Start the Week Out with 20 Questions!

I’m a 5'2” shortstuff

 

Do you have a hidden talent? If so, what?

I can speed read.

 

What is your biggest blog-related pet peeve?

No response to questions posted in comments. It’s not that hard to answer a question, whether it’s in the comments section, email reply, or on the posters’ site itself.

 

What is your biggest non-blog related pet peeve?

Ignorance. All someone has to do, is a little research. Don’t be a jerk.

 

What's your favorite song?

Either Sweet Home Alabama or Summer Breeze. I’m a hippie at heart.

 

What is your favorite ETSY shop?

Ummm… I don’t… is Etsy big enough to have its own question? Now a good question for me would be, what’s a subject you pinterest about the most? And in this case I’d say, “Go here and you figure it out!” I’m such a jerk, I know!

 

What's your favorite way to spend your free time when you're alone?

Catching up on TV shows and/or movies, snacking, reading.

 

What's your favorite junk food?

Zebra Cakes… OMG, I’m addicted

Non - I have several survival, herbal, science books

Fiction – Zombie/Fantasy/YA

 

What is your favorite beauty product?

Defining Gel and Eye/Lip Cream from It Works® products.

 

When were you last embarrassed?

Ummm… it happens on a daily basis so it’s hard to pinpoint just one. It’s usually because I’m accident prone.

 

If you could drink one beverage for the rest of your life, what would it be?

I would like to pick Pepsi or Mtn. Dew but I’d probably go with boring old water. No one like to be bloated or constipated. ßYes I went there.

 

What's your favorite movie?

This is like asking a kid if they like candy… “YES!”

I can’t pick just one movie but I will say, I’m currently addicted to all the Hobbit movies and watch them every time they are one. It will never get old. Just like the original Star Wars when I was little.

 

What were you in high school? Prom queen, nerd, cheerleader, jock, valedictorian, band geek, loner, artist, etc?

A socializing, nerdy, cheerleading, jock.

 

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?

Someplace where it is neither too cold, nor too hot. You find it, I’ll move there.

 

PC or Mac?

PC.

 

Last romantic gesture from a crush, date, boyfriend/girlfriend?

How about my husband… he ran some errands for me. I find those little gestures so much more romantic than flowers, etc.

 

Favorite celeb?

This living ones changes from time to time, so currently:

Living … Channing Tatum, Anna Kendrick, Jimmy Fallon, Rhonda Rousey, Randy Orton…
Dead … Heath Ledger, John Lennon, Freddy Mercury…


Which blogger do you secretly want to be best friends with?

Well I’m already BBF’s with Jackie @ BouquetOfBooks, but I’d love to add Morgan Shamy and Suzi @ LiteraryEngineer to my secret society.

 

 

 

I'm not going to tag anyone, I know - I'm no fun - but I figured if you lovelies have time, you would go ahead and make my day but answering these questions when you have time. If not, that is fine too, I won't judge.

 

Have an awesome Monday!!

 

 

Express Yourself - EYM Birthday Week - Rewind

Express Yourself is a weekly Meme hosted by my friend Jackie and myself. We do this every week to learn more about our fellow bloggers and so far we have met some very talented and wonderful people!

This week marks the One Year anniversary of Express Yourself Meme!! Happy Birthday EYM!

Jackie & I would like to know; What has been your favorite question during the first year of EYM?


Oh, this is hard for me. So many questions have come and gone. And so many badges and banners have blessed this screen. Plus, I have slept a few nights here and there since this whole thing started.

I think some of my favorites were from last October...

• List 5 movies/books which cause the hair on your nexk to stand up.
• List 5 favorite monsters throughtout history (fictional or non-fictional).

And one from last November...

• List 5 perfect imperfections about yourself; things which bug others but are a part of what makes you - you.

If you would like, you may go ahead and revisit these in the comments below. Movies, monsters, imperfections... OH MY!

*Starting tomorrow, and every day following until the 31st, I will be highlighting ONE "thing" I love about the month October since it's my favorite month and all. I'm calling it "Thirty-One Loves of October". You are more than welcome to join. Just spotlight something each day that reminds you of October and makes you love it even more!

Cheers!!
