AuburnChick's Adventures

So, the Random Dozen is no more; however, Joyce decided that she liked answering random questions each week, so she devised her own meme, which I think I will participate in. 

This gives my brain a break…at least one day a week.

The rules are simple.  She posts the questions on Tuesdays, you answer them.  There are only seven, but you add your own eighth random question…just to keep things interesting.

Post your answers on Wednesdays and visit her blog to link up with other bloggers!

So, thanks, Joyce, for keeping the randomness alive!

1.  Do you think you’re more like your mom or your dad?

I am like both of them.  I didn’t grow up knowing my dad, but I met him as an adult and was instantly drawn to his quirkiness.  In this way, I am like him.  My mom is weird, and I do not claim the weirdness gene at all (quirk is different from weird).  But, she is an extremely hard worker, which describes me to a “T.”

2.  Do you like roller coasters?

No.  I cannot STAND roller coasters!  When I was a young child, my dad (this was back when my mom allowed him to exercise his visitation rights) took my sister and me on a roller coaster.  You would think that a father would sit in the middle, thus protecting both girls, but noooo, he didn’t.  He sat on one end, and I sat at the other.  My sister, who was younger, sat in the middle.  I nearly fell off of the ride, and it scarred me for life.

3.  How did you name your blog and do you now wish you’d thought about it maybe another five minutes before you hit publish? Would you change your blog title if it were not a huge pain in the derriere? (French makes everything sound a little nicer doesn’t it?)

I created my blog in the spur of a moment, so little thought was given to the name.  I went with something very basic.  Had I to do it over, I do believe that I could have come up with something a bit more creative.  Oh well.

4.  What is the best wedding gift you received? Not married? Didn’t get any gifts? Then what is the best wedding gift you’ve given?

My favorite wedding gift was the Nintendo game console that my sister’s boyfriend’s family gave us.  I mentioned that I’d like one, kind of as a joke.  When the Mr. and I got home from our honeymoon, we found the gift waiting for us.  I was floored.  It was an expensive gift, but my sister had dated this guy for a while, and with it being a small town, people were close.

5.  What is the one bill you most hate to pay?

By far, I cannot stand paying my car payment.  It comes out of my check, and it is a huge hunk of it.  I have about seven more payments, and then I’m done.  I cannot wait.  Then, I’ll start using the money to pay back my student loan.  Oh.  Joy.

6.  Is the glass half full or half empty?

I remember one of my high school teachers drawing a picture of a half-filled glass, and she asked if we saw it as half-full or half-empty.  I answered half-full.  She later explained that this is a good way to judge how we view the world.  I was quite pleased with myself, for this is, indeed, how I do view the world.  I am not a negative person but see the potential in every situation.

7.  What is your favorite word? Okay okay. Calm down. How about one of your favorite words?

Chocolate.  Hands down.  I love chocolate.  What more do I need to say?
