Jillposted this on her blog the other day. Generally I don't do memes but this one seemed fun. It also serves a purpose - I am away for the next week and this is a good thing to prepare in advance.
The version that Jill received was missing # 15 and # 44. Through the wonders of google I was able to find the missing questions (my God, I think I have fully crossed the line to geek-hood - shush Sandi, I was NOT there prior to this!)
1. Do you like blue cheese? Dear God, YES! Doesn't everyone?
2. Have you ever smoked a cigarette? Yup. Terry Green and I used to skip school and smoke them in grade 5. Then there was the stairwell gang in high school. Hmmm - bars in university . . .
3. Do you own a gun? Not even a squirt gun. This is Canada . . . what would I do with a gun?
4. What flavor do you add to your drink at Sonic? What's Sonic?
5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? No. I haven't been to the doctor since 1995. What's to be nervous about . . . ignorance is a splendid thing.
6. Do you like hot-dogs? The two I knocked back yesterday for lunch were quite tasty.
7. Favorite Christmas Song? Rudolph
8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? A HUGE dark roast coffee.
9. Can you do push-ups? I dropped gym and took art in high school. Does that answer it for you?
10. What’s your favorite meal? Anything made by Paul.
11. What’s your favorite piece of jewelry? The sterling silver bracelet I bought at the Sante Fe Indian market when I was there back in 1992. I have practically worn it every day since then.
12. Favorite hobby? cooking
13. Do you work with people who idolize you? Dear lord know - the opposite likely.
14. Name a trait that you hate about yourself? I have no self-control around food.
16. Middle name? William

18. Name 3 things you bought yesterday: Sparkling wine, potatoes, wild blueberries.
19. Name 3 drinks you regularly drink? Rum and diet coke, coffee, red wine.
20. Current worry right now? Will this damn thing never end?
21. Current hate right now? Politicians who care more about being elected/re-elected than actually governing.
22. Favorite place to be? Sitting in the back garden with Paul enjoying a drink.
23. How did you bring in New Years? Ate too much, drank too much, mocked the heck out of Ryan Seacrest.
24. Favorite place to go? Somewhere on the shore. I'm not picky, I just love being on the water's edge.

46. What is your favorite candy? Anything with really, really good chocolate.
47. What is your favorite sports team? Sports? Re-read my answer to # 9, that covers it nicely I think.
48. What song do you want played at your funeral? What funeral? Is this because I haven't been to the doctor since 1995?
49. What were you doing at 12 AM last night? Snoring.
50. What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up this morning? Will this rain ever stop?

Who'da thunk it? You are not a geek?
Hmmmmmm~

Jerry I'm just catching up now and this was really funny! You always make me smile.
Posted by: Barb Cabot | August 14, 2008 at 05:45 PM
This was really fun to read!
And....(shhhhh) I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who doesn't go to the doctor. It drives my mother crazy, but I just don't want to go, so I don't. :)

Katie - it makes for a relatively painless blog post *smile*
I'm glad you had your smile Barb! LOL
Annie - it is nice to know that I'm not alone in this.

This was great Jerry - we actually have much in common. I too broke my collar bone rolling out of bed at age 4 - oh how much time my parents would spend in jail if they were raising me today. :) Oh, and same with the coffee, and other things but I do like sports. May have to steal this.

Kim - I suspect that that is why I am fat and you are svelte!
Posted by: Jerry | August 16, 2008 at 06:14 PM
Oh, Jerry, I like watching sports - not participating. :D
Posted by: Kim | August 17, 2008 at 08:16 AM
Well, then there is hope for you after all Kim!
