all about yours truly

If you're a girl (born in the 80's), you know you remember those books we filled in for each other.

Who's your celebrity crush?  

If you could do any job in the world, what would you do?

They were s-o-m-u-c-h-f-u-n.  It was the perfect way to capitalize on our narcissistic ways, and to learn more about our friends and how weird they were.

As an adult, I thought this might help me remember that I'm still a girl.  That I still have a personality with likes and dislikes.  And that I'm still cool.

Without further ado, my reflections on teenage questions.

• Last person you talked to?  Patrick
• Last thing you ate?  #4 from Jimmy Johns
• Favorite clothing item you ever bought?  A gorgeous cream mini skirt with black stitching.  Ann Taylor Loft circa 2004.
• Favorite subject?  Right now, it's obviously science.  In high school?  Probably English because I was a boss at grammar.  In college?  Political Science, hands down.  My professor was so hawt. 
• How many times have you been to Disney?  Two.  
• Speaking of Disney, who is your favorite princess?  Cinderella.  Have you seen this trailer?  March can't come soon enough.
• Would you go to a Justin Bieber concert if you had free tickets?  Heck yes.
• Do you wake up with an alarm clock?  Yes, it's three foot tall and wears fleece footie pajamas.
• Ever cried in public?  Yep, at just about every commercial.  Also, my senior year on the opening night of our musical (March 21, 2003), the entire cast sang Happy Birthday to me and it was one of the happiest moments of my life.
• What do you hope your job is in ten years?  I want to work at a university teaching future teachers.  
• Would you ever wear flare jeans?  Okay this is hilarious.  It used to be: Would you ever wear skinny jeans?  And yes, I wear both. 
• Favorite store?  Target. 
• Do you google abbreviations you don't understand?  Oh yes.  My students say "TBH."  I guess it means "to be honest."
• Do you want to lose weight?  Sure, why not?  Is it on my mind a lot?  No.
• Anything on your body you're self conscious of?  Not really.  If I had to say something, it'd be my bumpy nails.  #heredityprobs
• Would you say you read into things too much?  Not at all.  If anything, I don't read into them enough.  I let things go easily.
• Ever liked someone WAY older than you?  Ummm...see "professor" above.
• Must-have beauty items:  eyebrow pencil & blush
• What body part do you wash first?  Hair
• What's something weird that you like?  Flossing, Jets
• Favorites...
• Ice cream flavor:  mint chocolate chip
• Instrument:  I used to play the flute, but to listen to?  Piano or violin.
• Animal:  Lion or Sloth
• Country you've been to:  Out of Canada, France and England...I'd have to say Canada.
• Actor:  Leonardo DiCaprio
• Actress:  Got to be Jennifer Lawrence.  But I just saw Mockingjay last night so I'm partial.
• Music video:  Ah!  There are so many.  I really love Shania Twain - Man! I feel like a woman, Taylor Swift - Mine,  Many Moore - Cry, Dierks Bentley - Come a Little Closer, Aerosmith - Cryin', the list goes on and on
• Drink at Starbucks:  Salted Caramel Frapp
• Time of day:  Dusk
• Restaurant:  Anything local.  Must have great food, beer on tap, and my husband next to me.
• TV Show:  Seldom watch, but either Jeopardy or Big Bang 
• Color:  Green

And just for good measure...

Celebrity crush:  Shia LaBeouf, Gerard Butler, either of the Hemsworth boys...

If you could do any job in the world, what would you do?  I'd be Cinderella at Disney.  Something about the blonde hair, the black headband and the blue dress.  Oh, and the prince.  Perfection.
