Sunday Stealing: The Basically Obscure Meme-Part 2
21: Would you swear in front of your parents. I did. It used to amuse/annoy me to discover what they (esp my dad) thought was acceptable language and what was offensive. "Fag" is OK, but "shit" is bad? Not in my world.
22: Which continents have you been on? Europe and North America
23: Do you get motion sickness? Any horror stories? I'm lucky enough to not suffer from motion sickness
24: Why did you name your blog whatever you named your blog? It was available
25: Would you wear a rainbow jacket? A neon yellow sweater? Checkered pants? No
26: What was your favorite cartoon growing up? Post a picture if you can. I was a massive fan of Mr. Peabody and his boy, Sherman. Rumor has it a full-length, animated movie is in the works, with Stephen Colbert voicing Mr. Peabody. YEA!
27: In a past life I must have been a... very bad girl, hence my current monastic existence.
28: If you had to look at one city skyline for the rest of your life, which would it be? The one I'm blessed to gaze upon each day suits me fine. Behold Chicago from the Lake.
29: Longest plane ride you've ever been on? To Hawaii. It was actually a longer flight than the one to Paris. Go figure.
30: The longest you've ever slept? I don't recall any spectacular, marathon sleeps. Though everytime I have been sick that's how I've healed, by sleeping and napping.
31: Would you buy a sweater covered in kitten pictures? Would you wear it if someone gave it you for free? Considering that I wore a "Purrrrfect Harmony" sweatshirt from the local animal shelter just yesterday, I'd say the answer is yes.
32: Do you pluck your eyebrows? Yes.
33: Favorite kind of bean? Kidney? Black? Pinto? Sculptural. This is Chicago Millennium Park's Cloud Gate, but everyone knows it as "The Bean." It's so cool and I love it.
34: How far can you throw a baseball? I've never tried. I am a legendarily bad softball player, and I assume I'd be no better at baseball.
35: If you had to move to another country, where would you move? Canada.
36: Have you ever eaten Ethiopian food? Vietnamese? Korean? Nepalese? How was it? The only one of these I've had is Vietnamese and it's always been "fused" with another type of cuisine. But its always been fine.
37: How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Quick! Someone grab an iPhone! For this is a question for Siri.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
LOVE your answer to #1 especially, but all of them, really. :) As always!
ReplyDeleteMr Peabody and Sherman, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Classics. Love your answers.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to #27. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteChicago's Bean is very cool! I want to see it in person some day! I hope they do make a Mr. Peabody movie, I would go see it opening night!
ReplyDeleteThat Siri, she's awesome. And LOVE the Bean! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's my favorite bean, too. I've gotten so many great shots of and around it.
