Friday Five

1. If you had all the money in the world and could choose to own anything, what you would get and why?

I don't know. I honestly don't know. I don't have many physical things that I crave. I suppose the perfect house and my '66 red convertible corvette.

2. If you were to do something that scares you, what would it be?

Bungee jumping. It would terrify me to put my life in the hands of a bungee cord and jump head-first of a bridge or w/e but it would thrill me so much! I can't wait to do it.

3. What was your first pet?

my Smokey. ::tears::

4. What's the farthest you've traveled?

Washington, D.C. (about 400 miles from here)

5. If you were a season, which one would you be and why?

Autumn or the first few weeks of winter before it gets gray and boring. Autumn is beautiful and romantic and I am definitly romantic and I think I'm beautiful. Before it gets monotonus, winter is beautiful and tranquil and pure. And it's so picturesque.

Sunday Seven

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:
There are five letters of the alphabet not involved in hurricane names.  Apparently, no one wanted to show the love to the letters Q, U, X, Y or Z.  Pick one of those five letters and come up with seven names, male and female, that you'd use for hurricanes.  (Six names would be required for the current set of six lists, and the seventh name would be a back-up in case one of the first six needs to be retired.)

Zina.
Zachary.
Zander.
Zamir.
Zaria. (means Princess in Latin)
Zaza.
Zizi.

And that is my Sunday Seven.

Saturday Six

1. How many products throughout your home are labelled "antibacterial."

I know my soap is.

2. As a general rule, and assuming any required knocking on wood, how often do you get anything more serious than a sniffle or mild cold?

I only get sick enough to stay home from school maybe once or twice a year. And I only get a sniffle or a cold that's not allergy related a couple times a year.

3. John Scalzi ran this story about research that suggests the increased use of "antibacterial" products aren't necessary for people who are generally healthy, and might be causing the creation of "superbugs" that are resistant to antibiotics.  Are you more likely to avoid these products after reading about studies like this?

Nope. The only thing I know is antibacterial is my bath soap and I kinda have to use this brand. (It makes me less tempting to mosquitoes and I'm allergic.)

4. Take this quiz:  Will you pass the U.S. Citizenship Test?
You Passed the US Citizenship TestCongratulations - you got 9 out of 10 correct!Could You Pass the US Citizenship Test? 
5. Now that the gas prices have dropped just a little (but nowhere near enough), what's the most you've paid for a gallon of gas so far?

Weekend Assignment

Weekend Assignment #82: What was your favorite bedtime story as a child?

Extra Credit: As an adult , have you shared that favorite bedtime story with a child?

This one took me just a minute to think of the answer. I asked my dad and he couldn't remember but I *knew* I'd had one. At the same moment, it came to us both "The Selfish Giant". I loved this story and as I grew older, I realized that the little boy symbolized Christ. It's by Oscar Wilde and my story came in a book called "Hilda Boswell's Treasury of Children's Stories" and I only ever read *my* story until I was about 10. Then I discovered the rest of the book. Every story is wonderful but, the selfish giant holds a place in my heart. I did a google search and found the text online. The part that shows the little boy is a Christ figure is this: "For on the palms of the child's hands were the prints of two nails, and the prints of two nails were on the little feet.

"Who hath dared to wound thee?" cried the Giant; "tell me, that I may take my big sword and slay him."

"Nay!" answered the child; "but these are the wounds of Love."

"Who art thou?" said the Giant, and a strange awe fell on him, and he knelt before the little child.

And the child smiled on the Giant, and said to him, "You let me play once in your garden, today you shall come with me to my garden, which is Paradise."

It made me cry when I realized what it meant. But I won't get into the religion aspect of it *right now*. It was always my favorite story when I was little. I remember when I was Daddy's Little Girl and he would read it to me. Even after I learned how to read, he'd still read it to me. Oh, and I like my book better than the internet version of it. Because it's got cute little drawings and it's what was always read to me from.

Extra credit: Still a kid here peoples. But I plan on sharing the entire book with my children when I grow up.

Friday Five

School:

1.  When you were in school, favorite subject and why.

I am in school and my favorite subject changes based on the class and the teacher. I always love whatever musical classes (aka singing) I take. In eighth I LOVED social studies because my teacher was GREAT. He's also the head football coach. For a guy his age, he looks really good. Honestly. And he always teased everyone just the right amount. In ninth I loved math because I had Stewart. And he always picked on Lindz and I just the right amount and flirted-ish just the right amount and taught really well and let Lindz and I laugh and talk so long as we got our work done. And ninth grade math is mainly algebra which I love. This year, I don't particularly care for any of my classes but there's this hot guy in my English class (who I asked for the notes today instead of asking one of the girls I know in that class hehe ^_^) who makes it worth it.

2.  Were you a good student? What were your grades?

I'm a good student most of the time. If I apply myself, I can get an A. My grades range from B- to A+.

3.  Do you attend your kids Open Houses and if you don't have kids, did your parents attend your Open Houses when you were in school?

My parents really don't go to my open houses. They did when I was little but haven't in years.

4. The teacher who made the most impact on you and why.

Ummm....I'm gonna go with Mrs. Foro. She was my kindergarten and first grade teacher and I loved her. I was totally teacher's pet. Hell, she went to my birthday party when I turned 6! lol She was really nice and kind and treated me as an adult. I was really advanced as a child and she let me do first grade work in kindergarten and then some second grade work in first grade. She tailored things to my level more than most teachers would have. Another teacher that impacted me negatively was Mrs. Wonder. I had her for second grade and she is the one that made me detest school. I hated it. I firmly believe the only thing that ever challenged me all year was ONE math packet and Opprotunity. (Opprotunity was a class for advanced students grades 3-6 but because I was so unchallenged in my class and so smart-not to be concieted but I was-they let me in in the 2nd grade.) She was horrid. As wonderful as Mrs. Foro was, Mrs. Wonder was that bad (or worse).

5.  How many different elementary schools did you attend growing up?

Two. My first elementary school was K-6 and I went there til a few months into fifth. Then I moved here and went to elementary for a year. Then they had a middle school (6-8) and now I'm at the high school (9-12). So two elementaries, one middle, and one high school.

Quiz

Victoria, your lucky charm is a Good Luck Troll!

There's something about you that just brightens up a room. It's only fitting that your personal charm is as fun as your good luck charm, the Good Luck Troll.

These pot-bellied, big-eared, wild-haired, naked little creatures can lighten the mood almost as easily as you do. Whether they are perched on the end of a pencil, gazing down from the bookshelf or riding along on the dashboard, these "so-ugly-they're-cute" trolls bring good fortune to those who truly appreciate their power.

Often mentioned in the same breath as Pet Rocks, Sea Monkeys and the Slinky, Good Luck Trolls aren't just another fad rescued from oblivion. They come from the enchanted forests of Norway, where it was believed glimpsing a real troll would yield years of good luck. These miniature imitations are easy to spot and even easier to laugh at. And that's the point: nothing bad can happen when you're laughing.

Tuesday Two

THIS WEEK'S TOPIC:    LIES

QUESTION A:
Think about the last person you were dishonest with who still doesn't know you were dishonest.  What would it take to get you to admit the truth?

or

QUESTION B:
A close relative dies after having revealed that she has been lying about something that would affect the whole family...a paternity issue, for example.  Having revealed this information to you on her deathbed to clear her conscience, she makes you promise not to reveal the truth to anyone.  Would you keep that promise?


Okay, I'm goin' with question A. Now honestly, let me think about who that was. (I don't lie often.) It was probably to Lindz about Josh. She asked me how much I liked him and I said "a little". What would it take for me to admit the fact that I like him one hell of a lot? Her to back off of him and stop feeling anything for him. And stop snogging him. That's the only reason I don't tell her exactly how I feel about him or that the reason I'm so happy this afternoon is because HE HUGGED ME FOR NO REASON! Because I know she'd get jealous and defensive about it. Regardless of what she says. (Considering the circumstances, I'd think she'd lay off guys for a while but that's just me.)

Saturday Six

1. What's your favorite brand and flavor of ice cream when you go grocery shopping?  Is there any of it in your freezer right now?

Ummm..... it really depends on my mood. But there is a half gallon of this banana fudge ice cream in my freezer that's really damn good.

2. When was the last time you ate a fresh fruit as a snack rather than something not "diet friendly?"

Oh, I never eat stuff b/c it's "diet friendly". If it's good for me, that's a plus. I eat it b/c I like it. I had an apple a few days ago, I think.

3. Take this quiz:  What language should you learn?
<br ="">You Should Learn SwedishFantastisk! You're laid back about learning a language - and about life in general.
Peaceful, beautiful Sweden is ideal for you... And you won't even have to speak perfect Swedish to get around!What Language Should You Learn?

4. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #72 from Cdmmw2:  If you could relive one moment of your life and watch it (like a movie) but not interfere, what would it be?

I wouldn't want to. I mean, how akward would that be? To watch that? If I HAD to pick one, I'd probably pick one of the happier ones.

5. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #73 from Debbie:  What was something you were afraid of as a child?  Did you overcome the fear?

The dark. For the most part.

6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #74 from Anna:   If someone were to open your refrigerator right now, what item would it embarrass you most for them to find?

Umm... that's a good question. Let's go look in the damn fridge. I have to eat breakfast anyhow. The slim fast in the bottom drawer, I guess. It's been there for forever b/c it ummmm doesn't agree with my digestive system.

Weekend Assignment

Weekend Assignment #80: Share a favorite joke. Keep it clean, of course. Otherwise, go nuts.

Extra credit: Seriously: Do people think you're funny?

Oooooooo! I *just* thought of a joke for the weekend assignment.

So a duck walks into a store and asks the clerk "Got any gwapes?". The clerk replies, "We don't sell grapes." Next day, duck walks into the same store and asks the same clerk "Got any gwapes?" "We don't sell grapes." Every day for a week this happens. The clerk is getting understandly annoyed at this. One day, the duck walks in and says "Got any gwapes?" "No. We don't have any grapes. And if you ask me that one more time I'll staple your beak shut!" Next day, duck walks in. "Got any staples?" "No." "Got any gwapes?" :-)

Extra Credit: And I've been told that I'm funny but I don't see it. My humor isn't something I can plan. Like, I'm horrid at telling jokes (well, I do have a few that I can tell but they weren't appropriate for this assignment) but I can make a quick comment that'll crack everybody up.

Tuesday Two

THIS WEEK'S TOPIC:    PREMARTIAL SEX

QUESTION A:
Do you think that sex before marriage is ever acceptable?

or

QUESTION B:
If your kids should ask your thoughts on premarital sex, would you feed the need to "fudge" your answer so they wouldn't find out that you didn't follow your own advice?

Let me say here and now that I do not like these questions. I do not want to answer them and I do not feel that it's right for me personally to have an opinion on this issue. But regardless, I choose question A. This question has about a billion different facets in it. I am the product of premarital sex. My older brother is. And so is my little sister. One of my best friends is currently pregnant at 15 by way of premarital sex. For my entire life (well, as long as I've known what sex was), I've *known* that I wouldn't have sex until I was married. And now I'm slightly reconsidering. I refuse to do so unless I'm in love and unless I think I'm going to spend the rest of my life with them. I will not have a one night stand. I will not just have sex to fulfill an urge, a desire. At this point in my life, I'm hardly thinking about *kissing* let alone sex so I'll tell you when I start thinking about that. As for how I stand on the rest of the world, if you want to, I can't stop you but PLEASE know the risks and the consequences. Please be safe. Please know what you're getting yourself into. Be ready to deal with a pregnancy. Be ready to deal with STD's. Be ready to deal with all that. I don't suggest doing it but, I can't stop you. That's it for this question. This meme is over, baby!
