GAME: The CC Slambook!

[kissmytiara]

Yes, I deal with this daily at work. The mere fact that they breathe wrong is enough to want to smack them :) Come on, you know you know people like that.


What song is the soundtrack to your life right now?

[JamBray]

Right now it's "How to Save a Life" by The Fray

Are you doing what you want right now in life (professionaly speaking), and if not, how come?

[KrissyCat7]

No, not at all. I just graduated from grad school and my DH and I are moving back to our hometown next month....so for the past three years Ive been working a job that has been convenient while I was in school.

Have you ever had to go to court? For what?

[pocahontas]

I went to court for a traffic ticket (trying to fight the damn thing. :rolleyes: ) So I guess that counts.

Who was a teacher you still remember to this day and why was he/she so memorable (either good or bad)?

[ceaserbride]

Mr.Berry. He was a nice enough guy but a terrible teacher. I don't know if I learned one thing all year. He just told us stories from his younger years all day!

Who is one person you look to for guidence when strugling with a decision?

[c'est la vie]

My mom


What TV show you can't stand?

[sublime311]

Survivor and/or Fear Factor. The whole eating bugs thing is.. well.. for the birds! I'm so punny.

Do you practice Feng Shui?

[KrissyCat7]

Nope.

How many medicines do you take each day?

[sublime311]

4 plus the occasional Advil. The 4 are all asthma and allergy related.

Did you have all the usual childhood illnesses?

[mindy75]

No, I've never had any of the childhood illnesses. No chicken pox, no measles... not even the flu. I've still got my tonsils too. It sucked! I never got to stay home sick.

Is your glass of life half-full or half-empty?

[KrissyCat7]

My is half.....sometimes full, sometimes empty. Depends on my mood.

Is there something you've always wanted to do but havent been able to?

[CLW4KU]

I would love to fit into a size 8 pair of pants! A lot more WW meetings to go and maybe I'll get there!

What movie would you like to be an extra in if they did a remake?

[c'est la vie]

Gone with the wind, for the costumes. ;)


If you could hop in a plane right now, where would you go?

[Adaya]

Hawaii

Where will you be taking your next vacation?

[sublime311]

Pennsylvania to visit DH's family, probably. We don't have anything planned as of right now.

Do you think you have pretty good insight into yourself? Are you self-reflective? Do you know what makes you tick?

[CLW4KU]

I think I have pretty good insight. I am a HUGE journal person. Not only online, but on paper. I'm not a depressed deep thinker, but I like to self-evaluate everyone once in awhile. I'm very much a people person. I need to have interaction with people daily or I go nuts. But in a lifestyle that is so consumed with being around people I have to make sure that I take the time to just be alone and get myself together again. I think my faith is what makes me tick. If I'm not in the Bible daily I feel "lost" so to speak. So, I think my self reflection has to do with whether or not I'm leading a Godly lifestyle.

If you could go to any major sporting event, which would it be? Why?

[sublime311]

Is tennis, major? I would love to be a tennis player. I would be athletic without being total buff, I would get to wear hot little skirts and I'm already decent at the sport, so being pro would mean I would be better.

Are you a boat rocker? A rebel, if you will?

[pocahontas]

Ooooh, YES! Most definitely (as anyone who knows me can attest to...especially my DH. LOL)

Did you read Judy Blume books when you were younger?

[sublime311]

Yes! I was obsessed!

If you could write a non-fiction book, what would your subject be?

[KrissyCat7]

I'd write about cats. I find them fascinating.

If you could be on trading spouses, would you want to be? Why or why not?

[pocahontas]

NO WAY...that show is so hokey. (Wait, could I pick someone famous to trade with? Well...maybe. LOL ;) )

If you had to work for the Ringling Brothers Circus...what job would you do?

[May27JnJ]

Flying trapeze

If you could date one celebrity...who would it be? (even if it's just to hang out.)

[KrissyCat7]

Does he have to be single? If not then I would "date" Tim McGraw. He seems so wholesome to me and I love that.

What is one thing you really dislike about your best friend?

[pocahontas]

She is so cynical about men now that most of us are married and she isn't. I just want to set her up and marry her off already! :rolleyes: Geez...

What is one thing you dislike/drives you crazy about your mom?

[zhannushka]

Really - nothing. But if there's one thing about her which slightly annoys me, it's her tendency to take things very lightly, even when they shouldn't be...

If you had to choose between not working to stay home with your child, which would make you pretty broke or working, having your child in daycare, but having enough money to live very comfortably - which one would you choose?

[sublime311]

I suppose work and have my child in daycare. As much as I would hate the situation, I wouldn't want to worry about where money would come from for every little thing. The ultimate of course, would be if DH made enough for us to live comfortably while I was a SAHM.

Describe your relationship with your dad. Do you think that relationship reflects your relationship with men in general?

[pocahontas]

My dad died when I was 15 and because I was a "Daddy's Little Girl" I know without a doubt that affected me in my relationship with men because for awhile I would be very clingy with my boyfriends...I guess Dr. Phil would call that "Abandonment Syndrome"? lol :rolleyes: In fact, I think only now that I am married am I past that because any man prior to my husband I was like that with.

When you were in elementary school what did you always dream of growing up to be? Did that dream come true?

[KrissyCat7]

I wanted to be an attorney. I attended law school but I am not an attorney and never will be. It just wasnt for me.

What do you think the world will be like in 10 years?

[sublime311]

Really, I think pretty much the same, except hotter. I think we've gone through such intensive growth over the past 100 years, I can't imagine we will keep changing that quickly. Can I be hopeful, though? I hope the world has found peace.

Describe your average day.

[pocahontas]

Get up, shower, make lunch (some days), drive a freakin' hour :mad: , get to work and check my emails to prioritize what needs to be done (and how much CC time I will or won't have :D ), eat lunch, more work, go home or do client appts. if I have any that evening.

Describe your ideal next vacation.

[KrissyCat7]

Warm, sunny, lots of pools, luxurious room with a big whirlpool tub, good food and strong drinks.

Do you identify with a political party? Why or why not?

[sublime311]

I am a moderate Democrat. In a nutshell, I appreciate the lean towards social responsibility vs. individualism.

What decade of music (40's, 70's, etc) are you most drawn to and why do you think that is?

[pocahontas]

80's for sure...simply because I grew up in that era (although 70's would be pretty close in the running since my siblings grew up in that era and I listed to all their music as a toddler and elementary schooler.)

What's your favorite season? Why?

[sublime311]

Well, I have two really: Autumn and winter. In Tucson, though, it's really all just autumn. lol Anyway, why do I love autumn... Let me count the ways!


I love autumn because it means that our extremely hot (summer) weather is almost over
We were married on 10/16 (2004)
My birthday is 11/15
We have a new Thanksgiving tradition that involves going up to northern AZ where there is actually cold weather and possibly even snow
Christmas is just around the corner!


What's your sign? Do you feel the descriptions of the sign are pretty right on with your personality? Why or why not?

[KrissyCat7]

Aquarius. Some of the description I would say fits me, but then again I can identify with a little bit from each sign.

What do you do when you get really angry with someone?

[sublime311]

I cut them off. Like I don't acknowledge their existance. I think it's the worst thing you could do to a person.

In what ways do you express yourself? Is it art you create? A certain style you have? An activity you do? How could we tell who YOU are?

[KrissyCat7]

Im a huge goofball...I will just break into a strange dance...or start making faces....I just like to be silly. I dont take myself serious all the time.

What is the most important quality in a partner?

[sublime311]

Reliability. That they will be there for you through the good and bad.

If you could only pick ONE CD as your favorite what would it be?

[pocahontas]

OMG! That is so tough. I'd probably say anything by Sade or Prince. But for now I'll pick Purple Rain. That's a safe choice.

What reality TV show do you like so much you'd actually be a contestant on and why?

[sublime311]

America's Next Top Model, though it would have to be the plus-sized, middle-aged edition. ROFL

What is your exercise of choice? Why do you like it?

[KrissyCat7]

Kickboxing. I feel so strong and empowered when I do.

What is your least favorite chore? Why?

[sublime311]

Washing utensils. I HATE it to no end. I don't know why. Thank God for dishwashers. Which brings me to my second most dreaded chore: putting away the clean dishes in the dishwasher. I HATE it! Usually because I have dirty dishes to put in!

Describe the outfit you feel the best in. What about it makes you feel good?

[KrissyCat7]

Pink PJ pants and a fitted white tee. I love wearing my pjs. I just feel so good and relaxed.....and at home.

How do you feel about drinking alcohol?

[sublime311]

Well... My dad was an alcoholic and when I was younger I think I definitely displayed some alcoholic tendencies. Now, I drink on occasion. I have no problem with people who drink, I just want them to do it responsibly, unlike myself when I was younger.

How's your penmanship? Do you write mostly print, mostly cursive, or a combination of both? Do like the way you write?

[Liz]

My penmanship is neat. I write in print. I like the way I write.

Do you stay up later than midnight most nights?

[honeygirl]

No, I like to go to bed by 11pm. However, lately I'm tired much earlier!


Have you ever worn a skort and do you have one in your closet right now?

[pocahontas]

NO WAY! Never liked 'em and I'm so glad I went to public school where we didn't have to wear uniforms because most school uniforms involve skirts or skorts. :rolleyes:

What do you think people who knew you from HS remember most about you? (nerdy, popular, jock, "in-crowd", goth chick, class clown, etc?)

[KrissyCat7]

They would remember me as quiet....if they remember me. I was always a very quiet person and didnt really talk to people unless I knew them.

What song describes your life the best? Why?
