We can be bored together...

I saw this meme on Amber's blog and decided to "borrow" it this morning. Mostly because I'm bored with my blog and am really not feeling inspired to write much these days. I figured if I'm going to be bored, you might as well be too. So read at your own risk, and don't say I didn't warn you.


1. What is your name spelled backwards? H-T-I-D-E-R-E-M. Nice, huh?

2. What did you do last night? Sorted a million bajillion digital pics and went to bed with a blinding headache.

3. What was the last thing you downloaded onto your computer? Free digital fonts from BeckyHiggins.com
4. Have you ever licked a 9 volt battery? Why would anyone do that?

5. When was the last time you swam in a pool? Last summer.

6. What are you wearing? Arkansas Razorbacks sweatshirt and red/black plaid pajama pants.

7. How many cars have you owned? In almost 20 years of marriage we've owned 8 cars. And we've named every single one of them.
8. What is the type of music you dislike most? Old school country music. Much to the dismay of my husband.

9. Are you registered to vote? Absolutely. Have been for 20+ years.

10. Do you have cable? A very, very basic package for which we pay $10/month. And can I just tell you how NICE it was to watch the Olympic coverage this year without having to adjust the rabbit ears!

11. What kind of computer do you use? MacBook

12. Have you ever made a prank phone call? Guilty.

13. Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving? Neither. I'm very afraid of heights.

14. What is the furthest place you ever traveled? I don't know. I've been to every corner of the US but I've never been outside of it.
15. What's your favorite comic strip? I can't tell you the last time I read the comics. I used to love Family Circus though. Is that still around???

16. Do you know all of the words to the national anthem? Yes!

17. Do you shower in the morning or at night? In the morning, but if I work out in the afternoon then I'll shower again at night.

18. What is your favorite pizza topping? Goat cheese!

19. Chips or popcorn? Hmmmmm...I love popcorn, but I also love Nacho Cheese Doritos. [Here's a joke for you: What do you call cheese that doesn't belong to you? Nacho cheese.] My kids think that is so funny.

20. What cell phone provider do you use? Verizon. And still waiting for Apple and AT&T to break up so we can get iPhones. We will NOT switch to AT&T.

21. Have you ever smoked peanut shells? People smoke peanut shells? I've never smoked anything in my life.

22. Have you ever been in a beauty pageant? Um, no.

23. Orange juice or apple juice? Orange juice. Either freshly squeezed or Simply Orange.

24. Who were the last people you sat at lunch with? Myself. I hardly ever go out for lunch anymore. I'm too cheap.

25. Favorite chocolate bar? Don't like chocolate.

26. Who is your oldest friend and how long have you known eachother? I keep up with lots of long time friends, but I guess my oldest would be my sister. I've known her since I was 15 months old! ;)

27. When was the last time you ate a homegrown tomato? Last summer...in Arkansas. I LOVE tomatoes!

28. Have you ever won a trophy? Yes! I won a couple for placing in my age division in some road races I did back in my running days. One of them was the Chicken and Egg Festival 5K in Prescott, AR. Impressive, eh?
29. Favorite arcade game? Centipede.

30. Ever ordered from an infomercial? It's probably a good thing that I can say no to this, right?
31. Sprite or 7-UP? Neither. I prefer my carbonated beverages to have caffeine.

32. Have you ever had to wear a uniform to school/work? I don't think so. Not even in my Catholic school days.
33. Last thing you bought at Walgreens? Photo prints. And candy to sneak in the movie theater.

34. Ever thrown up in public? Uh huh. And it wasn't pretty. I'll spare you the list.

35. Would you prefer being a millionaire or finding true love? Hmmmm.... I'd choose love.

36. Do you believe in love at first sight? I don't think so. Attraction? Yes. But I don't think you "fall" in love, you have to "grow" in love.

37. Spongebob or Jimmy Neutron? Spongebob. I've only recently let my kids watch this show and I've gotta tell you that it's pretty funny sometimes.

38. Did you have long hair as a young kid? Yes, very long hair! Until I begged my mom to let me get a Dorothy Hamill cut. She relented, and I'd like to burn the pics of myself from age 1975-76. Thankfully my locks grew out and I kept them long for many years.

39. What message is on your voicemail machine? I don't ever call myself so I don't know! I think it's just the standard message where I inserted my name when the nice lady told me to.

40. Where would you like to go right now? To Hawaii. My friend is going for Spring Break and I'd like to stow away in her suitcase.

41. What's the name of your pet? Jack-the-fat-lazy-disobedient-Beagle.

42. What kind of back pack do you have, and what's in it? REI brand and right now it's empty. I wear it when I hike and fill it with water, snacks, lip balm, and tissue.

43. What kind of tennis shoes do you have? Brooks Glycerin. I used to buy Nike (because I liked the colors/styles) but the guy at the running store put me on the treadmill, watched me run, and suggested Brooks. I've never bought another brand since. They fit my very-narrow feet perfectly and have the cushion/stability I need!

44. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone? John.

45. Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny? Mickey.

Wait, wait, wait...back up..."don't like chocolate?!" I need some time to process this.

I too LOVED Centipede and HATED my Dorothy Hamill haircut, that my MOM made me get. I never got my hair cut short again as a young person. (But I'm not bitter)

I have a picture of me from college standing by the Prescott, AR sign. Yes, I am from Texas.

"4. Have you ever licked a 9 volt battery?"

I'm thinking that's a guy thing. Kind of like licking cold metal. :)

And now I really really really want an AR homegrown tomato. sigh.

Amber said...

So glad you played.... Because useless information is the most fun to learn about someone!! :)

Carpool Queen said...

I have licked the 9 volt battery, but I was eight and blogging hadn't been invented, so no one knows about it.

Angie @ Flibbertigibberish said...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Just kidding! I like random posts like this. :) I think you can lick a battery to see if it's still "good" - although I'm WAY too afraid to have ever tried it myself. *shudder* But why, oh WHY, would anyone smoke peanut shells? Who thinks of that stuff?

And now... I'm craving Simply Orange. Yum.

I'm a little worried about our non-existent relationship. How could you not choose Bugs Bunny?!
Huh, I have to go. It makes me a little nervous to be here now.
I'll see you Monday if I get over the shock.

Kendra said...

I totally forgot about that crazy Chicken and Egg festival! Good times in a small town!

Virginia said...

Loved reading this. The dislike of chocolate still blows my mind.

Mollie said...

Oh My!! Dorothy Hamil...I am with you- I had one too!! Ugh!!

Gretchen said...

My favorite Family Circus comic says, "Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet, eating her curves away.". :)

Centipede? You ARE almost 40. :)

love, the battery licker.

Tami said...

I agree with you about the iPhone. I refuse to get one until they get Verizon service. My husband assures me it will happen one day.

Obviously I'm way behind on my blog reading.

#37 - You know that big, silly smile that Spongebob has when he figures out that Squidward secretly love crabby patties? I have that smile right now.

#43 - I've never heard of Brooks tennis shoes. I need to check those out because I have extremely narrow feet too and my feet slide around in my Nikes. Not that I run in them, of course. That would just be silly.
