April’s Favorites

Since there were no blogs to report on my life at all last month, I thought I would provide a peace offering inspired by Kylie @ Kayjer.com and give you my favorites of last month. If I have any… I haven’t actually gone through the list to pick ‘em out yet, so I’ll be doing this real-time in relation to writing this out. I feel like I should be vlogging this instead? I’ve been watching way too much YouTube lately, FYI.

Book

I suck at reading. By that, I mean, I have reading ADD. I’ll crack open a book and read on the toilet and have complete intention of actually reading the whole thing, but it ends up taking me over a year to get around to it. For instance, The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown is what’s currently on my toilet, but I let my magazines distract me. I’ll let that book be my favorite since it’s the only one that has gotten any attention from me.

Song

Shoooot. I’m not sure if I’m confusing what song(s) have been drilled into my brain because suddenly the whole world caught on and it was the most shared video on my Facebook feed (Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye), but I actually really fell in love with “We Are Young” by fun.. Blame Glee. They introduced the song to me and once an official video of the original came out, I was in love with both version.

Movie

I don’t see a lot of new movies. I think the last one(s) I saw in theater was Breaking Dawn & The Three Musketeers in a drive-in in Santee1. I have been trying to watch more movies via Netflix and other methods. I think the one I’ve liked the best that I’ve seen this past month was Sense and Sensibility. I have a certain love for period movies like that.

TV Show

I watched & finished up My So-Called Life series2. It didn’t help my raging Lady Boner for Jared Leto and it made me remember how angsty middle/high school was and for that, I felt embarrassed. I also had hair in similar cut & color as Claire Danes’ from the show, and I think when people have said I look like her, I’m pretty sure it was from that era.

YouTube Video

Game

I didn’t play any games last month. Truth. Well, I do kill time during smokes and before I fall asleep with solitaire and Sudoku on my phone. Those would count, right? The only games I play are by default the favorite, right?

Bath & Beauty Product

I really love Cover Girl Lash Blast 24 Hour mascara. It makes my eyelashes look awesome and it stays put if I happen to tear up/cry… Which has been happening a lot after I put on eye shadow, for some reason.

Article of Clothing

I bought a cute black top from Old Navy that has a few buttons along the tops of the shoulders and I like it a lot. I haven’t worn it more than once or twice, though.

Drink

Sparkling water. It hydrates AND is carbonated AND is calorie free. Winner!

Pretend This is Sunday

Stolen from Hillary who stole it from Sunday Stealing.

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.

11. What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was 13 years old, getting ready to culminate junior high! That was a crazy year.

12. By this time next year, I …
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.

16. Tell me about your most recent trip of more than 100 miles?
I drove from San Diego to L.A. this past Sunday for my BFF’s baby shower.

17. Which do you use more often, the dictionary or the thesaurus?
Thesaurus.

18. Do you have a nickname? What is it?
I’ve been going by nothing but nicknames since at least middle school. Mika, Mike, Mickey, Mikachu, Meeks, Meeker, Michelob, Jello… I may have even missed a few lol.

19. What are you dreading at the moment?
Trying to pay shit off. ALWAYS.

20. Do you worry that others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
No. Anyone I care enough about already know the worst parts of me so if somebody judges me off these answers? Pfft, whatever. Go jump off a cliff ;)

21. In two words, explain what ended your last relationship.
Lost interest.

22. What were you doing this morning at 8am?
Sleeping (finally).

23. Do you have any famous relatives?
Nah, not that I can think of. However, anyone with the last name Shaw or MacPherson could be of some distant relation (Scottish clans can get pretty big).

24. How many different beverages have you drank today?
Water. So, one.

25. What is something you are excited about?
My BFF having her baby next month, the husband’s birthday, company picnic, not being a certain something anymore, getting my furniture out of storage at some point… A few things lol.

26. When was the last time you spoke in front of a large group?
I may have said something before or after I sang karaoke at our bar the last time we went.

27. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought?
Dang, I need to brush my hair.

28. What were you doing at midnight last night?
Just getting home from L.A.

29. What’s a word that you say a lot?
It’s more of a phrase – “Right on” is not only the common response at work, but it’s infiltrated my daily normal life as well and I don’t even realize when I say it!

30. Who is your worst enemy?
Time and money :P
