Unfortunately, I am not feeling particularly inspired to write about any particular topic this evening but I do find myself with some spare time and have found that I am rather bored. It has been a while since I answered a series of questions (the answers to which I am sure you are all curious to know) so I figured I could find some random questions to answer.
What is your favorite article of clothing?
Well... I had a wonderful stint with scarves (of which I still wear plenty) but lately I have had a great affinity for my beanies. You know the ones with the cute little pompom on top? They are great for the days when my short hair does not quite want to cooperate with me.
What is your favorite childhood memory?
This is always a hard question because my childhood was quite good in my opinion. I suppose any memory spent with my siblings was good (as well as my parents but when it is your siblings you tend to use your imagination a lot more, at least in my experience). I really loved the times with my older brother where we would spend hours in the summer outside, discovering pumpkin spiders in our bushes and being Power Rangers.
What is the scariest moment of your life?
Interesting phrasing... "is" seems to imply the scariest moment that will ever happen not that has so this is how I answer it: the scariest moment thus far was quite a few years ago shortly after the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping. My family and I were visiting Utah and lost track of my younger sister. We scoured the neighborhood with our friends in a panic until we found my dad had taken her with him to the store...
What is the one word that would best describe you?
Original. I am me and have never tried to be someone else. Even if that means I am a bit audacious, bold, or emotional or even crazy at times.
If your friends and acquaintances were willing to bluntly tell you what they really think of you, would you want them to? Why or why not?
Yes. I am always looking to become a better person and fulfill my potential. That means I sometimes have to go looking for my weaknesses and I know that there are some things that I do that I do not realize bother people and it would be most helpful if they would tell me plainly (yes it might hurt a little now but is not that better than hurting me a lot later by not helping me fix something that needs attention now to stop it from being worse later on?).
What is your favorite month in the summer?
Well, as much as I love the 4th of July, I really love August. This being because I am not exactly a fan of the summer heat and so with August hitting I know that summer is soon shifting into autumn, my favorite season but there are still a few warm days left
Would you choose a water balloon or a super soaker?
Well, I would want what everyone else was equipped with but if we were to be deciding upon the rules to begin with I would say water balloon. Classic. And it takes true skill to hit someone with a water balloon and even better ninja skills to have a balloon thrown at you but catch it intact and turn it on the owner.
What is your favorite number?
For the longest time it was 4 seeing as it was my soccer number through my elementary days but when I hit high school I used 16 for both soccer and volleyball. Best volleyball season I have ever had.
What is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to you?
Hard question. But my answer is one word, "Yes." It applies to many moments in my life where someone has been willing to give me a hand or even just give me a chance to serve them and be their friend.
What is your favorite Disney movie?
I abhor this question. It is very much akin to asking a mother who her favorite child is. I feel the same way about books. But I will tell you one of my favorites this time around although it might not be my utmost favorite. Pocahontas. Not just the first one but the second one as well. Why? Well, in the first one, there is John Smith-- he was her first love. The first guy (at least that we know of) that she ever "dated" per say. At the end, they say a tearful goodbye, still loving one another but saying goodbye in the best interests of both parties. In the second movie, we find that she still cares deeply about John Smith and by the end of the movie they part as good friends because Pocahontas has found a love more profound in John Rolfe and one that will last because it is healthy for both parties.
I simply love the idea of being able to fall in love not once but twice and that there is not just one soul mate because, in the world of Disney, I am sure Pocahontas and Smith could have lived quite happily ever after. But they learned what they could from one another and moved on to live their separate lives in peace with themselves and one another.
I love it. It is a rather hope inspiring movie in my opinion.
Well that is it for this installment. It is time to hit the showers then my pillows.
