FUN GAME TIME

Fellow writers on this blog:
Here are your instructions:
Read my answers then answer them yourselves.


What is your current obsession?
A friend of mine lent me Seasons one and two of the show “Weeds.” It’s a good one and I really want to see Season three now. It’s becoming impossible to keep myself from looking up what happens next on the internet. Hurry up, friend of mine, and get Season three back from your grandma.

What is your weirdest obsession?
Oh geez. This is a tough one. Having always been known for my lack of obsessive/compulsive behaviour, you’d be hard pressed to find something weird that I’m obsessed with. Like the time I added a new picture frame to my mantle and had to get up no less than 30 times to move it a quarter of an inch so it would be in the exact right place. Or the fact that I have to eat two cheerios at a time—never a odd number; it’s not fair to the single cheerios to be eaten without the comfort of a friend. See, perfectly normal.

What are you wearing today?
Right now I’m wearing my running shorts and my new t-shirt from the Fallen Four Marathon relay.

What’s for dinner?
So far I’ve had a couple of pieces of garlic toast and a melted Crave cupcake. Later, after my meeting, I will have some sweet potato fries.

What would you eat for your last meal?
If it was my very last meal, then I’d just eat everything I could until I exploded. Seriously I’ve got nothing to lose by that point. There’s no reason to stick to any sort of diet. I would just eat and eat and eat. Probably I wouldn’t eat any tomatoes though.

What’s the last thing you bought?
Teacher gifts. I totally forgot about them until the day after school ended. Luckily, just because the students are done doesn’t mean that the teachers are done, so we were still able to get the presents to the teachers.

What are you listening to right now?
”Fairly Odd Parents” and the sound of someone eating with his mouth open which is driving me NUTS.

If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you like it to be?
I’m good right here. But if I had all that extra money from having my house fully paid for, I would probably travel a lot more.

If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?
Like if I could just magically be somewhere and not have to worry about packing or getting to the airport and stuff? Probably I would chose to spend that hour in Greece hanging out with my old boss that moved there. Or inspecting an old castle. Or…too many choices. I can’t decide.

Which language do you want to learn?
All of them. But I wouldn’t want to actually work at it. I’d just want to magically know them.

What is your favorite colour?
This has always hit me as a ridiculous question. How can you decide that? I always really liked sunshiny yellow, but I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing it. So when you ask “what is your favourite colour?” do you mean to look at? To wear? To paint your bathroom? Cause they’re all different answers.

What is your favorite piece of clothing in your own wardrobe?
I have a t-shirt I bought at Superstore that I just love. I wish I would’ve known I was going to love it so much; I would have bought more.

What is your dream job?
Society wife. I would do well sleeping in every morning, getting up and going to luncheons, being on committees, going to fancy balls…

What’s your favourite magazine?
Tough decision…Alberta Construction Magazine, Oilweek, Oil & Gas Inquirer, Oilsands Review.

If you had £100 now, what would you spend it on?
That’s C$190.98. That just about pays my football team fees.

Describe your personal style.
I’m not sure I really have one. I wear whatever looks half decent.

What are you going to do after this?
Design a brochure for football. It’s going to be lame though, because the volunteer PR girl had a little bit of a tantrum when my brochure was better than her’s so she made us change it. Who knew that football was such a dramatic sport?

What are your favourite films?
White Christmas, Heart and Souls, Imitation of Life, RENT, and Singing in the Rain

What’s your favourite fruit?
Nectarine

What inspires you?
Mostly other moms. Ones that “have it all together.” The kind that have nice kids, volunteer, work full time, have time for their friends, and are still nice people. That’s who I strive to be.

Do you collect anything?
Not on purpose. I seem to have a collection of journals (very few of which I write in for fear of wrecking them), and note cards. Oh, and books.

Your favourite animal?
I don’t think it’s a secret that I’m not an animal lover. If I had to choose, I’d say the giraffe. Cause it looks cool.

What are you currently reading?
The Scarlet Letter

Go to your book shelf, take down the first book with a red spine you see, turn to page 26 and type out the first full sentence:
We are very grateful indeed to Mr. Grundy, Mr. Attery Squash, the Blue Baboon, Mr. Pobble, Lola Vavoom and of course the Dong, who so generously agreed to entertain us with his luminous nose.
The Big Over Easy – Jasper Fforde

By what criteria do you judge a person?
Mostly personality…

What skill would you like to acquire immediately?
You know those people who only get, like, four hours of sleep a night and they are always perfectly rested and always get so much done. I’d like to develop that skill.
