If you don't do Sunday Stealing, you should ... it's fun :-)
121. Have you gone rock climbing? If not, would you?
On man-made
rock walls, yes. Lots of fun, actually. On real rocks? No way … I am the world’s biggest klutz, and …
well, it just wouldn’t end well.
122. Do you believe in forever love in a romantic
relationship?
I really and
truly hope so J
123. As a kid did you ever sneak anyone into your
house?
You know, I
honestly don’t think I did. Whether or
not I ever snuck out of my house is a completely different question …
124. Do you personally know anyone homeless?
I do,
unfortunately.
125. Do you believe in aliens?
I think it
would be presumptuous of humankind to assume that we are the only living things
in existence when you consider how truly, immeasurably huge the solar system
(which is only one of many) is … it’s mind-boggling, if you think about it.
126. Have you ever killed someone?
What kind of
a sick and twisted meme is this?
127. What would it take for you to sell your soul to a
devil?
It’s hard to
predict how you’d act in a given scenario until it comes up. Not that I’d ever want this one to …
128. Top or bottom?
Oh, I always
preferred the top bunk when I was a kid because my sister had a little
bedwetting problem, as I found out when she got the top bunk on a vacation to
Florida and I woke up to … well, raindrops falling on my head.
129. Are you happy with your career?
I adore every
aspect of the teaching part of my career.
Unfortunately, teaching becomes less and less a part of being a teacher
every year. Does that make any sense?
130. What's your favorite store to buy clothes? Why?
I have two
children … I haven’t bought clothes for myself since 2004 or so.
131. What is your eye color?
Blue.
132. Watching or playing sports?
Depends on
the sport.
133. Would you have plastic surgery?
I doubt it,
if only because I have a tendency to be very unlucky when it comes to medical
stuff. “There is a one in 500 chance you’ll
have this side effect” … “Nobody ever gets this side effect, but we have to
mention it” … um, yeah, guess who always seems to get that side effect? Me getting elective surgery would just be
asking for trouble.
134. Name one website that you visit daily. Why do you
read it?
This is
really lame, but I stalk The Weather Channel, particularly in the summer. I am scared to death of thunderstorms (my
golden retriever and I fight over the bathtub), so I am always on the lookout
for them. I am like the amateur
meteorologist from hell … “We have a severe thunderstorm warning, but according
to the Doppler, I think we’re only going to get a piece of it.”
I’m a dork
;-)
135. Are you going on vacation this year? If so,
where?
Nope. Too poor.
Also, not enough time (summer school starts in a week, and then there
are conferences and trainings and such, plus I am trying really hard to finish
writing my new novel this summer).
136. How do you align yourself politically?
I try not to
pigeonhole myself that way, because it is dangerous and honestly kind of
ignorant. I try to keep an open mind (if
only so my children don’t feel pressured to have my opinions instead of their
own), but I tend to find myself on the left side of things (except for welfarereform … I am further right than Rush Limbaugh on welfare reform).
137. Do you have any pets?
I have two
dogs, a black lab named Sonja (she was a rescue dog and is the coolest animal
ever … ) and a golden retriever named Mollie (she is a neurotic, spoiled
princess … but for some reason, I love her very much in spite of this).
138. Do you believe in soul mates?
“Friends for
a reason, friends for a season, and friends for life.”
139. What’s one trait that you hate about yourself?
My ADHD
(which encompasses the bad things about me, such as procrastination,
impulsivity, disorganization, and so on)
140. How long have you played Sunday Stealing?
Good question
… quite awhile, I’m pretty sure J I was off
the grid for a bit, though.
