AuburnChick's Adventures

I always love the Random Dozen questions!  Join in on the fun by posting the questions on your own blog and then visiting Linda to link up!!

1. Do you believe, somewhere deep inside, that blondes do indeed have more fun? That they are “dumber” than brunettes or redheads? Be honest!

This is a tough question because I consider myself blonde, although my hair has darkened with age and is now sporting a smattering of white hair.

Do I think blondes have more fun?  No, although they/we like to think so.  Are blondes dumber than those with different hair colors?  Most definitely NOT.  I’m a teacher.  I have seen kids with all sorts of colors, including pink and green.  Let’s just say that dumbness is an equal opportunity employer.

2. Which animal would you most like to observe in its wild habitat?

When I was a teenager, my high school class took a field trip to the zoo.  One of the guys started agitating a gorilla by running back and forth in front of its cage.  The gorilla finally got so mad that it picked up a pile of gorilla poop and threw it at my classmate.  My classmate ducked, and the poop hit a very young elementary student in the face.

So, why the long story?  Well, because I wonder if gorillas really throw poop in their natural environment.  So, this is the animal I’d like to observe.

3. This week the U.N. announced that Dr. Mazlan Othman has been appointed the official “Alien Ambassador,” should any extraterrestrials contact us. Have you, or has anyone you know, ever seen a UFO?

First of all, please tell me that my tax dollars are not going to be funding this most atrocious of positions.  Seriously?

So, have I or anyone I know seen a UFO?  Unless you can count my mom flying across the room to tear a knot in my rear end when I was a child, then no, I can’t say that I’ve seen a UFO of the alien kind.

4. Name your favorite Hitchcock film.

How sad is this, but I have never seen a Hitchcock film.

5. Would you rather spend time at the library, the mall, a craft store or home?

I’d rather be home.  I am a homebody.  What can I say.

6. Which Disney princess is your favorite? (Or Disney character, if you are a guy)

Does Ariel count?  She was King Triton’s daughter, so that makes her a princess, right? 

7. What kind of art is your favorite?

I think that artwork done in pencil is pretty.  I subbed for the art teacher at Rooster’s school, and some of the students had incredible talent using a pencil to draw and shade in their pictures.  I think this kind of art is very raw, and it’s hard to cover up your mistakes.

There.  Did I sound like an expert?  heehee

8. How do you feel about viral videos, that is, videos made by amateurs that end up on Youtube receiving thousands of hits?

Viral videos don’t bother me.  I don’t usually watch the links that people post to them because I think they are a little overrated, but sites like YouTube have really opened up the world.  Where else would you see a dog praying?

9. Where do you buy your jeans?

I buy my jeans wherever I can find some that fit.  I am so petite that I have a hard time finding small sizes.  I usually get them from American Eagle, but I found a pair at Aeropostale not too long ago.

10. Tell me about your first automobile accident.

I’ve been very fortunate not to be in any serious accidents.  I have been in three small fender benders.  My first one would probably be the time someone rear-ended me at a stop light.  This happened a little over ten years ago, and the Mr. was in the car with me.  It wasn’t a super-hard hit, but it was enough to scare me.  To this day, I am skittish where it comes to waiting too long to start pressing the car’s brakes.

11. Have you ever been honest when you knew you would benefit more if you would be dishonest?

Yes.  Lies can be so much easier to tell if you know they are going to keep you out of trouble.  While I won’t say that I’ve never lied (that would be a lie), I will say that in some big things, I’ve been pretty doggone honest.

12. If you were appointed “Ambassador to Aliens,” what would you show and tell first about life on Earth? What would be the most difficult thing to explain?

I think the first thing I would show them is the Double Chocolate Chip Frappucino from Starbucks…

Of course, while introducing said drink to said aliens, I would probably talk about God and His plan to save mankind by sending His Son to die for us.  See, I’d have to, because God is such a huge part of my life that it would inevitably come out in my discussions with them.  I think that grace would be a difficult thing to explain, though.
