For I Have Been Tagged

Oh memes... It has been so long. Tagged by fantastic_jackie

You give 11 random facts about you, answer the questions I've asked, and then tag 11 people to answer the 11 questions you give.

So... I guess considering I don't HAVE 11 friends (yet), I'll just...write some questions... And if someone out there wants to answer them, go for it! :D

My Random Facts

1. I take VERY hot showers. The last time I checked, it was over 111 degrees Fahrenheit, but that was months ago. As time goes by, they get hotter and hotter. I have medical reasons for doing it, but it also just feels AMAZING.

2. Come Fall, I become addicted to one drink: Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Frappaccino. Mmmm so good! Between September's release date and sometime in January when supply is dried up, I may have up to 4 per week. So...so many calories... But WORTH IT!

3. My boyfriend is a pilot who...is not flying. <.< He seems to have changed his mind on what he wants to do, and although it still involves planes (yay!), I may be more depressed about it than he is. I'm not sure... But I SOO wanted him to wear the uniforms that pilots wear!! :(

4. Growing up, my favorite book was Cupid and Psyche. I used to check it out every week just to stare at the pictures.

5. I want to have a neutral-lilac room some day. I'm not sure why, but since I was little, it's how I imagined my "grown up, but still single" room.

6. I am wishing the number 11 came after 5 at this moment in time.

7. To my horror, when I am sick, I snore like a morbidly obese man, choking on his own fat. O_O If you ARE a morbidly obese man, YOU have an excuse. -I, however, am not a morbidly obese man. I have no excuses. T.T

8. There is something about me that calls to women in public restrooms. There can be 15 open stalls, but if I happen to go into one and another woman follows shortly after, she will undoubtedly choose the stall immediately next to me. It does not matter whether I choose the very last stall, the middle, or the oddly located stall -you know, those bathrooms when you're like "Why...are there toilets here?" -I see them, looking in the stalls to see if there's someone using them. Once they find me, they breathe a sigh of relief and flounce into the one nearest me. I almost expect them to put their hand, shaking in fear under the divider and ask if I will hold their it while they do the deed. -Peeing is so scary.

9. Once a month, I make a mixture of eggs, sour cream, honey, baking powder, and olive oil and place it...in my hair for 20 minutes before showering and washing it. -I have long, curly hair that gets very dry and dull. I looked online for at home solutions because store-bought treatments had no effect. -To my surprise, it works wonders! -Though I suggest googling it yourself if you're interested in trying it... Each item does something different. I made up the mixture after reading what each one did. :)

10. I often wonder why curse words are curse words. Does anyone know why?? I'm just curious... (but clearly not curious enough to use a search engine :P)

11. I have incredibly vivid and adventurous dreams. Most often, they involve me being a secret agent of some sort and saving either someone or the world. Sometimes, it is cool... But most times, it's just weird.

Jackie's Questions

1) What's your dream vehicle? Car, boat, plane, shuttle, etc?

It is...a Porsche. I'm not sure which one, just as long as it's not an SUV. In short, I want one of their AMAZING sports cars. :D

2) You have the ability to bring any one amazing major technological advancement to the human race, medical advancements included: what would you choose?

Time. Travel. So many careless mistakes could be avoided... And if you knew something bad was going to happen before it happened...er...after it... but THEN before it... -then you could be prepared! Or if you lost someone...you could go back in time and spend more time with them. Yeah. It'd be awesome. :D I think it's better than any medical because no matter how many times you're cured, morbid as it may be, eventually everyone dies.

3) Now you have the ability to change peoples' minds on a political subject: what truth would you share that everyone would suddenly agree with you on?

Hmm... Originally, I was gonna say abortion is murder, but then I thought... What if I could convince the World that pacifism was THE way to go, and war was never the option? -As things stand in reality, pacifism is not an option because our enemies are not pacifists... But idealistically, THIS WOULD END WAR! That would be pretty flippin' sweet.

4) Who is the hottest fictional character you've read about or watched on TV and why?

Uh... I would say Andy from The Man, but... He was pretty much...Andy. So that doesn't count. :P -I guess instead..... Read about, Serious Black (Harry Potter -OBVIOUSLY) or Dodge Anders (The Looking Glass Wars, Frank Beddor). Serious, I don't know why. He just was. -And Dodge... Dude. Alyss disappears from Wonderland for HOW many years, and he STILL cares about her from when he was a kid? Yeah. That's flippin' sweet. XD On tv... Right now, I've gotta admit Merlin, as played by Colin Morgan. He's such a good guy, crazy talented, AND adorable!! EEE!!

5) Tell us a crazy driving story. -Preferably one when someone did something stupid, and somehow suffered the consequences. (Let's not get too dark here though, guys...)

Ok. So this one time... A literal couple of days after Jacks and I purchased our 2011 Sentra, we were driving home from work late at night. The road we were on had 3 lanes on each side, and no other traffic save one black SUV, who was going about 32 MPH in a 45 MPH zone. I was not rude as I passed him, having switched lanes at least 15 car lengths before reaching him, and I made no attempt to get back in the same lane. But shortly after we drove past, Jacks and I realized this guy had a superiority complex. Enraged, he sped up and began tailing me. I never slammed on the breaks (NEW car!!), but I did let my foot off the gas. Seconds after that, he swerved and tried to cut us off, but I KNEW what the douche was gonna try to do, so I would not allow him in front of me. We drove down the 3 lane stretch, between all 3 lanes, me easily out manuevering him every attempt he made. Eventually, we caught up to other 2 cars waiting a red light, the first of two "twin lights," which are less than 10 car lengths apart and are equipped with cameras. Both cars were in their own lanes; genius got stuck behind another car, and I got my own lane, followed after a while by another car who pulled in behind me. :D When the light turned green, I used all 4 of Tiny Shiny's (my Sentra's name) cylinders, and we sped through the 2nd of the twin lights. Genius was stuck behind the now 3 cars, the first two of whom undoubtedly saw how much of an idiot this guy was as we approached in their rear view mirrors, and the 3rd who had pulled up behind me who just so happened to be a slow driver. Douche bag was swerving behind the 3 of them the last I saw him in my mirror, and caught the next red light thanks to Street Justice! Aww yeah!

6) If you could afford to travel anywhere and be gone for up to a month, which countries and states would you visit?

I wanna go to Rome, New Zealand, Australia, and Philly (again). I would also kidnap Andy for the journey. :D

7) Did you know that you should be saving at least 10-15% of your income each year for retirement and that people who start as late as in their 30's will probably have a hard time saving enough? (Oh yeah. I went there. I haven't been to work in a week!)

Why, yes. Yes I did. -I currently save...I'll say at least that amount. ;D Er'rybody should!

8) Who or what inspires you & how?

Other people's art, whether visual or audio. I suppose seeing their work come to fruition inspires me to realize my own.

9) Name an animal which could not be a pet which you find cute, amazing, beautiful, or otherwise fascinating.

I want a sky bison. :D (Since they're not real, they technically qualify as "unable to be a pet." XD)

10) Rec an awesome song or musical piece.

Thru the Glass -by Thirteen Senses

11) What book or series should everyone read?

If you WISH you liked the story of Alice in Wonderland, but just find the story pointless, check out The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor. Gives the story a purpose. :D -Also, if you haven't read the Percy Jackson series, you SO should. It's written at a children's level, but I really enjoyed the books. :)
