bring it, baby!
just got off the phone with GorgeNet:
"Hi this is Rob with GorgeNet, I'm calling to make an appointment for dsl install..."
*astonished* "Really? It worked?"
*reassuring, almost smug* "Yep, it went through, Sprint is scheduled to work it on the 25th."
there's more where that came from...
So we set up an appointment for the morning of the 26th... just in time for my days off! (Happy Birthday to me! woot!)
Shall we have a dsl party? Oh wait, I'm already having a tight party this saturday [to which everyone is invited] I can hardly wait (for both events)! God is so good!
*wiggling excitedly in her seat* ...enough already!

100 Questions
as seen all over, at many different blogs!
there's more where that came from...
- Are you an innie or an outie?
a major innie
- Have you ever worn bell-bottoms?
not on purpose
- Have you ever written a song?
yes... *makes mental note* "find those writings and resurrect if possible"
- Can you make change for a dollar right now?
maybe from my change jar
- Have you ever been in the opposite sex's public toilet?
ok, I admit, I still can't read that without feeling dirty... But, yes. Only on dire occasions, mind you!
- Have you ever smelled your own feet?
on my more limber days, were there a suspicious waft in the air
- Do you like ketchup on or beside your french fries?
ranch, and beside.
- Can you touch your tongue to your nose?
um, no...
- Have you ever been a boy/girl scout?
I'm a Girl Scout [leader] as we speak
- Have you ever broken a mirror?
I used to slam the heck out of my bedroom door when I was upset. Followed by a wallowing listening session of "Stand By Me". I was sure that one day the slam would be enough to shatter the full length hung on my door. Alas I apparently don't own the strength to cause such damage.
- Have you ever put your tongue on a frozen pole?
on the 4th of July, this year, I got a Rocket-Pop in the parade... it was warm out, I was super-excited. So I whipped it out of its packaging and promptly plopped it in my mouth.
me, the dork: *tongue stuck to below-freezing popsicle* "uhleah!
onlookers: *confused* "What? What's wrong!"
me: "Ih thuh!"
Parentally it was a source of endless amusement for my family!
- What is your biggest pet peeve?
being interrupted and/or not being listened to... Grrr!
- Do you slurp your drink after it's gone?
if it's super-yummy, yes!
- Have you ever blown bubbles in your milk?
I never really drank milk at that age [you know, the bubble-blowing age] I'm semi-allergic to it. It gives me major mucous.
- Would you rather eat a Big Mac or a Whopper?
um, a Baby Burger from The Ranch [a local burger joint Nela works at]. Breakfast at Mickey D's is the bomb!
- Have you ever gone skinny-dipping?
oh yeah, I'm a nudist... just ask Levi
- When you are at the grocery store, do you ask for paper or plastic?
both... I've covered the reasons in some other super-extensive survey thingy, I'm sure
- True or False: You would rather eat steak than pizza
hrm... false for today [I'm fasting and there was Andrew's pizza at an Open House I went to for work... mmmm!]
- Did you have a baby blanket?
I have two that were made for me by my grandma, and a couple others that I used rather frequently in my early years... all of which I still treasure dearly

my cousin Sara did, we all got to sit around the tree!
- Can you flip your eye-lids up?
*giggle* yeah!
- Are you double jointed?
I think so... I can touch my thumb to my wrist, touch my wrists over my shoulder and behind my back (maybe that one requires a visual... kinda hard to explain), and accomplish other oddities of the sort.
- If you could be any age, what age would you be?
aside from the angst and parental presence, 16 was super fun!
- Have you ever gotten gum stuck in your hair?
peanutbutter! peanutbutter I tell you!

- Have you ever fallen asleep in school?

- Would you rather be rich and unhappy, or poor and happy?
the latter

what I really want to know is: what's the right answer? would either mode of op save you?

no *hiccup*

"Crikey!" no

no cola for me, but I prefer Pepsi products

27, however I'm not as obsessed with it as mom is with 3: Last night the tv was incessantly displaying the fact that it was tuned in to channel 3. When I asked mom if we could get rid of it she refused, listing various reasons including her professed love for 3. This, of course, resulted in Canela and I both rolling our eyes and falling apart with laughter. She almost spluged her hot tea!
- If you were a car, would you be an SUV or a sports car?
I'd be a Subaru
- Have you ever accidentally taken something from a hotel?
nothing's accidental?
- Would you blow your nose at the dinner table?
depends on who is at the table with me and how sick I am
- Have you ever slipped in the bathtub?
I'm sure I have... the only specific instance I can think of was actually a hot-tub/deck environment: Monika, Sara, some others, and I were having a good ole time between the hot-tub and the trampoline... in the dead of winter. We would get all warm and fuzzy from the tub, hop out and jump around until we were numb, and then start all over again. This cycle created a nice film of ice just outside the tub. I got out, my feet immediately went out from under me, and I was on my back. Meanwhile those around me couldn't figure out where I had disappeared to... that is, until they heard me laughing at myself!
- Do you use regular or deodorant soap?
I use super-pertty soap
- Have you ever locked yourself out of the house?
I don't lock my doors... I used to do it all the time at my dad's, luckily we have an elderly neighbor lady who keeps a spare.
- Would you rather make your living as a singing cowboy or as one of the Simpsons voices?
Simpsons bad, singing good
- If you could invite any movie star to your home for dinner, who would it be?

nothing else to do on school bus trips!
- Which would you rather live with: a huge nose or crossed eyes?
Steve Martin pulled it off in Roxanne, so could I
- Would you hang out with someone your best friend didn't like?
until I had a reason of my own not to... I'm working on not taking on other people's offenses. Were it a safety issue, I would definitely take such thoughts into consideration... taking the necessary steps to proceed with caution.
- Would you hang out with someone your best friend liked, but you didn't like?
I've done it plenty of times before... I try to give everyone a chance, and at least be cordial.
- Have you ever returned a gift?
oh yeah, bless their hearts, Bobbie and Papa have had their hits and misses
- Would you give someone else a gift that had been given to you?
circumstances are always so different, I can imagine giving a gift to someone who was more interested in the item... as long as there wasn't a huge emotional attachment to the gifting.
- If you could attend an Olympic Event, what would it be?
Ohno in Short Track
- How many pairs of shoes do you own?
ack! 2 birks, 4-5 cons, my trendy slip-on tennys, 2.5 thongs, my docs, and a couple other random shoes about the house.
- If your grandmother gave you a gift that you already have, would you tell her?
if it was a loved item, I might share how much I love mine and could use the spare... or I might keep it to myself, praying to God I can return and/or exchange it somewhere.
- Do you sing in the car?
um, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
- Would you rather jump into a dumpster or into a vat of honey?
mmmm, honey! good for the skin!
