And Now, A Frivolous Break

2/2/2017

5 Comments

 
Good morning, Readers!
Picture
Got this one from Wayne Regan's channel on YouTube. Click for link.
A friend of mine posted the following little quiz on their page, with the introduction being "Why not take a break from negativity...?"

And I thought, what a great idea!  So here's to a frivolous post about nothing in particular.  Feel free to copy and paste in the comments below, filling in your own answers.
1. Who are you named after?
I don't think my first name was after anyone in particular.  My middle name, however, is for my uncle; my Dad's older (oldest, I think) brother who was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident.  I was well named, I think.  I really want a motorbike.

2. Last time you cried?
It feels like I tear up every day these days, what with the news being what it is.  That said, I haven't had a good, proper cry in a really long time.  I'm about due, I think.

3. Pop or water?
You know, I much prefer water.

4. What is your favourite lunch meat?
Is bacon a lunch meat?  What is lunch meat anyway?  Is it the gross over-processed stuff that looks like sliced goo?  Is salami a lunch meat?  I like salami.

5. Longest relationship?
Three months, I think... but that was back in high school.  I don't really do relationships outside of friendships.

6. Do you still have your tonsils?
I do indeed.  Or, at least, I have no memory of having them removed.
 
7. Would you bungee jump?
Oooh... good question.  Maybe.  The idea intrigues me, but it also terrifies me.
.
8. How many years at current job?
I have been publishing my books for seven years now.  Oh man.  You'd think I'd be doing better after seven years of writing.  Hey.  Maybe this year is my lucky year.

9. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
Usually.  They're often tied so tight that I have to or they won't come off.

10. Rollercoasters?
What about them?  I'm not really keen on them, but they're better than many other rides.

11. Favourite ice cream?
Ben & Jerry's used to do a flavour called Vermonty Python, and it was coffee with salted toffee bits and pieces of chocolate.  I loved that ice cream.

12. Favourite thing to do?
Daydream.  I'm always doing it.

13. Football or baseball?
Ugh.  Neither.

14. Dress pants or Jeans?
Jeans.  Always jeans.

15. What are you listening to?
Currently, Samantha Bee talking about refugees and Trump's travel ban.  Luckily, she's funny as fuck and humanitarian, so it's not as depressing as it could be.

16. Favourite Colour?
Anything autumnal.

17. Tattoos?
Three, with more coming... if I can get the money together.

18. Married?
Ew. No.  I might change my mind in the future, but for now, I'm not entirely taken with the idea of it.

19. Hair colour?
Strawberry blonde-ish.

20. Eye colour?
Hazel-ish.

21. Favourite food?
Jesus... all of it. I love it all.

22. Scary movies or happy endings?
Uh... neither, really.  Happy endings are generally eye-roll inducing, unless they're done really well.  A satisfying ending isn't necessarily happy.

23. Android or iPhone?
I mean, I have an iPhone, but I don't really think it matters.  It's like the stupid "PC Master Race vs Consoles" or whatever.  Who cares?  Does it work?  Then it's good.

24. Chevy, Ford or Dodge?
Friesian.  I don't care about cars.

25. Favourite holiday?
It's not really a holiday, but I adore Samhain (Hallowe'en).

26. Beer or wine?
Wine.

27. Night owl or morning person?
I mean, morning, I guess, if I had to choose.

28. Favourite day of the week?
Monday. I live stream Monday nights and I'm having so much fun with it, I find I look forward to Mondays more than most days of the week.

There we go!  A bunch of frivolity for a Thursday morning.  Join me in being frivolous in the comments below!  For now, though, I'm off to get work done.

​Ciao!

1. Who are you named after?
My first name, no idea. My middle name is actually after my mom's best friend and not the normal assumption people make if they know it. True story.

2. Last time you cried?
Uhh.. recently though I can't recall when or why. I try not to be emotional over things. All it does is slow down the day.

3. Pop or water?
Well.. I suppose pop, though I'm more likely to grab a fruity drink or a tea than anything.

4. What is your favourite lunch meat?
Ham or Roast Beef.

5. Longest relationship?
Three and a half years when I was engaged.

6. Do you still have your tonsils?
I do as far as I recall.

7. Would you bungee jump?
Hellz to the no.

8. How many years at current job?
'Current job'... well I've been writing for EloTalk for four or five months now. Working on writing for a number of years on and off.. No 'standard' job at present.

9. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
Most of the time but it depends on the shoes.

10. Rollercoasters?
Also hellz to the no! The last time I was on one I had a complete and utter breakdown. The medics were trying to determine if I just solidly panicked or if something was actually wrong. It took 5 - 10 minutes to stop crying and gasping for air long enough to even speak. Another 5 or 10 to be able to walk normally again. This all took place at 6 Flags.

11. Favourite ice cream?
Chocolate Peanut Butter

12. Favourite thing to do?
Game, sing, write...

13. Football or baseball?
As a kid apparently I love baseball more than anything. I have no recollection of this. However I do really enjoy football out of these two.

14. Dress pants or Jeans?
Jeans. Though I feel important when wearing dress pants... so there's that.

15. What are you listening to?
Nothing. About to put on some music or see if PhillyD has a new video :)

16. Favourite Colour?
Purple!

17. Tattoos?
I've always wanted them. Never had the money to do it.

18. Married?
Almost but alas it wasn't meant to be. Soon? I have no idea to be honest. The idea of marriage still scares me for some irrational reason.

19. Hair colour?
Currently? A black purple. Naturally? AHHAHAHAHAHA Like I'm gonna speak of that...

20. Eye colour?
Blue :)

21. Favourite food?
Uhh.. Bacon? Steak?

22. Scary movies or happy endings?
No to scary movies. Happy endings it more depends on your definition of happy.. I enjoy thinking movies. The happy ending movies are an easy cop out and very predictable and I prefer to have movies where there's a lot more at stake.

23. Android or iPhone?
Android though I say that still owning a Blackberry Curve from a billion years ago. The reason I go with android is because Iphones are Apple products and apple products cost out the ass to fix. Also, their touch screens are very thin and tend to break easily. I want phones that have survivability because I'm not made of money. And yes, there is a difference in the quality of the touch screens.

24. Chevy, Ford or Dodge?
Dodge.

25. Favourite holiday?
Samhain/Halloween!!

26. Beer or wine?
Wine! White more specifically

27. Night owl or morning person?
Night owl. I detest mornings.

28. Favourite day of the week?
Saturday's!

:) Yes, that's why Matt and I are close friends :) Also it's why I'm protective of him. He's a great person!
