1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? I didn’t mind Christy b/c it wasn’t as common as other names, but I did at one point think I wanted to change my name to Darcy…no, I’m not kidding. I don’t know–I was weird.

2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ? I’ve said so many embarrassing things that I don’t even remember half of them.

3.)What is your favorite song? “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz

4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care? E-mail

5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win? Hopefully they won’t fight b/c ‘can’t we all just get along?’ but the turtle would totally think he could take the frog, but he’d accidentally roll over & get stuck on his back. It would be over from there.

6.) What is your guilty pleasure? Reading blogs and watching “The Biggest Loser” (it’s the only show I watch)

7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do? He knows, he reads…sometimes he comments. He’s actually very supportive of the blog b/c he knows I want to be a writer & he thinks I have some talent, however, that doesn’t stop him from commenting on how much time I spend on the computer (he’s one to talk though.)

8.) What is your best feature, personality wise? I like to think that I am kind to everyone (it’s certainly my goal.)

9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, & Mork & Mindy….Because whatever nights those were on those were the nights I was allowed to stay up & watch tv.

10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? Friends–well, I guess it wasn’t cancelled, but that was the only show I ever watched pretty faithfully.

11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh? Sort-of–I tagged someone for a meme one time when I just barely started my blog. And although she obliged, she made it clear how ridiculous she thought they were. I apologized for tagging her (as I didn’t know it was “inappropriate” to do so, but I stopped reading. I wasn’t that attached to her blog anyway.

12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ? I don’t know…I’m interested in most anything people write about themselves (I guess that’s why I love reading blogs and memoirs, etc.) I also like it when people write about other blogs they’ve found or what they read. It’s a great way to find some new sites.

Turtle, baby! Although I’m already feeling sorry for the frog.

Reading blogs at work while listening to Salt ‘N Pepa Very Neccessary

7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do?
He does know about it, and even told me a few days ago that he thought I wrote well. But there are plenty of other times that I would like to poke his eyes out.

8.) What is your best feature, personality wise?
I would like to say my sense of humor, no one else may agree…

9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? So, so hard. We didn’t watch tons of TV, but I would say Mork and Mindy. It was really funny, and my parents would laugh at it too!

10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? Campus Ladies, no question.

11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh? Not so much snubbed, as just turned off by certain elements, one blogger I can think of was incredibly critical of where she lived, everything her husband did, her inlaws did, etc, and I just got tired of reading the negativity day after day. So I stopped reading, it is HER blog, after all!

12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all?
I’m not sure, I haven’t been reading a really long time, but I’m really enjoying what I’ve read so far!

Janes last blog post..Nashville Star Confessions

Yes! I always wanted to change my name to Meggie- from The Thorn Birds.

Can’t recall.

Chocolate Chip Cookies.

7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do?

My spouse is ALWAYS talking about my blog. I think he’s so surprised that I have figured out hosting and code and all that. He doesn’t read it though. When I asked him why- he looked at me and said, you blog about our life right? Right.
Then why do I need to read about it? I just lived it!

Empathy.

9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why?

11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh?

Yes all the time. But I’m not sure if that’s on purpose. I emailed one in particular and she never responded. Also I never see an acknowledgment in her comment section that she’s read the comments. I figure at some point you get too big. What do you think. You seem to get A LOT of comments. Do you get back to them or respond in the comment section? Does it get to be too much. How many do you visit?

12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ?
I want to know more about Divine Caroline. Is it a good group? I signed up but I seem to have a lot to do just to post to my blog. Do people visit you from there?

Thanks for the questions!! I’ll be back. You seem to really interact with your readers. I find that it’s rare these days.

Heat of the Night, or Murder She Wrote. No! Night Court!! I didn’t watch TV other than @ night with my grandparents.

10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why?
JOURNEYMAN. Because it was one of the best shows to premiere in recent years and NBC fucked it over by not promoting it AT ALL. I was/still am livid and very hurt.

11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh?
I quit reading. After 20+ comments and never a response or return visit, I figured she didn’t care if I came around or not.

12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ?
Umm…MCATS.

Amy @ Milk Breath & Margaritass last blog post..At Sea

America is a cool name. I wanted to change my name to Frankie. it’s my dad’s name, and when my mom was pregnant, they kept telling her she was having a boy. My mom was stubborn and named me Frankie Jr. even though I was a girl.
My family made her change it.

2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ?
I have a crush on the guy in the office down the hall from me. I used to call him to flirt, so one day I called and started flirting HARD CORE…turns out it WASN’T HIM!! it was the Chief Judicial Officer.

3.)What is your favorite song? Nadie Como Ella by Marc Anthony (or JLo’s husband *gag*@ referring to him like that, but most ppl have no idea who he is)

4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care?
it doesn’t matter to me. I’ve been super busy lately so I haven’t read this blog since February (right before your birthday and my trip to Puerto Rico where I had a few drinks in your honor), but I always tell ppl how great I think it is that u respond to every comment. I’m glad to be back!

5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win?
the turtle. his body is hard and he snaps. besides, the frog will probably use up most of his energy jumping around while the turtle is hiding. when the frog is worn out, the turtle will kick his butt!

6.) What is your guilty pleasure?
false eyelashes!! I am so addicted to having my lashes done. Even though spend $80 per month and not being able to properly wash my eyes is a pain in the butt, I feel like a corpse without them.

7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do?
I’m single, but my ex always said that chicks weren’t that interesting when it came to writing or telling jokes…or doing anything besides cooking and cleaning, so he rarely read my blog. he’s an EX for a reason!

8.) What is your best feature, personality wise?
most people say I’m funny. I don’t think so, but I’ll take the compliment! it’s weird…when I think I’m being funny, nobody laughs and when I tell a joke thats not so funny, they crack up!

9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why?
I was addicted to Saved by the Bell. I had the BIGGEST crush on Zach!!

10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why?
I miss Friends, but that show kinda ran it’s course. Seinfeld was like the greatest show ever, but it wasn’t ripped off the air. Both of those shows ended gracefully. I’d probably say Six Degrees. it was only on for half of a season before the strike. they started doing online episodes only and then killed it right when things were getting juicy. I miss seeing Jay Hernandez on my tv screen too.

11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh?
I don’t remember, so if it happened, I couldn’t have been TOO offended. I’m a major grudge holder and I’d remember.

12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ?
well I have ALOT of past blog reading to catch up on so I have no requests. I enjoy this blog as it is.

2. I can’t remember exactly what I said that was so embarrassing, I just know I was trying to be funny to DAVID SEDARIS. And I failed. Miserably. Never drink too much wine before meeting a literary idol.

3. Favorite song today is Pitseleh by Elliott Smith. Will be something different tomorrow.

4. Either is fine.

5. I know a turtle who recently survived a fight with a racoon, so I have to go with the turtle. Tough little critters.

6. My guilty pleasure is the Gilmore Girls and massive amounts of cheesy pasta when my husband is out of town.

7. My spouse knows about my blog, but stopped making fun of me when he had to be out of town for a long time and was happy to be able to read my silly posts whenever he wanted. Now he offers to help all the time.

8. I think my best feature is my laid-back attitude. Which I think I have most of the time.

9. My favorite TV show as a kid was Facts of Life. I wore my hair like Jo Polniaczek for years.

10. I would totally bring back My So Called Life, but only if all the actors could be that young and awkward again. They made me feel so normal.

11. I don’t think I’ve ever felt snubbed by a blogger. I only read a few religiously, and I’m terrible about commenting, so nothing ventured…

12. I’m new to your blog, so I’ll have to let you know…

Thanks for the fun questions!

Mariannes last blog post..Bacon Cake Redux

2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ? i have two. The first? “I would never name my kid something effeminate, like…(the name of the son of the guy to whom I was speaking at the time.)” Second, well, that would be a couple of weeks ago, when I dropped the F bomb on my son. He DESERVED it, but, still. I should know better.

Yes I did. But having her call me all kinds of crazy names just made me laugh.
