Because I Want To

1. Initials:

JRI

2. Name someone with the same birthday as you:

Noah Wyle…no wait, JOHN CARTER.  His character on ER had the same birthday as I do – June 3.  And apparently Tony Curtis has the same birthday.

3. Favorite fruit:

I have to pick just one?

4. For or against same sex marriage?

I am against it.  I am for Civil Unions and legal rights.  I am against marriage in a church of a homosexual couple.  To me, it is like slapping God in the face.  Of course, there are many things that "Christians" do that I would consider slapping God in the face, too…so don’t go thinking I’m a hypocrite.

5. Are you allergic to anything?

Death.

6. Are you bisexual?

Not much.  I really like boys.  And I have a friend-friend relationship with girls.  I find that this works best for me.

15. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Either Japan or Europe.  Immediately?  California.

16. Are you bipolar?

I certainly hope not.

17. What dream car do you want your husband/wife to drive?

As long as it isn’t crappy and it’s reliable, I don’t care.  I have an affinity for GM cars, though because my daddy slaved there for 30 years…and I get a monster discount because of that.

18. Where would you want to go on a first date with your new date?

Dinner, movie, talking..walk on the beach.  WALK ON THE BEACH!!!

20. Has anyone ever sang or played for you personally?

Aww..yeah.  Twice.  And I loved it both times.

21. Ever been kissed under fireworks?

No, but I wouldn’t protest if someone did.

22. Do you like President Bush?

I do.  He makes mistakes, he’s human, he has the crappiest advisors ever, but as a man, I do admire him.

23. Have you ever bungee jumped?

No.  And do not plan on it.

24. Have you ever white water rafted?

No and again, do not plan on it.

25. Has anyone ten years older than you ever hit on you?

Only online.  In person, I look too young for older guys to hit on me…IDEA!  I could totally help the FBI catch pedophiles…I’ll bet anything that’s why they hit on me online.

26. Are you racist?

No.  I do think there are some prejudices that I hold, but everyone does.  I try to overcome them, but I know I’m not racist.

27. What song are you listening to right now?

I’m watching Father of the Bride.

28. What’s your favourite song at the moment?

Don’t Cry for Me, by Matt Riley.

29. What was the last movie you watched?

Right now, it’s Father of the Bride.  Before this, it was Spider-Man.

30. Where was the last place you went besides your house?

I actually just left my house to come over to stay with the girls for the weekend.

31. Have you ever vandalized someone else’s property?

Yeah.  I once carved religious messages into the paint on the stall doors in the women’s bathroom at my church in Michigan.

32. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?

I slapped a boy across the face when he smacked my butt.  I was in middle school and I don’t play that.

33. What’s the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?

Eyes and hands.

34. What’s your favourite body part on the opposite sex?

Eyes and hands.

35. What do you usually order from Starbucks?

I mix it up on a regular basis.

36. Say something totally random about yourself.

I like to wear velvet pants, but would kill my boyfriend (if I had one) if he ever wore them.

37. Do you have an iPod?

No, I do not.  It’s painful.  I don’t want to talk about it.

43. Do you speak any other language other than English?

A wee bit of Pig Latin.  But I do know enough of French and Spanish to pick up stuff here and there when I hear it.

44. Have you ever ridden in a limo?

Yeah.  My sister got married and I rode in her limo for awhile.

45. Has anyone you were really close to passed away?

My aunt just died a few months ago.

46. Do you watch MTV?

On my own, as rarely as possible.  When I stay with the girls…as much as possible because that’s all one of them watches.  This was partly the reason I chose the topic I did for my thesis.

48. What’s something that really annoys you?

Unuse of turning signals.  Not driving the speed limit.  Most of my annoyances are with drivers.

50. Do you like Michael Jackson?

As a musician, heck yes.  As a man, I pity him.

51. Have you ever surfed?

Not yet, but I’m seriously considering it when I move to California.

52. Do you know how to pump gas?

No.  That’s why I let the gas pump do it for me.

53. Do you drive?

I not only drive, but I like to do it.

54. What’s the latest you have ever stayed up?

I don’t keep track.

55. Have you ever thought that you were honestly going to die?

I didn’t, but my mom did.  I got really sick when I was in the tenth grade and refused to go to the hospital, but lost about 20 pounds in two weeks…she pretty much thought I was going to bite it.

56. Were you ever rushed by an ambulance into the emergency?

Nope.

57. Have you ever been dared to do something you didn’t want to?

I’m sure I have been.  I’m usually the butt of the joking.

58. What’s your favorite state to live in?

I enjoyed Florida.  And I think I’ll REALLY love California.

59. What color

is your hair?

I’m a brunette.  Although, lately it’s had some reddish hues in it.

60. What color are your eyes?

A very odd shade of brown.  They change colors…sometimes amber, sometimes greenish-brown…just depends.

61. Do you have any special talents?

I can juggle tic tacs with my nipples.  I tried melons once but they were too cold.

62. Favorite non-alcoholic drink?

Lemonade or ginger ale.

63. Favorite city?

New York City, Manhattan Borough.

64. Have you ever ridden a mechanical bull?

No, but I think it’d be fun.

65. If you were working on a pirate ship, what would you most likely be?

The damsel in distress.  What can I say?  I’m a princess at heart.

66. Who do you live with?

The ghosts in my bathroom.

67. Last thing you watched on TV?

Father of the Bride – How many times do I have to repeat this?

68. Do you wear glasses or contacts? 

Reading glasses at night…when I’m reading.

Yep.  Lots.  Hopefully in June, I’ll be taking the biggest road trip I ever will take.
