1. Do you wear a name tag at work?
Why would I? I work from home.

2. What kind of car do you drive?
Heh….right.

3. What do you order when you go to Taco Bell?
Quesadilla – yummo!

(more…)

I’ve never done the Saturday 8 before; so I figured I’d give it a shot. It’s kind of early in the morning so this weeks questions aren’t up yet, I’ll just do last weeks.¬† I’m sure the owner wouldn’t mind too much.

do you have any of the following gadgets, and what kind? when did you get them?

1. cellphone? A very cheap nokia that came with the plan.

2. digital camera? Olympus SP-350, got it free ::hugs freedigitalcamers.com::

3. video camera? Olympus SP-350 – has a movie option 🙂

4. video game console? I think I have all my bases covered.¬† XBox360, Wii, DS, PS2, Game Cube, XBox.¬† Now if only I could get my hands on the PSP that’s possibly lost in this house somewhere, I’d be a happy girl haha.¬† I refuse to buy a PS3, I’ll tell you that much.

5. TiVo/DVR? No, but we’ll have a DVR with the move. You get one free from the cable company. Oh the joy!

6. mp3 player/iPod? iPod ::hugs freeipods.com:: haha

7. laptop computer? Yea, I got it almost two years ago HP DV5000. Unfortunately the power chord just blew out on me yesterday so hopefully I can get a replacement before we move. :ugh:

8. any widget or app on your phone or computer to makes your life easier (commute time calculator, on-time flight alert, zocdoc, etc.)? I think that my excellently coded spreadsheets makes life easy, but the Active Desktop Calendar certainly keeps me on track.

Another installment of Tuesday Twosome

1. Two fruits and/or vegetables that you identify with fall: Apples and Pumpkins
2. Two colors that you identify with fall: Orange and Red
3. Two events that you identify with fall: Football and Hay Rides
4. Two adjective that describe fall: Cool and Playful
5. Two favorite things/activities that you identify with fall: Pumpkin Picking and Trick-or-Treating

I guess Orange is a pretty prominant color for me, eh? heh

While this weeks listing isn’t posted yet by the owner of the site, the topic has already been noted so naturally I’ll jump on board.

This is my first installment of Ten on Tuesday.

10 Things That Worry You

1. Getting old
2. Going broke
3. Forgetting who I am
4. Forgetting where I came from
5. Family Health (a few of them aren’t doing very well)
6. Losing Bella
7. How I’m going to be as a parent, if I ever allow it to happen
8. Will I ever just be comfortable.
9. If I’ll ever kick my OCD habits
10. Will I ever be able to kick back and relax while someone else maintains the house?

Not the best of lists, but it’s also almost 2am.

I’ve never done The Daily Three before, so I figured I’d see how I liked it.

1. Do you feel the need to say something such as “There you go!” when handing something to another person? It depends. When I was a cashier I was usually good on keeping my mouth shushed. If they were a bitchy customer, however, I didn’t quite have that censor.

2. In reference to different regional slang, how do you describe the following things where you’re from?

a.) An expensive item (for instance in MN, we use the term “spendy”.) For me it’s usually “Nope, can’t afford it”. Guess that’s another way of saying “pricey” huh?
b.) The place where you buy food Depends on where we’re going. If I’m in the mood for Italian I just say Pizza and everyone else kind of jumps on board – even if they’re getting a calzone or a chicken parm. dinner or something.
c.) The fizzy stuff you generally drink from a can or bottle Soda, most people say pop but I find it absurd.

3. List three cities in your state/province that have odd spellings. Challenge your friends list to pronounce them correctly. For instance: Faribault, MN is pronounced FARE-uh-bo.
I’ll base it on NY terms because down here it’s pretty straight forward:

Wantagh
Aquebogue
Copaigue

Good Luck with those. heh.

I haven’t done the Loaded Questions meme in quite some time now, so I figured I’d head over to Lynda’s site and take a peak at this weeks questions.

Hypotheticals: If you were city commissioner, what would you do to make your city better?
For starters I’d get some kind of a recycling system going on because of the dumping problems. I’d also have more than 7 police officers for the entire “town”. Right now they only cover a three block radius around the beach and I find it completely absurd. I could really go on with this list, but that’s a whole new thousand-word entry.

Anything Goes: What book should be banned based on its boring subject matter?
See Spot Run – The damn dog doesn’t go anywhere!

No-Brainers: What is your favorite cliche?
Buy now, pay later.

Personals: What would you guess your IQ is?
I’ve actually taken a test on this recently at a local school. (Don’t ask). It was in the 135 range.

Time for another weekly installment of Monday Madness!

1. How many desktop computers in your home? Three that are used on a regular basis, two that are being worked on for future servers.

2. How many laptops? Two, hardly ever used but two.

3. What kind of internet service do you have? (i.e. phone modem, dsl, etc.) Comcast Cable, they suck!

4. Do you tend to use more than one email account regularly? I have a business account and a personal one. The rest just kind of collect spam…and dust.

5. Do you use email as a main source for communicating to your family and friends? AIM when I’m in the mood, the rest of the time is usually messages back and forth through either myspace or email.

6. What kind of computer monitor do you own (flatscreen, or other)? LCD, I’m getting a second one in upcoming weeks so I can utilize my dual-monitor graphics card.

I’ve never done this before, figured I’d give it a shot: Five on Friday

1. Do you wear a watch? No, they’re a nuisance.

2. How often do you look at the time, either on a watch or some other timepiece? Every few hours, depending on what’s going on.

3. Would you say you have a good sense of time? In other words, how good are you at estimating how much time has passed? Fairly decent I’d think. I know it’s taken me about 20 minutes to complete everything I was just working on and that was without even looking at the clock.

4. Are you early, punctual, or perpetually late? I’m typically not late for anything and if I was, it’s usually someone else’s fault.

5. Do you ever wish your time management skills were different? How? No, I’m pretty good at managing my time.

Time for another edition of Monday Madness. It’s a little late in the day, I know – but I didn’t get around to checking my meme-based inbox to get the notification. Note: Otto, your emails are coming through just fine for me, not sure if it’s the same for anyone else though.

1. What ONE thing would you like to accomplish before the end of the day? Getting dinner in the oven.

2. What one goal would you like to attain before the end of the month? Exceeding the number I have set for myself in regards to income, sofar – so good.

3. Are you a “to-do list” writer? If so, do you stick to your list and cross things off as you complete them? Yes, and I do. Nothing wrong with keeping on track. It’s hard to do with the Wii sitting behind me though. It’s still got that “new” feel three days later and I just can’t stop!

4. In general, how organized do you feel you are? Typically I’m very organized, to the point of being anal retentive because I will refold clothes if something happened to fall off the shelf. I will admit that for the last few days I’ve been slacking but that’s based on the situation with the unwanted houseguest as well.

5. How many piles of papers/junk mail/etc. do you have laying around your house? None of it’s mine, but it’s all over the place!

6. Which ONE surface in your home do you have trouble keeping clean? Anything involving the kitchen, again that’s also a situation thing. I do have trouble in the bathroom too, Sean hasn’t quite grasped the concept of cleaning his hair out of the sink when she shaves his face and furthermore, you can only handle dealing with so many toothpaste spots before you want to rip someone’s little face off.

Time for another weekly installment of TMI Tuesday!

1. What’s the sexiest type of underwear? I find boxers sexy, thongs are cute and all but unless you’re the right body type to wear one it’s really not worth it.

2. Would you/have you ever paid money for sex? I barely give it up for free, why would I want cash for it?

3. Is facial/body hair sexy or no? (Moustache, chest, etc. for men, and underarms/legs for women.) Or do you frankly not care? It depends on just how much hair you’re dealing with. I like the mustache/goatee combo but clean everywhere else (face wise). I find hair on women to be disgusting but that’s because I spend a lot of time keeping myself smooth and trimmed.

4. What is the strangest thing you’ve ever seen featured in pornography? I saw some chick take a 2 liter soda bottle right up the booty. Scarred me for life!

5. What’s worse, not enough sex or too much? Is there such a thing as “too much”? I find too much to be annoying, but then again that’s just how I roll.

I haven’t done this here before, I figured I’d give it a shot. This is my first weekly installment of TMI Tuesday.

1. Who was your childhood hero? I can honestly say that I didn’t have one.

2. Have you ever had sex with someone who has a myspace page? Yes, but in my defense I didn’t MEET him off myspace!

3. What fantasies have you openly told your partner about? I don’t have any.

4. Have you ever said you love someone but didn’t mean it? No, I haven’t.

5. Have you ever woke up in the morning and did not know the person who was next to you? Yes but it was more the drunken “What’s your name again?” kind of a thing. No sex happened at all, I didn’t know half the people on that porch. Parties+Alcohol+Kids=Strangeness.

I’ve never done this meme before so I figured I’d give it a shot, it’s called The Thursday Threesome and each week a series of three words are worked into a then series of questions, this weeks questions include:

:: At Long Last ::

Onesome: At– the head of the line for the iPhones, were you? No? What do you think of all the hoopla. …and the continuing hype? Just curious… I think the phone itself is kind of useless, honestly. I have my iPod and I have a cellphone with internet capabilities, what’s the point in an all in one that’s all digital and can easily be broken? At least if the screen is dinged up on my cellphone, I know I can still make a phone call in an emergency. Since the iPhone is all digital it really causes more problems than it should have. I heard it shuts down quite a bit. And even Sean says the phone is good in theory – it just wasn’t really created properly to meet with the typical demand of avid cellphone users.

Twosome: Long– roads to forever… Do you have a favorite road/trail/path you like to travel just for the scenery? Living in Delaware all you see is farms, by the time you actually hit civilization – you’re already asleep from boredom.

Threesome: Last– year did you think you’d be doing what you ended up doing for the holiday yesterday? …or did plans change a bit? I don’t have any plans for 4th of July, I never really have. Fireworks are great and all but when you’ve seen them for the last 22 years, you get sick of them.

This meme is rather new to me, I figured I’d give it a shot though. This one is called That’s My Answer!

The question of the day: You’ve been given the task of putting together a box set of the ‘funniest movies of all time’, what movies will you choose?

A question like this is really hard for me to answer because I watch so many comedies. I’d say my top picks would be something like:

The Birdcage
Revenge of the Nerds
Sister Act
Ghostbusters
Dumb and Dumber
Roxanne
When Harry Met Sally
Police Academy Series
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Meet the Parents
Best in Show
Clerks
Legally Blonde
Wayne’s World
The Jerk
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
The Naked Gun Series
Ace Ventura
Animal House
Caddyshack.

Okay, so the list wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be and I know for a fact that they would never release a set of movies this large but it would be pretty damn cool if they actually did!

Time for the weekly installment of 3x Thursday.

1. As an adult, do you feel the same about holiday’s off from work versus the way you felt when you got them off for school? How so/how not? Everyone loves a day off but when you get older it can really just be annoying to even deal with the holidays. When you were younger you didn’t have to worry about pulling in some extra overtime just so you could get that check in time to buy all of the last minute gifts. Now, that’s what most in the working class tend to do, they go overboard and pay for it later. I seriously believe Christmas was what manufactured the world of credit cards.

2. What about birthdays? Do you view them differently now as you get older? Why/why not? I don’t care too much about birthdays. For me it’s just adding another year and closing another chapter, honestly.

3. New releases: Remember how psyched you were when you heard that your favorite band was coming out with a new album on a certain date? Do you still feel that same kind of excitement now? Why/why not? I don’t listen to music the same way now as I did back then. There’s too much going on around me where music can only get in the way.

I’ve never done this particular meme before so when I came across it, I felt the need to write about it. This is a weekly Wednesday meme named Loaded Questions. The questions are broken down into four categories every week, the same categories continue weekly only the questions change.

Hypotheticals: If you could only work on one body part at the gym, what would it be? I think I would just work in general, honestly.

Anything Goes: Use one adjective to describe the game of baseball? Overrated.

No-Brainers: What would you like to know more about? Any and everything my brain can soak up!

Personals: What is the last movie that made your eyes tear up? I don’t really tear up at any movie but there are ones that make me feel all warm and tingly inside, no matter what the topic is, really. Hell, I did choak up a little bit the other night with Shrek just as Fiona and Shrek kissed and they lived happily ‘ugly’ after…heh.

It’s now time for the weekly installment of the Tuesday Twosome.

1. First two things you see when you wake up: Typically the clock and then somehow Bella always seems to pounce on me so all I ever see is a wagging tail and fluffy little face coming right at me.

2. First two things you touch when you wake up: I’ll pet Bella and then attempt to make my hair look somewhat presentable

3. First two things you do when get out of bed: I pee and then I smoke.

4. First two things you eat in the morning: I rarely eat in the morning, but I’m kind of the coffee and snack on things person.

5. First two places you ride/drive/walk/bike to in the morning: I walk down the stairs so Bella can pee and then I walk back up to the porch to have my cig – see how easy my mornings are?
