Feed My Curiosity

TAG ALERT!

The tagging culprits are Meg and Lex! I will comply since they're good blogger friends of mine. They both put together a few questions for me to answer. I will be tagging a few people to continue this infinite tagging cycle.

1) What do you most regret in life?

2) Paper or plastic?

3) What is your favorite infrequently used word?

4) What was your favorite toy/game/thing to do/place to go growing up?

5) Describe yourself in five words. GO!

6) What piece of literature/film of particular cinematic merit inspires you most? (Kidding. It doesn't have to be fancy. Just a book/movie. Or even a really long Youtube skit. Whatever. And it doesn't necessarily have to be inspiring.)

-Miss Meg

1) Sometimes I feel like I'm the craziest person person in the world...So you have to tell me something that makes you a little insane so I can feel better about myself.

Okay no, I'm kidding, but you still have to answer it :D

2) Would you rather kiss Voldemort or Susan Boyle?

3) What is one impossible thing you wish was possible?

4) What type of dinosaur would you be? I want you to research extensively and match yourself up with one that has similar personality traits =P

5) If you could move anywhere in the universe, where would you move? (Notice how I say "universe" which means if you would like to reside on Mars, or set up camp in a black hole, that's perfectly fine.)

6) Theme song of your life?

7) Gallbladder or liver?

-LEXical Semantics

1. I’d rather not get into too much dramatics so I’m going to impart a pithy narration. My father met his demise when I turned 10 years old as he lost his battle with brain cancer. I was oblivious that he had cancer until the day he died. I was too young to process the information and my parents chose not to disclose his illness with my younger siblings and I.

On the night of his death, I was glued to the television watching Clueless when my mom called us kids to enter my parents’ room one by one. I stomped my feet on the way to the room and laid next to my dad against my will. I was so crabby. When I left the room and resumed my tv programming, a loud thump resounded around the house. That was the last time I saw my father alive.

2. I prefer to use paper over plastic. I might as well do my part and contribute to the green movement regardless of how small the effort is. I have an eco-friendly shopping bag in the form a strawberry.

3. ameliorate http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_1861585088/ameliorate.html

4. I went through a stage where I had to carry around all my Disney Princess castles everywhere. I have a collection of all the Disney Princess castles that were released in my younger years from Snow White to Mulan. Alas, Pocahontas wasn't part of the collection. A tipi isn't so bad! The last collectible I received was Mulan for my 12th birthday.

5. I believe myself to be loquacious, anal, sprightly, neurotic and perceptive.

6. A few years ago, I came across a short film on YouTube called Spider. It comes to show that there's an appropriate time and place for jokes. Pranks aren't so funny when the tables are turned.

1. I sleep with my eyes half open and I pull each of my fingers twice after sanitizing them.

2. We've all established that Voldemort is a horrid looking creature while Susan Boyle has mutated into a less haggard looking woman. Voldemort has nothing to hide behind his appearance though who knows what else Susan Boyle can morph into? That being said, I'd rather kiss Voldemort than risk another capricious transformation by Susan Boyle.

3. If I could raise the dead, I'd like to have a moment with Audrey Hepburn and Albert Camus.

4. I chose an Ornithomimus. It has a bipedal stance and weighs around my size. Aside from being an agile runner, some things I have in common with this particular dinosaur is the fact that it's omnivorous, wide hips and has large eyes. From what I've gathered, the Ornithomimus happens to be a vivacious dinosaur so that mirrors my personality.

5. Of all the components of intergalactic space, I'd like to reside on the Great Andromeda Nebula. The collection of minute stars around the external galaxy. To witness such brilliance will leave me awe struck.

6. It has become a mantra of mine to live by the lyrics of the song. I believe that better days shall come.

Song of choice: The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow - Annie.

When I'm stuck a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow

7. I'd like to hang on to my liver, Lex. I can do without my gallbladder but can only survive with one liver. Bereft of a gallbladder means less intake of fatty food. I believe I can hack that.

I take pleasure in tagging the following people:

Roxy

Paola

  2. I loved your answers, and Lex's questions were great too. The video was a great choice; I'd never seen that one before. It really resonated with me, as I have an ex who liked to do immature, ignorant things like that in order to be "cute." And by ignorant things, I mean like tickling me while I was driving and the like. Needless to say, I ended the relationship rather abruptly.

  3. @noisy me Thanks Lalaine! You better because I can't wait to see what you have to say! :P

    @Miss Meg Thanks, Meg! It took me a while to think of those questions. I was composing the entry while watching a movie with my fiancé. He wanted to toss my laptop away. :)) The video is priceless! I have a fondness for short films so I thought of sharing this one. Tickling you while driving!? I'm glad you got rid of him! That is so immature! There's a fine line between being cute and annoying. You obviously upgraded your choice in men. You seem happy. ;)

  5. Is this what you were telling me about? Or was that something else?

    I'd rather kiss Voldemort too btw. Especially prior to the transformation, meaning when he was still in a Hogwarts uniform. Ooohlala. :p

  14. Very interesting writing and fun to sail through your blog ! Learn some as well; then again, I grew up in the 60's !

  15. 1. If you had a chance to go back in time for 24 hours, where would you go and why?
    I'd be living the life of my comic's character lol. I'd probably go play the lotto (i gotta start watching the lotto in case that happens.) so I can pay off my damn school loans. Enough to just support myself would be cool, I'd be free to just draw comics all day.

    2. What material possession can you not live without?
    My MacBook,Cellphone and tablet.

    3. What's your first thought in the morning and last thought at night?
    First Thought: Why the FUCK am I awake so early...I'm hungry.
    Last though: ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz.
    (I fall asleep super fast cuz I only go to sleep when I'm dead tired)

    4. If you were given the liberty and opportunity to pursue a new career, what line of work would you delve into?
    I think I'd just reinforce what I already know. I think i'd just go into digital design more, as in commercial use in order to get a better background with that.

    5. If you were to win the lottery, how long would you wait to tell others?
    Lol, funny this came up. I'd tell others after I'd be in a safe place where they couldn't rob me. Or i'd tell them through a facebook video after hiring a bodyguard. (My friends are drowning in loans too...)

    6. What aspect of your personality is most peculiar to you?
    I guess my nervousness when I talk to guys sometimes. Like very macho guys who don't talk much. I feel like such a girl talking so much in front of them.

    One last question:

    Is there anything exciting about yourself that you would like to share?
    Only thing that comes to mind that you might not know already is that I'm a green belt w/ black tip(important) in Tae Kwon Do and compete in fighting tournaments. I have a sprained shoulder for like 6 months now from a previous fight. I should prob do rehab soon.

  16. My name is Law :) that's what my friends call me, oh your name is so pretty. Thank you for your comments xxx

    ReplyDelete
  17. @Vintage and Cake Thanks, Law! I saw! I'll include the tag in this entry. :)
    @Wong Thank you! I'm wondering as to what cartoons were shown in your time. I've got to ask my mom about that! :P
    @Mike School loans are ridiculous! It will feel easy when you're in school but once you're done, you'll be paying it off for the rest of your life. Thanks for your answers! I took Taekwondo too but I stopped when my mom found out that my head slammed on the floor. :)) My sister's a black belter. Nice information! :)

  18. 1. If you had a chance to go back in time for 24 hours, where would you go and why?

    Hawaii! Jeff and I lived there for a year. After we got married, friends and family started moving away. Since we have not procreated at that time, we decided to spin the globe and our fingers landed on Hawaii. After a year of paying off debts, we quit our jobs, sold all of our posessions and backpack to Hawaii. The first month we were there we did absolutely nothing but basking in the sun, eating awesome food, and scouting out places. We both got jobs within the same week of applying and met some awesome people who invite us to luau parties almost every weekend.

    2. What material possession can you not live without? Ah you know this.

    My camera and portable hard drive containing thousand of pictures I've taken over the years. If there had been a natural disaster, those are second to be rescued after my family.

    3. What's your first thought in the morning and last thought at night?

    First: "God I hate my job!" Last: "I should be getting to bed, it's after midnight for christ sake."

    4. If you were given the liberty and opportunity to pursue a new career, what line of work would you delve into?

    Design! Hands Down!

    5. If you were to win the lottery, how long would you wait to tell others?

    A very long time or not at all. News travel fast, they'll find out eventually.

    6. What aspect of your personality is most peculiar to you?

    That I expect people to have my level of expectation (Ugh, this sounds arrogant). That I scrub EACH grape with a moistened paper towel before it goes in my mouth.

    One last question:

    Is there anything exciting about yourself that you would like to share?

    Wow, this was tough. How do you rate yourself without being biased!? I can honestly say I've been to more places and eaten more restaurants in Minnesota than the average Minnesotans who have lived here all their lives.

    1. If you had a chance to go back in time for 24 hours, where would you go and why?

    First: more 5 minutes. Last:This day sucks, i hate this day.

    4. If you were given the liberty and opportunity to pursue a new career, what line of work would you delve into?

  20. Thanks for tagging me Toni, sorry for the late response coz I've been quite busy. I enjoyed answering your interesting questions.

    So here goes:

    1. If you had a chance to go back in time for 24 hours, where would you go and why?

    I'd go back to when I was a kid. I can do all the crazy things I want and actually get away with it. I'd eat all the ice creams, chocolates and cotton candies I want without any fear of gaining weight.

    2. What material possession can you not live without?

    My diamond engagement ring :-)

    3. What's your first thought in the morning and your last thought at night?

    My first thought is what food to eat coz I'm usually hungry. Hehe! Last thought are the happy things that happened during the day and how lucky am I to love and be loved in return.

    4. If you were given the liberty and opportunity to pursue a new career, what line of work would you delve into?

    Id want to be a fashion designer in New York and live THE fast life! To experience freedom, independence and be street smart as well. These are the things I'm not coz I've always lived a sheltered life.

    5. If you were to win the lottery, how long would you wait to tell others?

    I prolly will buy surprised gifts to all my loved ones first and wait for their "WTF?" reactions. Then that's the time I'll admit. After which I'll say that I finished all the money already so that people will stop pestering me for money. Actually I've been harboring a lot of lotto fantasies. Haha!

    6. What aspect of your personality is most peculiar to you?

    I hate crowded places. I feel kinda claustrophobic, uncomfortable and weird each time. I feel as if I'm being watched and scrutinized all the time. I know it's just in my head but it sucks big time! But I'm still trying to fight this feeling though coz it's annoying to other people. They think I'm too choosy, fussy and picky everywhere I go.

    One last question:

    Is there anything exciting about yourself that you would like to share?

    This question just made me realize how unexciting I really am! Haha! Let me think, ummm...I can write poems...gosh I can't think of anything else. Ok I hope that will do. Hehe:-)

    -My computer, i guess. I just can't spend the day without it. Lol.

    3. What's your first thought in the morning and last thought at night?
    -Call me obsessed but lately, it's WESTLIFE. They're my very first thought in the morning and my last at nightfall. Haha! (That's actually a line from their song, 'OBVIOUS') They totally make my day!

    4. If you were given the liberty and opportunity to pursue a new career, what line of work would you delve into?
    -A magazine editor maybe? :P

    5. If you were to win the lottery, how long would you wait to tell others?

    6. What aspect of your personality is most peculiar to you?
    -I don't know really.

    One last question:

    Is there anything exciting about yourself that you would like to share?

    Thank you TONI for tagging me! Mwah! <3
