From Megs:

I'm addicted to... Coffee and sugar, especially sugar in my coffee

My dream house... is clean and has no teenagers in it

Last night... I watched VH1 - Top 10 shortest Hollywood marriages, Top 40 worst DIRRTY songs, and then switched to FUSE to watch... Pants Off Dance Off... I am telling you, I was missing QUALITY TV for two years people.

There's nothing wrong with... WRITING ABOUT SEX IN YOUR JOURNAL

When I was a kid... I was well behaved, got good grades, obeyed my parents and hated sports. I was the opposite of my kids. In fact, my kids probably would have kicked my ass, haha.

This weekend I shall... Go to a swim meet, then to Aptos for rest and reading.

Well, I remember being ready to get the Friday Questions from Meg when I got to work last Friday, but I just looked at Rachael's blog and realize that I totally forgot them. So I'm going to do them today. Better late than not at all, eh?

My next pet will be named... Lord, please no more pets.

This weekend I plan to... this coming weekend? Swim in a class that has a coach there to open the pool, go to Scott's house, rest from midterms. Well, there's one more after that.

Breakfast was... today it was a sausage/egg burritto from the cafeteria - but it was so huge I only ate half of it.

Last night at 8pm I was... frantically reading Stone Butch Blues so I could take my test before the 11:55pm due date, while Wallace & Gromit shorts were playing on TV.

I deal with stress by... Avoiding it. If I can't avoid it, I will shut down and become Robot Woman and just get done what needs to get done. The emotional collapse can come later.

I forgot... to bring my professor's phone number to work so I can call her and get the essay assignment that is due Thursday.

What your favorite movie that you've seen so far this year?
Okay this is hard because I've seen hecka movies this year. I would have to go with Crash, I think. I did love Brokeback Mountain, and I loved Capote, but I think Crash was one I would (and have) watch over and over.
Favorite new musical artist?
Black Eyed Peas - I don't care if they're not considered new, they're the newest group that I like.
Jennifer or Angelina?
I'm sure Jennifer is very nice, but I love Angelina.
How often do you check your email?
Ummm... every five or ten minutes?
What are your plans for the weekend?
Swimming Saturday Morning, Gym on Sunday, get stuff together for my mom's estate, and show my son how to use the Light Rail system so he can get to his Cinequest movies on his own.
Oh, and I have an essay due Sunday evening. I need to remember that.

When you think about the next 10 years what are you most excited about?
Honestly, I'm looking forward to living my own life again and playing with grandkids.
Do you wear jewelry every day?? What kind??
I don't wear anything but a sports watch every day.
Do you prefer writing in pen or pencil? if ink, what color?
I prefer to type if at all possible. Otherwise, I prefer a mechanical pencil.
What's your skin regime?
In the shower wash with an Oil of Olay bar of soap. Then, if I remember, I have some L'Oreal cream that I put on, but I only remember sometimes.
What kind of shampoo do you use?
Now I have some new Dove shampoo for thick, colored hair. I like it a lot.
What's your favorite TV show?
Gosh. I like a lot. Heck, I'm listing them all:
The Amazing Race
Survivor
The Apprentice
Project Runway
Deadwood
Rescue Me
The L Word
And since we have mostly no TV, I only can watch those on dvd. WAAAHHHHH
What are your plans for the weekend?
Today I have THE DAY OFF!!! Tomorrow morning I have Swimming at school, and then it's off to Aptos. However, most of the weekend will be spent cramming in half my English Lit book that hasn't been receiving a lot of attention, but I have a midterm on Tuesday. *gulp*

I stole this from Catie, and mine came out almost too embarrassing to post here, but on the other hand, it's going to make Charleen laugh so hard she'll pee her pants, so therefore I have to share it:

You Should Get a PhD in Liberal Arts (like political science, literature, or philosophy)

You're a great thinker and a true philosopher. You'd make a talented professor or writer.

Yeah, this is about right... except for the eunuch part...

Mmmm.... Mai Tais are goooood

You Are a Mai Tai

You aren't a big drinker, but you'll drink if the atmosphere is festive. And when you're drunk, watch out! You're easily carried away.

Good for you! You are a simple bride!


What Kind of Bride Will You Be?
brought to you by Quizilla
Borrowed from Mocksie (the REAL bride)!

Not that I was born in 1966... I just chose some random long ago date that's all... Really I was born in... 197- 198- 1990? 1985? Something like that, heee.

Borrowed from GoldieKnox who borrowed it from BettyAlready:

Using Mapquest, how many miles is it from your house to your parents' house?

Total Est. Time: 20 minutes Total Est. Distance: 2.19 miles
Since when does it take 20 minutes to drive 2.19 miles??? Well. Not even when you actually follow that blasted 30 mph law throughout the "retirement community" my parents live in does it take me 20 minutes to get to her house. It's two miles away, People.

Google your first and last name, in quotes. How many results were found?

26. Three of them are actually me: One from my job website, and two are racing results (running). Apparently I'm also in the UT Texas Longhorn band, received an Honor's Scholarship to DeVry University, and ran some marathons (NOT!). Also, I'm a second grader who escaped a burning house. I'm thinking you shouldn't name your child after me because people with my name are doomed to have their house burned down, heh.

What room in your house is too small?

I thought and thought, and really? None. It's not a huge house, but it's roomy enough. I guess you could always have a bigger kitchen, yeah, I'd choose a bigger kitchen.

What room is too large?

None. It's not *that* big of a house, eh.

Name of your third grade teacher:

Mr. Pence. Rumor has it he was Gay. I LOVED that man. Even after he made me stand with my nose in the corner for talking. He was one of my favorite teachers EVER.

How much money did you make at your first job?

$3.15 an hour. Just in time for my raise the minimum wage was increased to $3.35. Which my raise equaled. How convenient. (And by the way? I thought I was in the bucks, man. $75 for a week of work? WHOOOOO!)

Favorite donut:

Apple fritter, every time.

Name(s) of your next door neighbor(s):

At the old burned up house, I knew all the neighbors on my street. Here? None. Across the street lives David's grandparents, but I don't know their name. Next door lives a girl Spike went to school with, I don't remember her name. One the other side is a really little girl whose name escapes me. Two house down live the evil girls that Buffy sometimes hang out with. I know their names but won't post them here. Other than those two, I know no one's names. Oh, a cat named Nikki lives across the street and loves to come into my house, does that count?

Genre of music you can't stand:
Anything AC/DC. Sorry AC/DC fans.

Last thing bid on on ebay:

My Environmental Science book.

How much cash is in your wallet:

Cash? Dude, I only have some quarters left over from the laundromat.

High School Survey, Borrowed from Mocksie:

You're a freshman. What year is it?
1980 - 1981

What were your three favorite bands?
For all of high school, right? I still loved The Beatles, and as far as bands go, I liked Air Supply and Journey.

What was your favorite outfit?
I loved all my pleated dress pants, and my favorite shirt was a sky blue blouse with tuxedo shirt pleats and a black ribbon around the collar.
Trust me, in 1983 it was cool.

What was up with your hair?

Aqua net, that's what. I got up 90 minutes early just to wash it, blow dry it, and painstakingly curl every single strand of hair back, comb it feathered back to Perfection, and shellaq it with Aqua Net.
Sorry, I don't know how to spell shellaque, whatever.

Who were your best friends?
Charleen and Renee. Sometimes Tricia. That's it as far as best friends.

What did you do after school?
Oh, BAND PRACTICE. And MORE Band Practice. And MORE. And MORE.

Where did you work?
I didn't get a job until I finished high school. As soon as I graduated I got a job at Petrie's clothing store.

Did you take the bus?
Nope, I walked the mile or two carrying a tenor saxaphone the whole way. My junior year I had my license and could drive, except for periods of time after I had wrecked the car/truck.

Who did you have a crush on?
Paul M. Everyone had a crush on Paul M.

Did you fight with your parents?
Fight? Hell no. I had never been hit by them, other than spankings as a small child, but I'm pretty sure I would have been hit if I had talked back as a teenager.

Who did you have a CELEBRITY crush on?
Heh. Michael Jackson. Stop laughing. It was the BLACK Michael Jackson. He was cool. I swear. Stop laughing now.

Did you smoke cigarettes?
Nope, never smoked a cigarette in my life.

Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack all day because you were too nervous to find your locker?
HAH! This is where there's a big difference from when I was in high school. Only dweebs and nerds had backpacks when I was in high school!!! Usually not even THEY were dweeby enough to have a backpack! We ALWAYS used our lockers and carried our books by hand. These days high schools around here don't even provide lockers.

Did you have a 'clique'?
I had lots of cliques, usually organized around band members. Charleen/Renee/Tricia/Jill/Louie. Eric/Robert/Robert/Sherwin. Filipino girls in the library who hid me out when crazy Darlene wanted to kill me for... whatever, I never even LOOKED at her boyfriend, and in that instance it was the truth!

Did you have a "Max" like Zach, Kelly and Slater?
What the hell is this question about???

Admit it, were you popular?
I was probably as popular as a band member gets. I actually was more popular than I wanted to be - I was a quiet, book & music (and boy) loving girl, and I didn't like to be around people ALL THE FREAKING TIME, but wherever I was, there were little geeky boys wanting to sit with me. No, I don't think I was popular. But I was liked well enough.

Who did you want to be just like?
Hmmmm... I kinda liked myself... but I also wanted to be popular like Julie C. who ran cross country and was nice, Valerie who I hated but all the boys somehow thought she had fantastic legs (Whatever!), or Yvette who wasn't really pretty at all but still was wildly popular.

What did you want to be when you grew up?
A musician or a writer.

You Were Nice This Year!

You're an uber-perfect person who is on the top of Santa's list. You probably didn't even *think* any naughty thoughts this year. Unless you're a Mormon, you've probably been a little too good. Is that extra candy cane worth being a sweetheart for 365 days straight?

Borrowed from Mocksie

I got this over at Mocksie's and I totally agree with it:

I am a hybrid of: Academic Girl Progressive Girl Click on the pictures below to read more: Take the 'What Kind of Girl Are You?' quiz at CookingToHookup.com

Okay, before I clean the kitchen I'll play "What's On... Now?"

What's on my bathroom counter right now?

A mirrored stand that holds lotions and bath salts and stuff.
Toothbrush holder with 2 toothbrushes.
Two china bowls from Japan, one holds cotton balls one holds Q-tips.
My "love sticks" that Anenigma sent me.
A little framed Post-It that Scott wrote "Hi, Miss you! Love, Scott"
A silver necklace from Eliza that has a little pink flower hanging on it.
Two curling irons, one slim, one thick with a brush.
One hand towel.
Two hand made hemp necklaces that Moxie made me.

That sounds like a lot of stuff, but it's a big counter and very very neat.

I got this quiz at Reality's, and I thought I would do it too. The only thing is, I can't open two windows at a time, so I cannot link to everyone. But all the people I mention are over on my blogroll on the bottom right.

1. What blogger inspired you to FINALLY start a blog?
I really really don't remember. I would think probably Kim, but I don't remember... was I the first of our little "group"?

Every single day I visit Itsy, Lanie, Megs, Mocksie and Kim.

3. What blogger do you think you have the most in common with?

21. How many blogs are on your blogroll(s)?
Don't know, can't open another window to count, just look down on the right.

Okay, what I learned from that quiz: I have my own little group of friends, and that's why I like reading those blogs. I love and trust and enjoy everyone on my blogroll, otherwise you wouldn't be on there! And even though I mentioned a few of you over and over - that's because they've been my friends the longest, I'm closest to them. But like I said, if I didn't like you you wouldn't be on my list.

1. Do you go to church on Easter? Usually, yes. Today we were too tired from yesterday and I'm still not feeling great, so we voted to stay home and relax.

2. Did you parents always get you a basket? Until what age? I think my parents got me a basket until I moved out, when I was 21. I told Buffy yesterday that she'll continue to get one as long as she lives here.

3. Do you color eggs? How many this year? Yes, we ALWAYS color them. I get 12-18 eggs for each kid, and 2 different coloring boxes. We love boiled eggs and egg sandwiches, so no eggs go to waste.

4. Do you have Easter Egg hunts still? Yep, the kids LOVE hunts. I give the the plastic eggs and they spend all morning hiding them for each other. Sometimes we put our extra change inside them for a bonus.

5. Easter Grass: Fun or Evil? EVIL. We NEVER have grass in our baskets.

6. Jelly Beans: Yummy or A Waste of Basket Space? WASTE. When I was a kid jelly beans would just piss me off. They could have been malted milk balls! M&Ms!! Anything but jelly beans!!! They were like the price you had to pay to get your basket.

7. Peeps: Your Favorite or Gross & Disgusting? I hate peeps. Totally. My kids love them though.

8. Cadbury Eggs: Your Favorite or Gross & Disgusting? FAVORITE. All that sugar now hurts my teeth though.

9. Do you get new clothes to wear on Easter? Sometimes, yes. Sometimes the money issue prevents us, but we always dress nice.

10. What are you having for dinner tonight? My mom is making LASAGNA!!!

Bonus Post an Easter Picture if you are able.

I taste like Bread. I am a staple in almost everyone's diet. Friends like me are a complement to any other friends I get on with almost everyone, remaining mostly in the background, but providing substance when it would otherwise be lacking. What Flavour Are You?

You Have Magical Boobs!

Your boobs have a total hyponotic effect on men

Your breasts are perky, shapely, and just the right size
You'll use them to your advantage, if you're wise
