1. When I was a teenager, I used to ride all the "spin-y" rides at the fair and fun parks. I'd never get dizzy or sick, and I could ride them all day. My favorite was the Tilt-A-Whirl. Now I should call it the "Tilt-A-Hurl" because it seems I can't even get on a Merry-Go-Round without feeling queasy. Is there anything you used to be able to do physically that you no longer can? What changed?
I don't think that I used to have a problem with the Ferris wheel, but I have a fear of heights and now have to be dragged on to the Ferris wheel. Meanwhile, I have to drag people onto the Tilt-A-Whirl.
2. If you could go to lunch with someone famous, anyone living or dead, who would you choose? What questions would you ask them?
I would have lunch with John Hannah so that I could actually have a chance to talk to him. When I met him a the summer before my senior year of high school, I was unbelievably nervous and Srah made me promise not to ramble on, so I pretty much stayed silent. I would ask him about movies and TV. I would basically just try to have a conversation with him instead of trying to interview him.
3. On that same thought, there are probably several Bloggers you enjoy reading but have never met in real life. Which one Blogger would you most like to meet for dinner? Why did you pick that person? What would you talk about? What do you have in common? What would you do after dinner?
I really couldn't choose. I like reading all sorts of different blogs for different reasons and I'm not sure who I would want to meet the most or what we would talk about and have in common.
4. Money (or the lack thereof) is the number one cause of arguments amongst couples. Do you find this to be true? If there really was a "Money Tree" you could go an pick, would this really solve a couple's problems?
Probably not, I think that money can be a problem, but that a lot of times it is just an excuse to fight. But hey, I've never been on a date, so I probably shouldn't comment.
5. Speaking of arguments, have you ever been drawn into any nasty, hateful arguments? The kind where hurtful things were said that had nothing to do with the fight at hand? What was that all about? How did it turn out?
Sometimes people I was supposed to be friends with during high school made fun of me for my perpetually dateless state and the fact that I didn't have a drivers' license. They made me cry a lot but then I would realize that they were spiteful and catty and that someday they would get treated the same way that I did and they would eventually know how I felt (but I still wanted to punch them in the nose).
6. When was the last time you had to admit you were wrong about something? How did that go?
I am never wrong. It was my ex-roommate's fault that we are no longer roommates. I am still incredibly bitter in case you can't tell. My hall is doing Secret Santas and I am really grateful that I didn't get her name, because I would have been really upset if I had to give her another present that she would never even acknowledge receiving. Once again, I will post about this sometime when I have a huge amount of free time.
7. Now for a slight change of theme....what song should never have been written?
If I ever meet the person who wrote "Who let the dogs out?" I will run them over with my car several times, then get out of the car and jump up and down on them. I HATE THAT SONG!!!!!!!!!
BONUS: Are you ready for a new sensation?
Of course, the current sensation feels too much like I stuck my finger in an electrical outlet, oh wait, WHOOPS!
