    Things about me you didn't know you cared about

     
     
    What Is Weird About Me #3
     
     
    I stole this survey from Melisa  (I know no shame), Who in turn lifted it from a Pirate named PD  (By permission (and who wouldn't give permission to a pirate?)), and was later absconed by my brother  (shame is sooo overrated).
     
     
    1.  Were you named after anyone?  Nope, I’m an original
     
    2.  Are you an only child?  2 younger brothers; versions 2.0 and 3.0
     
    3.  Do you like your handwriting?  No, and I blame computers for this just as I blame calculators for my all but vanished math skills.
     
    4.  What is your favorite lunch meat?  Turkey (you are what you eat)
     
    5.  Do you have kids?  2. Actually 3 if you count the dog (she’s the best kid I have; always listens to me and greets me when I come home, simply because I’m me and not because I carry a wallet).
     
    6.  If you were another person would you be friends with you?  For some reason, I’m tripping all over this one. Too vague I guess.
     
    7.  Do you sarcasm a lot?  Have you never read my blog?
     
    8.  Do you still have your tonsils?  No, traded them in for a boat load of vanilla ice cream decades ago. The 2nd best deal I ever made!
     
    9.  Would you bungee jump?  NO, I have issues with jumping off or out of perfectly good objects.
     
    10.  What is your favorite cereal?  Cheerios (since the beginning of time)
     
    11.  Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?  NO, untying them in the deep dark of the morning to put them back on is a real eye opener
     
    12.  Do you think you are strong?  Physically yes; emotionally is debatable
     
    13.  What is your favorite ice cream?  I think I’ve already made that painfully (tonsils) clear.
     
    14.  What is the first thing you notice about people?  I always shoot for the eyes, the rest is just upholstery
     
    15.  Red or Pink?  Both; my wife looks HOT in either!
     
    16.  What is the least favorite thing about yourselfl?  I am the king of procrastination.
     
    17.  Who do you miss the most?  My dad and the missed opportunities
     
    18.  Do you want everyone to send this back to you?  Well, I stole this in the first place, but if you want to form a thief’s guild, I’m good with that.
     
    19.  What color pants and shoes are you wearing right now?  Blue jeans and brown house shoes (fancy word for slippers – hey, it’s cold outside baby!)
     
    20.  What is the last thing you ate?  McDonalds French fries (So damned addictive)
     
    21.  What are you listening to right now?  Il Divo (from off of Vallerie’s space. I’ve been listening to this same song over and over. Can’t seem to get enough of it)
     
    22.  If you were a crayon what color would you be?  Any color that is an autumn color
     
    23.  Favorite smells?  Wood fires, baking cookies, coffee in the morning, my wife’s hair
     
    24.  Who was the last person you talked on the phone to?  My wife telling me she was on her way home (snuggling awaits her)
     
    25.  Do you like the person who sent this to you?  Again, this is a stolen item, but yes she reminds me a lot of me (hey, I guess I just answered question #6)
     
    26.  Favorite sports to watch?  My wife and daughter when they are having one of their ‘Discussions’
     
    27.  Hair color?  Medium brown thanks to my parents which is mixed with grey thanks to my kids
     
    28.  Eye color?  Very very dark brown, friends tell me that they are very deep. My wife says it’s because I’m full of s#!t
     
    29.  Do you wear contacts?  I used to but just couldn’t put up with the hassle anymore
     
    30.  Favorite food?  Chinese and Pizza
     
    31.  Scary movies or happy endings?  Always been a sucker for horror movies, but I am a closet fan of the feel good flicks
     
    32.  Last movie you watched?  The Matchmaker
     
    33.  What color shirt are you wearing?  Black mock turtleneck with a heavy weight green shirt over it – hey I already told you, its cold outside!
     
    34.  Summer or Winter?  Fall, spring, winter and summer in that order
     
    35.  Hugs or Kisses?  Are we talking chocolate here or the cuddly kind? I guess that would be a 'both' and 'BOTH'
     
    36.  Favorite dessert?  Apple pie, peach pie and anything else involving vanilla, coconut or banana ice cream.
     
    37.  Most likely to respond?  My brother (if I were to send this on)
     
    38.  Least likely to respond?  The IRS
     
    39.  What book are you reading?  Currently ‘Murder Most Scottish’. I’m a sucker for anything involving Scotland
     
    40.  What is on your mouse pad?  My Mouse
     
    41.  What did you watch on TV last night?  Heroes marathon on SciFi
     
    42.  What is your favorite sound?  A wood fire, Thunder storms and the sound of wind
     
    43.  Rolling Stones or the Beatles?  Neither (and this fulfills ‘What Is Weird About Me # 3)
     
    44.  What is the furthest you've been from home?  Scotland. Hoping for a return trip soon
                                                                                                                                  
    45.  Do you have a special talent?  I would like to say writing but that’s not up to me. I would have to say for myself, it is my ability to bend Space, Time and the Truth.
     
    46.  Where were you born?  Elizabeth NJ; at least that’s what my 'adopted' parents tell me. I have evidence that I come from Mars (I read it in a book once)
     
    47. (My addition to the original list)    Who do you most resemble?  I look like a Greek God… That has seen better days

    I loved reading this.. I really love reading these whenever anyone does them.  I think it reveals a lot about a person.  The more I read the more I liked the person behind the words.  hehe.. so glad you like that song on my space.. I listen to it over and over.. for me the words... well.... they express how I really feel with issues in my life... so I dont' think I can tire of it. heheh...
      Well, today I'm going to a Jazz basketball game.... so trying to get around to visit everyone... hope all is well with you.  Vallerie

    Oh Rocky & Bullwinkle!  Bit before my time and I didn't really watch the reruns.  Though as soon as I saw the picture became clear.
     
    What parts of Scotland have you visited?  I am very jealous!  It's on my list of places I must go to.
