11 Questions I was Asked to Answer
- What is your favorite movie? Tough one, but i’ll say The Girl Next Door.
- If you could go back and give your 16 year old self one piece of advice, what would it be? Oh my, that’s tough. I’ll have to settle for a short list. Don’t quit the swim team, the cool kids won’t matter after high school so stop worrying about it, your parents and brothers will become some of your best friends even though it doesn’t seem like it now, stick up for your brothers more.
- Why do you blog? I started when i was trying to hold myself accountable when i began running. It turned into sharing my thoughts on various things. Lately i’ve neglected it, but i’d like to get back into it.
- What did you want to be when you grew up? Are you doing that? I wanted to be a lot of things, my earliest memories are of wanting to be a writer. Not doing that, though i do try to do it for fun through blogging and writing bridge columns.
- M&M’s – plain or peanut? Peanut!!
- What was your first car? 1979 Datsun pick-up truck. Boy was it a clunker. Great car, though, lots of personality. For example, it would backfire, loudly, whenever you turned it off. I got to school an hour early every day so there wouldn’t be many kids in the parking lot to hear it.
- What is your favorite Halloween costume you’ve ever worn? You know, i can’t even remember any of my costumes except for the ghost made out of a sheet with two eye holes.
- What are your favorite blogs to read? Brazen Careerist and the blogs of friends and family.
- If you were to have a boy and a girl tomorrow, what would you name them? It would have to be Scarlet and Gray.
