Sunday Stealing | Sleepy Rambles Survey

Sunday Stealing

1. Would you ever try Fear Factor for one million dollars? Why or why not?

Are you kidding? HELL NO!!! Look, I don't even like scary movies and I know they aren't real. I choose not to allow spiders to crawl on my face or to eat cockroaches ... not even for $1M

2. If you use hair spray, what brand do you use the most?

3. Is "Catcher in the Rye" in your library by any chance?

A wee bit of useless trivia about Dana ... I've never read "Catcher in the Rye", nor have I read "To Kill a Mockingbird", "The Great Gatsby", or "Lord of the Flies". I went to high school in the late 70s - early 80s - we were doing the whole "alternative educational environment" at that time - we didn't read classics!

4. What is the best thing about a Barbie doll?

That there are not, nor have there ever been, any Barbie dolls in my home for at least 43 years. I preferred Legos, no matter how much my mom tried to make me a real girl.

5. Cherry or peanut ice cream?

I've seen cherry ice cream *EEUUWWWW* but peanut ice cream?? Like peanut butter cup ice cream? Or moose tracks? Peanut and chocolate ice cream is always a winner!

6. From one to ten, how big of a movie buff are you?

I'd be a -2. Never been a huge movie fan, not sure why, maybe because I've never been impressed with actors and actresses? I prefer a good documentary.

7. Who is a celebrity you think will never get into trouble?

See question 6 - famous people aren't my thing - I'd have a difficult time naming 5 famous people who aren't professional athletes.

8. What is a museum you would like to go to?

If it's an air & flight museum, a history & industry museum, or a science museum I am THERE!! Art museums ... BORING!!!

9. Personally, do you look better with short hair or long hair?

I think I look better with short hair, although 10 years ago you'd have never convinced me of that. I used to think that short hair made my face look fat (fatter), but little did I realize just how much long hair dragged my face down. I don't see me ever going back to long, or even shoulder length hair again.

10. What is the first thing you think of when I say ‘Jack’?

... of all trades, master of none!

11. What do (or did) you call your grandparents?

Grandma and Grandpa Hobert, and Grandma and Grandpa Buhring. How boring is that?!?!

12. What color do you usually paint your nails?

I don't? I seldom paint my nails, if I do (once or twice a year) it's usually a clear nail strengthener type polish.

13. What would be a cool earring design?

Ummmm ... ummmm ... you are asking the woman who has worn a pair of small gold hoops with a pair of diamond stud earrings EVERY SINGLE DAY for the last 20 years. Probably not the fashionista you are looking for.

14. Besides nightmares, what is the scariest thing about sleeping?

Not waking up? Although if I had the opportunity to choose how I'd die? That would be the way to go!

    

10 Things Thursday

1. Why, when networks are giving you times for a new episode of [insert show here], do they give you only eastern and central times (i.e. 9:00 - 8:00 central)? Why are mountain and pacific times not mentioned? Do they just know that those of us in mountain and pacific time zones are smart enough to calculate our viewing time, where as those eastern and central time zone people need some remedial work??
2. If you frequent DIY websites, you've certainly seen paint chip art                
   
                                                                                                               I've always thought these were kind of cool projects, but I had ethical concerns surrounding the acquisition of said paint chips (I know, odd thing to have ethics about). I mean, I get that they are free, but they aren't intended to be free crafting supplies. What do you think?
3. In case you think you might wind up in Africa and then subsequently will be attacked by a gorilla, you should probably read this article.
4. The next time you are invited to a dinner party (do "regular" people actually have those?), don't offer to do the dishes thinking that is proper etiquette. According to this article, your hosts will appreciate you complimenting their home more that you offering to do the dishes. Ummmm ... come to my house and you can do the dishes *wink*  
5. This "controversial" billboard went up in Spokane, WA Monday afternoon     
   
                                                                                                                                                                                                                           The Great PNW is a casual apparel manufacturer located in Spokane. They sell t-shirts, hoodies, hats ... that kind of stuff, all with outdoorsy themes. Apparently the city wasn't too thrilled with this billboard - it was taken down within 12 hours. The good news? You can buy the t-shirt. BRILLIANT marketing!!       
   
                                                                                                               
6. My mom purchased a new (to her) vehicle on Saturday. She upgraded from her PURPLE 2005 Hyundai Accent (affectionately know as Barney) to a 2007 RED Ford Edge crossover SUV. I must admit, I was quite surprised that she chose such a practical vehicle. It must have scared her because Monday she went back to the dealer to try to return it. That didn't go too well for her. *rolls eyes*
7. We had actual weather on Tuesday ... RAIN!!! THUNDER!! LIGHTENING!!
8. Said weather resulted in the following phone conversation between my mom and me:  MOM: I can't find my windshield wipers  ME: *blink*blink* What do you mean? They're on your windshield  MOM: No, I think they are in the same place as yours  ME:*confused* Are you looking to replace your windshield wipers?  MOM: Noooo! I don't know how to turn them on. You're so literal  ME: *silently in my head* And you do not ask clear questions - you should be a little more literal
9. I am so tired of all food things "ology" - donut-ology, pieology, Crepe-ology, Cheese-ology, Sushi-ology, Pho-Ology, Poki-ology. Remember when ologies were things like biology and theology? Now those are real ologies! *get off my lawn*
10. I find the "new" Crispy Colonel                                                                     
    
                                                                                                                Just as creepy as Jack                                                                               
    
                                                                    

TMI Tuesday | Would You Rather

(via TMI Tuesday Blog)

1. Would you rather wrestle naked in a pool of Jello or chocolate pudding?

Who am I wrestling naked? Which would they prefer? See, I despise both of these foods - they feel funny in my mouth. So, since both are icky in my world, I'm going to chose the one that is NOT my competitors preference ... because I'm like that!

2. Would you rather have sex in your parents’ bed or at a mattress store?

Is the mattress store open or closed? Are there people shopping there?? Look! I need to know these things!! Okay ... I've already had sex in my parents' bed, so let's go with the mattress store ... and I hope I can find a Sleep Number Bed.

3. Would you rather have sex on a beach in Hawaii or behind a waterfall in Brazil?

I've never been to Brazil, so let's go with behind a waterfall in Brazil.

4. Would you rather be on top riding your lover all night or taken/taking them from behind all night long? Why?

Ohhhhh ... I'll take being taken from behind each and every time. So, here's the deal ... when I am on top I am focusing about 90% of my energy on pleasing my partner, which means sometimes (*cough* often times) it's not terribly enjoyable for me. But being taken from behind? I can focus on my pleasure and whomever I'm with can focus on theirs!

5. Would you rather have sex with only one person watching but they know it’s you or with 50 people watching and have them not know it is you?

Ummmm ... Yes? Is that an acceptable answer? Both have happened, although it was more like 20 people watching that didn't know me. It matters not!

And don't act surprised ... anyone who has known me for longer than 6 months knows that I don't follow social norms - especially sexual norms - blindly.

Bonus: Would you rather have to pay for sex or be paid to have sex? Explain.

I would rather be paid to have sex. This country has such ridiculous hangups about sex and prostitution. If I can make money having sex? Yes please!!
