Getting To Know You...er, Me! #3

Slightly late due to the Memorial Day holiday...

1. would you rather go on a picnic or to a bbq?

This is a really hard decision.  I haven't had many occasions to go on a picnic but they seem so fun and relaxing.  A BBQ seems more exciting and someone else does the cooking.  At least, all the BBQ's I go to do.  Nobody wants to be at a BBQ where I'm the cook...especially not me.  I guess it would depend on the picnic or BBQ. 

It's a great non-answer, I know.  =)

2. would you rather go bra-less or panty-less?

Panty-less!  People would get hurt if I went bra-less.  So sad but so true.

3. would you rather go on a $5000 shopping spree at your favorite store or go on a $5000 vacation?

Really, why does one have to choose??  Right now, I'd say a $5000 vacation.  But really, I think I'd split the difference and go shopping with half for vacation clothes for the vacation I'd take with the other half.

4. would you rather eat escargot or sauteed crickets?

I would rather go hungry and not eat at all.  THANKYOUVERYMUCH! 

5. would you rather go on survivor or the amazing race?

An ex-friend swore we needed to go on the Amazing Race together and I always thought she was CRAZY!  If I had to choose, and neither was not a choice, I'd go with the Amazing Race.  I can have my BFF there and there is far more niceties there than on Survivor.  At least, that's my take considering I don't watch either.

6. would you rather be hot or cold?

This may sound crazy, but I'd much rather be hot.  I may be miserable when hot but I am far less miserable hot than when I am cold.  I am an Arizonan born and bread.  I get cold if it drops below 85 degrees.  I may have a different momentary thought when driving around in the middle of summer, with 115 degree weather, without air conditioning but I would honestly do that than have to dig my car out of snow and drive around freezing all winter.

7. would you rather go to the beach or lake?

BEACH.  Hands down!!  There is just something about the vastness of the ocean and the feel of the sand beneath my feet. 

8. would you rather not shave your legs for a month in the summer or your armpits?

I'd rather not shave my legs.  I don't know why but that is the first answer that came to mind.

1. have you ever gone to see a movie by yourself?
Yes, I have.  I started about 3 or so years ago.  I didn't do it often while I was in a relationship but now that I am single again I think I will start doing so again.  I actually like it. 



2. would you rather go through a tornado or a hurricane?

I'm thinking a hurricane but I honestly don't know.  I have more of a chance of experiencing a tornado here in AZ than a hurricane but even then it's a very slim chance.  It seems like there is far more warning time with hurricanes than there is with tornado's. 

3. have you made summer vacation plans?

Yes, this week(end) I'll be in Disneyland.  Then in July I'll be in Utah for my family reunion. 

4. what's your favorite accessory?

In the answers on the host's site she said (can't be jewelry) and if that's the case I don't have an answer.  Except I guess I do because I love scarves.  I can't wear them for most of spring and not at all in the summer, probably part of fall too.  It's just too hot for scarves in AZ most of the time, thought that does not stop me from loving them anyway.

5. have you ever been thrown a surprise party?

Yes, I think so but I can't really remember what for.  It might have been by my BFF for a grade school or Jr. High b-day.

6. are you friends with your neighbors?

No, it's too hard to make friends in apartments.  At least, at the apartments I've lived in.  Most are too annoying to want to be friends with. 

My current neighbors are men and the ones I see avoid me like the plague and the other one is either a vampire or the invisible man because I NEVER see him.  I've heard him but only seen him the day (night) he moved in.

My first apartments ended up housing the Mesa Serial Shooters so I am a bit leery of neighbors now.  They lived in the apartment next to my old 1 bedroom apartment (in the back) before I transferred to a 2 bedroom (up front).

7. what's the last movie you saw in the theater?

Something Borrowed.  It didn't have your typical romantic comedy ending.  I'm still not sure how I felt about the movie.  I liked it for the most part...I was funny...but I didn't like the ending.  Overall I felt (and still feel) very unsatisfied by the ending.

8. what's your favorite food network show?

I've never watched anything on the Food Network.  Food shows just make me hungry and frustrated.  I'm not the kind of person who is going to go try & cook what they just saw on the show.

Getting To Know You...er, Me!

I'm finally joining Mannland5 for her Getting To Know YOU linky party.  I'ts a Sunday thing but seeing as Sunday's are a bit impossible for me to post on I will be the fashionably late one and post on Monday's.  Such a rebel, I know. 

Just in case you aren't sick of THE WEDDING then here are some of my answers in honor of the Royal WEDDING that took place on Friday...



Mannland5

 1. Did you watch the royal wedding?

No, but I did end up watching coverage on Inside Edition on Saturday.  I hate that show but I was bored & got hooked.  Then I continued to get sucked in when ET came on and was also dedicated to THE WEDDING.  So while I didn’t watch THE WEDDING I watched enough that I basically watched THE WEDDING.

2. Tea and crumpets or coffee and a scone?

You know, I’ve never had crumpets or scones so I have no idea on those two.  As for tea or coffee…if we’re going hot then I’ll go with coffee.  I’m not a huge fan of hot…or cold…coffee and while I love tea, I am only a fan of iced tea.  Seems I wouldn’t make a very good English lass.

3. Who's cuter..Prince William or Prince Harry?

I was always a Prince William fan but within the last couple years Prince Harry has certainly gown into his own.  Prince Harry definitely wins in the better head of hair contest. 

4. Can you speak in a English accent?

No, I cannot speak in a English accent or any other accent for that matter.  When I get really mad at my co-worker and get worked up in doing an impersonation I can sometimes pull of a Greek accent but that’s about it.  People who talk with English accents always sound so polite, I love it.

5. Do you own a fancy hat?

In regards to the English style fancy hats... no, I own no hats even remotely close to fancy.  Considering I have never been a hat girl until recent years, and even then nothing outside of a baseball hat, I feel like I have some pretty fancy hats now…

Me & my sister, Sherri.

6. Would you rather live in a castle or an English cottage?

The first thing that came to mind was the English cottage Kate Winslet owned & Cameron Diaz rented in the movie 'The Holiday' and I LOVED that cottage.  When I think of castles I think of great & beautiful structures but they seem so cold.  English cottages seem so warm & quaint.  I’ll take warm & quaint over mammoth beauty & coldness.

7. How old were you when Prince Charles and Princess Diana got married?  Were you even born?

I believed I heard they were married in 1981 so I was 3 years old.  Until Prince William & Kate’s wedding it was the most talked about wedding, that I can remember.  I doubt I watched it while it was happening but it feels like I did.

8. Have you found your prince?

No, as I was just shoved out of Coupledom last week and was unceremoniously dumped into Singlesville again I apparently have not found my prince.  Contrary to popular Disney lore kissing frogs does not lead one to finding their prince.  Not that my (last) ex is a frog.  If anything, he’d be a fish but that doesn’t sound right.  I say fish only because he is OBSESSED with fishing…but that’s another story.
