Ooh, I’ve been TAGGED!
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008My friend Christy of The Daily Dish has called me IT in a game of tag! I’m supposed to answer the 10 questions below, and I’m not sure if I need to tag anyone in return… I only have about 3 readers, so hey, go ahead and fill this out if you want to! The questions and my answers….
1) You are going to be stranded, Survivor style, on a tropical island. You will have only the clothes on your back. Basic food & water will be provided. Name 3 things you would bring (and they cannot be PEOPLE).
ohhhhhh, I hate questions like this!! Does this mean I don’t need to worry about starting a fire too? So, this would be like my Desert Island Disc list?? I don’t watch Survivor, so I have no idea what I would need to actually survive! Wait, what did Tom Hanks have in Castaway? Ice Skates to crack coconuts. A Soccer Ball to talk to. And a pretty present to look at and dream about. Okay, okay, if this were a Desert Island Disc (or book or movie) list… I would bring…
Sloop John B by the Beach Boys
A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving
Rushmore
(This is of course assuming there is also some kind of electricity, or at least a hand cranked projector where I could watch a movie.)
2) Name one person (famous or not) you have a *secret crush* on and WHY.
Hmm, I already confessed my crush for NPR’s Scott Simon a few posts ago, so it’s not secret anymore… let’s see… well, actually I’ll have to go with that, because there hasn’t been anyone else floating my boat recently… And WHY? Well, I like his weekly essays. Is that too nerdy? Okay, I confess, I think Scott Simon is HOT!
3) What was the last thing you did before getting on the computer?
Watched Jeopardy!
4) Name one thing you are ashamed of about yourself.
Just one thing? I’m a procrastinator and never send out thank-you notes.
5) How long does it take you to get dressed in the morning? Outline your routine on a typical day. Feel free to mention name brand items you use – shampoos, soap, toothpaste, etc. for interest and character development.
Oh, I have not had a routine lately… but let’s see… I take an almost 20 minute shower every day. That could actually be an answer for the last question! What a water hog! But I have a hard time waking up– achy and allergies– so a long hot shower really helps! Currently, I’m using Nature’s Gate shampoo and conditioner, Jason Body Wash, Dove sensitive skin soap, St. Ives Apricot Scrub (but they changed its scent, blech). I have to use a comb that I got from Crabtree and Evelyn to get the knots out of my hair, and I use MOP Pear Detangler. If anyone has any suggestions for hair products that make your hair thicker, I’m game! At some point I brush my teeth. Then I throw on some clothes. Boring!
6) Since you all know I am food-obsessed, humor me by describing your last meal – if you could plan it.
Hmm, well, as it is normally made on New Year’s Day, this would be an ironic choice, but I guess I would like Pennsylvania Dutch Pork and Sauerkraut. With Real Mashed Potatoes, please.
7) What is your middle name? Does it have any significance?
Jane. I was named after a cat, who was named after Jane Fonda. I don’t think my mom expected to have any more kids.
8) Name one thing you have always wanted but HAVE NEVER HAD.
Ooo, a REAL vacation. You know, where you fly somewhere, and you go to a resort (or not), and you hang out on the beach for a few days or even a whole week!
9) How did you meet your spouse or s/o?
The short answer: at work.
Maybe the long answer could be another post…
;-)
10) Tell me a joke. Pictures are acceptable.x
I don’t tell jokes! But here’s a cat joke I found on the Internets for ya:
Q: What do cats read in the morning?
A: Mewspapers!
Also, since you mentioned pictures… this isn’t quite a joke, but because my internet “handle” is Laurushka, I get emails in Lithuanian for someone else named Laurushka. One time, I had this picture in my email box… along with some Lithuanian I didn’t understand. I saved the picture, but trashed the email. What do you think the joke is that goes with this picture? (Click to see the gory details!)
