Tag: Q&A game

The weather is beautiful here today, so it’s the perfect time to play tag. I was recently tagged for a Q&A game by Melissa of ChinkyMel’s Corner and Thanh Thao of Rainy Days Never Stays. Mel is one of the people who lured me into blogging. Well, she lured me, I stalked her, it’s the same thing. I was fortunate to find Thanh Thao’s blog almost as soon as she started—and I’m still waiting for her to share some of the cheesecakes she makes!!! You would probably be better off by visiting their blogs now instead of reading my answers, but I hope you’ll do both.

So now for the tag:
1) A vampire or a wizard (and why)???
I’d go with wizard—the kind who doesn’t need to say a long spell to use his powers. I would just have to “will” something to happen. But I do like vampires. Maybe I would use magic to give myself the powers of a vampire, without the need to drink blood. That’s too gross for me.

2) If you could change one thing about you, what would it be - if anything???
I’ve always joked that God tightened the screws too tight when making me—I’d like to be more flexible. I work on it and I am pretty flexible, but I think it would be fun to be loosey-goosey like those people who seem to be held together with rubber bands.

3) Would you rather live like a rock star or like a president? (in other words: fun or power?)
Honestly, neither. I like knowing who my friends are, but that becomes almost impossible when you get too popular or too powerful. Been there, done that! LOL!!! But if I had to choose, I’d take the power in hopes of making the world a better place.

4) What's your favorite cartoon character???
Batman is great, but I think of him as a comic book character—even though he’s been in plenty of cartoons. And I love Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes (he’s always right, so what is there to debate?)! But I’m going to choose Snoopy for his imagination and his ability to have fun doing almost anything. Some other interesting characters are the Tick, Invader Zim, the Animaniac who said “helloooooo nurse”, Bugs Bunny, Slappy Squirrel, Johnny Quest….clearly I’ve watched too many cartoons!

5) What's your (most) guilty pleasure?
I don’t actually feel guilty about any of the pleasures I experience, but I’ll go with a decadent dessert—like the chocolate cake that has dark chocolate chips all around the edge—or cheesecake!

6) If you were a song, what would it be???
Impossible Dream? Crazy? Oklahoma? I’m not sure.

7) What's your biggest dream?
For my kids to be happy, healthy and have friends they can depend on.

8) Do you prefer to be the one who asks questions or the one who answers them, and why???
I guess it depends on the context, but I like asking people about themselves. I don’t mind answering questions—information should go both ways, but I do like learning about people and learning new things.

9) What is your biggest turn off and turn on???
Biggest turn off: Meanness, arrogance, and as Mel said, poor hygiene.
Biggest turn on: Eyes that can sparkle (which is a personality by-product), smile, face—but she’s got to have a sense of humor and common sense too. And I admit it, I’m a leg man.

10) Have you ever broken any law?
When I was 9 my brother and I were looking at model cars and found a box that was open. It had a cool little #8 decal inside. I put the decal in my pocket and walked out of the store. Also, I purchased and drank alcohol when I was underage. On the way to somewhere today, I will drive 5 to 10 miles over the speed limit. Now, we’re just talking about the laws of man here, right??? ;P

I'd like to pass the tag on to Sonia, Khim, Amy, Wenny, Krissy, Ibyang, Coffretgorge, Jing, LOLanne, Leah, teJan, Dawna, Ana, and Applepie.

I hope you're all having a good week.
