Grownup Survey

This thing is going around everywhere. After I finally read my fourth one, I decided I better hop on the wagon or I may be left behind (which is usually the case, sadly)… So here she goes:

1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
The gas or electric bill. They are so flaky! One is always sky high.

2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
Fuji Japanese Restaurant? Gene and I ate Sushi. There is something so sweet and awesome about the sharing that goes on when you eat Sushi. We always order a few different rolls :) Plus its a nice, quiet restaurant. Gene and I aren’t all into overly romantic type things… we usually just want to have fun!

3. Last time you puked from drinking?
I guess a year or 2 ago. Drank 2 64oz mixed drinks at a fun place called Hawaiian Don’s. Bad mistake! I think this is the ONLY time I’ve ever thrown up from alcohol.

4. When is the last time you got drunk and danced on a bar?
Never! I usually don’t go to places that have a dance floor!

5. Name of your first grade teacher?
I can’t remember :( I don’t have a good memory.. especially THAT far back. I remember my Kindergarten teacher’s name.. Mrs. Tassin.

6. What do you really want to be doing right now?
Sleeping. I am very, very tired. I yawned throughout our entire outing tonight to Albertsons and Walmart. I really just want to go get under the covers and close my eyes.. Just thinking of it makes me smile. Like a huge relief and feeling of rest.

7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I AM grown up. I have no “real” plans. I didn’t go to college and I don’t have any special talent other than I am pretty efficient with computers. I want to be HAPPY when I grow up :) So far so good!

8. How many colleges did you attend?
Uh.. see above -none.

9. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
It’s a HUGE over sized green t-shirt that I put on when I went to Physical Torture earlier. I needed something comfy so that I could do all of my exercises and stretches with as much ease as possible.

10. GAS PRICES?
Eh, they suck. However, I do not dwell on it. I only have to gas my vehicle maybe once every 2-3 weeks. My car is the bomb when it comes to gas mileage! That and I work about 1.25 miles from my house ;)

11. If you could move anywhere and take someone with you?
I have no idea where I’d move to but I do know that I would take Gene with me. The older I get, the more secure I become with “the familiar.” So moving kind of scares me a little, even though I think it may be in our future.

12. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
I. Can’t. Move. I was soo tired. I got up at like 5 AM and had Gene close the bedroom window because it had got so cold in our bedroom. We had a quilt and down comforter on the bed and I was shivering to death!

13. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
I have no idea because I don’t even remember falling asleep. I remember I was really, really tired.

14. Favorite style of underwear?
G-String all the way baby! Wont wear anything else :) I hate thongs. I’ve tried it and I just can’t get into it.

15. Favorite style of underwear for the opposite sex?
Boxers or Boxer Briefs. Boxer Briefs have this tight, sexy thing though :D Mmmhm. Boxers are more on the “cute” side.

16. What errand/chore do you despise?
Laundry. It is really SO easy but for some reason it takes a lot out of me to get it done. And the sad thing is that Gene and I only have about 1 load per week between the two of us!

17. If you didn’t have to work, would you volunteer?
Probably. First I’d probably enjoy some time off and get things done around the house and when there was nothing else to do, I’d totally volunteer! Man.. The thought of volunteering right now makes my head spin. Where in the world do you find the time???

18. Get up early or sleep in?
I usually wake up around 9 or 10 on the weekends. Is that considered sleeping in?? I’d LIKE to get up earlier than that but I try to enjoy the sleeping in part as much as possible.

19. What is your favorite cartoon character?
All Family Guy characters! Mostly Peter and Chris.

20. Favorite NON sexual thing to do at night with a girl/guy?
Lay in bed in the complete dark and talk. Ramble on about ANY and EVERY thing. Do this for hours and then realize how late it is and Oh My God I Have To Work Tomorrow and laugh and talk some more :) Wake up the next day actually feeling refreshed instead of paralyzed by the lack of sleep.

21. Have you found real love yet?
Yes.
22. When did you first start feeling old?
This year. It hit me in quite a few ways. Mostly because Gene and I got engaged and I started really having a lot of thoughts of buying a home and having a child this year. Oh, not to mention I had ACL surgery and the doctor mentioned how I am not “that” young and my healing time would be a tad bit longer.

23. Favorite 80’s movie?
The Breakfast Club, no questions.

24. Your favorite lunch meat?
Turkey!! I love Turkey. Especially Cajun Turkey.

25. What do you get every time you go into Sam’s Club?
Jelly Beans. Great Value brand. The gourmet kind. The huge bag. Gene eats them EVERY day. My favorite is Toasted Marshmallow.

26. Beach or lake?
Beach. Not as dirty.

27. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual?
Nope. Although I will probably skip out on SOME of the traditional things.

28. How many people do you stalk on Myspace?
None. I don’t care for myspace. I usually log in once a day to see if I have any messages.

29. Favorite guilty pleasure?
French Fries. From anywhere. Any size. Any shape. Any seasoning. I don’t care – just give me some fries!

30. Favorite movie you wouldn’t want anyone to find out about?
I’m not really ashamed of any of my movie tastes. I do like to watch Disney cartoons but I don’t think that is anything to be ashamed of, like I said.

31. What’s your drink?
Amaretto Sour. Double up on the Amaretto. And two cherries, please.

32. Cowboys or Indians?
Indians, for sure.
33. Cops or Robbers?
Robbers ! I’ve never done a B&E but if someday I magically grew some balls, I totally would. Not now, of course.. but when I was younger.

34. Who from high school would you like to run into?
No one, I don’t think. I mean there are some people I wouldn’t MIND running into. But I’m not exactly searching people out. People grow up, change, move on. I’m over high school, in a huge way.

35. What radio station is your car radio tuned to right now?
I hate radio !! There is a CD in. Spitalfield. Check them out, they rock. I’m sure you could find them on the lovely Myspace.

36. Norm or Cliff?
What??

37. The Cosby Show or the Simpsons?
Simpsons but Cosby is a close second.

38. Worst relationship mistake that you wish you could take back?
I’ve been with Gene since I was 16 years old… Guess I got it right on the first try?

39. Do you like the person who sits directly across from you at work?
Malinda – yes. She is one of my VERY good friends. We have this relationship where we can usually be totally honest with each other and we both care about each other. I can tell her when she is being a bitch and vice versa. The first person I’ve met where I can get mad at them but get over it pretty quickly and hold no grudges. And I am definitely known to hold grudges! Malinda and I are both SO different and SO alike at the same time. It’s crazy!

40. If you could get away with it, who would you kill?
I’d never kill anyone. I’ve watched enough CourtTV to know that Murder is very, very bad. Well um.. I mean.. I knew it was bad before I watched it but.. it just kind of… emphasized it.

41. What famous person(s) would you like to have dinner with?
John Cusack, Peter Griffin (if he was a real person, not a cartoon character) or Chris Rock.
42. What famous person would you like to sleep with?
See, such a superficial question like this totally annoys me. Which is what usually sets me apart from all of the other females on this planet. I get annoyed by this kind of stuff!

43. Have you ever had to use a fire extinguisher for its intended purpose?
No but I did buy this shirt and can’t wait for it to come in the mail.

44. Last book you read for real?
I am in the middle of Water for Elephants. My aunt, who is a Vet in the northern Chicago area, takes care of this Author’s dogs. So far the book is REALLY great and my Aunt just sent me 2 more of her novels (Riding Lessons and Flying Changes) to read as a get well gift from my surgery.

45. Do you have a teddy bear?
I do but all of my stuffed animals reside in the dogs’ bedroom where the spare bed is. No room for that when you got me, Gene, a Great Dane and a Aussie on the bed!

46. Strangest place you have ever brushed your teeth?
This is lame but in bed. There was once where I was so tired that Gene brought me a cup and my toothbrush with toothpaste on it so that I could brush my teeth in bed. He’s a good man!

47. Somewhere in California you’ve never been and would like to go?
Anywhere north of Orange County ! San Francisco would be awesome !

48. Number of texts in a day?
None. I don’t have any on my plan so they cost me like $0.15 each to send and receive. Maybe a couple per month ?

49. At this point in your life would you rather start a new career or a new relationship?
None at this very moment. I like my job a lot and I love my man so much.

50. Do you go to church?
Nope. Gene and I have weird beliefs. We don’t necessarily disbelieve that God ever existed and stuff… We just aren’t into going into a building and worshiping and living our lives a certain way. I don’t feel comfortable getting into this whole debacle because I don’t want to start a debate. I don’t judge people who believe in certain things and I think we are all allowed to believe in what we are and that doesn’t change us as people.
