Thursday Thunks

1. You are walking down the road and you look down. There is a bug. Do you step on it?

No. i figure i'm walking down the road for a reason, so i'd rather just keep walking than to bother with a bug.

2. What is one fantasy that you want to come true more than any other?

Spending the rest of my life with A, belonging to Him, being His most precious possession, serving Him with all of my being.

3. Someone knocks on your door. Do you look out the window to see who it is before you open it? Do you open it regardless of who it is?

i always check to see who it is first. Sometimes i don't know the person, but as long as they look harmless, i go ahead and open it. Maybe i need to rethink that and ask what they want first, but even then, you never know. When i lived in the big city, i kept a weapon on top of a picture frame by the front door, but i have never thought to do that since i've been living in the middle of nowhere. Maybe it's more important to do that here. The weapon i used to have on standby? A rotary cutter used for cutting fabric. Those things are fierce and don't look like a weapon until you've done some heavy-duty slashing on your attacker (or at least that's always been my hope). i also used to carry one in my purse when i had to walk to my car after working until 2 in the morning. Again, that was in the big city, but thankfully i never had to use it and get some creep's blood all over me.

4. Have you ever eaten Play Doh?

As a child i touched my tongue to it and discovered it was extremely salty and icky, so i never tried to eat it.

5. What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon as a child and why?

Roadrunner. i liked to see the different ways Wile E. Coyote's plans would backfire on him.

6. Are you a "people watcher"?

Yes, whenever i need to sit down for a while at a place like Disneyland or a mall, i enjoy watching all the people walking by. But i only bother with that if i need to sit down; otherwise i'd rather just get the shopping done or go on to the next attraction.

7. I have a bowl of fruit. There are apples, oranges & pears. You help yourself to one - which one do you choose?

The orange, hands down. i love citrus fruit.

8. What is your biggest pet peeve in the blogging world?

i don't really have any that i can think of. It is the individuality of blogs that i enjoy, so if someone does something different or strange, that just makes it interesting. i just wish i had more time to read the ones i enjoy reading.

9. What is one religion that you could just never see yourself joining?

That's an easy one--Islam.

10. What word do you use far too often?

It's not a word, but a phrase--"you know". If i pay attention i can stop saying it, but if i'm excited and in a hurry to tell something, it will creep back in.

11. How long do you spend in the shower?

i believe it takes me at least half an hour. my hair is really long, so it takes a while to do all the shampooing and conditioning.

12. If you were to write a personal ad about yourself, what would it say?

Submissive woman, 50, interested in meeting masculine, dominant, masterful man for BDSM long-term relationship/marriage. Needs to be Torah-obedient or at least know Torah well enough to maintain those limits for me.

13. Your favorite flavor of soup is....?

Chicken.

14. You are sitting on a bench in the park and a bug walks in front of your feet.... do you squash him?

As long as he doesn't bother me, i won't bother him.
