Five Questions
Have you seen the fun little "Five Questions" meme going around Blogland? You send a friend five very random questions and see her answer. Chilihead sent me these, about a hundred years ago, and I'm just now getting around to posting my answers:
1. Jack Bauer or Sawyer?
As easy as Sawyer is on the eyes (oh my WORD is he easy on the eyes), I have to say I've never been the sort to go for the bad guys. ("Oh, really?" my dad is saying as he reads this, thinking about my choices in high school.) Since high school, I've been a sucker for a good guy so I'd choose Jack Bauer. But then again, Jack Bauer's love interests tend to get kidnapped, tortured and murdered, which isn't my idea of a fun date. I'll happily stick with my Hubs, who is as hot as Sawyer and as heroic as Jack Bauer, and nobody loses any body parts.
2. If your life is ever made into a made-for-tv movie, who would play you?
And what a riveting tv movie that would be! [Insert dramatic voice-over]--"Tomorrow, 9/8 Central, a seemingly ordinary houswife discovers that she can actually do ALL the individual voices of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See, and the world is changed forever..."
Who would star in it? Let's see...when I was in high school, people thought I looked like Debbie Gibson, so I'll go with her.
3. What are three things are you doing now that, if you knew 20 years ago that you'd be doing them, you would have freaked out?
Driving a mini-van, getting paid for writing, wearing a size [ahem] jeans.
4. You have five minutes to pack up and leave. What goes and what stays?
Leaving forever, or just for the day? (And I'm assuming it's a given my Hubs and kids are with me.) If I were leaving forever, it would be my Bible, my photo albums, my sewing machine and my cell phone. If I'm just leaving for the day, it's my cell phone and a Diet Coke from Sonic.
5. Your pincushions are selling around the country like hotcakes at a maple syrup convention. Who is the most important person to buy one and why did they buy it?
I'm sorry, what? I was a little distracted by all the hotcakes and maple syrup.
Oh yes, pincushions. I'm sure they would be all the rage in Hollywood, snatched up by the likes of Katie Holmes, Gwyneth Paltrow and Lindsey Lohan, and the women of America would all be inspired to return their domestic roots and take up sewing, and there would be economic collapse because we no longer imported clothing from China, so China would buy nuclear weapons from Iran and go to war with us.
Those are some powerful pincusions, y'all.
Here are my five random questions I'm sending out to anyone who wants to play along:
- If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
- What's the most nerve-racking "close call" you've ever had?
- Name five features your ultimate dream house would have.
- Who has been the most influential non-relative in your life?
- What one non-physical feature would you most like to change about yourself?
