Sunday Stealing: Questions a la Randomness, A Meme

Cheers to all of us thieves!

What was the last thing you put in your mouth?
Coffee.

Can you play Guitar Hero?
Haha, I have, but I wouldn't say I did it well!

How late did you stay up last night and why?
11:30. I was tired before that, but was fighting sleep to watch the end of When in Rome. Such a cute movie.

If you could move somewhere else, would you?
Yes!! I would move closer to work! Not very exciting, but it's such a fun town, and close to NYC, not to mention saving myself massive amounts of money and stress with no commuting!

Have you ever been kissed under fireworks?
Yes! But not in recent years because at the usual Fourth of July Jimmy-Jam, C is one of the one's setting off the fireworks. Men!

Do you believe ex’s can be friends?
Not if they were in love. Or maybe so, but not for a really long time. Still testing that one out.

When was the last time you cried really hard?
Errrmmm... I really can't remember, which I would say is a good thing!

What items could you not go without during the day?
Coffee, my cell phone, my ipod, money or my ATM card, my driver's license (form of ID is always important, never know what's gonna happen!),... I think that's it.

Who was the last person you visited in the hospital?
I think my grandpa.

How do you feel about your life right now?
It's ok. I really need to start moving forward though. I've been a bit stagnant lately, and I need to begin re-focusing my goals and setting up a plan to reach them. But in general I'm happy.

If we were to look in your facebook inbox, what would we find?
Lots of unread messages and approx. 3 pokes. I've had a poke-war with these people for years-  I'm not gonna give in first!

Say you were given a drug test right now, would you pass?
For sure. I don't do drugs...unless you count alcohol.

Has anyone ever called you perfect before?
Yes, but I was able to prove them wrong.

What song is stuck in your head?
"If It's Love" by Train. I love it- it's been on replay on my ipod a lot lately, even though it's not very new anymore.

Someone knocks on your window at 2:00 a.m.: who do you want it to be?
"Ed McMahon"- good answer! I can't think of anyone else I'd want knocking at my window at 2 AM unless C isn't with me.

Do you think too much or too little?
I think too much about things of too little importance.

Where are your feet right now?
In crew socks, in fuzzy slippers, tucked under my chair.

Do you believe in fairy tales?
No, but I like them. I'm a huge fan of happy endings.

Have you ever licked the back of a CD to try to get it to work?
Yes. I've also tried blowing on it Nintendo-style!

Do you like pickles?
Not in the least.

What’s the largest age difference between yourself and someone you’ve dated?
6 or 7 years. My mom was not too pleased with that one.

Have you ever been on a blind date?
Nope.

Do you have any friends that you’ve known for 10 years or more?
Yes, but just a few.

Are you a good tipper?
I give the standard if they do a good job. If not, than they definitely see it in the tip (or lack thereof!).

What’s the most you have spent for a haircut?
Somewhere around $150. I have to say it was well worth it though, and if I had that much I would surely do it again, or at least at the same place.

Have you ever had a crush on a teacher?
I have a crush on a teacher now (Hi, C!) ! Other than him, no.

What song do you want played at your funeral?
"I'm Like A Bird" by Nelly Furtado and "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston. I actually have a list. A bit morbid, perhaps. But whatevs, it's my funeral, I want it done right!

Would you tell your parents if you were gay?
Yes. I had a friend who didn't for years, and though it almost killed his dad, they were able to work it out. I can't imagine not loving your child just because of his/her sexual orientation. Plus, I wouldn't want to live a lie. We should be free to love whoever we want.

What would your last meal be before getting executed?
Thanksgiving. I want turkey, mashed potatoes (sweet or regular), gravy, cranberry sauce, mac and cheese, stuffing, green beans, (to name some parts) and finishing off with pumpkin pie. It is my fave meal, but just slightly above chicken parm. If they're gonna give my some dry-ass turkey, then just give me the chicken parm.

Do you walk around the house naked?
I have, but not all the time.

What do you do as soon as you walk in the house?
Put down whatever I'm carry.

Who is the person you can count on the most?
C. Without question. My mom is good, but she's not very dependable.

What did you dream last night?
I don’t remember.

Have you ever been in love?
Yup, I'm in love now!

Do you sing in the shower?
Occasionally. I used to sing a lot more when I was younger. But then came college- you can't sing in the shower in the dorms without everyone thinking you're a freak. Now I occasionally do it if C isn't home!

What is your favorite Holiday?
My birthday. It should be a national holiday. Other than that one,  I think New Year's Eve/Day. A time f new beginnings.

Would you ever get plastic surgery?
I don't think so. I would love some new boobs, but I can't handle pain.

Have you ever caught a fish?
I have!! Nothing big, but definitely have gone fishing and caught several fish!

What is your favorite lunch meat?
Turkey.

Do you still have your tonsils?
Yes

What is your favorite cereal?
Coco Krispies

What is the first thing you notice about people?
Height? If they are closer, then eyes and/or smile.

What is the farthest you’ve been from home?

------------------------------------------------

I am obsessed with all things Jersey Shore related, especially if Snooki or DJ Pauly D are involved. So, I apologize in advance, but it's only 18 seconds long. :)

--------------------------------------------------------

One of the things I don't understand is how my body processes alcohol. Like, it doesn't make sense. Also, how some things don't occur to guys as they would do girls.

So Friday night, I get off the train and C picks me up,...and tells me that his friend J is in our apartment. I don't care- J's a cool guy- until I walk into my apartment. It is a wreck. And C had off all day. Actually, C had off for 2 days, and the first day he spent doing nothing (which is fine- I would've done the same) and day 2 he did a couple errands and nice stuff like dishes. But...if you know your friend is coming over...wouldn't you straighten up at least a little?? I mean, it was like he didn't even seee the mess! And of course, I'm all embarrassed, but it was too late. *Sigh.*

So I chilled for a little, then we went out for C's bday at a nearby bar. C doesn't like to make a big deal out of his bday. In fact, his bday was last week and he didn't even send an email to his friends about going out for a few drinks until this week. And, our friends live all over the place. So we get there, and eventually 2 other people come, but that was it.

And I was upset/mad.

I mean, he sent the email to more than a few people. He sent it with a week's notice. And, we make a point to attend everyone else's everything- bdays, engagement parties, weddings, child's bday parties, no reason parties- everything, so it's pretty shitty that they didn't make the same effort. Of course I didn't mention it to C, because I didn't want him to feel the same way I was especially since he really didn't seem to mind at all. But I was pretty pissed. Especially at the girl who said she wasn't feeling well. Because not only did we got to her reception here for her destination wedding barely 2 months ago, we also went to Mexico for her wedding. Her bday was about a month later, and C was dealing with his toe (story coming soon) and he had a cold. So I really feel like she was bs'ing and didn't want to come because C was sick for her bday party. And yes, I do think she's that petty. Especially since we found out that Sunday-Tuesday she was partying it up in Atlantic City with her girlfriend....and then she's suddenly too sick to come out for a few drinks by Friday? I'm not buying it. But whatever, that's just me.

It was fun nonethless. We were with good people, no drama or bs, and drinks. But then the next morning, I wake up with a hangover. I couldn't have had more than 5 beers. I know I'm little, but usually I can handle 5 Jack and Cokes,...and then  have a hangover. But only a few beers? Crazy!

So I nurse my hangover all day, because by nighttime we're heading to a friend's wine and cheese party. That was lots of fun. Well, until the end when I made a minor social faux pas which I will blame on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol! I even got hit on by one of the guests...yeahhhh I still got it!

I woke up today- after having more than a few glasses of wine- and no hangover! Sweet. I still barely did anything all day- watched a bunch of movies, went grocery shopping, and did some laundry- and it was wonderful.

Hope everyone else had a great weekend!

Sunday Stealing: The Majorly Personal Meme, Part The Last

Cheers to all of us thieves!

41. What are your plans for this weekend?
I don't have any. And I didn't think that would be a problem until I came home from work on Friday and realized I was bored! Today we were supposed to go down the shore, but it's a little chilly. Hmph.

42. Do you think someone might be thinking poorly about you? Why might that be?
I can think of a few people. And 2 of them have told me because they're jealous. Because I don't work 14+ hour days and don't have a child, so more free time.

42. What features don't you have that you would like on your cell?
I want an Android phone. I want to be able to have apps. I like my touchscreen, and the qwerty keyboard, but I like all the apps the IPhone has. Oh, and my phone would be better if I got headphones so I could listen to music and watch tv, because for some reason my phone needs special headphones for those features, which did not come with the phone. Ugh.

43. How many people can comfortably sleep in your bed?
2

44. What are you hoping happens by the end of 2010?
Hmm...I can't think of anything I hope to happen by then! We can't move til next year, we can't get a puppy until we move, and my financial situation will be SO much better by February, I can't start planning to go back to school until the finances are more in order...so I guess I hope things just stay the same!

45. What was the last video you watched on YouTube?
"F*** You" by Cee-lo. Great song!

46. Would you ever agree to an open relationship with someone?
Nope. I'm not a fan of sharing.

47. Is there something that you could never give up?
Yes, coffee. And my laptop/internet access.

48. Would you, (or did you) prefer a small, intimate wedding reception, or a big-scale, over-the-top reception?
I would prefer big, over the top reception....which is good because at least with the person I hope to marry, his family is really big!

49. What’s bothering you right now?
Nothing really. I'm comfortably sitting on my couch, happily fed with pancakes, watching Bridezillas (guilty pleasure!), with C on the couch next to me :) And no work tomorrow!

50. Do you hate anyone?
Yes I can think of 2 people.

51. What were you doing at 12 am last night?
Watching X-Men Origins- Wolverine with C

52. Was this summer a good one? How warm was it where you live?
Yeah it was pretty good. It got up to the 90's where I am.

52. Is the last person you kissed before your current situation mad at you?
My current situation? Umm I guess you mean the person I'm with now, and yes I would assume the ex is mad at me because I kind of didn't exactly end it with him before moving on... I did feel bad about that actually.

53. Can a man and woman be friends without having feelings for each other?
A man and a woman can be friends, but at least on one side I think someone has to have feelings for the other, but not both sides.

54. Do you think long distance relationships work? If you’ve had one, tell us about it.
No I don't think they work. I've been in 2- the first one ended because I went off to college and the guy couldn't deal- honestly, I wouldn't have broken up with him anyway because I wanted to be single going into college. The 2nd one worked because it was only about 5 months before I graduated college and moved back home- which was closer to where he lived. He also came and visited me at college (3 hours away) nearly every weekend. But if it had been much longer, I don't think it would have worked. Long distance relationships take a LOT of trust, and honesty.

55. Do you know why it’s called “Random Boredom“?
I have no idea what that is.

56. Do you think that it’s always the man’s responsibility to initiate sex?
No. I think that's rather boring. And I wouldn't get laid nearly as much if that were the case- Sometimes you have to go get what you want!

57. Have you ever made love while you were in the same room with another couple?
Yes. It's awkward. I only did it once, but I know my ex's roommate did it more often while we were in the room...college dorms suck!

58. Tell us the best thing about your current or most recent S/O.
He takes good care of me all the time, even regardless of whether we're mad at each other or not :)

59. Tell us the worst thing about your current or most recent S/O.
Sometimes he's a bit of a homebody and doesn't want to go out,...or he doesn't want to travel to go out, because most of my friends live in/around NYC, which is almost 2 hours away.

60. Would you write one question in today’s comments so that we could have our followers allow us to steal their questions? We’ll need at least 15.
Sure.

Meme-y Sunday

The Q's.

1. If you accidently knick a car in a parking lot..Do you leave a note or do you get the heck out of there?
Hmm...sorry, but I'm leaving.


2. Love your body or plastic surgery?
Love my body just enough to not go through that kind of pain!


3. What about your favorite blog(s) continues to drive you back?
funny, relatable, short-ish (I'm not a fan of long blocks of text), sometimes with quotes/song lyrics/ music I haven't heard

4. What percent of your blog is BS just to make your life seem more interesting than it really is?
0%. Not artificial flavoring here!

5. If you had to give up one type of meat for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Veal. I don't remember the last time I had it, so I would have no problem giving it up. Does that not count? Hmm...then beef. I could do without it. Could never ever  part with chicken.

6. How often to you eat out?
This summer, pretty often. But hopefully that will change once C starts working (and eating normally) again.

7. Skinny jeans or boot cut jeans?
I don't do skinny jeans. In fact, I was just thinking this morning how you have to have a very particular figure to pull them off well....like not a big booty! I'm boot cut all the way.

8. If you caught your spouse cheating would you forgive, divorce, or plan your kill?
I can't answer this honestly because it hasn't happened (thank goodness!) and I've never been married. However, I would like to believe that I wouldn't automatically divorce.

Sunday Stealing: The Majorly Personal Meme, Part Two

Cheers to all of us thieves!

21. If you were to live your life without your best friend, what would change?
Everything. Where I live, for one. How I eat (because he cooks, though I do "plan" on learning, as I've been "planning" for years now). Who I hang out with. How I spend my money (because I would be saving a lot of commuting costs, which I would put towards paying off my debt). So ya know, just about everything!


22. Tell us about a era of your life that you really miss.
College! You don't have to get up for work, you get to see your friends all the time, and hang out and party all the time (without being judged). You didn't have to worry about bills the same way, except maybe rent if you didn't live on campus, and you could just work part time, with your excuse being school, and the biggest decisions were where you were gonna live after school, and what kind of career did you want- but it's ok you can have more time to figure that out if you study abroad or go to grad school...life just seemed so much easier back then!

23. Have you ever been betrayed by someone that came as a complete surprise? Without revealing the person, if yes, tell us about it.
Yup. She was a friend. Who then decided to hook up with and date my now ex-boyfriend. So I guess that counts as 2 betrayals.

24. Do you ever think that is a good idea to hide your feelings?
Yes. Sometimes it is completely necessary. For example, if you are really upset at work- it makes everyone uncomfortable and makes you look/seem weak. Or in certain other public situations- for instance, you are at a party and your ex shows up- you don't want him/her to know that you're upset just because of them. You just look weak and vulnerable, and they don't derserve that kind of satisfaction...or (in rare cases) guilt.


25. Tell us about your favorite year when you were a student.
Graduating high school. I found out I got into my dream college by December, right around my bday, so I really didn't have to worry about the rest of the school year. And I had a nice bf, which meant no worries for prom. That was also the year I came out of my shell and performed one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite singers on stage in front of the whole school at the Talent Show. Good set of friends, a car, minimal drama...good times.


25. When was the last time you were in a very good mood? What caused it?
Saturday. Good friends, great, warm weather, beer, pool, music, and bonfire with s'mores! Couldn't be more perfect.

26. Have you ever had a romantic relationship with a sibling of a good friend?
Nope.


27. Tell us about the last thing that you did that you truly regret.
That would be not takeing care of my student loans right when I graduated. Or at least in the first 180 days after graduating. That was MAJOR. I just didn't realize it then and let soemone lead me to believe very very bad financial advice.


28. When did you laughed today?
The first time was on my way to work, at a funny text C sent. Second time was at lunch with my girlfriends

29. Do you trust easily?
I used to, but no, not anymore.


30. What do you care about that you wish more people would?

Hmmm... nothing I can think of right now.

31. Is it easier for you to go without food or go without sleep?
Food. I love sleep waaaay too much.


32. What non-alcohol beverage do you enjoy drinking the most?
Iced tea.


33. When you walk into a room full of strangers, generally how is your confidence?
Between 1-10, and presuming I like what I'm wearing and it's consistent with others, probably about a 7.


34. Does talking about sex with anyone but your lover make you uncomfortable?
Not at all. I talk about sex with lots of people. Not necessarily my sex life, but sex in general is fine.


35. Do you tend to believe members of the opposite sex mostly behave the same way?
Mostly, yes.


36. Did you drink any alcohol this week? If yes, what?
Coronas. Lots of them! Oh and one Red Stripe.


37. Would you ever consider being a vegetarian?
No. I love chicken way too much. And I don't care what anyone says, tofurkey and all that have nothing on real meat.


38. Do you believe that there’s always room in your heart for someone?
Yes. But I'm a hopeless romantic :)


39. Do you believe in the concept of soul mates?
Not really. I think that you can find compatibility with more than one person.


40. Last week, we had a few players criticize our victim’s questions. Which is fine to do and we value your opinion. Would you ever consider writing questions for Bud and me to post on a Sunday Stealing?
Sure!

-----------------------------------------------------

Today I'm happy that I have a wonderful BF who will take care of my drunken self, espeically when I fall asleep on the train, and he has to come and pick me up at the next train stop :S THANK YOU!

I loved Taco Bell when they had the spicy chicken burrito, but they got rid of it. I sent in a written complaint, and signed a petition to get it back, but to no avail. Usually when I eat fast food now, it's Burger King. (Even though the king from those commercials is super creepy!)

6. What do you think is the sexiest profession for a guy?
Just one that I understand. I had an ex who had a job- it was some kind of consulting I think- even he wasn't sure of it though, and I feel like I wasn't able to connect with him on some level. I think teaching is a great job though :)

29. How far away do you live from your parents?
About 2 hours.

30. Are you happy with your job?

I don't think any.

46. Do you think 50 questions is enough?
Yes, but I'll continue if there are more.

[Island Beach State Park, NJ]

Today I went to the Jersey Shore with C. We went to Seaside Heights (where the show Jersey Shore is being filmed) and we actually almost literally ran into one of the cast members, JWoww, as we were walking out of a store! We had a great time playing video games, going on rides, eating some great food. And C got me a perfect, very cute bathing suit for our Mexico trip! Then  we went to Island Beach State Park where we took a long walk along the water picking seashells :)

All of that made me very, very happy!

2. It’s Wednesday at noon, where are you usually?
Lunch with my coworkers

3. What kind of laundry detergent do you use?
Whatever is on sale when I need to buy it

4. What brand of shampoo is in your shower right now?
Pantene Pro-V Classic Clean

5. Did you ever get into a bar and drink before you were 21?
Yup. I borrowed my friend's sister's expired drivers license when I was either 19 or 20. It said that I was 26, but it worked! I think bouncers are easier on girls.


6. What countries have you been to?
Canada, England, France, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Germany, Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, St. Thomas, Bonaire, Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, Belize, the Bahamas, Trinidad


7. Do you watch MTV anymore?
Yes, for Jersey Shore.


8. What do you think about Oprah?
I think she shouldn't have quit her talk show. I think she's had a lot of struggles and overcame a lot when she was younger, and those experiences helped her be empathetic to others, which was a big part of why she was/is successful. I think she has a lot of money. That's about it.

9. What color are your bed sheets?
White

10. You need a new pair of jeans: what store do you go to first?
Express.


11. Did you ever watch The O.C.?
Nope.


12. What kind of car do you drive?
Don't currently have a car.


13. Honestly, is that car insured?
Yes.

14. Do you like sushi?

18. What magazine(s) do you buy regularly or subscribe to?
Time Out New York, Woman's Day, and Glamour.

19. Do you remember the old WB show “Popular”?
Vaguely. I remember the blonde. I never watched it though.

20. When you go out do you prefer to go to a dance club or to a bar?
Bar. I feel like I have to be really dressed up to go to the club, and I'm too old to care about that anymore. I also don't like random guys coming up and started to grind on me anymore. It kinda skeeves me out now. Bars are much more low-maintenance.

21. What do you think about gay marriage?
I'm all for gay marriage. I don't think sex preferences should determine if someone can get married or not- it makes it seem like gay people are inferior to straights, and that's just unconstitutional- I mean, whatever happened to "All men are created equal" and deserve "the pursuit of happiness"?

22. Who do you think will be the next president?
No idea. I don't think Obama will stay in office though.

23. Are you registered to vote?
Yup.

Fireplace. The apartment I have now is the first one I've ever had, and in the winter, it is wonderful! And an outdoor hot tub. With a patio os at least some kind of covering over it.

Sunday Stealing

Head on over to Sunday Stealing to play! The Questions...

01) Are you currently in a serious relationship?
Yup!

02) What was your dream growing up?
First it was to be an architect. Then I realized how much math was involved (I really don't like math).

When I was younger I didn't want to have kids either.

03) What talent do you wish you had?
Singing and cooking.

04) If I bought you a drink what would it be?
I hope it would be a rose martini! But since those are apparently nearly impossible to find, I'd take a Jack n Coke or Corona.

05) Favorite vegetable?
Potato. I love potato salad, potato chips, French fries, baked potatoes...yummm!

06) What was the last book you read?
"Hoe the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents" by Julia Alvarez. I don't recommend it.

10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?
Well being that I don't have a car, no! If I did, then it would depend on the situation. If it's really cold, you are holding lots of bags/packages, or on a long lonely road, and you look safe, then most likely yes.

11) What is your favorite sport?
To play- soccer. To watch (live)- baseball. To watch at home- football (I don't like being cold).

12) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude?
I would say mostly optimistic, though a lil bit more jaded and pessimistic lately.

13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
Try to get out? Nothing personal, I just wouldn't want to be stuck in an elevator regardless of who I was with....unless it's a really hot guy, and I was single, and he had a condom...haha jk!

14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?
Hmm...I'm in a pretty good mood right now, so I'm not sure. Ask again on a bad day.

15) Tell me one weird fact about you.
I hate marchmallows, but I loooove s'mores.

16) Do you have any pets?
Not currently. Had a dog once, when I was younger. He lived to be 15! He was a good dog.

17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?
If I'm home, I would open the door?

18) What was your first impression of me?
I don't know you, but your questions are interesting enough.

19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
Scary. Ever since I saw Steven King's "It."

20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
I wish I was a little bit taller,...but I would probably pick boobs if it didn't involve surgery. Oh, and my terrible eye sight, but I plan on getting Lasik eventually.

21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
Most likely crime partner, depending on the crime.

22) What color eyes do you have?
Brown.

23) Ever been arrested?
No, thank goodness. *knock on wood*

24) Bottle or can soda?
I like the glass bottles, otherwise can.

Pay off debts. And probably buy myself an outfit.

26) What's your favorite place to hang out at?
Home when I'm tired or had a bad day. But really just about anywhere with friends.

27) Do you believe in ghosts?
Yes.

28) Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
What is spare time??! I like going to events...sporting, concerts, etc. Read books/mags, cuddle, watch TV/movies, scrapbook, and shop.

29) Do you swear a lot?
Like a sailor, but I'm trying to cut the fuck back...oops...

Slow walkers, slow drivers, slow talkers, people who repeat themselves or are just generally dumb...those are just a few...

Quirky.

I believe in it and greatly appreciate it.
