GTKY: 9.8.10

1. Do you like seafood?
I don't really like seafood that much. I like fried fish and popcorn shrimp. Basically, I like fish that doesn't taste like fish.

2. Are mermaids hot?
I think, in real life, mermaids would be super creepy, so no. I don't think mermaids are hot.

3. Have you swam in the ocean?
Swam? Is that correct? Swum? Yea, I guess it's swam. Yes, I love swimming in the ocean! The beach is my favorite place to vacation.

4. If you got stung by a jellyfish, would you let a stranger pee on you?
I wouldn't be at the beach alone. If I was, I doubt I could talk a stranger into peeing on me anyway. But yea, if I was in pain, go for it. Still gross.

5. Have you ever pee'd in the ocean?
Yes I have. Many times. The lake, too.

6. Can you make a cute fish face? (Show a pic..if you want)
Of course!

7. When you see the lobster tank at the grocery store do you just have this overwhelming urge to set them free or cook them up?
Neither. I like to tap on the glass though, which they never seem to notice.

8. Are you afraid of sharks?
Definitely. I'm afraid of anything lurking under the water that I can't see and that might want to bite me.

1. Thong or Granny Panties?
I hate thongs. Must have been invented by a man. I only wear them when I have to. But my cotton undies are SO not granny panties. Frankly, I'm offended by this question.

2. If you see a guy with his fly down, do you tell him?
Hells no. Unless it's my husband. That is way to awkward. He'll already be embarassed when he realizes it, so why should we both suffer?

3. Spanx or no Spanx?
No Spanx. I hope I never have to go there, but who knows.

4. Do you sleep in your sheets?
What? Why would I have sheets if I didn't sleep on them, or in them, or whatever? This question is weird. Yes. I sleep in my sheets...

5. What is your favorite Disney character?
I'm not 6. I don't have a favorite Disney character. I find this also to be an odd question.

6. Dream vacation spot?
Hawaii! I would love to go there on extended vacay, or live there. Really, either way.

7. What is your dream job?
Who knows. I guess right now it's nursing. But if I could do something in which I can take care of animals all day, I'd love that. Maybe working on a farm. I know, it sounds crazy, but animals are one of God's best creations in my opinion.

8. Who is your hero and why?
Jesus is my hero. He saved me. I talk to Him every day and He gets me through everything.

1. If you had to choose a country to live in besides the USA (or the country you live in), which would it be?

Wow, this is really tough. I really have no idea! My first instinct is to say somewhere that is warm and sunny with beautiful beaches. I think Ireland would be pretty amazing, too. They have the most beautiful countrysides. Plus, I love Celtic things, but I'm not wearing a kilt.

2. Which would be worse, wearing flip flops in the snow or wearing gloves in the summer?

I guess flip flops in the snow. Gardeners wear gloves in the summer. And how long would I have to wear these gloves? For a perfect melancholy personality, I find these questions very difficult to answer sometimes. I really need more info...

3. Fried or Bake and why?

Fried...hello! Do you know anything that isn't better deep fried in lots of grease? I think not.

4. If you were an entertainment reporter, which celeb would you love to interview and why?

Johnny Depp, hands down. He's artistic, he's quirky, and he's super handsome. I also respect him as a fantastic actor, and not just a pretty face. {Though that face is definitely pretty.} I love that he only chooses projects that he respects. I also love that he hates the limelight and moved to France to live a quiet life with his family. They say you should never meet your idols because you would totally end up hating them. But I'd take that chance for Johnny.

5. What was your favorite book as a preteen/teenager?

That's a hard one because I have so many. I've always loved to read more than most anything. If I had to narrow it down to just one, I think it would be To Kill a Mockingbird. I also loved Island of the Blue Dolphins and Til We Have Faces.

6. List your top 3 guilty pleasure television shows.

Hannah Montana, American Idol, Glee {though I maintain that this show is quality programming}

7. What bumper sticker slogan best describes you/your attitude/your life?

"Mean people suck."

8. If you were to join a circus - what performer would you be?

I would definitely be the horse trainer. What an awesome job that would be. Except the traveling, the carnies, the creepy circus freaks, etc. Okay, maybe not such a cool job afterall.

The questions...

1. What do you look forward to the most on the 4th of July?

Hmm. This is a tough one. I think I most look forward to spending time with family, eating lots of junk food and watching fireworks. I don't get into fireworks anymore like I used to, but it's still a staple, so in that, I am a fan.

2. Are you a hugger?

I am absolutely not a hugger. I really don't like being touched at all between the hips and shoulders. This is what it boils down to, I think. I do love hugging my husband, and family who I haven't seen in awhile, but other than that, I hate it. My mom says that even as a baby I didn't like to be snuggled. How sad for her!

3. What is your favorite BBQ'd food?

Being from the South, and of the 'perfect melancholy' personality trait, I questioned what this question even means. What is BBQ'd food? Does this mean grilled? Smoked? What? When I think "BBQ'd" I think BBQ. As in pork. Because I'm from the South. BBQ is a staple here. So I'll go with BBQ. Okay, we've beat this horse long enough.

4. Do you like to watch parades?

Does anyone over the age of 7 like to watch parades? Really? Even when I was a kid, I only liked parades for the candy and the drumline.

5. Who has stinkier farts..boys or girls?

Girls don't fart. {Who wrote this question?}

6. Vampires or Werewolves?

I would have originally said vampires, but I now must say werewolves after reading and watching the Twilight series. Jacob is amazing. That's all I need to say.

7. Do you read your horoscope?

No. I don't believe in that kind of thing, though I do believe there is some truth to the astrological signs thing.

8. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

I really don't have a favorite, per se. I have several favorites, depending on my mood--chocolate, vanilla, anything with chocolate added, and peanut butter.

The Questions

1.If you had $5,000.00 to spend on plastic surgery what would you have done?

I hate my ears. I always have. I would have them made a bit smaller. They're too big and stick out too much.

2. Do you watch Soap operas and if so what is your favorite and why?

Do reruns of Dallas count? If so, this is my favorite. I love the characters and the ridiculous things they do. Totally unrealistic, but I love it! I don't watch current soap operas. Can't stand them.

3. Favorite clothing brand?

I guess I'd have to say Old Navy.

4. An afternoon shopping spree at your favorite store or maid service for a year?

Shopping spree for sure!

5. would you ever vajazzle?

Okay, I had to look this one up. After some research, I have to say heck no! But never say never, I guess.

When I was a kid, it was Ariel from The Little Mermaid. I really can't say I have a favorite at this present juncture...lol!

7. Last movie that made you bawl your eyes out?

The Blind Side

The only bone I've ever broken was my pinky toe. That was so painful. I don't suggest it.
