Sunday Stealing: The 2 For 1 Meme

This meme brought to you by:


NOTE: There appeared to be some words missing from some of the questions so I filled in the blanks (in green) with what I thought should have been there.

1. What is on the walls of your room?

I have to assume that they mean bedroom. Well I took everything down when the realtor came through but I did have Night Watcher by Joseph Vargo over my bed (below). Love his work! Then I had a 3D Halloween scene in a black picture frame on the opposite wall.


2. What type of music do you listen to?

Anything but country and jazz.

3. What do you want more than anything right now?

Someone to buy my home!

4. Do you get scared in the dark?

Heck no. I am the goddess Nyx, you know.

5. What's your worst fear?

Ooh I know. Being shot with a drug that makes you paralyzed everywhere except for your eyes. You are completely aware of everything that's going on and can't do shit about it.

6. If you could do anything right now, what would it be?

I'd go someplace warm and swim under the full moon.

7. What’s the most meaningful gift that you’ve received?

I was living up north years ago when I was just a young pup (18). I was in an abusive relationship and working at a bakery. It was a small town so everyone knew everyone's business. One of my regular customers gave me a book for my birthday and wrote a note in the front of it. It said this:

"You are a very special young woman. Out of all bad comes good and growth. Know you are cared about and in my thoughts."

I received that book exactly 10 years ago today.

8. Do you have a crush?

Nope.

9. Who is your favorite celebrity?

Tim Burton - for his creativity and his mind.

10. Could you fall in love with someone that you know must leave?

I have before.

11. Share a favorite quote of yours.

I have so many! Here's one:

"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."

- Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

12. What’s your weakness?

Every day I say I'm going to do certain things and every night I say that I'll do them tomorrow. When other people rely on me to do something, I'll have it done before you can blink an eye but when I'm the only one affected, I put it off.

13. Do you believe that we all have a soul mate?

I'd like to think so but if that's true, then some people never find theirs.

14. What were you doing before Sunday Stealing?

Watching Stargate Atlantis. There's a link to the show's page on the right side of my blog.

15. What do you get complicated about the most?

I'm guessing this meant conflicted? My answer would be family. Sometimes I'll have a good time with them and good conversations and I'll think that everything is okay and then the next time I see them, they're completely different people and I don't want to have anything to do with them.

16. What turns you off the most from a potential partner?

I have a few things that are pretty high up there. Can't say one turns me off more than another. I don't like men who brag about themselves though. There's a fine line between having good self-esteem and having a giant ego.

17. What is your worst habit?

See answer to #12.

18. When was the last time that you were jealous?

I haven't been truly jealous in many years. I get little faux fits of jealousy when someone talks about something they have that I would like but can't get.

19. Have you ever had a “friend with benefits”?

These questions are kinda' personal! The answer is yes.

20. Do you use sarcasm?

No way! See, I just did right there. : )

21. At the moment, what’s your favorite song?

I don't really do favorites but lately I've been listening to a remix of More Human Than Human by White Zombie. Kick ass song! I went to YouTube to see if I could find it and lo and behold I found part of the song set to The Covenant screenclips. Even better! Great movie, by the way.



22. What is your favorite day of the year?

Halloween!

23. Describe your love life.

Complicated. Yep, that about sums it up.

24. When was your last one night stand?

Seriously? Geesh my personal space is being invaded. Awhile ago.

25. How many past lovers are too many?

If you don't know the number, then that's too many.

Sunday Stealing: The Twenty Firsts Meme

This meme brought to you by:


First Job: The first paid gig I had was babysitting. The first job where I got taxes taken out was when I worked for a greenhouse.

First Real Job: I guess the first real job would be the one where you got health benefits and what-not so that'd have to be when I started working at a bank.

First Favorite Politician: I really don't like politics because of all the negativity but I did start paying attention to them when Bush was on his way out the door and Obama was coming in so I guess my first favorite politician is Obama.

First Car: A burgundy Bonneville that required frequent stops so that I could put water and antifreeze in to stop it from overheating and you had to literally kick the gas pedal if the car hadn't been run in a couple hours cuz' it would stick. Lovely! I've had new cars ever since then.

First Record/CD: For some reason, I really didn't want to move on from tapes to CD's so the first CD I ever got was Nimrod by Green Day.

First Sport Played: basketball

First Concert: MXPX I was pretty much in love with their stuff and they played locally a lot. Go punk rawk!



First Foreign Country Visited: I've never visited a foreign country. Someday though.

First Favorite TV Show: MacGyver I was so in love with Richard Dean Anderson. Still kinda' am. : ) I swear that man knows the secret to the fountain of youth.

First Favorite Actor: See above.

First Favorite Actress: I don't remember really being impressed with a female actress until recently. I'd have to go with a tie between Amanda Tapping and Rachel Luttrell from the Stargate series.

First Girlfriend/Boyfriend: The first "real" one was Fred.

First Encounter with a Famous Person: I've never met a celebrity but I met one of our news people one time. Does that count?

First Brush With Death: Probably the accident that happened when a guy ran a red light and hit the side of my car. My car got spun around a couple times and I ended up facing the wrong way on the street.

First House/Condo Owned: The one I live in now. Bought it a year ago.

First Film Seen: An American Tail is the first one I remember.

First Favorite Recording Artist: TLC

First Meme You Answered on Your Blog: Sunday Stealing!

Job update and family stuff.

I've talked before about trying to find a job in this tough economy. It appears there may be a breakthrough! I got a call last Tuesday from a bank I had applied at a couple weeks ago. They set up a phone interview for Wednesday. During the interview I deviated from a couple of the questions a bit and felt like I was rambling but apparently I did okay because they set up a face to face interview for this morning.

It took me about 45 minutes to get there and when I showed up there were a few big buildings with multiple entrances. I finally found the right area to be, went in and told the guard who I was there to see and then proceeded to wait nervously in the lobby while appearing to be calm, cool and collected. : ) I interviewed with two guys and they did not ask the questions I thought they would. In fact, they asked one question that I've never been asked in an interview. The question was, "Have you ever gone out of your way to help a stranger?" I told them some things I did and then they asked why I did those things. I said that I did them because I would want someone to do that for me. Treat others as you want to be treated yourself. One interviewer looked at the other one and asked if he heard what I said. He said he did and that he was writing it down. Guess that was a good thing? At the end of the interview, I saw one of the guys write "Key" at the top of his note pages. I'm hoping that means that I'm a key contender? Now I'm playing the waiting game and hoping I hear something soon.

I've been meaning to call my grandparents on my dad's side for awhile now. I found out in February that they were getting divorced. They've been married for over 50 years! I knew that their divorce would be final by May 1st and I wanted to see the two of them together at their house before all of this was final. My Grandma called me Friday night from a new number and said that she had already moved out. She invited me over for Sunday dinner yesterday so I went. After we ate, she asked if I wanted to see Grandpa. I did, of course, so she told me to call him and ask him if it was okay that we came by. He didn't mind so her and I went over.
