Answering My Own Questions
- March 29th, 2008 10:52 pm
In this post, I asked if you all would fill out some questions about yourselves. And several of you did, YAY!
1.) If you could skip any day of the week, which would it be?
Like many of you, I picked either Monday or Tuesday. Monday is just ridiculous, and Tuesday is so empty. I’m just ready for the weekend.
2.) What is your favorite book?
I don’t have an all around favorite. I love too many books to single just one out. So I guess this wasn’t a fair question to ask. *punches self in face*. When I was a child, my favorite book was ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear’ if that counts.
3.) If you had lived back in the day when people though the Earth was flat, would you have been open to the new idea that Earth is actually round, or stayed with the old idea of flatness?
Oh, I would’ve been on the roundness like white on rice. Flat Earth? That is so jacked up.
4.) Can you roller skate?
I could, and I’m almost certain that this talent (?) is still one I possess. I loved roller skating back in the day.
5.) Are you right or left handed?
I’m a righty. My mother is a lefty. When I first started picking things up as a child and writing, I did so with my left hand, but everyone always placed the item in my right hand. I guess it stuck? I think that was sort of rude. If I wanted to use my left hand, I should’ve been able.
6.) What song do you most despise?
I hate ‘The Sign’ by Ace of Base. Or anything Phil Collins.
7.) What is the most embarrassing CD you own?
hmm, probably all of the Britney Spears CD looming in my garage.
8.) What one word can you NEVER manage to spell correctly without the assistance of spell check?
embarrass. I never spell this correctly. I always forget the double ‘r’.
8b.) What was the first cassette tape you ever purchased? (Not CD, cassette.)
Probably New Kids on the Block.
9.) What issue is currently bothering you the most?
My missing panties? Still MIA!
10.) Why do you visit Shamelessly Sassy? (Read: fishing for compliments to read after carrying massive boxes.)
To write my posts or see if things are aligning correctly.
11.) What is your greatest accomplishment?
My daughter. 
I’m always amazed that something so wonderful is from half of me. I’m sure I have a few other fabulous accomplishments like tying my shoes or finally hand washing a few dishes, but Allie is the greatest.
12.) Brag about yourself here. Why are you so awesome? (because you are, for sure. Particularly if you had good answers for (10).) What do you do best? What area are you the go-to person for?
I am really good at math. I’m also really handy to have around in awkward situations, or not. If you like inappropriate jokes in awkward situations, I am your go-to girl. I’m also a really good listener and talker. I can talk all day long. I’m also really good to watch movies with because that is one time that I do not talk (much). I’m also a very discreet snooper. That is all. (By the way, I realize that I was supposed to say ’snoop’ and not ’snooper’, but step back and look at the big picture. Snooper is a much cooler word.)

My first cassette was either Paula Abdul or New Kids too. I’m not sure which, it was all a blur. I remember listening to both repeatedly. I actually had a long response to your original questions but then I got sidetracked at work (HOW DARE THEY??!) and wasn’t able to come back in time!

I’m good at listening and I’m very thoughtful. I think of people a lot and I care a lot. I’m very understanding too. I think what I do best is try to be there for people when they really need it. I also think I’m a pretty good friend to have.I’m a go-to person for useless trivia.

From now on, you are invited to all of the awkward moments of my life so that I’m not alone in saying completely inappropriate things while trying to make things not as awkward (with results that vary. wildly.).

I’m still chuckling at the missing panties…
I have this mental image of a 300lb mover modelling them in front of a full length mirror… or better still presenting them as a gift to Mrs 300lb mover.

My answers:
1. Wednesday – it would break things up a bit.
2. Watership Down – it has everything, teamwork, mysticism, battle, adventure and rabbits. Lots of rabbits.
3. Seriously, it isn’t flat? I’m open to being convinced on just about anything, but I like facts. They are stubborn things.
4. Nope, never could skate.
5. I swing both ways. I broke my right hand when I was 15. It was in a cast for 22 weeks, so I learned to do everything with left handed. It comes in remarkably handy.
6. Achey-Breaky Heart.
7. Lindy’s Party, by the Bolshoi.
8a. “the”
8b. Thriller by Michael Jackson. I know he is a wack-a-doodle, but the album is still great. I don’t care what anyone says…
9. The Iraq War. Personally, I think we need to stick it out – we screwed it up, I think we ought to fix it. Oh, and my business – it would be great if that took off. (okay, it hardly compares to the first one…)
10. Most of the time, I find what you right really interesting. Sometimes it is a bit too woman-centric – I’m not exactly the target audience – but you write well, you have a witty sense of humor, and I don’t always agree with you. That is pretty much the three things I look for.
11. My kid are great. Seriously.
12. I am awesome because I like what I am. I don’t what else you could ask for.
And when I read your answer to #12, I really thought it said that you were a discrete pooper, which I thought was a little odd.

Well, Queen of the Awkward Situation, I wish you had been around today when my son told the neighbor lady that she was growing quite a mustache. I also wish you had been around at my bridal shower (but you would have been a toddler then) when my husband’s grandmother asked what I most looked forward to in marrying her grandson. I answered, “Married sex,” and the shower abruptly ended.
