I stole this from Emily :)
1) What would you call yourself if you could choose your own name?
*** Hmmm Angelina Jolie? That might give me a few perks in the reservations department? hehe Seriously... maybe Melody.
2) What was your worst date (as in going out on a date, not an actual calendar date…unless you have a really bad one to share)?
*** I was about 17... went on a date with some guy to the drive-in movies.... His glasses looked fine from my vantage point of view.. but later when he turned his head towards me I saw it : One of his glasses temples was completely missing, and the middle part was held by scotchtape!! Seriously! His car was so old, he has to keep turning it on and annoying others around us, every few minutes, as to not drain the battery. And when he opened his mouth it all went even more downhill... Thankfully my friends Nadine & Jeanne were working in the cantine so I could pretend to go get fries and stay and talk with them for an hour! hehe.
3) If you had to teach one subject in high school or college, what would it be?
*** Photoshop. It's one of the greatest things sincd sliced bread!
4) When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried?
*** Last week in Cancun, when I forced Steph to join me in the cold hot tubs... Observing him get in the cold water like a moumoune and screaming bloody murder and his facial expressions.... I was laughing that hard hehe.
5) What is the kindest thing anyone has ever done for you?
*** Hmm. I can't remember a specific occasion... although the time Rebecca & Lori sent me flowers for my birthday is pretty high up there! But I'll say Steph cooking for us most of the time, even if I request something different than he's eating hehe.
6) If money or skill-set was no issue, what would you love to do for a living?
*** I would be some sort of travel writer.
7) What is one thing as an adult/parent/spouse you do that you swore you would never do?
*** Be impatient. Completely lose my shit, like my mother did all the time. In fact, when I was a kid, many would have described me as being patient. Now? Not so much. I go completely bat shit, bang stuff, and throw stuff, I'm that impatient. Betcha didn't know huh? (PS - I don't throw stuff AT people hehe.)
8) If you could go back to one particular time in your life (not to live, not to change anything, just to visit) when would it be?
*** The Summer that I graduated College and left for Africa. I'll always treasure that time as one of the happiest times of my life. I look at pictures of our Africa gang partying in the house we were renting, and it always makes me smile and get teary eyed.
9) If your walls could talk, what would they say about you (good & bad)?
*** That I'm a horn dog. That I pick my nose. That I sing constantly. That I watch too much TV. That I'm constantly affection and attention deprived - it feels like I can never be satisfied. That I'm a great dog mommy. That I spend too much time online. That I did a great job choosing their colours. That I almost always come out of the shower dancing naked to my bathroom radio. That I count when I brush my teeth. That I screen all my calls and let them all go to voicemail. That most of the time, I'm a pretty awesome person.
10) If you could fix or put an end to one problem in the world what would it be?
*** Obesity. Obviously it's not THE worst problem int he world, but since it affects me and nearly every single person in both of our families, I would like to fix it and make us all healthy and live longer. I know that I'm going to lose some weight again, but no matter how hard I try, I can't make others do it either. I definitely know that from the years of others trying to make me do it, and it backfiring miserably because it made me feel like even more of a worthless piece of shit. Like I didn't deserve the same space, air and happiness as everyone else, just because there's something fucked up in the part of my brain that makes it a Herculean effort, seemingly impossible, to stop eating when I'm full. Because I'm never full. Constantly hungry. Hungry for what?
