Today&#8217;s adventure? 53 strange-ass questions about me and my food and my favorite things and randomness that just&#8230; well, yes, I did find this meme on Tumblr&#8230; why do you ask? <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>What do you put on your hotdog?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> I used to love a good dog with ketchup (yes, yes, I <i>know<\/i>, it is a cardinal dog sin), mustard, a bit of cheese, some grilled onions&#8230; Yum. These days, its just the sausage, not the ketchup or the bun. Too many grains\/sugars.<\/p>\n<li><b>Do you say Anticlimatic or Anticlimactic?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Never really thought about it. I guess I tend toward the group that adds an extra &#8220;K&#8221; sound in there. <\/p>\n<li><b>Do you check the flyers before grocery shopping?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Sometimes. Usually just the one from Karns that comes to my email box. Costco&#8217;s circular also.<\/p>\n<li><b>Blue, black, or some other color pen ink?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> 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 &#8211; gel pens, ooh, or neon or glitter ones! I love stationery.<\/p>\n<li><b>Do you use your parking brake?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Compulsively in my own green car (I miss you, baby!) but not often in Mark&#8217;s car.<\/p>\n<li><b>Look to your left. How many framed photos are on the wall?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Um&#8230; None. There&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<li><b>Do you know how to play chess?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Sort of. No. A little.<\/p>\n<li><b>How often do you clean your car&#8217;s interior?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Whenever we need to &#8211; usually because someone is going to be riding with us. LOL.<\/p>\n<li><b>Do you ever read the last page first?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Nope. I don&#8217;t like spoilers.<\/p>\n<li><b>Have you ever fallen in the shower?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Haha&#8230; twice. Once I nearly killed myself when I fell after brushing my hand against a slug (don&#8217;t ask) I didn&#8217;t see beforehand. OMG OMG OMG It was awful. <\/p>\n<li><b>One a scale of 1-10, how likely are you to swear at other drivers?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> 10. 15. 50! I freaking scream and curse and HATE other drivers.<\/p>\n<li><b>What&#8217;s the worst thing you&#8217;ve ever called someone you care about?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Er&#8230; I don&#8217;t fight like that. I don&#8217;t call names&#8230; mostly. I&#8217;ve probably whipped out the &#8220;don&#8217;t be a bitch&#8221; phrase. <\/p>\n<li><b>Do you have a Snuggie?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> *blush* Yeah, somewhere. Mom gave Mark &#038; I snuggies for Christmas back in Eburg.<\/p>\n<li><b>Are you allergic to anything?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> I used to lie and say I was allergic to strawberries because I hated them. Does that count?<\/p>\n<li><b>Do you have any TV shows on DVD?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> 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.<\/p>\n<li><b>How many times do you hit the Snooze before getting up?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> None.<\/p>\n<li><b>Ever driven away in anger?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Yup. <\/p>\n<li><b>What&#8217;s your favorite freezie color?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> I like Cherry (red), but also orange, purple&#8230; pineapple.<\/p>\n<li><b>Are you a vegetarian?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Hell no. I love animals, but I also fucking love meat. So, yeah. It won&#8217;t happen. I prefer humanely-raised meat though. <\/p>\n<li><b>Do you have a garbage can next to you? What&#8217;s on top?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Yes. A pork rind bag, a tissue, a diabetes test strip.<\/p>\n<li><b>Do you cross out mistakes or erase\/whiteout?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Both, depending on the situation. <\/p>\n<li><b>Ever torn something up that you instantly knew was too important for such treatment?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Not that I recall. I don&#8217;t act out that way.<\/p>\n<li><b>Do you think things will get better?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> 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.<\/p>\n<li><b>Do you have an unpopular opinion? What?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Depends on the company, but yeah. I&#8217;m a feminist. I&#8217;m anti-rape culture. I like Glee. I am anti-GMO and anti-factory farms, and pro-small farm, locavore, et cetera.<\/p>\n<li><b>What&#8217;s your favorite quote?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Shit. Too many to even begin to choose just one. &#8220;The sun is my prothessthor,&#8221; Super-Smart-Boy (Mark).<\/p>\n<li><b>Did you go to prom?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Senior year, yup. Stag. To the Aquarium. Junior year, nope. Planned to (stag) but my dad&#8217;s funeral was the same day.<\/p>\n<li><b>What was the most physically painful thing you&#8217;ve experienced?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> My infected tooth back in 2007, probably. The throbbing, constant agony&#8230; <\/p>\n<li><b>What&#8217;s the most emotionally painful thing you&#8217;ve ever experienced?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> &#8230;losing my dad. Almost losing my mom, and having to &#8220;pull the plug&#8221; on her per her living will&#8230; But one of the best moments was when she woke up after all.<\/p>\n<li><b>Have you ever saved someone&#8217;s life?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> &#8230;I don&#8217;t know. Mark says I saved his. If we hadn&#8217;t met when we did, he was well on his way to drinking himself into an early grave&#8230;<\/p>\n<li><b>What&#8217;s your favorite book genre?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Fantasy!<\/p>\n<li><b>Did you like &#8220;Gigli&#8221;? Be honest!<\/b><\/li>\n<p> I never saw it. I put it on my Netflix queue out of morbid curiosity, but haven&#8217;t watched yet.<\/p>\n<li><b>Have you ever walked out of a movie at the theatre?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> I remember when I was young, my parents and their friends took us older kids to see &#8220;The Karate Kid&#8221; and it was SO loud with noisy, annoying teens, that they left and demanded refunds. I think I&#8217;ve done it one other time, too, but I&#8217;m not 100% sure anymore.<\/p>\n<li><b>Do you peek between your fingers during the scary scenes?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> From behind a pillow, if we&#8217;re at home, haha.<\/p>\n<li><b>What was your reaction to Tatum getting killed whilst stuck in the pet door in Scream?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Random! &#8230;I was bummed. I liked Rose McGowan.<\/p>\n<li><b>Do dogs like you?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Always have. I love them, also.<\/p>\n<li><b>Would you say that you project an air of authority?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> 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.<\/p>\n<li><b>Do people listen when you speak?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> &#8230;no.<\/p>\n<li><b>How are your elbows? Are they okay?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Um, yes? They&#8217;re a little ashy I guess.<\/p>\n<li><b>What is one thing that you do exceptionally well? Be honest.<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Write. Kiss. <\/p>\n<li><b>Do you use torrents?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Have done. Don&#8217;t do. Much.<\/p>\n<li><b>When was the last time you paid for music?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> I bought some of Kristen Merlin&#8217;s singles during the most recent &#8220;The Voice&#8221;. And some Meghan Tonjes.<\/p>\n<li><b>Are you addicted to technology?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> I have a love-hate relationship with technology.<\/p>\n<li><b>Pick a person (you don&#8217;t need to give their name). How do you feel about them? Be as honest as you can get yourself to be.<\/b><\/li>\n<p> 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&#8230; but bad habits, rudeness, and the acquired resentment seem to remain.<\/p>\n<li><b>Do you check your computer&#8217;s dictionary for the definition of words you&#8217;d<br \/>\notherwise feel confident about using during in-person interactions? Just to be sure?<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Do you check your computer&#8217;s dictionary for the definition of words you&#8217;d otherwise feel confident about using during in-person interactions? Just to be sure?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Sometimes, I double-check because I tend to be cocky about it.<\/p>\n<li><b>How heavily to you rely on spellcheck and autocorrect?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Meh. I&#8217;m more worried about typos, because I&#8217;m really a good speller and grammatical writer.<\/p>\n<li><b>Have you ever gotten into an argument on the internet? Did you win?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> No one wins on the internet. We&#8217;re losers for indulging the urge to argue anyway.<\/p>\n<li><b>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?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Depends. If I like it (like, OiTNB when S2 premiered) I paused it. If I don&#8217;t care (like, watching a Syfy movie) I don&#8217;t bother.<\/p>\n<li><b>If you use a regular alarm clock, do you have it set to music or that obnoxious beeping?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Beeping. Music rarely woke me up.<\/p>\n<li><b>Peter Pan?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> The animated movie? Yes. The play? Not yet. The peanut butter? I prefer Jif\/Skippy\/Generic.<\/p>\n<li><b>How often do you fall up the stairs?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> Rarely. I laugh at Venna when she does. HAHA.<\/p>\n<li><b>Do you pronounce &#8220;anti&#8221; as ant-eye or ant-ee? (Example: &#8220;That scene was very anticlimactic.&#8221;)<\/b><\/li>\n<p> EYE not EE.<\/p>\n<li><b>Do you pronounce &#8220;via&#8221; as vee-uh or vie-uh? (Example: &#8220;We can get there via Tremont Street.&#8221;)<\/b><\/li>\n<p> VEE-uh.<\/p>\n<li><b>How often do you forget to close your parentheses?<\/b><\/li>\n<p> I do coding; I rarely forget to close an expression.\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jeezjosie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/signature.jpg\" alt=\"Signed, Josie\" width=\"92\" height=\"139\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13\"\/><br \/>\n<i>Note: Image is &#8220;dices&#8221; by (tijmen) from SXC.hu<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Just another weird day in the weird life of a weird girl with a weird nickname.
