I've been Memed!

I saw this on a blog I follow, and decided to post my own!

1. Name someone with the same birthday as you.  Michelangelo, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Shaquille O'Neal. I always go overboard.

2. Where was your first kiss? At my eighth grade Sweetheart Dance. My date was in 9th grade and snuck in, and I rewarded him for his effort.

3. Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else's property? No.

4. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex? All the time. I grew up with two brothers, and a bunch of guy friends. It was always a slug-fest.

5. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people?  It would depend on your definition of large. I've done karaoke many times, with possible around 30+ people in the room. Arenas? Stadiums? Ampitheaters? No.

6. What's the first thing you notice about your preferred sex? Whether they've got that twinkle in their eye.

7. What really turns you off? Being patronised, disrespected or disregarded because of my gender.

8. What do you order at Starbucks? I've never been to a Starbucks, actually.

9. What is  your biggest mistake? Incidents where I emotionally hurt someone I love dearly.

10. Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose? Not that I can think of.

11. Say something totally random about yourself.  I love steak.

12. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity? Once someone told me I looked a little like Brooke Shields, but I think it was mainly because we shared the same hairstyle.

13. Do you still watch kiddie movies or TV shows? Yes. Mostly because I have two children, but some I truly do enjoy and would watch regardless.

14. Did you have braces? Yes. Soon as all my permanent teeth came in, the orthodontist slapped braces on them.

15. Are you comfortable with your height? For the most part. I'm tall for a girl, but I'm the shortest person in my family, which makes me wish for just an inch or two more in height.

16. What is the most romantic thing someone of the preferred sex has done for you? My hubby has done so many thoughtful things for me, it would be impossible to list them all. But I'd have to say, his proposal was fantastic.

17.  When do you know it's love?  When you can pee in front of each other.

18. Do you speak any other languages? I speak the dialects of Redneck and Hillbilly fluently, and can say a smattering of phrases in German and Spanish.

19. Have you ever been to a tanning salon? I have tanned before, on a very infrequent basis. I haven't in over 6 years though.

20. What magazines do you read? KODT mag, Psychology Today, Good News, Gothic Beauty, trashy tabloids

21. Have you ever ridden in a limo? No.

22. Has anyone you were really close to passed away? Not in a long time. My dad passed away when I was a kid, and I had some grandparents I really loved pass away close to 10 years ago.

23. Do you watch MTV? On occasion, if I happen to be someplace that has cable or satellite (I have none), and they actually happen to be playing music videos.

24. What's something that really annoys you? Narrow-minded or close-minded people. It bugs me to no end that so many people are unwilling to place themselves in another person's shoes to get a glimpse of their perspective.

25.  What's something you really like? Singing. I'm not great at it, but if I were unable to sing, it would leave a gaping hole in my life.

26. Do you like Micheal Jackson? I liked him when he was a good-looking black fella, but when he became a creepy, white woman, child molester, I checked out.

27.  Can you dance? I can do the Carlton, some bellydancing, some club dancing.

28. What's the latest you've ever stayed up? When a younger friend of mine keep me out till 6 a.m. I just don't have her stamina. At 2 a.m., I have to find a bed.

29. Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance to the emergency room? No.

30. Do you actually read these when other people fill them out? Yes.
