I got this idea off a friend’s blog. Here we go…
A is for age:
over 30, and that’s all I’m saying
B is for booze of choice:
I don’t drink
C is for career:
miserable computer tech working in a call center
D is for your dog's name:
I don’t have a dog, but I love dogs and want one. I think I want children, too… But should probably try a dog first!
E is for essential items you use everyday:
coffee- without that there is nothing
F is for favorite song(s) at the moment:
Comfortably Numb, by Pink Floyd.
I am sad to report that the song was actually written by David Gilmour, and not Roger Waters. I decided to stand on the Waters side of the fence after the band split up in 1984. I’m not saying anything bad about David Gilmour, just that I wish I could say that my favorite Floyd song was written by Waters. And it’s not. Good job, Dave!
G is for favorite games:
Football, to watch. I used to be a lot more into it than I am these days. I’ve actually road tripped hundreds of miles numerous times just to see an NFL game.
My favorite game to play is a video game called Star Wars Battlefront. I have a few friends at work who log in some nights and the three of us play head-to-head. I have to be honest and say that frequently there are little 10 year old kids in there from Germany and Australia who kick my butt on a regular basis! LOL
H is for hometown:
A land far, far away
I is for instruments you play:
I own a bass guitar. It is really cool looking, all black with an Amnesty International sticker on it. I bought it because I had a friend who played guitar, and he suggested we jam together… Then he moved away. Now I have this cool looking bass sitting on a stand in my living room collecting dust. I don’t play it. I’ve never had a lesson, and I don’t understand music. So, I guess the real answer is “none.”
J is for jam or jelly you like:
Strawberry. What red-blooded God-fearing American doesn’t love strawberry?
K is for kids:
Some day I’d like to have one daughter, and I plan to spoil her rotten!
L is for last kiss:
Wow! It’s been a while. But it was at the drive in, and I’ve forgotten her name. Isn’t that awful!
M is for most admired trait:
well, let’s see… My parents are really impressed with my “memory.” Although it is only random useless facts that I manage to store in there. For some reason, they are still impressed with that.
N is for name of your crush:
I don’t have crushes. I obsess over certain athletes and celebrities that I see in the media, but those are not crushes. For example: Natalie Portman… What a freaking babe! (I sound like a pre-pubescent boy there, don’t I!)
O is for overnight hospital stays:
Maybe back when I was a kid and had my tonsils out? I had elbow surgery a few years back, but they let me go home the same day.
P is for phobias:
certain numbers (I have OCD)
Q is for quotes you like:
“You’re gonna need a bigger boat.”
“What if this is as good as it gets?”
“Open the pod bay doors, Hal.”
R is for biggest regret:
Not being more decisive while in college and pursuing a degree that would actually help me get a job. Also, not participating in any internships while in college.
S is for sweets of your choice:
Okay, I have this ritual of eating several Reese’s Peanut Butter cups all at once. I buy like 12 – 18 of them at a time, put them in the freezer for 20 minutes until they are crisp, but not frozen. Then I individually unwrap them, put them on a serving tray, cut some of them in half, and sit in front of the TV systematically downing them all. I’ve never let anyone ever watch me do it. I think it might frighten them off.
T is for time you wake up:
NPR begins to wake me up at about 6:10am. I hit snooze several times before eventually getting out of bed at 7:00.
U is for underwear:
boxers
V is for vegetables you love:
Does anybody really love vegetables?
W is for worst habit:
Hmm… I would say smoking. But I quit several months ago, so now I clearly have no bad habits! LOL
X is for x-rays you've had:
lots
Y is for yummy food you make:
For my birthday this year a friend took me to The Cheesecake Factory and I had their meatloaf platter. I gotta say, that was pretty freaking good! (Oh, I just re-read that... Food I make? I don't make any yummy food).
Z is for zodiac sign:
Taurus…. But I don’t believe in any of that crap (awful “stubborn” of me, eh?)
