I borrowed this idea from Cardine because I like lists. It's a quick way to jot down whatever comes to your mind, an interesting journal technique.
1. The time: 9:25 a.m.
2. Name: Shaneen
3. Piercings: One in each ear. I had two others you can vauguely see but I can't get earrings in them.
4. The most recent movie seen in the theater: Lady in the Water. I liked how M Night Shyamalan played his part in the movie, regardless of what the critics say. Paul Giametti was great. Yes I jumped whenever the scary creature appeared. I'd liked to watch it one more time without the jumping to see the things I missed by hiding my face. But I don't want to buy it.
5. Place of birth: St. John, Newfoundland
6. Favorite Foods: Chocolate
7. Ever been to Africa: No, but I would love to see the pyramids and the Valley of the Kings
8. Ever been toilet-papering: Yes. Who hasn't?
9. Loved someone so much it made you cry: I cried when I got divorced, but that was not love so much as sadness. But I love my kids enough to cry over them.
10. Been in a car accident: Yes and it was my fault. I'm still a jumpy driver.
11. Croutons or bacon bits: I prefer sunflower seeds but croutons are good too.
12. Favorite day of the week: Friday, the day of anticipation.
13. Favorite Restaurant: Don't have one. Just feed me and I'm happy.
14. Favorite Flower: Deep red peonies. I have one bush that grows these and they are gorgeous. If you could just get rid of the ants. Cardine likes flowers better than chocolate. I would prefer diamonds.
15. Favorite sport to watch: Pro basketball
16. Favorite drink: Water.
17. Favorite ice cream: Chocolate chip with those little tiny chocolate chip dots with the occasional clumps that no one makes any more which makes it easier to avoid this disastrous temptation.
18. Disney or Warner Brothers: Disney. I prefer Mickey Mouse over Bugs Bunny
19. Favorite fast food restaurant: McDonalds.
20.Color of your bedroom carpet: Rust, I hate it. It's so 70's. My dream color is a nice soft, grayish lavendar.
21. Number of times you failed your driver's test: Once. When I was sisteen, I flunked the driving test. I was devastated. I didn't go back and retry for six months.
22. From whom you got your last e-mail: Some guy selling Viagra. How do I get my filter back on? Do I need Viagra? Is there something I don't know about?
23. What do you do most often when you are bored: Play Zuma
24. Bedtime: About 11 pm
25. The person most likely to comment on this post the quickest: Booklogged
26. Responses to this post you the most curious about: Cassie. I wouldn't let her read this while I was typing it.
27. Favorite TV shows: Extreme Makeover (Love Ty Pennington) and Gray's Anatomy. ( Love Dr. McDreamy) I like the Rock Star reality show. Those people are really talented.
28. Last persons you ate with: Cassie, Cheya, Myke, Katie, Alyson, Kristi, Ronnie, Jenny, John, Megan, Jeff, Steve, Verona, Ryan, Julie, Brinli, Aubri, Riker and my mom. KFC and potluck. We played Trivial Pursuit afterwards and I did the best for a change. Got lucky on the questions.
29. Dream car: The 2007 Nissa Maxima. Just saw it on a commercial and it called my name.
30. What you are listening to right now: The SLC July 24th parade on the the TV. Cassie is watching it. It's very annoying.
31. Your favorite colors: Blue and yellow. Or Lavendar and sage. It's too hard to decide.
32. How many tattoos you have: None. Not even tempted. Too painful.
33. How many pets you have: Zero My cat disappeared a few years ago and now I'm just alone.
34. Which came first, the chicken or the egg: I'll take a wild guess and say the chicken. Have there been any scientific studies done on this?
35. This question was missing so I'll discuss a couple of interesting things I came across while searching in my lexicon for this title. Leitmotif: Somehow I always associated this with decorating but it also deals with Wagnerian operas. Hmmm. Least common denominator: After reading others blogs and checking on those who comment on mine, I find our least common denominator is that we do blogs. Otherwise we are a very diverse bunch. There are probably more L words I could have used but I got tired of looking in the L's.
36. The last thing you think at night: Put the book away . . . put the book away . . . put the book away. . . put the boo . . . zzzzz
37. Time you finished answering: 9:50 a.m. What time did you finish reading this post?
3:58 p.m. I feel so sneaky and almost wicked being the first to comment! I loved reading this. I feel as though I am getting to know you, getting to know all about you...
ReplyDeleteThe thing that kills me is that they only send out those mass e-mailings if people actually click on them and respond. Who is clicking on those things? Is anyone else suspicious of a mass e-mailing where half of the words are spelled incorrectly?
I love lists, they really do reveal a lot of interesting tidbits about a person. I can't believe you failed your driver's test but scored the highest on the Betty Crocker Home Maker Award. The irony of life! You are such a whiner - You always win those smart games that we play. At least you always do better than I do. :<
ReplyDeleteBTW - That was a Lengthy title for a Lame List. LOL
ReplyDeleteCardine, I always suspected that you had a tiny bit of wickedness in you. How refreshing. I have ahard time with my e-mail because I can't do a a control-select without the e-mail opening. So they think I'm actually reading about their bogus products. I wish a lethal let-down for those lewd letches.
ReplyDeleteBook, You know I got easy questions. It helps that Mark wasn't playing with us. I think we only play that game when Mark is around. How dumb are we? Are you being too literal about the liberty I took with my title's attempt at levity?
Why is EVERYONE so surprised that I was Betty Crocker Homemaker of the year? I think the RS President bit is much more shocking.
ReplyDeleteWe were so suprised because in 9th grade you had never been in a kitchen long enough to do anything but eat. Those must have been cookbooks you were reading up there in your room! Frankly, I'm not shocked about either event. You deserve them and I'm thrilled that you have them.
ReplyDeleteWell, since your curious. I pretty much knew all this stuff before.
ReplyDeleteI had fun with you this weekend. Its always nice coming home for a little while.
So, what actually does one have to do to earn the BCHM award? I religiously watch PBS cooking shows. Would that qualify me?
ReplyDeleteI LIKED the title of your blog - very LOVELY but a bit LOQUACIOUS. How's that!?!?
Hmm. Flowers, chocolate, or diamonds, eh? My order of preference would be diamonds, flowers, then chocolate. That surprises me because I love chocolate. I guess it's because I can buy myself chocolate, and often do, but I never by myself flowers or diamonds.
That is sad, Frog. But funny.
ReplyDeleteJulie, Love your little letter about my long log. (that's short for blog and it starts with an L)
All senior girls got to take this test for BCHM and I wanted to get out of English, so I went. It was multiple choice so how hard is that. At a women's retreat, we all put something in a hat that we didn't think anyone else had done, and that's what I put in. They guessed everyone else in the room except me. I ask you! I was very offended!!! One other lady had also won that lofty laud, but was surprised when it was read.
Book, did you not know that I won blue ribbons at the county fair for my chocolate chip cookies and my banana bread?? Jeez, I can cook, I just don't want to.
Thanks for the visit tonight, and of course, you may borrow the meme. Let me know when you have it up and I'll come back to see it.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I forgot to tell you that the Pyramids are the thing I want most to see in the world!
ReplyDeleteHi Framed ~~ Great list, I see you enjoy them. I am a bit like that myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. Sorry you did
not enjoy your lamb, glad you liked the brains joke. Sadly, quite a few of us
relate to the Medical alphabet.
Take care, Merle.
