Link up here if you're playing along this week!
Cheers to all of us thieves!
36. Have you watched American Horror Story?
Nope, I have no idea what that is, sorreh.
37. Baseball hat or toque?
Uhh... I have this beret I like to wear. So, toque?
38. Do you shampoo or soap up first in the shower?
Shampoo, wash face, rinse hair, condition, soap up, rinse hair. Since you asked. :P
39. Wet the toothbrush or brush dry with the toothpaste?
Wet
40. Pen or pencil?
Pen. I hate writing with a pencil. Hate.
41. Have you ever gambled at a casino?
Yeah, with someone else's money. I lost it quickly. Just as well; I'm not the gambling type.
42. Have you thrown up on a plane?
What kind of questions are these? It's like you just threw a bunch of words up in the air and let them land where they may. Um, no.
43. Have you thrown up in a car?
Okay, yes. I have done that. Couple times.
44. Have you thrown up at work?
Yesss... what's with all these upchucking questions? I threw up at the vet's office once too, when I was pregnant with my oldest. Embarrassing!
45. Do you scream on roller coasters?
I rarely go on roller coasters, because I'm chickenshit, but hell yes, I scream like a mofo.
46. How many shoes do you have?
Not a ton. I have a shoe organizer thingy on the back of my closet door. It's full. Mostly Crocs, flip-flops and slippers. I'm no fashionista, people.
47. Who was your first roommate?
Jen from Rochester. She was nuttier than I was, if you can imagine that. I liked her, for the most part, until she went total fruitcake on me and dropped out of university. Never heard from her again.
48. What alcoholic beverage did you drink when you got drunk for the first time?
Multiple shots of Goldschläger, when I was 17. I was a wreck, but I bowled better than I ever did sober, so hey.
49. What was your first job?
Babysitting, if that counts, followed by working for my dad in his travel agency, if that counts, followed by a local small supermarket cashier gig. I loved that freakin' job. My customers were awesome!
50. What was your first car?
1991 red Ford Escort Wagon. I bought it in 1993. I drove it maybe half a dozen times. Long story.
51. When did you go to your first funeral?
When my great-aunt Amy died, when I was about 15 or so. She lived in Manhattan, but the funeral was in Staten Island, I think. Or maybe we just went there as long as we were in the city, since my dad grew up on SI. We visited Aunt Amy a lot during her life, though, so it's... babble time, apparently.
52. How old were you when you first moved away from your hometown?
Six. We lived in Monroe, NY, until then, and moved up to the Syracuse area. When I moved away, on my own, after that, it was to Miami for college. Oh wait, I'm forgetting the summer between high school and college, when I lived in South Carolina with my dad.
53. Who was your first grade teacher?
I had subs all year long. My teacher was supposed to be Mrs. Sullivan, but she had a baby, like, the week before school started, and apparently they had no back-up plan. I had a different sub every day of the year until we moved up to the Syracuse area in April of that year. Then it was Mrs. Mullins at first, until I tested up to the "smart kids' class," and I can't remember the new teacher's name...
54. Where did you go on your first airplane ride?
From Newark, NJ, to Syracuse, NY. I was five. I rode by myself. My older sister was supposed to go, but she was scared to fly by herself, so they sent me instead. I loved it. Wait, that was my first solo flight. I don't remember my actual first flight. I've been flying forever, my whole life. I should be a damn pilot by now. Probably the same trip, though, in either direction.
55. When you snuck out of your house for the first time, who was it with?
Julie, who I was fortunate enough to reconnect with on Facebook years later, after she moved away that summer. That was three years ago, and we're still tight. She was sleeping over at my house, and we left in the middle of the night to go buy junk food at the grocery store down the road apiece. I was shitting my pants, I was so nervous! It was fun, though. That's the only time I ever snuck out, more or less.
56. Who was your first best friend and are you still friends with them?
Victoria Dixon. She was petite and beautiful, I thought. That was in Monroe; I haven't heard from her since I moved at six. Holy old memories in this meme, eh?
57. Where did you live the first time you moved out of your parents’ house?
My dorm room at the U of Miami, and I loved it!
58. Who is the first person you call when you have a bad day?
My husband at work, if he's not home. If he is home, I just talk to him.
59. Whose wedding were you in the first time you were a bridesmaid or a groomsmen?
My dad's, with his third wife. (He's on Wife #5 now.) I was eight. My mother had died a year earlier. I hardly felt celebratory.
60. What is the first thing you do in the morning?
Try not to wake up, give up, and go pee.
61. What was the first concert you attended?
It was either Whitney Houston or Bon Jovi. This was the 80s, when Whitney was still the shiznat.
62. First tattoo or piercing?
No tattoos. Four piercings in each ear, though I rarely fill them. I got my nose pierced when I turned 21. I still wear it.
63. First celebrity crush?
Matt Dillon! That makes me laugh now, for some reason...
64. What's your favorite number?
64! Okay, I totally just added that question myself because, hello, it's my favorite number and I wanted to end on it. :P
Okay, I'm tired and have a headache, so no witty parting remarks. See you in a week.
Fin.
LOL You couldn't get me on when I was a kid, but Lisa M.S. used to get me on them in college. I was the same, aaaaaaghhhh!

Ugh, I hate roller-coasters. I won't be going on one ever again, but back when I let people talk me into doing things I didn't want to do I would clench my eyes closed and just wait until the misery ended. No screaming. Nothing.
