Linky linky is here, pals, friends and chums!
101. What does happiness/joy feel like physically?
Warm and fuzzy, like an itty bitty bunny ... ♥
102. List five things you love starting with the one you love the absolute most. (My interpretation: People aren't things, so I'm not including them!)
A - Yarn. Natural, vibrant, soft, knittable YARN.
B - My iPhone 5!
C - The beach
D - Singing a great song at the top of my lungs while driving with the windows down on a warm day
E - Itty bitty babies, whether they're people or other animals
103. How many movies have you gone to see this year?
We just went to the movies on Thursday for a mystery shop! Once, so far in 2013. It was Escape From Planet Earth, and I really liked it. It was surprisingly good! I want to get the DVD.
104. If you could have 3 wishes...but none of them could be for yourself, what would you wish for?
A - I would wish for lots more money for my husband. ;) (What? I didn't SAY he had to share!) (But he would.)
B - I would wish for an end to all the world's "issues" caused by the exponential population growth of human beings.
C - I would wish for mandatory parenting classes for all first-time parents. I've seen some bad shit, man.
105. In what ways do you relax and de-stress when you are really tense?
If it's that bad, I have to pop a Klonopin. And then, if I can't nap, I'll read a bunch of magazines and/or knit something mindlessly simple.
106. How much money would it take to get you to sell your blog address?
I don't know. At least tuppence.
107. Have you ever been hunting?
LOL I thought that said "hurting," and I was all, have you met me?! No. I have never been hunting. I never will, either. Bambi's safe from me.
108. Have you attempted this 5000 question meme in the past?
I don't know, but probably. I've been blogging for a while now!
109. What do you think of cloning?
Everything in moderation. The world doesn't NEED another me or you, but repetition certainly has its place.
110. Do you read or watch TV more often?
Since we don't have TV, it's pretty much reading by default.
111. With all this talk of terrorism going around are you willing to sacrifice rights and freedoms for increased safety?
Pfft. If you're not constitutionally allowed to go into a crowded movie theater and yell "FIRE!" then even the 2nd Amendment has its limits, thank you so much. Anyone who thinks that the right to bear arms should be absolutely limitless is a TOTAL FUCKING MORON, and I have no problems saying that to ANYONE. And yes, this is a bit of a passionate issue for me. ;)
112. What is the punishment you would have come up with for Osama Bin Laden if you caught him alive?
I don't know, an eye for an eye, I guess. So would I put him on a suicide plane mission? No. Would I put him on the plane as a terrified passenger? No. Top of a tower about to be hit by a plane? Nope. I would make him love someone with all his heart and soul and then have to bear the pain when that person was tragically ripped from his life forever. Worst pain ever. I know.
113. Have you ever named an individual part of your body?
No. However, I am an odd duck, and I feel bad for my left hand for not getting as much use as my righty, so I often favor it to give it more attention. Wow. I can't believe I'm admitting such kookiness so publicly!
114. Have you ever been on the radio or on TV?
Yeah, both. I posted here recently about the rug store commercial I was on when I was a kid. I have also been interviewed on a radio station about my charity in memory of our son. Twice. That was pretty cool.
115. Have you ever won a lottery or sweepstakes?
I have won a few things, but I'll be darned if I can remember any of them at the moment. Oh, and when I turned 18, I won about $3.50 the first time I played the lottery. The next two weeks, I didn't win anything. Haven't played since.
116. Have you ever won a contest or competition?
Similarly, yes, several things, but I'm hard-pressed to name them!
117. Have you ever watched The Joy of Painting show with Bob Ross (check out this link if you don't know who he is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Ross_(painter)?
Yeah, but I like the South Park version of Bob better than the real one!
118. Do you know what your grandparents and your great-grandparents did for a living?
My mom's dad worked at Tingue Brown as a factory laundry installer for many years. He was a hard-working man up until he died.
My mom's mom was ... a stay-home mom, I guess? I really don't know if she worked before I came along, ever.
My dad's dad also did hard physical labor, but I can't remember the specifics. Both he and dad's mom died before I was born.
I haven't a clue what the greats did. However, my great-aunt (dad's side) was a longtime secretary for Exxon corporate.
119. Is there anything really interesting in your family history?
I tend to think so. My dad's side of the family came from Germany to the Caribbean island of Saba several generations ago. It's a very tiny, not well-known isle, with historically unfriendly harbors, so you have to fly to get there. My dad's father was born there, along with his older sister. The great-aunt, Amy, mentioned above, was born in New York City, though. So I'm a 2nd generation American, right?
On my mom's side, my grandparents met just before World War II. My grandpa asked Grandma out, but she turned him down. She did NOT like him. Then he left to join the Navy and go fight in the war. When he got home, she had had a change of heart and started dating him. Three kids, five granddaughters, and six great-grandkids (so far) have come from that union!
120. Is there anyone you trust completely?
Do I trust anyone 100%? Hmm. Not myself, definitely; I'm too impulsive. I couldn't think of anyone I trusted completely for a while, but now that I think about it, I trust my therapist that much. Maybe she's an odd choice, but she is absolutely fabulous. I'm really sad to be leaving her behind when we move in a few weeks. We've talked about doing remote therapy, though...
Oh, wow. I didn't realize I was at the end, here.
Welp, have a great week, y'all! I'll have more to post soon.
Fin.
