48 Things You Never Knew About Me: Part 6

21. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?

Silence. It's so quiet in my office! No music, nothing. I have one CD that I listen to - the Rock of Ages sound track (Thanks, banana! Sorry I nicknamed you banana for my blog!!) - but if I listen to that too much I go kind of crazy. Oops - also, I'm *not* writing this at work, mmkay? So pretend like none of this ever happened. I'm moving on to the next question now.

22. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?

wtf kind of question is this? I have no idea. I wouldn't exist if I were a crayon. In the sense that I would be me. I would be an inanimate object with no thoughts, feelings, or life. Probably eaten by a child, dog, or drunk guy on a bet. Melted in the sun, lost in a couch cushion...who knows?! I sure wouldn't, because I would have no brain!! But, yeah, anyway - yellow. I would probably be yellow.

23. FAVORITE SMELLS?

Uhhh.... I like the smell of my new deodorant/body spray? It's...what is it? Water something. Water lily? That sounds wrong. It's some flower. Anyway - I like the way it smells. I also like the smell of matches, and campfires. Most air fresheners and candles, other than lavender or cotton or fresh laundry. Blech. I love the smell of sheets that have been in a linen closet for awhile. My sister knows what I'm talking about - I assume others do, too. Certain cleaning supplies. Especially the laundry detergent I made. It smells so good! Men's deodorant/body spray. Rawr...

24. HOW IMPORTANT ARE YOUR POLITICAL VIEWS TO YOU?

Ehhhh... I guess it depends on the topic. I'm pro-life, pro-marijuana-legalization, pro-let-adults-marry-who-they-want.....and I'm sure pro-other-things. (Note: word it so you're always pro-something. It sounds better.) But as far as politics go...I'm eh. I don't like any politicians, honestly. And I can't stand to try to keep up with the news to form an opinion as to who is the least terrible. Last election I voted for the Green Party candidate. Kind of throwing my vote away, but I also think it's important for Americans to realize there are more than two parties to vote for in this glorious country. And Republicans and Democrats suck, generally.

48 Things You Never Knew About Me: Part 5

17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?

Gah...everyone? One of my best friends growing up passed away in a car accident when we were in high school. Sometimes I feel like a terrible friend, because there are people who remember the exact day she passed and her birthday and always post on FB on those days...and I just don't. But I think about her a lot and I'm like...why? Why did that have to happen? What would her life be like now? Would we have kept in touch? And then there are all my grandparents. I went from having all four (plus one surrogate) living to none within about five years. That just sucks. Especially my mom's parents - they were fairly young and healthy. Died in a car accident. It just...sucks. None of my grandparents saw me get married.

And as far as living people - I miss my parents a lot. I don't see them as much as I used to. And I feel like I'm not as close to them as I used to be. There's this sort of double life I'm living where I have to hide certain aspects of myself from them and it's weird. I don't like it. I also rarely get to see my brother and his wife, since they live in Alabama. Of course, I never see my sister and she lives in the same city! I miss hanging out with all my CS friends. But not enough to ever want to go back to school. Gross... And I miss Mr. T absolutely any time he's not around. Doesn't matter if we're at work, he ran to the store, or he's in another state. I miss him.

18. WHAT IS THE TECHNIQUE THAT YOU NEED TO WORK ON THE MOST?

Self-motivation. Getting housework done. Working out. Running errands. Getting organized. There is so much I want to do! I never feel like I have the time to do it, but when I do have free time, I just sit on my butt and watch TV. Stupid Mrs. Wilson!

19. WHAT COLOR SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?

Black. I really need new flats and low heels for work. Bah!

20. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?

I just had breakfast! Cup of coffee and Eggo's cinnamon toast waffles. Those things are the bee's knees.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?

Hmmm...this changes, I guess. Sometimes a good vanilla really hits the spot. And sometimes I want chocolate. Sometimes I mix the two. Sherbet is fantastic as well. Sherbet mixed with vanilla ice cream...mmmm... If you want to get fancy, maybe go for some chocolate chip cookie dough, or moose tracks. Really, you can't go wrong with ice cream. Except strawberry. I don't like strawberry ice cream.

14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?

Eh, a general overall appearance. Weight, height, clothing, face/hair... I'm pretty judgmental and either think "wow, hot" or "wtf is wrong with <body part>??" And I always assume people do the same to me. So woo!

15. RED OR PINK?

Eh.... I guess it depends? But I'm thinking I might lean more towards pink, oddly enough. Green is my favorite color, but you can't mix it with red or it goes Christmas-y. And with pink you have a lot of options - hot pink, pale pink, salmon, fuchsia... Huh. I guess I like pink. Well, more than red, anyway.

16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?

Physical appearance and/or lack of motivation to improve myself. Darn women with their poor self-esteem! I think overall I'm decent, but I'm about 20 lbs more than I want to weigh and soooo not in shape. I have poor posture. I don't know how to apply makeup properly so I never wear it. My face is still pimply and lame, even though I'm in my mid-twenties and this should be over with by now!! 8P And then, as much as I hate the way my body is...I'm too freaking lazy to actually exercise. WTF is wrong with me??

48 Things You Never Knew About Me: Part 3

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?

Negatory. That, my friend, is just crazy. I will also never sky dive. Just thinking about it kind of makes me have to poop. I don't really consider myself scared of heights, until I end up somewhere really high. Then I get dizzy and this weird sense of "What would happen..." and suddenly: terrified. When I end up somewhere really high in Minecraft my butt hole clenches. There is no way I'm jumping off a bridge or out of a plane irl. No. Way.

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?

It varies. I have random cravings for different ones, sometimes adult and sometimes sugar-riddled children's cereal from my past. I think I might buy Life next. Mmmm...cereal is so fantastic, guys. So fantastic!

11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?

Dude, I don't even own any shoes that lace anymore. Well, not any that I wear regularly. I still have my old Vans from high school that are laced vertically with the knot hidden INSIDE. Remember that?? How cool we were?! Do kids still do that? Oh! I also bought some boots for a photo shoot that lace, but they have a zipper down the side, so those don't get tied/untied, either. Laced shoes are for babies. You're not a baby are you, baby? Baby.

12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?

Physically or mentally? Either way, no. Now open this pickle jar while I weep over a toilet paper commercial.

5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?

NOPE.

6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?

I think about this sometimes, and I'm honestly not sure. Because things I find annoying in other people I realize are things I do. So...do I find them annoying because I want to be the only person that does that thing? Or is that thing I do genuinely annoying? Also, I don't really like females. I'm trying to fix that by having a Ladies' Night at my hiz-ous every week or so but, yeah...don't have a lot of female friends. So I'm not sure I'd add me to the list.

7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?

Nope, never.

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?

Yes, yes I do. I also have those weird balls of bacteria that people who still have their tonsils get. Which, I don't get them as much as I used to. What does that mean? Am I better now, or worse? Do you get those? I've met other people that do - it's not just me. And we've verified that it is due to tonsils. And we all agree it is by far the worst smell in the world. But you have to smell it! Every time! Oh it's so gross. Anyway - short answer is "Yes."

48 Things You Never Knew About Me: Part 1

Yeah, I'm not doing all 48 in one post. Suck it. Also, I find this easier than actually thinking. So suck it twice.

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?

My name is Sarah. Half the female population is named Sarah, I think. The other half is Sara. As far as naming me after anyone my parents actually knew...I don't think that happened. My middle name was also random. Which, I mean, is fine. But I want my kids' names to have a little history behind them.

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?

What kind of person asks this kind of question?! Ya freaks... I don't know when I last cried! Probably some cute puppy video or something I saw online. I don't cry often, but when I do it's over something stupid and not tear-worthy.

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?

Eh. Sometimes. It gets the job done and is legible. That's all anyone can ask for. Especially considering how terrible my mom, brother, and husband's handwriting is. Sheesh. My mom often can't read back what she's written if you take it to her and ask. And my brother once scribbled out his signature on a birthday card and rewrote it because it was so bad.

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?

Ummm.... Ham. Yeah, imma go with ham on this one. I like honey ham on honey wheat with cheese and baby spinach. I just discovered I have no idea how to spell "spinach". God bless spell check, amiright? Oh shut up, spell check - "amiright" is totally a word! Fickle love, that. I guess I might also add some onions and honey mustard. omg so much honey on my sandwich! And now I really want to make this. But when I buy sandwich supplies they all go bad before I eat 4 sandwiches. I'm too lazy. :(
