Meme Stolen from Epi

I stole this little number from Epi over at Pink Warm And Dry. I need a minute of distraction and I think this is just the thing. You really should go over and check her out. She is funny, beautiful and awesome. Do it. Do it now. Well after you read this wonderful little meme about yours truly.




WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Yes in fact I was. I was named after one of the many children in a particular musical that I could sing forwards, backwards and from the middle through.


WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Last night. Because of an OnStar commercial. On the radio. I am losing it.


DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? I have several different 'styles' of writing. Actually I will start off writing and by the end of the page, I find myself writing in cursive. Generally it is a mish-mosh of both, but it is legible.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Sometimes ham. Sometimes turkey. Sometimes salami. Somtimes roast beef. Usually a combination of all of them is what makes me smile.


DO YOU HAVE KIDS? No, I do not. I am trying to remedy that, but apparently the universe has a different opnion on the matter.


IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Definitely. I am painfully loyal, will actually tell you if that shirt looks good on your or not (but I will do it nicely), usually remember your birthday and other silly dates and if I don't I will make it up ten-fold and well, I am fun.


DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Absolutely, punctuated with a hearty eye-roll. It is a must.

DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yes. But I do not have my wisdom teeth, except that root the doc forgot to take out.


WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? No. I have an irrational fear of heights and I loathe that feeling of the prickles bursting from your stomach and radiating in a burning path towards the ends of your limbs.


WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Kix. Somtemes by themselves. Sometimes with yogurt. Sometimes I just throw them at people and tell them I just kicked them.


DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? Never.


DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? Physically, I could be stronger, maybe then I wouldn't hurt myself so much when I try and show how tough I am. Emotionally, I am like perfect french bread: crust as hard as a rock with a soft, spongy inside.


WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? It changes on a daily basis. But whenever I go to DQ, it is a Heath blizzard. When I go to the local frozen custard place, it is twist with a sugar cone. I'd say the top five are Mint Chocolate Chip, Cookies N Cream, Neopolitain (perfect for the indecisive person), Moose Tracks and plain old chocolate.


WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? How they carry themselves and their teeth. I have a thing with teeth.


RED OR PINK? Red. Always red.


WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? My temper and the need to yell to get out the frustration.


WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? The Lieutenant. Hands down.


WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? Black dress pants and black heels with white polka dots on them.


WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? Coffe and a snickerdoodle dunked in said coffee. Yeah, I am off to a great start of losing weight.


WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? Nora Jones. I need something mellow today to match my mood.


IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE? Brick Red.


FAVORITE SMELLS? Fresh cut grass mixed with grill smoke, Lilacs, Fresh baked bread, Herbal mint candles, The world right after it stops snowing and the air is so cold it pinches your nose, Right before it starts raining when the air is so heavy it feels like the world is trying to smush you with a big humid hug, My house when it smells lemony-fresh right after I clean it.


WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? Jo.


FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH? The Green and Gold, baby.


HAIR COLOR[S]? Mousy brown.


EYE COLOR? Brown. Green when I cry.


DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? No, but I do wear glasses when I read and when I am at work staring at a spreadsheet-filled monitor all day.


FAVORITE FOOD? Again, I am totally and completely indecisive and I am not sure if I have one favorite. Here are the top 5. My momma's chicken and dumplings, pulled pork sandwiches, California rolls, fresh baked french bread with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, pasta of any variety.


SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? Happy endings. I think the last scary movie I watched was 13 Ghosts when it first came out on DVD. Yeah, it's been that long.


LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED? Juno. Not a good idea.


WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING? Dark pink.


SUMMER OR WINTER? Summer because there is nothing better than riding in the Lieutenant's old truck with the windows open, Gary Allan on the stereo and the wind carrying away all my worries. Winter because it is cold and prime time for snuggling under a warm blanket and watching the snow fall outside. And the holidays. LOVE seeing all the family.


HUGS OR KISSES? Hugs. And lots of them. I am a squeeze hugger. Everyone, even if I just met them gets a "real" hug. None of this barely-touch-you-pat-you-on-the-back-two-times hugging. Pansies. If you are going to hug someone, friggin hug them like it will be your only chance.


FAVORITE DESSERT? Pound cake with strawberries. Or cherry pie. Or cheesecake. Or Applebee's Chimicheescakes. What can I saw? I love dessert.


MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND? I'm going with no one on this one.


WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW? Rescue 471 by Peter Canning. <-- No shit Epi, so am I.


WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? Our department logo.


WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON T.V. LAST NIGHT? Code Blue, Trauma: Life in the ER, Deadliest Catch, Bones. I was a lazy bum last night.


FAVORITE SOUND[S]? My nieces and nephews laughing, the sound of the ocean waves hitting the beach


ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES? Beatles, particularly, Blackbird.


WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME? Boston, MA.


DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT? Seeing both sides of the story. Sometimes this makes decision making that much more difficult, but I would rather be able to see both sides of the argument than to have tunnel vision.


WHERE WERE YOU BORN? A hospital one county south on the east end.
