Question Game

Movies are like food, the best kind is always the one you're hungry for.


Do you see all movies at the theatre, or do you see special movies at the theatre and catch the rest some other way?
 
If I go by myself, I like the Sci-Fi. With my family, we tend towards the Disney/Pixar stuff. (and salty/buttery popcorn with peanut M&Ms. eaten together! and a giant-jumbo coke)


I usually wait for the DVD for movies that I want to see, unless my brother is in town and there is a Star Trek or Star Wars movie in the theater.

Have you ever been "asked to leave" a theater, or any other public place?
 
Well, I've moved around all my life so I don't really think of any one place as "home." But if the house where I live is home, then it was when my parents lived over seas and I had to go to boarding school in Virginia.

If you could go any where in the world, where would you go to escape and leave everything behind?
 
Just travel around South America. See all those old Atec Temples, Travel up the Amazon, fly over the Nazca plains, buy a motorbike and just ride with the wind in my hair.

What's the weirdest dream you remember?
 
I had a long flight from San Diego to Bahrain. The first couple of nights I was in Bahrain I had the same dream where I was trapped in this plane with no way off... ever.


Is there person, famous or not, that passed away long before you were born, that you would like to sit down with over cold drinks and get to know?
 
I would love to have met one of the great philosophers like Plato or Zeno. Ask Plato how he would explain the cave similie or discuss with Zeno his crazy paradoxes. If we met in our time ask what they thought of TV, the internet etc and if they liked the pint of Guiness I'd bought for them.

What simple philosophy do you try to live by?
 
Be nice and have fun :)

What saying do you always remember from an adult growing up? my fave was, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
 
Young people and green firewood, all you get is smoke

Not that I agree with that, but enough old people said it to me when I was growing up.

What sort of teenager where you?
 
I was a quiet teenage. The kid played a lot of baseball and took care of the neighboor's houses when they were away.


Someone you feel strongly enough about that you would be willing to sacrifice your life to save theirs.
 
my 9 year old daughter. The absolute center of my universe.


Someone who you think would sacrifice their life to save yours?
 
I am pretty sure either of my parents would and I know my husband would.

Who do you think knows you the best?
 
I would honestly say that the only person who really knows me is me. I think a close second would be my twin brother.


Who knows you the least, but thinks they know you the best?
 
That would be a girl I used to work with and sometimes go to happy hour with, she kept claiming we were the best of friends to everybody but had never been to my house, met my fam or really even asked anything about me but she would babble on about how well we knew each other. It was rather strange.

Have you ever had a moment were you thought you knew someone and then you saw that you didn't?
 
(those can be irritating, and amusing!)


I actually grabbed a guy by the arm in WalMart one day and said "Walter!".

of course, it wasn't.

Then, there was the manager in Toys -R- Us. He looked like a guy I used to work with named Anthony.

"Anthony! How long have you been here!? How are you?"

Daniel, as the toy store manager's name tag announced, looked at me as if I had three heads. :eek:

The funny (or sad?) part is, Anthony was a friend of mine from a completely different state! My wife hid her head in shame and left me there with my embarrassment! :eek:


Has someone ever mistaken you for an old friend? Or has an old friend started a conversation with you during which your only concern was trying to remember their name?
 
The fed-ex guy that would come into my work, went to school with me, I guess we had classes and he knew a lot of the same people I did but I couldn't remember him at all and one day my hubby came in and he couldn't place him either. We were sure he was delusional for awhile then we got out the year books and found him.

(Don't feel bad I've grabbed a strangers hand and started talking away, to look up and go "hey you're not my husband" and all the time Jeff was cracking up behind me.)

Do you like to pull practical jokes on your friends?
 
I used to play practical jokes quite a bit, but I have a perverse sense of humor, and little foresight, so my jokes usually came off as cruel, or hurt someone. (I once put a snake in my mother's oven. She turned it on to pre-heat and cooked it alive.)

I don't do those sorts of things anymore!

What is the worst (or best) practical joke you have been the victim or perpetrator of?
 
The best one recently was we decorated my Dad's roof while he was out of town so that the next time he flew (he has a small plane) over it he had a surprise :)

Have you ever laughed so hard you almost (or did) pee your pants?
 
yes...when i was a kid my parents used to ship us off to bible camp ( i know, right? ) so one day me, my cousin and a friend of ours were sitting in chapel and my friend carrie puts on a glove on the worng hand and because of the circumstances we got laughing so hard, our pew almost tipped over. it was the classic you can't laugh so you laugh harder, situation.

fave car of all time?
 
My first car will alway be my favorite. A 1974 Olds Cutlass 442. Black with gold stripes.


What is the fastest you've every driven?
