Just another weird day in the weird life of a weird girl with a weird nickname. Today’s adventure? 53 strange-ass questions about me and my food and my favorite things and randomness that just… well, yes, I did find this meme on Tumblr… why do you ask?

• What do you put on your hotdog?

I used to love a good dog with ketchup (yes, yes, I know, it is a cardinal dog sin), mustard, a bit of cheese, some grilled onions… Yum. These days, its just the sausage, not the ketchup or the bun. Too many grains/sugars.

• Do you say Anticlimatic or Anticlimactic?

Never really thought about it. I guess I tend toward the group that adds an extra “K” sound in there.

• Do you check the flyers before grocery shopping?

Sometimes. Usually just the one from Karns that comes to my email box. Costco’s circular also.

• Blue, black, or some other color pen ink?

Blue, usually, for most things. I like the contrast of blue on the paper. But then again, I will use pretty colored pens for letters – gel pens, ooh, or neon or glitter ones! I love stationery.

• Do you use your parking brake?

Compulsively in my own green car (I miss you, baby!) but not often in Mark’s car.

• Look to your left. How many framed photos are on the wall?

Um… None. There’s a book case with lots of books, then a doorway into the kitchen/dining room, and in there? No framed photos. Behind me, on the other bookcase, there are about six.

• Do you know how to play chess?

Sort of. No. A little.

• How often do you clean your car’s interior?

Whenever we need to – usually because someone is going to be riding with us. LOL.

• Do you ever read the last page first?

Nope. I don’t like spoilers.

• Have you ever fallen in the shower?

Haha… twice. Once I nearly killed myself when I fell after brushing my hand against a slug (don’t ask) I didn’t see beforehand. OMG OMG OMG It was awful.

• One a scale of 1-10, how likely are you to swear at other drivers?

10. 15. 50! I freaking scream and curse and HATE other drivers.

• What’s the worst thing you’ve ever called someone you care about?

Er… I don’t fight like that. I don’t call names… mostly. I’ve probably whipped out the “don’t be a bitch” phrase.

• Do you have a Snuggie?

*blush* Yeah, somewhere. Mom gave Mark & I snuggies for Christmas back in Eburg.

• Are you allergic to anything?

I used to lie and say I was allergic to strawberries because I hated them. Does that count?

• Do you have any TV shows on DVD?

Yup. We have a season or two of LOST, most of if not all the Slayers, something else. Mostly, we stopped buying DVDs ages ago and stick to Netflix.

• How many times do you hit the Snooze before getting up?

None.

• Ever driven away in anger?

Yup.

• What’s your favorite freezie color?

I like Cherry (red), but also orange, purple… pineapple.

• Are you a vegetarian?

Hell no. I love animals, but I also fucking love meat. So, yeah. It won’t happen. I prefer humanely-raised meat though.

• Do you have a garbage can next to you? What’s on top?

Yes. A pork rind bag, a tissue, a diabetes test strip.

• Do you cross out mistakes or erase/whiteout?

Both, depending on the situation.

• Ever torn something up that you instantly knew was too important for such treatment?

Not that I recall. I don’t act out that way.

• Do you think things will get better?

Yeah. I mean, I think our financial situation will improve. I think our living situation will improve. I think my weight situation will improve. I think my health will improve. I think the government and society and all that jazz, is only going down before it goes up.

• Do you have an unpopular opinion? What?

Depends on the company, but yeah. I’m a feminist. I’m anti-rape culture. I like Glee. I am anti-GMO and anti-factory farms, and pro-small farm, locavore, et cetera.

• What’s your favorite quote?

Shit. Too many to even begin to choose just one. “The sun is my prothessthor,” Super-Smart-Boy (Mark).

• Did you go to prom?

Senior year, yup. Stag. To the Aquarium. Junior year, nope. Planned to (stag) but my dad’s funeral was the same day.

• What was the most physically painful thing you’ve experienced?

My infected tooth back in 2007, probably. The throbbing, constant agony…

• What’s the most emotionally painful thing you’ve ever experienced?

…losing my dad. Almost losing my mom, and having to “pull the plug” on her per her living will… But one of the best moments was when she woke up after all.

• Have you ever saved someone’s life?

…I don’t know. Mark says I saved his. If we hadn’t met when we did, he was well on his way to drinking himself into an early grave…

• What’s your favorite book genre?

Fantasy!

• Did you like “Gigli”? Be honest!

I never saw it. I put it on my Netflix queue out of morbid curiosity, but haven’t watched yet.

• Have you ever walked out of a movie at the theatre?

I remember when I was young, my parents and their friends took us older kids to see “The Karate Kid” and it was SO loud with noisy, annoying teens, that they left and demanded refunds. I think I’ve done it one other time, too, but I’m not 100% sure anymore.

• Do you peek between your fingers during the scary scenes?

From behind a pillow, if we’re at home, haha.

• What was your reaction to Tatum getting killed whilst stuck in the pet door in Scream?

Random! …I was bummed. I liked Rose McGowan.

• Do dogs like you?

Always have. I love them, also.

• Would you say that you project an air of authority?

Situationally, yes. Some calls at work, in particular, I am a master. And other calls, I am so good at bullshitting, that yes. But other times? Nope.

• Do people listen when you speak?

…no.

• How are your elbows? Are they okay?

Um, yes? They’re a little ashy I guess.

• What is one thing that you do exceptionally well? Be honest.

Write. Kiss.

• Do you use torrents?

Have done. Don’t do. Much.

• When was the last time you paid for music?

I bought some of Kristen Merlin’s singles during the most recent “The Voice”. And some Meghan Tonjes.

• Are you addicted to technology?

I have a love-hate relationship with technology.

• Pick a person (you don’t need to give their name). How do you feel about them? Be as honest as you can get yourself to be.

I had high hopes for this person. When a life change finally arrived, I was hoping that the distance he/she had created would be bridged… but bad habits, rudeness, and the acquired resentment seem to remain.

• Do you check your computer’s dictionary for the definition of words you’d
  otherwise feel confident about using during in-person interactions? Just to be sure?
• Do you check your computer’s dictionary for the definition of words you’d otherwise feel confident about using during in-person interactions? Just to be sure?

Sometimes, I double-check because I tend to be cocky about it.

• How heavily to you rely on spellcheck and autocorrect?

Meh. I’m more worried about typos, because I’m really a good speller and grammatical writer.

• Have you ever gotten into an argument on the internet? Did you win?

No one wins on the internet. We’re losers for indulging the urge to argue anyway.

• Do you pause movies/TV shows if you have to go to the bathroom or the kitchen, or do you just let them keep playing?

Depends. If I like it (like, OiTNB when S2 premiered) I paused it. If I don’t care (like, watching a Syfy movie) I don’t bother.

• If you use a regular alarm clock, do you have it set to music or that obnoxious beeping?

Beeping. Music rarely woke me up.

• Peter Pan?

The animated movie? Yes. The play? Not yet. The peanut butter? I prefer Jif/Skippy/Generic.

• How often do you fall up the stairs?

Rarely. I laugh at Venna when she does. HAHA.

• Do you pronounce “anti” as ant-eye or ant-ee? (Example: “That scene was very anticlimactic.”)

EYE not EE.

• Do you pronounce “via” as vee-uh or vie-uh? (Example: “We can get there via Tremont Street.”)

VEE-uh.

• How often do you forget to close your parentheses?

I do coding; I rarely forget to close an expression.
