Comments

Ooh!

1) Favorite hobby?
Cooking totally counts. I'd say either cooking or reading.

2) How do you feel about your ex?
I'm pretty glad I married Brian and not him.

3) Do you own guns?
No.

4) What flavor do you add to your drink at Sonic?
I don't think I've been to one, either, because I don't know what this question is talking about.

5) Do you get nervous before doctor appointments?
Ugh, I hate the gyno exam, but other than that, no.

6) What do you think of hot dogs?
I'm not a huge fan most of the time.

7) Favorite Christmas song?
Carol of the bells

8) What do you prefer to drink in the morning?
Nothing. I eat oatmeal in my mug, and I have to wash it out before I start drinking water for the day.

9) Can you do push ups?
Not real ones, probably.

10) Can you do a chin up?
Oof, no.

11) What's your favorite piece of jewelry?
I always wear my wedding ring and a joined hearts necklace that Brian gave me. I also have a simple string of pearls that my grandfather gave my grandmother that I really love.

12) Do you like blue cheese?
You know, I would say no, but I had a really nice spring greens salad with blue cheese and those candied walnuts on Saturday, so I'll say yes.

13) Ever been in a car wreck?
Yeah. Once when I was little, once when my friend's brakes went out in high school, and once when my ex-boyfriend rear-ended a truck when traffic stopped suddenly. I am bad luck! (Luckily, no major injuries in any of those accidents.)

14) Do you have ADD?
I don't think so.

15) What's one trait that you hate about yourself?
I'm kinda bitchy sometimes.

17) Name 3 thoughts at this exact moment?
I don't... have three thoughts. I'm thinking about the meme.

18) Name 3 things you bought yesterday?
We bought tickets to Shrek (!), Logan bought me a Jamba, and I sent phones to my parents.

19) Name 3 drinks you regularly drink?
Water, lemonade, Sprite. And juice.

20) Current worry?
My grandmother.

21) Current hate right now?
I'll agree with you on boredom-at-work.

23) How did you bring in the New Year?
Honestly, I have no idea. My parents were really against driving on NYE, and I seem to have inherited that trait - I think we watched a movie and then went to sleep early.

24) Where would you like to be right now?
Mexico sounds nice.

25) Name three people who might complete this?
Well, no one, since I'm not going to post it. :)

26) Do you own slippers?
I do, but they have hard soles, so I only wear them outside.

27) What shirt are you wearing?
A tank top and a sweatshirt. It's cold!

28) Do you like sleeping on satin sheets?
No. High-thread count cotton is the stuff for me.

29) Can you whistle?
Badly.

31) Would you be a pirate?
I am incapable of killing, so I'd be a crappy pirate.

32) What songs do you sing in the shower?
I don't usually sing out loud, I think.

33) Favorite girl's name?
I'm really liking Jane Austen names lately.

34) Favorite boy's name?
Ditto.

35) What is in your pocket?
Nothing.

36) Last thing that made you laugh?
Brian, probably.

37) Best bed sheets as a child?
We each (my sister and I) had one set of sheets that was "ours," plus some other assorted sets, so I liked "my" sheets - white with little tiny flowers on them.

38) Worst injury?
Dislocated my kneecap and tore my meniscus pole-vaulting.

39) Do you like where you live?
I want a yard!

40) How many TVs do you have in your house?

49) What were you doing 12 AM last night?
Sleeping!

50) What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up?
Snooze!

I also used to dislike bleu cheese until I had it in a salad with candied walnuts. That seems to be the gateway to it!

And I really loved that song in Love Actually :)

[margotheangel.livejournal.com]

I've always preferred gorgonzola in salads like that, but the bleu cheese wasn't pungent at all.

[verbicide.livejournal.com]

Isn't gorgonzola also a bleu cheese? Or is it some other category?

[margotheangel.livejournal.com]

Wikipedia says it is a bleu cheese. I've always heard that gorgonzola's bleu flavor wasn't as strong as bleu cheese, so I stuck with it for that reason - but after tasting the salad on Saturday night, I don't know if it's any different.

[verbicide.livejournal.com]

Ah gotcha. The one cheese I found I didn't end up liking was Cambozola. I think it's because I find that Camembert is too strong for me. But the rest of the bleus are yummy for me now!
