Midweek Mind Hump Meme

Apple pie or pumpkin pie?
- Wow, tough choice. If I had both in front of me, I'd go with pumpkin. But I'd steal a bite of the apple. Heehee.

Cars or SUVs?
- Well, since I drive an SUV, that's my answer. But I will be in the market for a new automobile (I can't say the word 'automobile' without thinking of Long Duck Dong from the movie "Sixteen Candles", hahahaha) soon, and I will be looking at both SUV's and cars.

Pen or pencil?
-Pen. Blue ink.

Electric guitar or acoustic guitar?
- No preference. I guess it depends on the song.

Shower or bath?
- Showers. I only wish I had time for baths.

Daffy Duck or Yogi Bear?
- Yogi.

Butter on a biscuit or jam on a biscuit?
- If it's with breakfast, then BOTH. So good. Otherwise, just buttah.

Bringing sexy back or dropping it like it's hot?
- I'm not sure what the choice is here. If it's which phrase do I prefer, it's the first one. If it's which song do I like better, then it's the second.

~ Poppy the Pussycat ~

This isn't a meme, but it's something I had to share. I can watch this over and over and over...

~ Totally Random Survey ~

I'm bored, found these on the internet...

1. What is something scientists need to invent?
- I am going to steal this from one of my favorite movies: Button technology that senses urgency.

2. What should we do with stupid people?
- Make them President and Vice President...oh wait, we already did that.

3. If you were a superhero, what powers would you want to have?
- Invisibility and ability to fly. And of course, super-strength.

4. List the snacks that you have stashed in your desk drawer at work:
- Bag of almonds and some semi-sweet chocolate chips.

5. Describe the strangest conversation you have ever overheard in a public place.
- I was walking Smokey around the park one weekday morning a couple of months ago, and a couple of bums were tidying up their sleeping area. It was a man and a woman, both African-American (how PC am I? Then again, how PC was it to call them "bums"?), and the woman clearly sounded frustrated as she said to him, "I was tryin ta gih you suh ass lass night boy!" (translation for those who don't get it: "I was trying to give you some ass last night boy!"). Hahahahaha.

6. Would you prefer to have $10 million dollars right now or $1 million a year for 10 years? Why?
- I'd take the $10 million right now. It makes more sense for investment purposes.

7. Would you rather tell the truth or take a dare?
- Eek. Neither!

8. How do you know when you are really having fun?
- I pee a little. Just kidding.

9. How do you mark your territory?
- I pee a little. Just kidding.

10. If any type of shoe sums up my whole personality, it is the _______________ .
- Flip-flop. Come on, as if you didn't see that answer coming. Comfy, loose (haha), versatile, indispensible.

11. Describe your childhood Halloween costumes.
- Up until I was probably 12, they were always those plastic ones bought from the grocery store. Wonder Woman was my personal favorite, I think I was her for 2 years in a row. It always got all hot and moist under that hard plastic mask with tiny-ass slits in eyes, nostrils, and mouth, and that sorry-ass elastic that was uncomfortable as hell and always broke. And forget it if you wore glasses, like me. You couldn't wear them over the mask, that's just dorky. But how could you wear them under the mask? It wouldn't fit right then. And how about the flimsy plastic outfit with the characters' body? One accidental brush-up against a prickly bush and you could either lose the whole thing or have to go the rest of the day with holes in it. I'm complaining now, but the more I think about it, the more I wish they made them for adults!

12. List all of the things you wanted to be when you grew up.
- An artist. In grade school (maybe it was kindergarten?), we had to come in one day dressed up as what we wanted to be when we grew up, so I came in a smock with a paintbrush, easel, and a palette. Hahahaha. I also wanted to be: a doctor, an actress, a veterinarian, and Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.

13. I want to be reincarnated as a _________ so I can __________ .
- An heiress to some American-based fortune, so I can be a celebrity for no apparent reason.

~ 08.01.06 Tuesday Ten ~

Ten things on your "To Do" List that will probably never get done...

1. Repaint the condo
2. Fix up the 2nd bedroom so that it's usable, instead of just a place where we throw shit into

4. Switch out all of the knobs on the kitchen cabinets/drawers...they're shiny gold now, I want matted silver
5. Lose 20 pounds...I'll settle for 15
6. Get my car fully detailed
7. Budget my money better
8. Get my CEBS (Certified Employee Benefit Specialist) designation...no, I'll get this one done, but it might take a while
9. Win the Lotto
10. Learn to drive a stick shift

~ 07.28.06 Friday Five ~

Tastes

1. What’s a film you were sure you would dislike but ended up liking?
- Napoleon Dynamite. I actually didn't like it after watching it the first time, and I still think that as a whole movie, beginning to end, it's not that great. But the individual scenes are hilarious!
Napoleon: Do the chickens have large talons?
Farmer: Do they have what?
Napoleon: Large talons.
Farmer: I don't understand a word you just said.

2. What food(s) did you used to dislike but now enjoy?
- Longanisa and tocino

3. What silly fad or craze do you remember immersing yourself in?
- In grade school, it was Slam Books. In high school, it was New Kids on the Block.

4. What was the last thing you regretted purchasing as soon as you got it home?
- I big bag of Chee-tos

5. How would you describe your taste in the opposite sex (or the same sex, if you lean that way)?
-

~ 07.21.06 Friday Five ~

Shopping

1. From what stores is it impossible for you to emerge empty-handed?
- Target (but I guess that doesn't count b/c I only go there when I have to buy something)
- Pet supply stores (same principal as Target)
- Beauty supply stores (like Sephora and Ulta)

2. Where do you go when you need to spend a little bit of make-me-feel-better money?
- Nordstrom

3. What store you did you used to frequent but no longer find appealing?
- Express

4. If you opened your own retail store (not a food-service establishment), what would be its theme, name, and target clientele?
- I've always loved walking into the first floor of Nordstrom stores--the shoes, the handbags, the jewelry and the costmetics--so, although this isn't an orignal idea, that's what I'd model my own retail store after.

5. If you had to purchase all your friends’ gifts at one store for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
- Barnes & Noble
