the world, and you're always aware of what's going on. And while you're interested in the world around you, you are also very private. You are protective of your personal space, and you don't like it when you feel like your boundaries are being crossed. You can get along with others, even in a big group, as long as you're able to maintain your uniqueness and individuality.

You Are Bubblegum Flavored Toothpaste

You are impulsive about most things in life, and you can't say no to fun! You are always in search of a new adventure. You try to lighten up every task and bring a little zing to your day. You like whimsical little treats, like bubblegum. Like everyone else, you have your struggles and problems in life. Unlike everyone else, you don't let the difficulty of life get you down. The world may be a harsh place, but knowing that that you can [or at least trying to] bring sunshine into other people's lives keeps you going.

Blogthings: We Have a Quiz for Almost Everything

Yeah, I don't think so. The mere thought of bubblegum toothpaste...shudder.+ + + + + + +

Your Fashion Style is Casual

You prefer to keep it laid back. Jeans and a t-shirt are practically your uniform. And when you dress up, you're still the most informal person in the room. Dressing formally makes you feel stuffy. Just because you're casual, it doesn't mean you're unfashionable. In fact, you often look effortlessly chic. You know how to rock a perfect fitting pair of jeans and a funky t-shirt. Not many adults can pull off your look, but you can!
