"No More Grape Nuts!"

Tagged by La Cremiere...

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? No. My dad wanted to name me after a groovy foster mother he had, but she shared a first name with my mom so that was vetoed.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Y’know, I actually can’t remember! And for a depressive, that’s very good!
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Sure. See my hand meme.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEAT? HA HA. The kind made outta soy. No, to be fair, I’ll answer the question: A tie between venison and buffalo. And since these animals aren’t commonly subjected to the atrocious living conditions and waste of corporate farming, I’d even eat them if I lived where the meat was available year-round.
5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Technically I have 4 “stepkids“, but one of them is older than me and one's not much younger, leaving just Demi and Aaron.
6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Heck yeah. Quirky, outdoorsy women who like cartoons and documentaries are hard to find.
7. DO YOU USE SARCASM ALOT? No, *of course not*.
8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Last time I checked, yep.
9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Probably not. I hate wearing tucked-in shirts.
10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Raisin bran. Grape Nuts are good too, but it annoys me that they contain neither grapes nor nuts. That's just false advertising. With raisin bran, what you see is what you get.
11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? Half the time, ‘cause I alternate between slip-on sneakers/sandals and hikers that lace up to the ankle.
12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? I’m quite fit intellectually, emotionally, and morally. Physically I have a lot of lower-body strength and not enough upper-body, meaning I won’t be a rock climber or a boxer anytime soon.
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? Ha ha again. Chocolate “rice dream”, with raspberries on top.
14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? Hmm. It differs from person to person, but facial expressions never fail to get my attention.
15. RED OR PINK? Red. If I had pink curtains...well, forget about it, I’d never have pink curtains. Blagghhh. Some pink in clothing is OK, though.
16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING YOU LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF? My perfectionist streak. It doesn’t enable me to do anything perfectly, it just makes me think everything I do is half-assed and pathetic.
17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? Demi, Aaron, and Z-kid...they’ve grown and changed so much every single time I see them!
18. WHAT'S THE LAST THING YOU BOUGHT? Bunny toys and a documentary (Deliver Us from Evil).
19. WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? No shoes. Funky pink-and-orange paisley clamdigger-style p.j. bottoms.
20. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? An animal cracker. I think it was a tiger.
21. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? The subdued sucking of Richard’s other girlfriend, “Miele”.
22. IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOUR WOULD YOU BE? Green (even if it isn’t easy); the color of trees.
23. FAVORITE SMELLS? Bunny fur, Richard, lilacs, coffee, rain
24. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? Some telemarketer. She couldn’t pronounce “Richard” so I hung up on her.
26. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH? Hockey. I’d like boxing if it didn’t involve so much spit and sweat. Least favorite: Curling.
27. EYE COLOR? Brown.
28. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? No. I don’t think I ever will, either, ‘cause I’d rather wear glasses than poke stuff into my eye.
29. FAVORITE FOOD? Tie between chocolate and green veggies (spinach, peas, asparagus)
30. STALLONE OR SCHWARTZENEGER? The one who isn’t dumb enough to think he’s a real politician. Or a real actor, for that matter.
31. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? How about happy movies with scary endings? Those are pretty good.
32. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED? The Animation Show 3 (excellent!)
33. WHAT COLOUR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING? Orange.
34. SUMMER OR WINTER? Winter! Christmas, soup, hot chocolate, sweaters, no bugs.
35. HUGS OR KISSES? Both. Unless we’re talking about chocolate...then I prefer Kisses.
36. FAVORITE DESSERT? Dairy-free creme brulee.
37. WHAT BOOK(S) ARE YOU READING NOW? Kent State by James Michener, Sight Unseen by Budd Hopkins
38. WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON T. V. LAST NIGHT? Part of the South Park where Cartman goes on Maury as an out-of-control teen. “I don’t care! I do what I want!”
39. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO WATCH TONIGHT? No TV (I’m taking a summer break ‘cause I hate reruns), but maybe some Gumby or Twin Peaks on DVD before bed. Or maybe I’ll catch up on Lonelygirl15, which is apparently never gonna freakin’ end.
40. FAVORITE SOUND? Waterfalls, fountains, and streams.
41. DOG OR CAT? Dog.
42. FAVORITE FLOWER? Lilacs .
43. ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES? Beatles in the winter, Stones in the summer (I’m into seasonal music...)
44. WHAT IS THE FURTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME? Depends if you mean my hometown or my current home. If my hometown, then it's, well, here (actually B.C.). If it's my home you mean, then Iowa or Southern Ontario. Sad, eh? We do have plans to go to Taiwan and Germany, though.
45. DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT? Nah. I can draw little cartoony things and act a little, but that’s about it.

I tag Tweetey, Alan ('cause he hasn't been tagged yet), and my sweetie ('cause he griped that no one tags him)

I would but I didnt know he does tags. Now I do. LOL... I keep thinking of him when I do a tag but never sure if he wants to do one. I will keep him in mind. That is so cool that you still draw. I remember those little penquin guys you used to make in high school. Cant remember his name though. Well there were a few other things. You dont like ICE CREAM!!! You have to be kidding me. Or is there something in it that Vegetarians cant have?? that I dont know about??? LOL...

I stay away from dairy, except the occasional slice of (meatless) pizza. I don't like the way the dairy industry is run, with all the drugs and the way the cows have to live. Plus I like soy products more, anyway... Soy/rice "ice cream" is actually pretty tasty stuff, and tofu "cream cheese" is delicious. They're both lower in fat than dairy, too.

I don't draw too much anymore. Once in a very great while I'll get an idea and scribble something. Funny, I can't remember any penguins, though. People always tell me about stuff I used to draw, and I can never remember it...one girl told me I drew penises on the stick figures when we played "Hangman" as kids. ;D

Ok. I wasnt making fun of you so I was just a curious George as you might say. It just struck me as weird I guess. But as long as your healthy. I have to agree with you though. Milk and dairy product are pasterized really weird now so I dont blame you. I dont drink milk usually. I make the girls have at least one glass a day and its kool aide or juice the rest of the day.

That got me pondering for a good 20 seconds blinking hard in case the words would miraculously start making sense, until I remembered that my vaccum is a Miele and it sucks, and it's not my best friend. Good stuff.

Heh heh, I knew that one would give a few people pause...
