100 QUESTIONS

Answer & post on your own blog if you'd like.:)

1. Are you young at heart, or an old soul? This is a hard question to answer...because I think I'm a little of both.  I feel young inside (well younger than I am anyway), but I also believe that I have been here a few times before. 
2. What makes someone a best friend? They love you for who you are...no matter how crazy or unloveable you may be at times.
3. What Christmas (or Hanukkah) present do you remember the most? I got a 10 speed bike when I was a freshman in High School.  Loved that thing!:)
4. Tell me about a movie/song/tv show/play/book that has changed your life. I don't know if anything like that has really changed my life...but I do love Sylvia Brownes' books.  She helps me to realize that this isn't all there is and that  we're all learning lessons here on Earth.
5. Name one physical feature that you like about yourself, and one you dislike. I like my eyes...they're green, but can sometimes look grey.  People comment on them a lot.  I don't like how much I weigh...my stomach is too big..so working on that.
6. Would you like to reconnect with any friends you’ve lost contact with? Yes there are a few that would love to talk to again.
7. What’s more important in a relationship: physical attraction or emotional connection? Without physical attraction, you're just friends (I stole that answer because it's true!)LOL  But I need an emotional connection big time as well.
8. Name a movie that you knew would be terrible just from reading the title. Had a hard time thinking of this one...but "Charlie & The Chocolate Factory" with Johnny Depp.  I love Johnny...but nothing can compare to the original and this one was just plain weird.
9. What holiday do you most look forward to? Christmas
10. How is the relationship between you and your parents? My dad passed away in January 2001...we had an OK relationship...wish we would have talked about things more.  My mom and I get along really well and I see her most every day.  We have our issues though.

13. You know at least one person named Michael. Tell me about him. I know a few of them...though have never dated any.  So will tell you about my cousin, Michael.  He is a cool guy..but had ADD (guess still does) as a child, but back then..he was just "hyper."  So, at the time, I thought he was a pain in the butt.LOL
14. Have you ever read the “missed connections” on Craigslist? Have you ever posted one, or wanted to? I have read the personals on Craigslist before and even posted on there!LOL  There are some weird people out there!  But have met a friend or two that way.  I have read "missed connections," but have never felt the need to post on that one...didn't think it would be worth my time.
15. If you could pick anywhere to live the rest of your life, where would it be? Maybe Ireland..have always wanted to go there...but a cabin the mountains sounds really nice too.
16. Can money buy happiness? I don't think it can buy happiness...but can give you peace of mind..not having to worry about bills, food, etc.  Plus would rather get over my sadness at a beautiful resort in the Bahamas, then here at home!!!LOL
17. Do you drink? Smoke? Do drugs? Why, or why not? Yes I drink when I go out..which isn't often anymore...but when I drink, I drink to get drunk!  I used to drink Tequila Sunrises (Tequila & OJ), but now I love Frozen Strawberry Margaritas or Screwdrivers (Vodka & OJ).  I don't smoke..though I tried it when I was a teenager and didn't see what the big deal was.  I have smoked pot before.  I never did the "harder" drugs, because I was too scared too...with my luck, it would have killed me the first time.

21. Do you enjoy being with only one or two friends, or with a large group of people? It depends on my mood...sometimes I just like to relax and chill out..so a couple of friends is cool..other times, I want to have more fun..so like to be around a lot of other people.
22. Do you like the type of music your parents listen to? Do your parents like the type of music you listen to?

23. Have you ever been bullied? Have you ever bullied anyone else? Yes I have been bullied and was too shy and insecure back then to do anything about it.  Mostly because of my weight.  I have tried NOT to bully anyone ever..and I hope that I succeeded.
24. If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? Crisp Bacon!!  I love the stuff!  As long as someone else cooks it for me!!LOL
25. If your partner wanted to wait until marriage before having sex, would you stay in that relationship? Probably not.  I know that I SHOULD..but I'm not going to marry someone just to have sex with them.  Then what if you DID get married without having sex first and it sucked?
26. Do you believe in a god? Yes I do.  I think that there is something more than us.  If there wasn't...well then all of this would be meaningless and I prefer not to believe that I'm just here for "the hell of it."  I WANT it to have some meaning.
27. Of all the social networks in the world, why use twitter? I have a Twitter account, but never use it.  I just think it's going overboard..Facebook can do the same as Twitter..but at least it's more interesting.  Twitter is just way too boring for me.
28. What’s your favorite hashtag to track? Have no idea what this means!
29. Would you call yourself/your family “middle class?” No...I would have to say lower class..unfortunately.

32. If you could give up your car and never have to drive again, would you? No.  I like being able to go places when I want to.  Now if I had a chauffeur..that would be different!!LOL
33. If you go back to one point in time to give advice to yourself, when would you go and what would you say? Not too long after I had my oldest...I would have told myself to tell my ex NOT to move back to our hometown.  It seemed like a good idea at the time..to be around our families..but we might still be together, if we would have just stayed away and visted every now and then. 
34. What’s your “quirkiest” habit?  It's more OCD than anything else.LOL  Have to spell out words in my head sometimes to see how many letters are in them and hate it when it's not even (I know..weird).  Before I mail a letter, I have to check the address about a zillion times to make sure it's "right."
35. What is “normal?” Are you normal? I don't even know what "normal" is.  I think that it's when you're boring and just go along with whatever everyone else is doing or saying.  No I'm not normal.  I like doing things my way and I don't need to follow everyone else..though I used to be a follower when I was a kid.
36. Someone close to you is dying. You have the choice to let this person live for 10 more years, but if you do, you cause the death of 10 strangers. You don’t have to see them die. Do you take the offer? Then in 10 years, you will be in the same position again..I think that when it's someones' time to go, then it's time to go.  I wouldn't want to be the reason that 10 other people died..whether I knew them or not.  I'm sure that the person dying wouldn't want that either.  Though it would be hard to decide if it was one of my kids.
37. What is one thing you could never forgive? If you don't forgive..it will drive you crazy..but forgetting is a whole different story.  I may have eventually "forgiven" by ex for leaving me, but I will never forget the hell he put me and our kids thru.
38. Would you rather be in a relationship after the honeymoon period ends, or be single?  I can say that I HATE being single.  The honeymoon period isn't going to last forever and the couple should know that...so I would rather be with someone I loved and who I knew had my back, then to be single.
39. Is it possible for guys and girls to be just friends?  I'm not sure.  I have tried to be "just friends" with some guys..but then get feelings for them..and they usually don't have them back..which is hard.  So I don't really think so.
40. Where do you and your friends go to hang out?  I don't have that many friends around here anymore..but the one I do have..we hang out at the park a lot with our kids.

47. What part of the past year sticks out in your mind? Well it's only May..so I guess I would have to say: When my ex told me he was putting in for a transfer to Denver to be with his girlfriend.
48. You win a scratch-off lottery game that gives you $2000 a week (after taxes) for the rest of your life. Do you keep your job? Well I don't work now.LOL  But will have to find a job soon. But NO I wouldn't keep my job if I was getting that much money a week.  My kids and I would travel a lot.
49. Could you be in a long-distance relationship? If you’re in one, what makes yours work? I was in one a long time ago and they just don't work.  You always wonder what the other person is doing or if they're cheating on you.  I can't deal with that.

54. Did you enjoy your high school prom? If you haven’t gotten there yet, do you look forward to it? If you didn’t go, why not?I didn't go to my high school prom...I wasn't popular in high school and was really insecure.  Nobody asked me and there was no way I would have asked anyone.  It used to bother me that I missed it, but not anymore.
55. What do you use more often: your intuition or logical reasoning? To be honest...I use my emotions..which isn't a good thing.  But out of those two..would have to go with intuition.
56. Do you know what makes you happy? Still trying to figure that out.

62. Often, people will ask how your last relationship ended. I want to know how it began. I had known Dave since Kingergarten..but we didn't even date in high school or really weren't even friends.  He joined the Air Force and married someone else.  They later got a divorce.  He came home for Christmas in 1996. I was at the bar where my mom was bartending on Christmas Eve and he walked in.  We didn't say much, but then I went home and called the bar to talk to him and say hey.  He told me to come back down and we were together from that point on.:)

66. Are there any childhood possessions you still hold on to? Not really.  I think I have a stuffed animal or two around and a couple of nick nacks. 
67. Give me an unpopular opinion you have. I think that Obama is the antichrist and that even if he isn't..he's an idiot.  People automatically think it's because he's black (which he isn't fully black anyway) that I don't like him, but that has nothing to do with it.  I'm not a racist.  I just believe he's a horrible person and people are following him like sheep...just like they followed Hitler.

76. Describe a person that inspires you. This is a hard one to answer...I guess I would have to say this girl I used to babysit...Allison.  She had some problems for awhile with drugs..but she got out of that.  She works out every day, looks awesome and doesn't take crap from anyone.
77. If you earn minimum wage doing what you love, would you? If I loved it, yes 
78. Do you believe in luck? If I do, I'm in serious trouble!LOL  Some people seem luckier than others..so not sure why that is.  I believe more in the universe helping out than luck.

It seems like I'm angry A LOT of the time anymore..but the last time I was REALLY angry was when we were in Denver a couple of weeks ago..got pissed off at my ex and then his girlfriends' daughter got involved...it wasn't a great thing.  I hate being accused of something that I didn't do.  If I did it, I will admit it.

82. Have you ever risked a friendship by telling someone you liked them? Yep and I have got to quit doing that...just leave it as a friendship..if it evolves on it's own to more..then cool..but I won't ever say anything about liking them again when I'm not sure how they feel about me.

87. Are you hard-headed? I don't think I am 
88. Have you ever laughed uncontrollably when it was socially inappropriate? I have to be really careful at funerals.  I think it's a nervous reaction.  When I was 8 and my fave grandpa died...my cousins started laughing at how this guy was singing and that started me laughing and I couldn't stop...very dirty looks by all the adults..but I couldn't help it.  I felt sooo bad.  Anytime I have been to a funeral after that, I have tried to sit in the back (unless it's family), because I'm afraid it will happen again...it hasn't so far.,..knock on wood.

93. Would you want to know the exact date and time you were going to die? Not only no, but HELL NO!LOL I would spend the rest of the time worrying about that day and time and wouldn't enjoy anything.  I asked an oujia board once (never mess with those things...I was young and stupid), when my mom would die (of all things) and it said June 9th..didn't say what year.  I told my younger sister and we were both freaking out that whole next year that she was going to die on that day.  She didn't.  BUT years later...my grandma died on June 9, 1999.  Creep or what?
