30 days of nothing better to say
I stole this from cestovatelka. oh my gosh. i think that’s almost right (it wasn’t, but i fixed it). anyhow. she did some of it today and it was really interesting. mine is not, but surely this is better than saying nothing (ha) or posting more melodramatic poetry. it’s another saturday night. yada yada.
Day 01 – Name two significant people in your life and explain why. LLO and Spawn. They ARE my life.
Day 02 – What is your stance on religion? Would you affiliate yourself with any? I have an affiliation Sept through May. I worship at the holy slacker during the summer.
Day 03 – What band/musician is most important to you? Explain why. Beethoven. He’s brilliant.
Day 04 – If you could chose a time period to be born at, which one would it be and why? Um. I wanna be Laura Ingalls Wilder. I’m that kind of dork.
Day 05 – At what age were you the happiest? Probably right now. If not necessarily right this second.
Day 06 – Name five things from your wishlist. a money tree, happy younguns, to be just so, a cherry red ’65 mustang convertible , a few more hours in the day.
Day 07 – Do you read? If so, what are your three favorite books and why? Yes. Harry Potters, Chrysanthemum, Jane Austen (yes, i cheated). these are books I’ve read aloud at least once because I like them. Especially Chrysanthemum. It’s perfect.
Day 08 – If you could live anywhere, where would you live and why? a deserted island with an extensive library and a margarita stand. no explanation needed, i think.
Day 09 – How old do you think you act? Explain. Somewhere in the ballpark of 13. I’m a drama queen and I’m still on that long road to maturity.
Day 10 – If you could only live off of one food and one beverage for the rest of your days, what would they be? Right. lime chips and coffee.
Day 11 – What is your favorite quote? How does it relate to your life? “Daddy, you’re my whole world. But Mommy’s better.” LLO said that when she was little and it makes me laugh.
Day 12 – What item of clothing do you wear the most? underwear
Day 13 – What can you not live without? oxygen
Day 14 – Name things that you do every day. pick people’s junk up off the floor because we don’t have object permanence yet, procrastinate, roll my eyes, laugh, step on a cat.
Day 15 – Who is someone you admire. Why? People who have it all together because I don’t.
Day 16 – If the world were to end tomorrow, what would you do with your remaining time on earth? freak out
Day 17 – What do you want to be when you get older? Why did you choose it? alive. duh.
Day 18 – If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would it be? What would you say to them or ask them? No idea, but I’d probably start with “hello”
Day 19 – What is your favorite film? Why is it so important to you? Pride and Prejudice. Because I’m a sappy romantic and I love it.
Day 20 – Would you consider yourself an optimist or a realist? Why? optimist. for the most part I believe the best of everyone.
Day 21 – Do you want children? Why or why not? Been there, done that.
Day 22 – What subject did/do you excel in/at school? English and math (except calculus and trig, both of which were invented by the devil)
Day 23 – Are you a fan of art? If so, who is your favorite artist? What artistic movement do you prefer? Yes. I dig Monet and his thing.
Day 24 – How attractive do you consider yourself? There’s no answer to that.
Day 25 – Would you rather date someone plain with an amazing personality or someone beautiful with a plain personality? personality 100%
Day 26 – Choose two: mentally stable, intelligent, attractive. Explain why you chose those two. mentally stable and intelligent. They are more important and last longer.
Day 27 – Which do you prefer: films or television? Why? doesn’t matter. maybe television because the season lasts longer.
Day 28 – If you could choose to live forever, would you? Why or why not? No. I’m not sure that forever is going to be such a great place.
Day 29 – Do you wish for anything at 11:11? If so, what do you wish for? Has anything ever come true? What is 11:11? I wish on 12:07 and no.
Day 30 – What do you imagine your life like at age fifty?I’m gonna guess it’ll be pretty much like it is now except that I’ll have a kid in college.

Lime chips and coffee, what a combination!
I like the term “object permanence”.
“No one of us has got it all together, but all of us together, got it all!”
A kid in college. Wow. You are older than I am, aren’t you?
@lanney - i didn’t really enjoy doing that math. 50 is far too close (as is college for spawn) but that’s only in chronological age. in acting age, i’ll only be 16.
I loved your answers You crack me up!
@Cestovatelka - it was fun to do. made myself giggle a little bit.
I attend the same church in the summer!
@songoftheheart - hallelujah!
you are so darn cute
Fun…. But no mention of me.
Might want to work on that…
Number 17, that’s my kind of answer. I’d steal this, but I don’t know if I could come up with better answers…
very well done
@Bricker59 - #6 on wishlist: fishing with bricker59. better?
@SisterMae - if i made you smile, i’m glad.
@lovelightwellness - it’s not about better answers, it’s about your answers. re:17. pretty much the goal, isn’t it?
@Grannys_Place - thanks. have a wonderful sunday.
I love Chrysanthemum!
@gayXianmom - no matter who points at us during the day, we can go home to parcheesi. i need a copy for every room of the house, because i can never find it when i need it.
I’ve enjoyed reading up on your answers. You’ve gave some wonderfully detailed answers. Fun!
Now that I have all this information about you I guess it is safe to go ahead and “friend” you.
@promisesunshine - We bought our parcheesi set for that very reason.
@gayXianmom - that is so sweet, i almost can’t stand it.
@vexations - i was just thinking about that the other day. exactly the reason i answered all these questions. ha.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder. I devoured those books. Every so often I want to go back and read them but I only have two of them which are fairly uninteresting to be honest. Great, now more books on my to-read list.
A couple reactions:
Underwear is overrated
and
so is college
lol
@leaflesstree - i even read the rose and carolyn books in the past 10 years. we listened to them on car trips. the originals that is
@oceanstarr - i was commando when i wrote this. college sucks. but that’s just my opinion this week. i’m holding a 2 month old right this minute. and she just threw up on me… again
@promisesunshine - I just got puked too lol… Ah… this is the life!
@oceanstarr - something about baby puke is … comforting.
@promisesunshine - If you say so… lol
@oceanstarr - that’s only because i’m not changing clothes again to meet my friend.
We have a fire engine red 1965 Mustang convertible. If you come here I will take you for a ride in it.
@ZSA_MD - chicago area, right? i will definitely take you up on that. as soon as i can.
thanks for sharing this list–fun and interesting to read.
Hope you weekend is going well,
frank
@ANVRSADDAY - very well, thanks. enjoying your pam?
11:11!!! I always make a wish at 11:11. Love Pride and Prejudice. Love Beethoven. See, we have a lot in common.
@ordinarybutloud - i will have to try the 11:11 wishing. see how that goes for me. scads of things in common.
At one time I wanted to the boy in My Side Of The Mountain. I just reread it and damned if I still want to be him. Yeah, you all ways crack me up…
@promisesunshine - Pam is any father’s dream daughter.
Love this! the teacup poem post was cute, too, but this is great. of course, getting to know someone’s leanings, or hearing about the baby throwing up on them, is always pretty endearing
