Tag Me Twice, Shame on You

Feeling: Sleepy
Reading: The Human Disguise – James O’Neal
Hearing: Adele – Someone Like You
Consuming: Dr Pepper

To be completely honest, I wasn;t planning to post another entry until after the new year…but these people keep tagging me and I figured that I need to post this entry before I have to spend a whole week answering all of the questions. In all seriousness, the site is still technically under going maintenance as I am determined to complete all of the planned content by the time the site turns 2 on May 6th. Plus, I still need to do some work on my beauty and fashion blog…and I’ve decided to not start a message board, at least not until I can find someone to help with it. Alrighty then, I’ll post what was tagged and then y’all can see my favorite Christmas gift from this year.

I was tagged by the following people: Isi, Cher, and Bhairavi. I am waiting to hear from Bhairavi about the questions she wants me to answer, so this post will be edited at that point. Alrighty then, here is the tag part of the entry. I also have to tag 11 people, so please read this entry carefully and completely to see if you’ve been tagged.

The Rules

• You must post these rules.
• Each person must post 11 things about themselves in their journal.
• Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and create eleven new questions for the people you tag to answer.
• You have to choose 11 people to tag and link them on the post.
• Go to their page and tell them you have tagged him/her.
• No tag backs.
• No “you are tagged if you are reading this.” You legitimately have to tag 11 people (as in list out their names).

The Facts

1. If I ever have children, I’d like to have 3 boys and 2 girls. The boys will be named Brendan James, Caulen Joseph, and Jamison Thomas. The girls will be named Calleigh Nichole and Addison Elizabeth.
2. I would love to have a girl Yorkie, and I’d name her Coco Baccardi – simply because I like the way that it sounds when you say it out loud. Try it.
3. I do my best thinking, reading, etc. in a warm, bubble bath. I’d probably do my best sleeping here as well, if it weren’t for that whole – drowning thing. :dead:
4. I have known how to read since I was 3 years old, and I am usually reading 3 or 4 different books at the same time.
5. I have never seen a single episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians or any other reality television show that isn’t a competition.
6. I am the only person in my immediate family – my Mom and two younger brothers – that cannot draw worth a lick.
7. I am completely and totally obsessed with weddings, despite the fact that I have never been to one.
8. I am extremely disorganized in an anal-retentive organized way. I promise that I have a system, even if it doesn’t make sense to anyone else.
9. I have discovered that I cannot go to sleep unless I drink a cup of Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Vanilla Herbal Tea, take a warm bubble bath, write in my journal, and have on a pair of warm, cozy pajamas.
10. I adore makeup and fashion, as long as both are tastefully done, and I am in the process of creating a blog to encourage girls, young ladies, to enhance their natural beauty and to not compare themselves to celebrities, the images in the media.
11. My favorite sport of all time is American football. There is something about the electricity in the air before a game, and it doesn’t matter what the stakes are.

Questions from Cher

• What’s a pet peeve of yours? Asking a person a question and not getting an answer in return.
• Can you tolerate Justin Bieber? Actually, now that he doesn’t have that dorky haircut, he’s kinda cute. Plus, his newer stuff isn’t as annoying as his song Baby.
• Which book/movie/song gets you thinking the most? Hm…the book that gets me thinking the most is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. The movie that gets me thinking the most is A Clockwork Orange, perhaps Stanley Kubrick’s greatest work. The song that gets me thinking the most is one by Billy Joel called We Didn’t Start The Fire.
• Favourite/Most interesting historical event? It is difficult for me to choose just one, so I will tell you my top three. The first one is the French Revolution, then comes the Holocaust, and the third is the American Revolution.
• What topping would you put on your froyo/ice cream/dessert? It depends on my mood…right now, I’m craving vanilla ice cream topped with hot fudge, marshmallow sauce, and graham crackers…a la s’mores.
• Which languages can you speak and which would you like to learn? Sadly, I can only speak English despite the fact that I took 4+ years of Spanish. I’d love to learn to speak Hungarian, Russian, French, German, Italian, etc.
• Which alphabet do you like most in your handwriting? Hm, I’m guessing that you mean between print and cursive…so considering that my handwriting is a combination of print and cursive, I’d have to say both.
• What does your shampoo smell like? The kind that I am currently using smells like shampoo. :lol: Sorry, but it really doesn’t smell like anything. My favorite shampoo which is Tresemmé Anti-Breakage Shampoo smells like apples.
• Where were you when you came up with your site name? I was at my old neighbor’s house, because he told me that if I could come up with the name that day, he’d pay for it and hosting.
• Favourite CSS property? I don’t know if I have one…Sorry.
• What must you have with you at all times and why? A notebook and a pencil…because I never know when inspiration for a story, a poem, a blog entry will strike me. My cell phone…because I have clingy family members and they freak out if they cannot get a hold of me.

Questions from Isi

• What do you think the “K” in K-mart stands for? It stands for Kwikee, as they stole the name from The Simpsons. They had to call it K-Mart, so they wouldn’t get sued by the creators of The Simpsons.
• When life gives you lemons, do you really make lemonade? Negatory, I make a lemon launcher and shoot them right back, screaming “Make Your Own Damn Lemonade!”
• If you were to get pregnant/get a girl pregnant, what would you do? If this were to happen, I’d totally freak out and it would be by immaculate conception.
• What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? Nothing, I’ve learned that life is too short to not do the things that you love, to not be the person that you want to be.
• When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? I definitely hope not. I have so many dreams, wishes, and desires and I will achieve all of them.
• What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world? I’d like to eliminate hatred, animosity, and fear because they are the reasons that we have all of the violence that we are currently seeing in the world today.
• Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing? At the current time, I fear that I am settling but I have realized that some of the deepest changes begin within, and that you must wait for them to come to the surface.
• If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? I don’t think that I would…simply because I believe that everything happens when it is suppose to happen.
• Would you break the law to save a loved one? There is absolutely no question that I would break the law to save a loved one. Of course, I’d also break the law to save a complete stranger or my worst enemy…every single life is precious.
• Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones? Lose all of my old memories, because I can barely remember anything from my past…so it wouldn’t make much of a difference.
• If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? Not a single person, because they’d all be out visiting other people. Plus, I imagine some of the people I’d like to visit and meet like all of my blog readers, the members of the Q*Bee, etc. will probably spend some time online.

Questions from Bhairavi

• What was your favorite show to watch as a child? Describe it a bit. (Do you still watch it now?) My favorite show to watch as a child…hm…this was a long time ago, but I’d have to say Small Wonder. The storylines revolved around V.I.C.I. (an acronym for “Voice Input Child Identicant”, pronounced Vicki), an android in the form of a 10-year-old girl, built by Ted Lawson, an engineer/inventor for United Robotronics, in an effort to assist handicapped children. The robot is taken home by Lawson so that it can mature within a family environment. V.I.C.I.’s features include superhuman strength and speed, an AC outlet under her right arm, a serial port under her left arm, and an access panel in her back. Despite this, the Lawson family tries to pass the robot off as their adopted daughter. Sadly, it was cancelled after three seasons, or I’d probably be watching it if it was still on. It’s not even showing re-runs. :cry:
• Give the chronology of your past favorite colors. Hm…I have been pretty consistent with my favorite colors, shades of blue. I’m not really picky. I remember that both my dresses for Junior Prom and Senior Prom were navy blue, and I had this really pretty pale blue turtleneck sweater from AE that I wore constantly my second or third semester of college.
• Which came first—the chicken or the egg? Explain. The egg, because there were eggs before there were chickens. Dinosaurs came from eggs! Rawr!
• Give a two-sentence review of the last movie you’ve seen. I don’t remember the last movie that I saw, which means that it wasn’t very memorable. Plus, I don’t watch that many movies, or much television in general.
• Plankton or Mr. Krabs? Gee…you want me to choose between envy and greed.¹ I’ll have to go with Plankton, because if he annoys me too much I can just step on him.
• How did you come to own a website? Pure boredom. :lol: I was in the library at college with absolutely nothing to do, and I decided to check out the now closed Geocities…the rest is history.
• What is your favorite song, and how do you relate to it? My current favorite song is So Small by Carrie Underwood. It reminds me to keep things in perspective, which I sometimes have a hard time doing.
• What’s your favorite board game and why? Candyland, Chutes and Ladders, all of the games that you play as a child. Because it’s impossible to take them seriously, and being competitive with them is almost impossible.
• Why are you special? I’m special because I answer such awesome questions like this!
• What is your favorite core subject in school? English is definitely my favorite subject, beyond Psychology, but that’s not a core subject.
• How have you been lately? Well, right now, I have a bit of a headache. Plus I’ve been really bored and unmotivated lately. I need to create a new layout for my Q*Bee quilt page.
