1. You’re building your dream house. What’s the one thing that this house absolutely, positively MUST HAVE? (other than the obvious basics of course)
Built-in shelves everywhere.
2. What is your dream car?
A Rolls Royce. That’s my beautiful-but-(totally)-unlikely dream car.
3. What is your favorite website that isn’t a blog?
EcstasyMB.org.
4. iPhone 4 or Droid, which do you want?
Droid. I know the husband wants it badly enough that we’d actually consider switching phone companies.
5. When you’re feeling down or lonely or just generally out of sorts, what do you do to cheer yourself up?
Retail therapy works, but only if I have the money to spend. Otherwise I may just suffer through it, sleep through it or watch something on Netflix.
6. Tell me about something or someone that you love that most people seem to hate.
The husband lol. Uhm… I love pickles/mushrooms – a lot of people seem to hate those.
7. What do you want to be when you grow up?
I’m still trying to figure that out. Happy, ultimately.
8. Would you go on a reality show if given the chance?
It depends on the premise of the reality show. I mean, if it’s purely to make a fool out of me, than no because I’ll do that enough on my own.
9. Who was your favorite teacher when you were growing up. (Grade school, Middle School, Jr. High or High School only.)
Elementary School: Either Mrs. Erickson or Ms. Weiss. They were my 5th and 4th grade teachers, respectively. Mrs. Erickson taught drama and that’s how I managed to participate every year (but one) in the plays during my elementary school career. Mrs. Weiss had an awesome money system with school work and extra credit, she also introduced me to art and line dancing 
Middle School: Dr. Krubsack. He was the choir teacher – I was placed in his Advanced Choir 6th period class when I wanted to do something other than drama in 7th grade. He looks like a gruff man, but he’s so amazingly kind-hearted and fun. He loves all things relating to Spam. He was encouraging and if he had to be, stern and authoritative if anyone actually was out of line in his presence.
High School: Mr. McGee. He was a favorite of my friends’ when I transferred to the 2nd high school and I ended up taking his earth science class my senior year. He’s like a 2nd father. He’s so supportive, encouraging and, like a father, will yell, scream, and punish if the need be. He’s so in love with learning – it’s amazing and inspiring.
10. You get one pass to do something illegal or immoral. What are you gonna do?
I steal me a LOT of money.

I was 13 years old, getting ready to culminate junior high! That was a crazy year.

Have finished a semester of college (at least a couple of classes!) and if not still working where I am, I’ll have stuck myself out there and gotten an office job of sorts.
13. Do you think the United States will elect a female President in your lifetime? Do you think this would be a good thing?
I’m sure it can and will happen. I don’t know when, but we’re getting there. It should be a good thing. Can’t be any worse than what the men have done
14. Which fictional, TV show character you would shag anytime?
Mr. Schuester from Glee
He’s cute with a hot body AND can sing? Where the frick do I sign up??
15. What is your greatest pet peeve?
Either feet (socked or bare) near/touching me, or improper grammar/spelling – even online.

Trying to pay shit off. ALWAYS.

Lost interest.

Time and money
