The ASK Meme, part one
1. What’s your favorite candle scent?
I love all the fruity scents, but apple is my favorite!
2. What female celebrity do you wish was your sister?
Parker Posey just seems like she'd be so much fun as a big sister!
3. What male celebrity do you wish was your brother?
These two questions were hard for me, but I picked Drew Carey. He just seems like a really cool guy.
4. How old do you think you’ll be when you get married?
I was 24... that's about what I figured it would be.
5. Do you know a hoarder?
Well, no, not really. But since we've downsized into a place about a third as big as our home in Virginia Beach and have only half-finished unpacking, people might think we are!! (We're not. We're getting rid of as much as we can, as fast as we can!)
6. Can you do a split?
I googled "Painful Split" and of course, lots of celebrities who divorced came up... along with, inexplicably. this. Ha! But no, I can't anymore. I used to be able to, but my joints are locked up tight now.
7. How old were you when you learned how to ride a bike?
I was 7 before I got rid of my training wheels. My kids still need them; we can't afford proper bikes for them. I wish we could... :(
8. How many oceans have you swam in?
Two: The Atlantic a million times, and the Pacific, namely Tumon Bay in Guam, like in the picture above. Yep, I was there!
9. How many countries have you been to?
I've been on several cruises, so that ups my count a lot. Namely: USA, Canada, Mexico, Cayman Islands, Bahamas, {Puerto Rico}, {Guam}, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Panama, Spain, France, Monaco, Italy, Greece, Croatia, and I think I'm forgetting one or two in there... But I've lots more to go!
10. Is anyone in your family in the military?
My husband just retired from 20 years of service in the US Navy. My grandfather served in the Navy in WWII, and my Uncle Chris was also in the Navy. My dad was in the Coast Guard. I don't have anyone in currently, though.
11. Have you named any of your body parts?
A long, long time ago, my boobs were Chip and Dale... lol. But no, I don't do that now.
12. If you had a child today, what would you name him/her?
I'd give anything to have more, but that's impossible. A girl would be Victoria Jane, and a boy would be either Jasper James or Sebastian James. Jasper Sebastian is probably too much!!
13. What’s the worst grade you got on a test?
I've never gotten an F, but I did get a D on an Ichthyology exam that I'd studied my ass off for in graduate school. That killed me!
14. What was your favorite TV show when you were a child?
I used to love this show!!
15. What did you dress up as on Halloween when you were eight?
Who remembers? That was nearly 30 years ago for me...
16. Have you read any of the Harry Potter, Hunger Games or Twilight series?
Nope, nor seen the movies. It's just not my cup of tea.
17. Would you rather have an American accent or a British accent?
I'd love to have a British accent!
18. Did your mother go to college?
I think, but I'm not positive, that she did a semester or a year at Bronx Community College. Don't quote me on that, though...
19. Are your grandparents still married?
All of my grandparents are gone, now.
20. Have you ever taken karate lessons?
No, but that is something I think it would be fun to do. My parents went to one lesson when I was small, and my mom came running out of the dojo with my dad chasing after her. She'd done a kick and peed her pants! Hahaha...
21. Do you know who Kermit the Frog is?
Sure, doesn't everybody?!
22. What was the first amusement park you’ve been to?
I really can't remember the first one, maybe Disney World?? When I was five, with my grandparents? But I most remember Darien Lake from my childhood, in Western New York.
23. What language, besides your native language, would you like to be fluent in?
I'd love to be fluent in ALL the languages, but especially Italian. It's so beautiful to the ears, melodious even.
24. Do you spell the color as grey or gray?
GRAY
25. Is your father bald?
Yes, and he sports a pretty bad toupee if you ask me... but he refuses to stop wearing it, and that's his prerogative. Whatevs!
Fin.
