questions to answer, from a friend's blog

Original questions for you.

1: When you have a container of Neapolitan ice cream, what flavor do you leave for last? \
Always strawberry. I don't deliberately by Neapolitan for that reason.
 
2: Would you rather be caught in a thunderstorm without an umbrella or a snowstorm without boots?
Thunderstorm without umbrella - umbrella screams lightening, here I am!

3: Let's say you have access to a time machine, but it can only go either backward or forward. One or the other. Which do you choose and where do you go?
I honestly don't know because the idea of having a time machine freaks me out.

4: If you could choose to have any superpower ever, what would you pick?
The ability to make others realize their self-worth.
 
5: Tomorrow morning, you wake up in the body of a celebrity, like in a '90s body-swap movie. Who is it? How do they react to your life? What do you do when you're "them"? Would you choose to switch back?
No.
 
6: Any allergies?
sometimes springtime. And large concentrations of preservatives.
 
7: What would you be more embarrassed to buy: sex toys or adult diapers?
Neither. Sex toys are fun and adult diapers may one day be a necessity, not something to be embarrrased about.
 
8: Did you get enough sleep last night?
Probably.

9: You're the sole witness to a Mafia murder. Witness protection has to set you up with a whole new life in a totally new country. You have to leave everything behind, but you can pick where you move to. Where do you go?
I don't want to go anywhere. I really like Saskatoon.
 
10: If you could star in a biopic about any famous person ever, who would it be?
Nobody, I really like my life and I'm not a great actor.
 
11: What's the biggest animal you've ever killed? Bugs count.
I may have hit a bird or small rodent with my car.
 
12: Would you rather have millions of dollars but always feel nauseous when you go outside, or be dirt poor forever but never get sick again in your life?
Dirt poor and healthy. I can't handle nausea.
 
13: A wizard offers you immortality in exchange for your two front teeth. Do you take it?
No. These teeth are mine bitch!
 
14: Could you win the Hunger Games?
I wouldn't play.
 
15: What was your favorite Halloween costume as a kid? How about as a teen/adult?
I don't know. The easiest was the zombie belly dancer... but Queen of the Autumn Faeries was also pretty awesome.
 
16: Do you bite your nails?
Sometimes.
 
17: What was the first movie you remember seeing in the theater?
I don't remember the first one.
 
18: Do you prefer music with male or female vocalists?
It doesn't matter as long as they can sing well.
 
19: You and the love of your life are having a baby, and you get to choose the name! There's only one catch: your partner INSISTS that it be the name of a place, real or fictional. What do you name your baby?
So not happening.
 
20: If you could reboot or remake any movie, what would it be and who would you cast?
No.
 
21: If you could automatically know how to speak any language or play any instrument, which would you choose?
Playing instruments.
 
 
22: For you, would getting amnesia be a good thing?
No.
 
23: If you curse loudly and then realize that there are children nearby, what is your reaction?
I'd rather they hear it from me than learn it at school. I can teach kids how to curse properly if they really want to learn, whereas out in the world they mostly just learn to be crass and inappropriate with it.
 
24: Of what animal are you most afraid?
Tasmanian devil.
 
25: Pizza or oral sex?
Depends on the quality of the pizza.
 
26: Without looking them up, can you explain the rules of football? How about Quidditch? What do you think that says about you?
Probably not. Without looking them up I don't think I could even tell you what they are.
 
27: You're in the car, switching channels on the radio when you hear a song that makes you go "OH SHIT, THAT'S MY JAM!" What song is it?
If I ever said that out loud while driving I'd start to laugh so hard I'd get snot everywhere and probably get in an accident.
 
28: Have you ever paid to see a Step Up movie? If not, how much would someone have to pay YOU to see a Step Up movie?
Never heard of it.
 
29: If you were being executed tonight, what would you choose for your last meal?
Something involving mashed potatoes with skins and butter and salt and pepper and gravy. Probably blue-rare prime rib.
 
30: Have you ever bought an item of clothing because it reminded you of something a fictional character would wear?
I don't think so? Unless we're talking the fictional me in my head who is so much more awesome and brave and smart and pretty - she's someone I try to be more of and in that case, probably.
 
31: If you were invisible for a day, what would you do?
My husband. 
 
32: Have you ever been punched in the face?
Sort of. Broke my glasses, mostly missed my face.
 
33: How do you take your ramen noodles?
Either Vietnamese style with green onion and soup liquid and other veggies or drained with just the soup powder. Chicken flavour only.
 
34: Do you ever rehearse or plan conversations before you actually have them?
Sometimes, but they never go as they do in my head. Usually, being an introvert, I debrief them after and think up all the witty things I wish I'd said or done. I'm not sure if it's a useful exercise or not.
 
35: How much black do you wear on a regular basis (not counting funerals)?
Usually not much, it depends.
 
36: Do you have any tattoos? Do you want any?
One. And I'm rather on the fence about getting any more. I don't think I will.
 
37: If someone offered you a free pet snake, would you take it? It's not dangerous or really big or anything. They're just moving to a place that doesn't allow pets.
Probably. Especially if it came with a free terrarium and accessories.
 
38: Do you know how to pronounce the word "pinochle"?
Pinacle? 
 
39: Can you think of anything more boring than birdwatching?
Being injured and not being able to be on my feet for a week. Sucks.
 
40: Are you better with numbers or words?
Words, but lately this whole pregnant thing is making me borderline dyslexic with words and numbers.
 
41: At the movies, do you stay for the credits?
Sometimes. I like to know where things were filmed if the scenery is either stunning or if I think I've been there (and if it's the latter, usually I'm right).
 
42: Is morality universal or relative?
Seriously? 
 
43: Let's say you're getting married to someone you absolutely adore. The only catch is that you met them through a Craigslist hookup ad that was supposed to be just for one night of casual sex. Would you tell your friends how you and your fiance met?
Of course! That's hilarious! I might alter the details a bit for my Dad though...
 
44: What's the worst name you've ever been called? 
I'm generally not called names. 
 
45: Would you eat human flesh if it had been harvested and prepared humanely? (Say, from someone brain-dead who had marked him or herself down as an organ donor - same difference, right?)
My husband said I could eat him if he died. I probably wouldn't unless the world were also ending and protein was in short supply though. It's kind of creepy.
 
46: At what age did you stop believing in Santa? Alternately, if you never believed in Santa, did you ever ruin Santa for anyone else?
I can't remember. 
 
47: Do you get along better with old people or little kids?
Old people. Having a baby is sure going to be interesting!
 
48: If you had to choose, would you rather become a nun/monk or a drug dealer?
Nun.
 
49: What's your best bodily feature, objectively speaking?
I'm not objective about my body so ask someone else.
 
50: Who is your favorite late night talk show host? 
David Attenborough! 
(Wait, you mean you don't watch his nature shows alone in bed in the dark on your iPod?)
