1. Do you decorate for Valentine’s day?

No. I never understood people who decked out their homes for every holiday. Halloween? Okay. Christmas? Of course! But St. Patrick’s Day? Valentine’s Day? Flag Day? No. I used to have a neighbour who decorated her front door EVERY HOLIDAY. It was annoying.

2. Does your desktop have a picture or computer graphic? Is it organized?

It has a photo that I took of a petunia. I guess it’s somewhat organized:

I have a two different day planners, both paper! One’s in my bag and the other’s on my desk at work.

4. Do you change purses or bags often or stick with a good thing?

I stick with a good thing. I can’t justify spending money of different bags/purses, although I do need a new clutch or something for going out.

5. What’s your favourite YouTube Video?

That’s a good question. I do enjoy College Humour. I watch a lot of music videos on YouTube as well (mostly on the VEVO channel). Oh, and the Old Spice Guy! HILARIOUS!

6. Do you use Turbo Tax or a real person to pay your taxes?

We go to H&R Block to have our taxes done. It’s quick and they do a great job.

Only two! Haha – I’ve been to Washington State and California – Not many, in other words!

8. How many countries have you been in? Which ones?

Again, only two, if count the one I live in, lol.

9. How many pillows are in your house? (Sleeping or decorative)

Four I think? Two on our bed and two on the spare bed.

10. How cold is too cold for flip flops?

I’ve never actually noted the temperature when I toss the ol’ flippity-flops on. Maybe 15 degrees? I have no idea.

1. What’s your favourite color to paint your nails?

I don’t usually paint my fingernails because they chip way too easily, and chipped nails, to me, look skanky. Because I’m lazy, and don’t want to look skanky, I therefore don’t paint them. My toenails, however, are usually painted to match the season: Dark, rich colours in the winter, happy, bright colours in the summer.

2. Do you like to sneeze?

No, but sometimes it feels good, like when I’m having an allergic reaction to cats.

3. How often do you fill up your car with gas?

Every two weeks, more or less. It depends on how far I go. In the city I usually get about 250-300kms from one tank of gas. Highway – I think my record is 450kms.

4. Were you named after anyone?

Nope. My name is what it is because it’s the only one my parents could agree on, which is a good thing. My dad wanted to name my Billie. Thanks Mom for vetoing that one!

5. Have you made any good recipes lately?

I whipped together an awesome beef teriyaki stir-fry last week, no recipe involved. I guess I was harnessing my inner Asianness.

6. What’s an easy money-saving tip that you use regularly?

Give yourself a bi-weekly cash allowance and leave your debit card at home. I do this when my bank account is hurting and it works WONDERS for me.

7. Would you rather have a sore throat or an ear ache?

Sore throat. You can stop talking to help a sore throat, but you can’t stop hearing.

8. Do you have any scars? What are they from?

I have one on my knee from rollerblading when I was little, and one on my elbow from a couch-zipper. Long story.

9. What are you “known for” in your circle of friends/family?

I have no idea, really. My disgusting sense of potty humour? Being half-Asian? Tell me, folks who actually know me in real life …

10. How do you like to eat your pancakes?

With butter and tonsssss of maple syrup. Like, an absurd amount. The Canadian maple syrup thanks me for keeping them in business on a weekly basis. No lies.

1. Is there a band/artist that you HATE?

Everytime a Justin Bieber song is played, a cute baby monkey dies. Sorry kids, better stop listening to the Biebs. For the monkeys!

2. What do you do when you get a gift that you do not like? How do you react?

I usually smile a fake smile and say, “Oh neat! Thanks!” …. “No no, I like it, I swear!”

3. How is your work office/cubicle decorated?

It’s not, really. The only bit of decoration I have is a little picture printed off my email that reads, “How is it that even after Monday and Tuesday, the calendar says ‘W.T.F.’?” I’m that awesome. Someone send me flowers?

4. Do you use all of your vacation every year?

Yes. At Job #1 I’m pretty sure we can’t bank all our vacation time, and at Job #2, I hate it so much I’ll take all the time off I can get. (This year it’s for some random wedding … weird! ;))

5. Did you have a real or fake Christmas tree?

Real all the way! They just smell so good, and really, they’re better for the environment. GOOGLE IT.

King crab and steak. Right meow. But, my dad is cooking me a roast, so that’s pretty good too!

7. Do you bite your fingernails?

Ick, no. I don’t understand people who can!

8. How many cups of coffee do you drink each day?

Usually one giant mug in the morning. I think it hold about 3-4 cups? Since I got my Tassimo I just make my little pod and then add as much extra as I can. (Have I mentioned how much I love my Tassimo? LOVE!)

9. Do you have a nervous tick?

Not that I’m aware of …

10.  How often do you vacuum?

Probably not often enough. I’d say once a week if I’m on top of it. Dog hair gets craaaazzyy around here!
