Ten on Tuesday

Posted in Lists, Ten on Tuesday by

1. Growing up, what was one favourite item that you had to have with you at all times?

I really don’t think there was something that I had to have with me at all times. I know when I was little I had a Mickey Mouse doll that I always went to bed with, but as far as an item that I had to take everywhere, I don’t think there was one! I’ll have to ask my parents I guess.

2. Being an adult, what is one favourite item that you have to have with you at all times, and what happens if you do not have it with you? Do you lose your sanity or just go back home to get it?

I hate to say it, but I feel a little lost when I don’t have my cellphone with me. I usually don’t realize it’s missing until I go to use it, but it’s not something that I’ll drop everything for and rush home to find it. People don’t call or text me enough for me to care.

3. Where is your favourite place to be to just hide away from everything and breathe for a moment?

It used to be my bedroom. I’d hide in my room and watch TV when I needed my personal space, but now that there’s no TV in there, I don’t know! Maybe I’ll start reading in my room more often.

4. What is your favourite thing about your partner? (If you don’t have a partner, then someone who is very close and will always be in your life)

He always has my back, even if he doesn’t get me sometimes. It sounds cheesy, but I’m sure he’d give me the moon if he could.

5. What is your favourite thing about your job? (If you don’t have a job, then what is your favorite thing that you do during your day?)

That it has helped me land freelance work.

6. What is your favourite lesson that your parents taught you growing up? Looking back, is it something that you want to use to teach your children when they reach that age?

“Treat others the way you want to be treated,” and yes, I will tell my children that as well.

7. What is your favourite song, that will always bring a smile to your face and make you think of something happy?

“Why Do Birds” by Karen Carpenter. It sounds ridiculous, but it has amazing memories.

8. What is your favourite things about being an American? (If you not American, what are you proud of in regards to your country)

That in general, we’re friendly people. (I’m Canadian!) And we have some wicked-awesome hockey players.

9. What is your favourite meal that reminds you of being a child?

My grandma’s macaroni and cheese with a side of Shake n’ Bake chicken drumettes. (She still makes them for me too!)

10. Name 3 things that other people would say are their favourite thing about you.

  1. Honest
  2. Funny
  3. Loyal

Happy Tuesday!

50 Questions, Part 5

Posted in 50 Questions, Inspiration, Life, Lists by

Note: My posts for the next couple weeks may be non-existent, or at least very sporadic. The power company is upgrading the power on my street, and I’ll be without power in the mornings. Boo!

Read my answers for #’s 1 through 30 here.

31. At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive?

It might have been graduating from university. It also might have been playing softball. I missed the adrenaline of playing on a team and winning. I hate losing! So I guess you could say I’m passionate about winning and playing sports makes me feel alive.

32. If not now, then when?

Just doing something I love. I suppose it doesn’t have to be winning at something.

33. If you haven’t achieved it yet, what do you have to lose?

Nothing I suppose.

34. Have you ever been with someone, said nothing, and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever?

I can’t say I have, sadly.

35. Why do religions that support love cause so many wars?

I don’t know if religion truly supports love, or at least not all types of love. Maybe that’s why it causes war. We all have our different opinions on what love is or is not, and there’s bound to be an argument or two in there somewhere.

Read my answers for #’s 1 through 25 here.

26. Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?
I’ve want to never to be able to make new ones, because at least I could hold onto what I already have.

27. Is is possible to know the truth without challenging it first?
I think so. I could tell you that the sky is blue and that the grass is green without an argument, unless you’re an asshole.

28. Has your greatest fear ever come true?
Spiders and clowns haven’t taken over the world, so no.

29. Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset?  Does it really matter now?
Since I can’t remember why I was really upset, probably not.

30. What is your happiest childhood memory?  What makes it so special?
Spending time doing anything with my mom and dad together, because they’re now divorced and I can’t do that anymore.
