We Want To Know Wednesday

1. Everyone seems to have a quirky family situation-- what is something unique about your family dynamic? 

I guess what's unique about my family is that I am my mother's only child, but I have 3 half-siblings and 2 step-siblings.  Also, both mine and Michael's moms are twins...kinda crazy, huh? 

2. What is the most stressful aspect to blogging (aside from the network going down)?

Comments.  Commenting...replying to comments...making the rounds.  It gets stressful sometimes keeping up with it all and then you do what I do and just become a total blog fail for a while. 

3. We all end up on a blog at some point in our day, but name your top 3 favorite websites you flock to daily (non blog)!

Twitter.com
FanFiction.net
Letterstotwilight.com and Letterstorob.com

4. What’s your sign? Believe in it or not, does any part ring true to you?

I'm a Libra. 

This is what I found when I Googled "characteristics of a Libra" :

The objective of a Libra is to spread harmony and co-operation in his surroundings. Libra symbol is a pair of scales. It is the only Zodiac sign to be represented by an object. The basic characteristic of Librans is fairness and justice. They focus all their energy in balancing everything and are very good at maintaining a perfect balance. Librans have the ability to view complex situations with an unbiased consideration. After weighing all the options, they always come up with an impartial solution.


They are socially active and enjoy the company of like-minded people. Due to their basic nature, these people are creative and love art in every form. They like to experiment with colors, form and elements in everything they do. With regard to interpersonal relationships, Librans are specialists. They have the habit of putting others’ needs on a higher priority than their own. They can diplomatically find the solution to any problem however serious it may be. “To every action there is an opposite and equal reaction” – this explains the behavior of Librans. They can easily control ‘cause and effect’ which make them perfect strategists.

I'm not sure how much weight I put in my zodiac sign, but I do see some of the things listed about in myself.

We Want To Know Wednesday : Musts

I am linking up once again with Shawn, Impulsive, Mama, and Janette for their nosey-azz questions.


This week, Shawn came up with these fabulous "MUST" questions:


1.} What must you do before you go to bed at night?  I MUST take my make-up off and brush my teeth, AND I must read on my Kindle or iPhone.  I can't go to sleep until I do...it's like a soothing lullaby.


2.} What is one thing you must snack on at the theater?  Um, not really any MUSTS, but I do love Hot Tamales!


3.} Before going on vacation what must you do?  I MUST have a clean house.  I HATE coming home from vacay to a dirty house.  Not happening!


4.} What is one thing you must do every day?  So many things...um, where to start?  I don't know how to pick just one.  Pray, drink coffee, interact in social networks, give Isaiah lots of hugs and kisses, laugh (TOTAL MUST), be a dork ('cause I can't help myself), take vitamins, call my granny...


5.} Is there something you do that must be done in a particular order? Yeah, lots of things, but I'll use showering for example...I always always always start with my hair, shampoo it, wash my face, rinse my hair and my face all at the same time, put conditioner in my hair, lather up, wash, shave, and then rinse my hair and everything else.  In that order.  No variations.

We Want To Know Wednesday : Week 5

 
I'm linking up once again for my mid-week-blogging-fix with Impulsive, Shawn, Mamarazzi, and Jannette for WWTKW!

A one-way plane ticket to Europe...return date TBD.

{3} What would be the hardest current luxury for you to give up?

I'm pretty fond of indoor bathrooms and electricity.  I also am not in favor of giving up my iPhone, Internet, or satellite television (including the DVR...we're BFFs).

I know that's more than one, but my blog, my rules.

{4} If you were given a choice between being given great wisdom and great wealth, which would you choose?

I'll take the wisdom.  Thanks.

{5} If you were to be stranded on a deserted island for 100 days what 5 THINGS would you pack?

1. A hammock - I don't like sleeping on the ground
2. My life-size Edward Cullen (I can't let LBB one-up me)
3. My Kindle (LOADED to the brim with downloads)
4. A solar power source for said Kindle
5. A knife and LOTS of matches (I know that's two, but I had to squeeze Edward in there)

We Want To Know Wednesday : Week 4

I'm linking up once again for my mid-week-blogging-fix with Impulsive, Shawn, Mamarazzi, and Jannette for WWTKW!

This week's questions are brought to us by the lovely Jannette from Est 5.26.07 ~ The Johanson Journey.

She wants to know...

1. What game show have you always thought you could be on and totally WIN!

Hmmm...I think I would do pretty good on the Singing Bee, as long as they stick to 90's hip-hop/rap, hairbands, and country.


2. Do you have a tattoo(s)? What are they and what made you chose them? If not, would you get one, yes/no/why?
 
Holy shiz.  This is where I lose followers.
 
Wellllll...yes, I have tattoos.  3 of them.  They are:
1. A cresent moon and two stars on my left foot.  A blue star for Michael (his birthstone is a sapphire) and a red star for Isaiah (his birthstone is a garnet)

2. The phrase "frequently dazzled" with an apple and "sparkles" on my left side (on my rib area)...the saying is from Twilight and the apple of course is also from Twilight...and the sparkles are...um, well...from the sparkly vampires of Twilight.

3. A Mockingjay on my back between my shoulder blades...the Mockingjay is a fictional bird from the Hunger Games Trilogy.  If you wanna read more about why I picked it, you can read THIS.

3.  What is your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? 

My wedding ring.  It's the piece of jewelry I've had the longest.  I don't buy expensive jewelry, so it's the most valuable thing I wear.

BUT I also really love this cuff bracelet and I wear it more than I should.

4. What is your driving pet peeve(s)?

People driving slow in the fast lane.  Pisses me off.

5. What was your favorite sitcom growing up that you wish was still on?
 
From the 80's - The Cosby Show.  Bill is hilarious.

 
From the 90's - Seinfeld.  We still watch the re-runs and used to have every episode recorded to VHS tapes.

We Want To Know Wednesday

If money didn't matter, where would your perfect vacation take place? Briefly describe.

We Want To Know Wednesday : A little bit of random

I'm linking up today for week 2 of WWTKW!  Joining Impulsive, Shawn, Mamarazzi, and Jannette in some mid-week fun!

Thank the Lord for link-up parties, because I might never make a blog post.

I'm becoming a one trick pony. I'll try to rectify that. After I finish my next fan fic. Soon.

On with the show...

1.} What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex? Are you an eyes or a smile person? Maybe another body part?

Welllllll, I think I notice eyes first...and then I scan down to check out other parts *achem*...then I eventually make my way back up to their eyes...and jaw line...and hair. I love good hair.

2.} If a movie was being made about you, who would you like to see cast to play you? And would your movie be a comedy, drama, romantic-comedy, action film or a horror movie?

I think I would like Sara Rue to play me...she's quirky and funny and a natural redhead. 

It would definitely be a comedy w/ a romantic flair.

3.} Does your high school yearbook include a senior comment section? If so, share what you said about your future goals. Have you met those goals? If you do not have a yearbook, just share what your goals were when you were 18 and if you have met them. If you’re brave enough, include your Senior picture!

So, this was funny to look back on.  You kinda forget what your 18 year old self was thinking back then...makes me laugh. 

My goals were...and I quote..."Attend Southwestern A/G University or OU and major in psychology or education (apparently I like to leave myself with options), wait for Alan to get back (<----I totally forgot about this guy...'til yesterday), and see what happens! "

Thanks to IA for hookin' me up with some yearbook info. 

In case you're wondering, Alan was my (much older) boyfriend, who lived in Norman (where I went to school at OU and majored in Elem Education).  I had met him the summer between my Jr and Sr year.  I was head-over-heels for him, but turns out he was a womanizer/girlanizer.  We were ova about a month after school started.  Note to 18 year old self:  You shoulda dumped him WAY before then.  Your senior year would have been a LOT more fun.

For your entertainment...my senior pic...kinda blurry due to it being a picture from the yearbook courtesy of IA! 

4.} What latest trend simply baffles you?

I'm not really into the rompers...I thought those went out of style when we were 5?!

5.} When you walk into a room how do you present yourself? Do you walk in with confidence and command the attention of others or do you slink in and do your best to go unnoticed?

I think I try to blend...unless it's my party, then of course, I feel in control.  Otherwise, I usually just try to mingle with people I know until I get acquainted with any new people.

This was fun, Shawn!

Be sure to stop by one of the hosts' blogs and link up!!

We Want To Know Wednesday : Friends

I'm linking up today for the first ever WWTKW with Impulsive Addict, Mamarazzi, Shawn, and Janette. This should be a fun mid-week meme...hopefully keeping me out of hiatus status, so I stay off of Impulsive's "big trouble" list. Each week there will be a new set of questions for us to answer on our blogs and link up with the Fab Four!

Let's get started... (cue the video for some scrolling/reading music...my theme song for this post.)

Band of Skulls - Music - More Music Videos

Yep,  my friends are beautiful.  Wanna hear about them?  Here it goes...

IA, M, S, and J asked us to answer these Q's about our friends:

1. Do you make friends easily?  Um, yeah.  I think I do.  I'm social and pretty easy to get along with.  I seem to have friends from every area/era of my life, so I think that equates to making friends easy.
2. What 3 qualities are a MUST in a friend? 1 - honesty/trust.  You just can't have a good solid friendship without that.  2 - humor/fun.  I am a fun-haver...and I love to laugh, so if we can't do those things, our friendship is likely to be short-lived.  3 - common interests.  Let's face it without things to talk about or things to enjoy together, can you really have a "friendship"?  I think not. 
3. What makes YOU a good friend? I'm loyal and trustworthy.  I LOVE to have a good time...and I have no shame in sacrificing my own dignity to make that happen.  If we're friends once, we're friends for life.
4. Have you ever met a bloggy friend in real life? Yes? Tell us about the meet up. No? Who would you love to meet? So, yes.  I've met several blogging/online friends.  The first person I ever met from the blogging world was Melissa.  She used to be a regular blogger on a blog called The Crazy Daisy.  You can read about my trip to Denver to surprise her for her birthday HERE.  I've also met Julia from Brainella.  We met up at the Starbucks in Owasso while she was here with her family visiting family.  We talked non-stop and had a great time!  Of course, I've met all of The RHOK ladies, who I met through blogging and a few of them ended up coming to my first Twilight premiere party I threw for New Moon.  The rest is history.  Plus, I've met a lot of bloggers through our RHOK Outs.  Meeting bloggers is a favorite pastime!  I can't wait for next month when I get to hang out with Impulsive, Shawn, Becca, Vivienne, and Jen for a couple of days in Austin!!  It's going to be epic!
5. Who is your best friend? Tell us about them. I kinda hate this question.  I don't like putting my friends in categories, per say.  However, I'll answer to the best of my ability.

First, there is Jordana.  She is one of my oldest friends.  We've shared a million and one experiences together...the good, the bad, and the ugly.  We've known each other since grade school, but we've been best friends since I was in the 9th grade.  We went our separate ways at college...she attended OSU and I attended OU.  You would think that would have been a deal breaker, but we managed to stay tight although we attended rivaling universities.  We both married Michaels.  She's always been there for me...maid of honors at each others weddings, births of our children, funerals, etc...and although we don't see each other in person as much as we would like, I know she would be there for me, no matter what...and she knows the same is true for her.

Then, there is Trisha.  We met through blogging...and we've never met in person.  BUT she's my person.  She is who I tell my deepest darkest secrets to...like how much I weigh, and the dream I had last night involving Rob Pattinson and a volvo.  We talk on the phone occasionally, but we keep up with each other's daily lives through text.  We like share the same soul.  She's a kindred spirit.  I swear most of our text start out with one of us saying something and the other one saying "ME TOO"!  The top of my bucket list has Trisha's name on it...we must meet in person ASAP. 

I can't leave my cousins out of this list of BFFs. My cousin Lindsay has been in my life since the day she was born.  We've always had a special bond and it reaches across the miles, as she moved away and left me a few years ago.  We share everything and we count down the days until we'll see each other again. 

The same goes for my cousin Kristen.  She's my girl.  We share a love of shopping, Coach, and Starbucks.  She even indulges my Twilight addiction and went to The Twilight Convention with me last year.  She's getting married this September and I'm so looking forward to witnessing this next phase of her life.

And there is Alison.  My long lost cousin...who we didn't even know each other existed until she moved to Oklahoma from Arizona about 5 years ago.  It was kismet.  We were meant to be together.  We share an undying love for all things Twilight and Rob Pattinson.  She helped me plan my last premiere party...my partner-in-crime.  She is my sushi-lovin-twilight-watchin-movie-going-wine-drinkin friend.  She left me and went back to Phoenix, but we are still close and miss each other like crazy.  Can't wait until she's here in November for Breaking Dawn!!

And of course, there are my 3HOs3...Impulsive Addict (Skillz) and Mona (X-Rated).  I love these girls like Charlie Sheen loves crack and whores.  We have the best time together at our monthly GNOs.  I've known IA for about my whole life.  We go way back to grade school, but we've just recently reconnected and made it a point to hang out.  Mona and I have been friends since the 6th grade when she moved to Dub Town.  She was in my wedding and we've remained close friends through the years.

And of course there are all of you guys...I love my BBFs!  What would I do without you all?!
