The phone rings; who do you want it to be?<br \/>\n<i>Nobody. It&#8217;s too late for a phone call to be anything good.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>2. When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart?<br \/>\n<i>I rarely use a cart as I can fit a week&#8217;s worth of groceries in my two homemade canvas shopping bags&#8211;but when I use a cart I return it (and the half dozen carts loitering about the parking lot.)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>3. In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener?<br \/>\n<i>Probably a talker<\/i><\/p>\n<p>4. Do you take compliments well?<br \/>\n<i>I&#8217;d like to think so :-)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>5. Do you play Sudoku?<br \/>\n<i>Back in the day.  Haven&#8217;t for a year or so.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>6. If abandoned alone in the wilderness, would you survive?<br \/>\n<i>Of course.  I am a survivor.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>7. Do you like to ride horses?<br \/>\n<i>I&#8217;ve only ever ridden the kind of horses they have at Mahoney State Park&#8211;couldn&#8217;t say whether I like to or not. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>8. Did you ever go to camp as a kid?<br \/>\n<i>Missionette camp for a couple of years.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>9. What was your favorite game as a kid?<br \/>\n<i>Indians.  &#8220;Circuit races&#8221;.  Making hay while the sun shines.  Tornado. I was an odd child.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>10. If a sexy person was pursuing you, but you knew he\/she was married, would you go for it?<br \/>\n<i>I&#8217;d flee.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>11. Have you lied to get out of a date?<br \/>\n<i>Yes.  Or at least, I acted like the ring on my finger meant I was taken.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>12. Could you date someone with different religious beliefs than you?<br \/>\n<i>No way.  Number one item on the list is that he be a believer growing in Christ.  &#8220;Do not be unequally yoked&#8230;for what fellowship does light have with darkness?&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>13. Do you like to pursue or be pursued?<br \/>\n<i>To be pursued.  I&#8217;m a woman.  It&#8217;s how God made us.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>14. Use three words to describe yourself<br \/>\n<i>Passionate. Opinionated. Feminine.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>15. Do any songs make you cry?<br \/>\n<i>Yes, that one that&#8217;s intentionally designed to wring tears from families with kids in the military.  &#8220;Word of God Speak&#8221; by Mercy Me.  &#8220;In the Garden&#8221;.  The national anthem. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>16. Are you continuing your education?<br \/>\n<i>Currently continuing.  Not sure how much longer.  (Do I want a Ph.D?)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>17. Do you know how to shoot a gun?<br \/>\n<i>Nope.  Although I&#8217;ve had a few people offer to take me shooting.  I&#8217;ll have to think about whether I want to take them up on that.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>18. If your house was on fire, what would be the first thing you grabbed?<br \/>\n<i>My roommate<\/i><\/p>\n<p>19. How often do you read books?<br \/>\n<i>Every day&#8211;often several times a day.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>20. Do you think more about the past, present or future?<br \/>\n<i>All three.  It varies by the day.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>21. What is your favorite children&#8217;s book?<br \/>\n<i>Toot and Puddle<\/i><\/p>\n<p>22. What color are your eyes?<br \/>\n<i>Blue, just like my sisters.  (And my daddy.  And three of my brothers.)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>23. How tall are you?<br \/>\n<i>Very tall.  My dad says I&#8217;m an intimidating woman.  I think it&#8217;s less because of my height and more because the stilletos can exert a good deal of force on a foot or a face.  (5&#8217;9&#8243; or 5&#8217;10 in stocking feet.)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>24. Where is your dream house located?<br \/>\n<i>I no longer know.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>25. Do you have a secret fetish?<br \/>\n<i>I don&#8217;t think so.  I don&#8217;t have many secrets.  Or many fetishes.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>26. Have you tried sushi?<br \/>\n<i>Yes.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>27. Have you ever taken pictures in a photo booth?<br \/>\n<i>No.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>28. When was the last time you were at Olive Garden?<br \/>\n<i>A coupla weeks ago (same time as Grace)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>29. When was the last time you were at Church?<br \/>\n<i>This morning<\/i><\/p>\n<p>30. Where was the furthest place you traveled today?<br \/>\n<i>To church<\/i><\/p>\n<p>31. What was your favorite job?<br \/>\n<i>Interning at the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department&#8211;running the 5-4-3-2-1-Go! program.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>32. Do you like mustard?<br \/>\n<i>Yes-especially Best Choice (store brand) honey mustard.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>33. Do you prefer to sleep or eat?<br \/>\n<i>I like both&#8211;but eating is more enjoyable.  I tend to not be very conscious while I&#8217;m sleeping.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>34. Do you look like your mom or dad?<br \/>\n<i>I have my mom&#8217;s hair and nose, my dad&#8217;s eyes and oval face.  I probably resemble my dad more than my mom&#8211;but it&#8217;s a close call.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>35. How long does it take you in the shower?<br \/>\n<i>If I&#8217;m showering, it&#8217;s generally &#8217;cause I&#8217;m in a REAL hurry&#8211;so 5 minutes tops.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>36. Can you do the splits?<br \/>\n<i>Uh-uh.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>37. What movie do you want to see right now?<br \/>\n<i>Do I want to see a movie right now?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>38. If you could fast forward your life, would you?<br \/>\n<i>I&#8217;d be tempted to fast forward to the end of school&#8211;but I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;d be wise. God plans the days of my life for a reason.  I&#8217;d rather not skip His purposes in any of them.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>39. What did you do for New Year&#8217;s?<br \/>\n<i>Hung out at Anna&#8217;s<\/i><\/p>\n<p>40. Do you think The Grudge was scary?<br \/>\n<i>THE Grudge?  What grudge?  Most grudges are scary.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>41. Could you relate to a character in Mean Girls?<br \/>\n<i>Never seen it. Heard about it.  I hope I&#8217;m not anything like those girls.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>42.

Was your mom a cheerleader?<br \/>\n<i>No.  More like Salutatorian (right?), newspaper, choir, volleyball&#8230; It was a small school and Mom was smart.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>45. What&#8217;s the last letter of your middle name?<br \/>\n<i>E<\/i><\/p>\n<p>46. Do you like your middle name?<br \/>\n<i>I do.  It means &#8220;myrh&#8221;  (or bitter)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>47. How many hours of sleep do you get a night?<br \/>\n<i>The $64,000 question.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>48. Do you like care bears?<br \/>\n<i>I&#8217;ve never really had an opinion regarding Care Bears.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>49. What do you buy at the movies?<br \/>\n<i>Nothing. I don&#8217;t go to movies.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>50. Do you know how to play poker?<br \/>\n<i>I have officially learned how to play Texas Hold&#8217;em.  Which doesn&#8217;t mean that I could actually play it.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>51. Do you wear your seatbelt?<br \/>\n<i>Every time I&#8217;m in a vehicle.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>52. What do you wear to sleep?<br \/>\n<i>These days, sweatpants and a t-shirt and full socks.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>53. Anything big ever happen in your hometown?<br \/>\n<i>Husker football, and baseball, and volleyball. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>54. How many meals do you eat a day?<br \/>\n<i>Three, generally.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>55. Is your tongue pierced?<br \/>\n<i>Negative.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>56. Ever meet anyone you met on myspace?<br \/>\n<i>Never met anyone on myspace.  Not on myspace.  Think myspace is of the devil.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>57. Do you read myspace bulletins?<br \/>\n<i>See above.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>58. Do you like funny or serious people better?<br \/>\n<i>I think I&#8217;ve heard this question before.  Didn&#8217;t know how to answer it the last time either.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>59. Ever been to L.A.?<br \/>\n<i>Nope<\/i><\/p>\n<p>60. Did you eat a cookie today?<br \/>\n<i>No&#8230;no, I didn&#8217;t.  Bummer.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>61. Do you use cuss words in other languages?<br \/>\n<i>If I do, it&#8217;s entirely accidental.  I do occasionally yell jibberish when I first wake up.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>62. Do you steal or pay for your music downloads?<br \/>\n<i>Only download legally.  Was convicted about this five or six years ago and wiped my entire collection.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>63. Do you hate chocolate?<br \/>\n<i>As if.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>64. What do you and your parents fight about the most?<br \/>\n<i>Dad and I: predestination, John Piper<br \/>\nMom and I: science fiction :-P<\/i><\/p>\n<p>65. Are you a gullible person?<br \/>\n<i>I suspect so, but am unsure.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>66. Do you need a boyfriend\/girlfriend to be happy?<br \/>\n<i>Perfect joy is found in Christ and Christ alone.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>67. If you could have any job what would it be?<br \/>\n<i>Mmm.  There are lots I&#8217;d like&#8211;wife, mother, director of a church-based community center, community-based dietitian, lactation consultant, the list goes on and on.  But, for now, I&#8217;ll be content with wherever God leads me.  Because what He chooses for me is ultimately the best choice.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>68. Are you easy to get along with?<br \/>\n<i>Depends on whether you are.  (B&#8217;I&#8217;on know.  Whatcha askin&#8217; me for?)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>69.
