Mix Tape
This is sort of a follow-up from the five-question meme I took part in a few days ago. As I said before, I liked it because it was interactive and it was a way for we bloggers to cross-pollenate each others blogs. I was shocked that as many as nine fellow bloggers took part in the Q&A. That meant I had to come up with 45 questions! If you knew how hard it was to come up with with my 100 things list, doing only 50 things at at time, you would know what a challenge this was. But I managed to do it.
So, in an effort to get you all to expand the boundaries of your blog reading, below is a favorite answer from each of them with a link to their sites so that you can read the rest. Maybe you will find some other stuff to interest you and discover a new regular read.
In the shower, what do you soap up first?
The area just below my belly button to the right side just where the “V” starts on my lower torso. Then I work my way down and around. Then I work my way back up to the chest, arms, shoulders, and back. I do my face last, then shampoo and I am done after I stand there a good 10 more minutes and just enjoy the heat of the hot shower over my head and neck.
If you had a super-power, what would it be?
Tough one. This actually makes me want to write a post about whether I would use my powers for heroic purposes or if I would become a villian, but that isn’t the answer to this question. If I had psionic powers like telepathy I would absolutely abuse the power. One superhero I always thought looked cool was Colossus. The idea of a big metal man makes me grin
One power I would love to have is the ability to make people’s heads explode from long distances. That would be cool! “One Man, one woman.” BOOOOOM!!
What is the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you in grade school?
That’s easy. Fifth grade, I had Miss Hanchey as my teacher. On the outside she was a mean spiteful wench. On the inside, she was a sweet old lady who loved kids. So one day after grammar studdies, I’m goofing off (I was a holy terror in grade school) leaning way back in my chair, holding myself upright by my feet under my desk. I inadvertently farted and it was a loud one. Not only that but the chair seat was plastic so it reverberated even louder. The whole room burst out laughing. I was so startled I lost my footing and fell straight back. Two whammies for the price of one!
I know you love your partner dearly, but what is the one annoying habit he has that you simply can’t ignore?
I only get to pick one?
Seriously though, I would have to say it’s his tendency to always be having something to do all the time. If he’s not working he’s mowing the lawn, doing work around the house, tinkering with the car, tending the garden, or planning the next “project”. He never stops.
He’s an ant, and I’m a grasshopper.
What is the greatest weapon in your arsenal to attract men?
Is it my bubble butt? Some men are attracted to bubble butts and look no further, but that is not my greatest asset. Is it my bulging basket? It is sad but true that some men are attracted a large package and only care for for an experience that will keep them dreaming for years. but that is not my greatest weapon. THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION is my smile and the twinkle in my eyes that say … If you choose me, you will have the time of your life…
If you were a cartoon character, would you rather date Ziggy or Dilbert?
Dilbert. 1. He is humorous and I like humor because it’s funny. 2. He seems like he could hold down a job — Ziggy is a user. and 3. He has a constant erection. Okay, it’s his necktie, but he is a cartoon character after all.
Still waitin on Scott-o-Rama, Dave, and Jay to finish theirs. I’ll link them, too, as soon as they get a chance to.

JAY’s answers are in.
What song title best describes who you are/your life? Since I’m self-discovering these days, it’s hard to say. Right now I like Vanessa Carlton’s “Ordinary Day” for my Mary Kay career (God using ordinary people to do extraordinary things, because successful people are only ordinary people with extraordinary determination) and Jill Scott’s “Golden” for my personal life. How’d you know to ask that question? I love music.
UPDATE: August 6, 2005
SCOTT-O-RAMA has posted his answers at his site.
If you could be the age you are now in a different time period, which would it be?
History fascinates me. There are lots of different periods I would love to visit. The problem is that we all tend to romanticize the past and we forget how tough life really was in those times. Your quality of life depended highly on your social and monetary status. I also think I would miss many of my modern conveniences. The mere fact that deodorant and daily showers were not available through most of history gives me qualms. Assuming I could be guaranteed enough money and/or social status to have a pleasant life, I would love to visit ancient Greece or the late 1800’s.
UPDATE: August 9, 2005
We finish up with DAVE.
Who is your celebrity crush? I love Chris Maloni from Law and Order SVU. The first time I saw him on Law and Order, he was in a scene where he was in his bekini underware. I was hooked from that point on…. I can only wish one day he wakes up and realizes he wants to be with me.

Grasshopper - soap. Sorry I drifted for a second think what being a bar of grasshopper soap would be like. Twinkle eyes, grasshopper soap.
