57 Things...

Oh yeah, a stolen generic "list" post. C'mon, it's Sunday - you can't expect my best stuff on a Sunday. But you can thank my editor's eye for noticing certain numbers were skipped and now the numbers have been corrected.

57 Things You Can’t Possibly Know About Me

1. What is in the back seat of your car right now?
Nothing in the backseat, golf clubs and a roadside kit behind the row of seats. Can't beat SUVs for cargo space.

2. When was the last time you threw up?
I think it was right after Thanksgiving, when the nieces brought the plague.

3. What’s your favorite word or phrase?
Any variation that has the word 'fuck' in it.

4. Name 3 people who made you smile today?
No one... but, I haven't seen anyone yet today.

5. What were you doing at 8 am this morning?
Sleeping.

6. What were you doing 30 minutes ago?
Emptying the dishwasher. It's quite exciting around here on Sundays.

7. Have you ever been to a strip club?
C'mon, it's practically part of orientation for college.

8. What is the last thing you said aloud?
I believe it was something along the lines of "yuck" upon noticing that the dishwasher didn't do a great job of cleaning some of the forks.

9. What is the best ice cream flavor?
I've always been partial to a chocolate/vanilla swirl.

10. What was the last thing you had to drink?
My typical morning bowl of tea.

11. What are you wearing right now?
A. You're a pervert for asking.
B. Basketball shorts... which is another way of saying I'm still in my pajamas. Love the lazy Sunday.

12. What was the last thing you ate?
burger and fries that I had for dinner last night

13. Have you bought any new clothing items this week?
Nope

14. When was the last time you ran?
Since you didn't specify how long you need to run for it to qualify, I had to run to cut off Brewski yesterday.

15. What’s the last sporting event you watched?
Sox game last night

16. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Dublin to visit Liz, then to Vegas for some golf (I'm assuming in this scenario I'm rich...)

17. Ever go camping?
Oh sure, I love camping.

18. Have you ever lost anything down a toilet?
No. I don't usually have anything else in my hands at the time. I'm kind of focused on what I'm doing... aim is critical.

19. What is your guilty pleasure?
Reese's Peanut Butter cups and terrible movies that I hope people don't notice I own. If they do I blame ex-girlfriends for mixing our movie collections (sorry, ladies, but I totally throw you under the bus).

20. Do you use smiley faces on the computer a lot?
Almost never.

21. Do you drink your soda from a straw?
Only at the movies or when ordering from a drive-through

22. What did your last text message say?
I'm not your Buddy, Guy! (it's from South Park)

23. Are you someone’s best friend?
Isn't that a question for them?

24. What are you doing tomorrow?
Waking up, showering, job hunting, editing, surfing the web, plotting to take over the world.

25. Where is your mom right now?
Wareham. That's as specific as I can be.

26. Look to your left, what do you see?
myself... I have a large mirror for my closet door. And I need a shave.

27. What color is your watch?
Silver. Also, dust-colored, as I almost never wear a watch. But, I still like to make sure the battery is good - I'm weird like that.

28. What do you think of when you think of Australia?
Outback Steak House... mmm, steak. I'm sure for Australians this would be as insulting as saying TGIFridays represents America.

29. Ever ridden on a roller coaster?
Yes, which is how I know I would much rather hold coats, purses and prizes won that day than go on another one.

30. Birthstone?
I don't know, and I'm not looking it up.

31. Do you go in at a fast food place or just hit the drive through?
drive through... if I have time to go inside I'm eating somewhere nicer than fast food place.

32. Do you have any friends on Facebook that you actually hate?
I don't have Facebook, but I know there are people on there I'm not fond of. Allow me to elaborate: just the other day, I got an email from Facebook, reminding me that people have invited me to sign up. I get this email all the time. But, this particular email, the four faces they choose to show me as examples of who wants me on Facebook were a random Lithuanian dude and 3 ex-love interests. Scrolling further down the email under the "Other people you might know" section, were pictures of those 3 ex-love interests' new boyfriends/husbands. Not exactly the kind of people I'm in a rush to reconnect with.

33. Do you have a dog?
sadly, no.

34. Last person you talked to on the phone?
My aunt

35. Have you met anyone famous?
Yes. Though, I'm still kicking myself for not talking to Steve Carell when I randomly saw him in the Braintree Sports Authority years ago.

36. Any plans today?
mowing the lawn, shower, going to Play It Again Sports, watching golf, Sunday dinner with the family... living like a rock star.

37. From whom did you get this?
the Notorious Elizabeth Jane.

38. Are you happy?
Quite, thanks for asking.

39. Where are you right now?
my bedroom.

40. Biggest annoyance in your life right now?
People who don't respond to emails in a timely fashion, if at all.

41. Last song listened to?
"Birthday Sex" by Jeremiah. I didn't think it was a real song until I looked it up and now it's stuck in my head. The chorus is rather catchy.

42. Last movie you saw?
(500) Days of Summer. And if anyone asks, it was in the theatre and not a bootleg copy off the web. That would be wrong. (quick review: Not bad. They make it pretty clear how the movie is going to end at the very start, which I'm not a fan of, but still a decent movie.)

43. Are you allergic to anything?
poison ivy, bees.

44. Favorite pair of shoes you wear all the time?
Just my sweet green and white sneakers.

45. Are you jealous of anyone?
No

46. Are you married?
Nope

47. Is anyone jealous of you?
Can't imagine why.

48. What time is it?
GAME TIME!
Sorry, that's a reflex. It's 11:08 AM.

49. Do any of your friends have children?
Yes

50. Do you eat healthy?
No. But, I know I don't... do I get any credit for that? I mean, isn't admitting you have a problem a good first step?

51. What do you usually do during the day?
surf the web for freelance work, job hunt for something more permanent, play some Tiger Woods '09...

52. Do you hate anyone right now?
No.

53. Do you use the word ‘hello’ daily?
Yep

54. How many kids do you want when you’re older?
2. But the psychic said I'm not having kids and she's been right about a couple things so far, so I guess I'm getting shut out.

55. How old will you be turning on your next birthday?
The big 3-0. As it's a birthday that ends in 5 or 0, I'm actually planning on celebrating it this year. Big step.

56. Have you ever been to Six Flags?
Yes. There were boats that you could drive and fire tennis balls at the other boats.

57. How did you get one of your scars?
a terrible boot/swing set accident. Though, to be fair, that's more of a dent than a scar.
