The lovely and talented  Issa, tagged me with this beauty.  She’s on a blogging break at the moment, but feel free to go over and peruse her archives.  There is some kick-ass writing over there.

1. Name someone with the same birthday as you.

Ronald Reagan.  When I was a kid, and he was president I sent him a birthday card one year.  I got back a little letter (Form letter, of course, with a stamp) but I thought it was cool.  Still have it somewhere.

2. Where was your first kiss?

Um, don’t remember.  Must have been a doozy.

3. Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else’s property?

Does writing “asshole” in the dirt of someone’s car count?

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

No.  But I decked a girl in high school.  Broke her jaw.  I was a lot more….aggressive..then

5. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people?

Yup.  Senior year in high school my best friend and I entered a singing competition.  She played the piano and we both sang.  We sang “The Rose”.  We came in third.  Not bad considering we ended up in the orchestra pit for our performance since the piano on stage was busted.

6. What’s the first thing you notice about your preferred sex?

If I’m up close, it’s scent.  Farther away…the eyes.

7. What really turns you off?

Stupidity.  Arrogance. Cruelty.

8. What do you order at Starbucks?

Not a coffee drinker ( Ok, Issa, stop gasping, now.) So I usually get hot chocolate or a warm vanilla creme.

9. What is your biggest mistake?

Whew..I’ve made many.  Probably not pushing harder to stay in college. 

10. Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose?

Um, no.

11. Say something totally random about yourself.

I love to eat chocolate cake with a dill pickle.  I love the combo of sweet/sour.

12. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?

God, no.

13. Do you still watch kiddie movies or TV shows?

Oh yes.  In fact, I can’t wait for Ava to get older so I can share my childhood favorites with her.  I will drop everything if I find Looney Toones on.

14. Did you have braces?

Nope.  Probably should have though.  I have a nice overbite.

15. Are you comfortable with your height?

What height?  You mean my lack of it?  At 5’4″ ish.  Yeah, I suppose so.

16. What is the most romantic thing someone of the preferred sex has done for you?

I know there is something, but my brain can’t come up with anything.

17. When do you know it’s love?

When you realize you can put up with all the little things that annoy you about someone.

18. Do you speak any other languages?

Only in curse words. 
19. Have you ever been to tanning salon?

Sadly, yes.  I fried myself to a crisp as a teen.  I will pay for that one day, I know.

20. Have you ever ridden in a limo?

Yes.

21. What’s something that really annoys you?

People who don’t think the rules apply to them.

22. What’s something you really like?

Chocolate.  Caramel.  A good mystery. Snuggling with Ava.

23. Can you dance?

Can I dance?  Yes.  Can I dance well?  Noooooooo.

24. Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance into the emergency room?

No.

25. Tag 5 people! Because pretty much everyone I would tag with this has already been tagged, I’ll pass on this part.
