Wrote It Like I Stole It….Or Something…. September 23, 2009

Filed under: Totally Stolen Meme — Bella @ 8:18 PM

I totally stole this one from Daisy, and I don’t even feel the least bit guilty!

1. Please share one middle school memory. It can be good, bad, ugly, funny. Pictures or words, I don’t care, just share.

When I met the boy, we were in 7th grade (I think) we met at a church lock in. He stole my heart right then and there. We ended up dating off and on for the next 10 years or so. He always has been, and always will be my first love.
2. What’s your favorite Beatles song? 

The one about Eleanor Rigby, or else Let it be. Honestly, I’m not a HUGE Beatles fan, I like some of their stuff, but most of it, kind of over rated.

3. If I asked you to describe your most comfortable outfit, what would it be?

Not sure, jeans and a t shirt maybe? I’ve got a lot of comfy clothes.

4. Would you rather host a party or be a guest?

It depends, I like being a guest, and I like hosting. I also, am a little neurotic, so sometimes hosting is kinda stressful for m.
5. Do you think we will move completely from traditional books to digital ones, and if we do, are you OK with that? 

I think like many things, it will be a transition that will take some time to get used to, but once used to it, I think we’ll wonder how we lived before we had them! I guess the one thing that I wonder, what will happen to libraries, and will we only be able to purchase books? If so, I guess I’m really not all about that idea, since I rarely buy books.

6. Do you learn best by reading, listening or experiencing? 

A combination of all of them, totally depends on the content of what I am learning.

 
7. If you are (or when you were) single, what is the kiss of death for you concerning the opposite sex? (That is, what is one trait or behavior or habit or anything at all that immediately turns you off from considering that person a potential match for you?) 

Dickishness. Yes, it’s a word :)

8. Snacks. Salty or sweet?

Both!
9. Look around you in a four foot radius. What object is around you that you didn’t realize was there or forgot was there? How long has it been there? 

My cloth napkins, I have no idea. Obviously a while.

10. What is your favorite Tom Cruise movie? 

Interview With A Vampire or Top Gun.

11. You buy a bottle of shampoo and discover that you don’t like what it does to your hair at all. What do you do with that full bottle? 

See if anyone I know would be able to use it.

12. Your favorite Fall comfort food?

Not sure, but it’s gonna be carb loaded!

2. When was the last time you threw up? Long time ago. Probably the last time I went out with Buddy Boy – I drank A LOT that night. Not one of my prouder moments (I puked at home, so no one would know) let’s just say my bar tab for that night was oh, about $ 80.00 and it’s usually $ 30.00 or so.

3. What’s your favorite curse word? I use the word fuck a lot, or god damn mother fucker, I like to string as many swear words as possible together. I’m sure some people think I have tourettes (Apparently spell check does not recognize this sickness).

4. Name 3 people who made you smile today? My mother, she’s insane. The nice boy at S*am’s club and the girl at S*tarbucks, only because she gave me my cup full of goodness that is the Passion Shaken Ice tea lemonade. Otherwise, she annoys the ever loving shit out of me.

34. Do you go in at a fast food place or just hit the drive thru? Totally drive thru if at all possible.

37. Last person you talked to on the phone? My friend, the one who wanted me to help her on the field trip…..yeah, sometimes I think she drinks a lot.

51. What time is it? My ‘puter says 11:23, but I know that’s not right because my clock sucks fucking balls and doesn’t keep the time right. So, it’s really probably 11:35 or something.

I had to work the rest of my shift.
