I was recently tagged by MizzJ to answer "25 random questions." I'm pleased because she and I have been blog friends for a while. I assume this tag means she's not tired of my over-sharing. :) Check out MizzJ's blog here.
1. Where were you 3 hours ago? - At work.
2. Is there anything pink within 10 feet of you? - Let's see...nope! I think my current pillow case has pink on it, but I'm not sure
3. What are you wearing right now? - Plaid pajama shorts and a Snoopy t-shirt.
4. What are the colors of your bedroom walls? - I think they're blue.
5. Who is the last person you sent a message or comment /BBM? - Rooth
6. What does your last text message say? - A secret code from my bank.
7. Can you Taste The Difference Between Pepsi And Coke? - Yes, but not diet Pepsi and diet Coke.
8. Is your hair curly or straight? - Straight. But if I wait too long for a haircut, it starts to curl near my ears. I don't like that.
9. Which is the hardest thing you ever had to do? - At first I was going to say public speaking. Almost no one takes to that right off the bat. But then I started thinking about real-life challenges that involved more than the potential to embarrass myself. If you're hoping for a funny answer, please skip ahead to 10.
I'd say it's a toss up between an "Old Yeller" incident (@ 12) and deciding whether to turn off life-support for my mom (@ 25). The two are not equal, but because of the difference in my age and experience I decided not to choose. There were other situations that came close. But most of those involved reacting to an emergency. Having to act without a lot of time to think is easier. Sorry for going serious. I usually aim to keep things light, but everyone encounters situations like those above at some point. It's part of life.
10. Favorite 2 color combination? - White and blue (for the shirt and pants I wore to work today)
11. What is your favorite accessory? - I think my watch is the only accessory I have. :)
12. Which current celebrity's style do you admire most? - William H. Macy (I made that up because I assume his style is boring, but I have no idea
13. What is your favorite fashion store/shop? - I like Eddie Bauer's winter socks...so maybe Eddie Bauer.
14. When was the last time you drove out of town? - A short trip to Baltimore in April.
15. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? - The Snickers commercial with Joe Pesci.
16. What was the last thing you bought? - A mocha frappe--a very unusual purchase for me. It was hot outside!
17. What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning? - Do I have an early morning meeting??? Followed by, "Is it Saturday?"
18. Favorite Food? - This is constantly changing, so I guess I don't have a favorite.
19. Biggest turn off? - People who are arrogant, obnoxious, insulting, oblivious.
20. What do you always have on you/wear? - A small, yellow gold cross.
21. What does your screen name mean/how did you come up with it? - It's a rip-off of Nicodemus. I was sort of a serious child (a little adult), so a neighbor called me Ricademus to get me to smile. It was the same neighbor I asked "do I look like you" when we met. I was 4 and thought I was adopted. :)
22. Favorite style of top/blouse? - Dress shirts with button-down collars, Henley shirts, t-shirts.
23. Favorite tv show? - Psych? STNG? I really like the current version of Sherlock Holmes (with Mr. Cumberbatch) on the BBC, but each season is only 3 episodes. That's too few to make the list.
24. What is a favorite TV show from your childhood? - NOT Mr. Rogers--never liked that guy.
25. What does your dream bedroom look like? - Since I'm not even sure about the color of my bedroom walls, I'm going to steal part of MizzJ's answer--comfortable and girly (because my girl should be comfortable there and I don't really care what it looks like).
What a way to end a long questionnaire! Sweet sweet Rick! :) Your girl is lucky!
ReplyDeleteWell, she has to make the best of it now. =)
DeleteHaha thanks for answering my tag! When reading yours I suddenly realized it's rather girl-centric so thanks for being a good sport :)
ReplyDeleteI totally found Mr. Rogers weird as a kid too! But the puppets were fun heh
LOL, I'm still waiting for someone to host a male-themed giveaway. A baseball glove, a guys watch...something! =)
DeleteI do like parodies of Mr. R.
I laughed when I read you weren't sure about the colour of your bedroom walls. I don't think you would make a good witness in court! (I am the same way.)
ReplyDeleteHaha, strangely, things that could end up needing a witness cause me to be hyper-observant.
DeleteWell if it WASN'T Mr. Rogers, what was it? :)
ReplyDeleteI share #7 with you.
College football. =)
DeleteUm, that Sherlock Holmes series on BBC is seriously one of my favourites. I'm upset that they only come out with three at once. They are making a Sherlock series for the US but I doubt it'll be half as good.
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine how difficult your decision regarding life support for your mother was. I was there with my Dad when he had to make that decision for his father and I could tell how hard it was hitting him
I bet you know this, but I read the actor who shared the Frankenstein role with Cumberbatch has been cast to play Sherlock in that series. Apparently they wanted someone as much like BC as possible.
DeleteI know your dad was comforted having you there with him.
I <3 Mr Cumberbatch! x)
ReplyDeleteHe's going to be in the next Star Trek movie!!!
Deleteblue is good, I think my bedroom walls are blue too!
ReplyDeleteBlue, blue, my world is blue
DeleteBlue is my world...something...something.
It's a nice, warm, calm color.
hello Rick! i may not get to visit all the time but I'm glad I did today coz I got to know little trivias about you.
ReplyDeleteenjoy the weekend ahead :)
I'm glad too, it's nice to have people drop by when I'm over-sharing--and it's always nice to hear from you.
Deletehaha,i like how u answer it

I am sorry to have missed this post! I am glad to have learned more about you. I would have guessed white and blue were your favorite colours, and that most of your 'blouses' are button down ;)
ReplyDeleteLuckily I never get tagged on those types of questions, hehe. I did once long long time ago and it just felt weird reading it again realising that I was once that and that no more :) .
ReplyDeleteSo, perhaps this is you now but later who knows :) .
Ahh, I haven't had any time lately to read blogs, but now is my day off work and I'm catching up with everone again!!
ReplyDeleteNice to get to know even more about you through this questionaire! I have a friend whose bedroom is a princess castle, I mean that literally! Everything is pink, her clothes and shoes take most part of the room, and I always wonder where her boyfriend keeps his stuff... in the kitchen, maybe?? But I'm sure your wife won't take that much of an advantage to that you don't care how the room looks like, right?? XDD
Awww... 25 is absolutely sweet!
