A Double Survey Fun Day!

In other words, I’m bored and have nothing else to blog about today.

Part 1
Darn you, Nick! I was hoping to go through my entire blogging career without getting tagged. I hate you!

“The assignment is to write a blog entry with six random facts about you. Then pick six of your friends and tag them; no tagbacks. This explanation should be included.”

1. I have trust issues. Blame my grandma (looong story). If you get me to trust you, it’s a big thing (so please don’t break it).
2. Every once and awhile I get the overwhelming urge to abandon all my plans and just live a life of no plans, no money, and no guarantees, just going where the wind blows me. You have no idea how much I long for that life on occasion.
3. I think garden noodles + shredded cheese = food of the gods.
4. I was a good long-jumper when I was younger (second, third grade). I wanted to be in the Olympics.
5. I would trade my sense of hearing for a year to be able to smell for five minutes.
6. I brood over everything for way too long, both the good things and the bad things. Heck, things from last April are still very fresh in my mind. Thus, I never really form my true opinions about things until about a month or two after the fact. So if you’re in an in-the-moment situation with me, don’t trust my initial reaction to be a reflection of my true opinion. Just FYI.

Haha, okay. I’ll tag six of you, but you really don’t have to if you don’t want to. It was actually kind of fun, though.
1. Aneel (haha!)
2. Matt
3. Maggie
4. Shannyn!
5. E’raina
6. Whoever first reads this blog and is not on this list (these are my subscribers; I don’t know who else reads this thing)

Part 2
PUT YOUR TOP 8 IN THE ORDER THEY’VE BEEN PLACED
1. Matt
2. Nick
3. Maggie
4. Shannyn
5. Aneel
6. Amy
7. E’raina
8. Paula

HOW DID YOU MEET EACH PERSON?
1. Marching band!
2. At the U of I Bookstore when we were both getting our books for Spring ’07.
3. Marching band!
4. You know, I don’t remember. How sad is that?!
5. Preschool, technically. But we didn’t start hanging out until that one Art Camp. Ha! That was fun.
6. First grade? Remember Coos?
7. Eighth grade, I believe. Thanks for being bold!
8. First grade again, I believe. What I remember most about you though was you being sick all the time in second grade, haha.

DO YOU LOVE NUMBER 2?
In a strictly platonic way, yes.

WHEN IS 6’S BIRTHDAY?
November! She’s a sexy Scorpio!

WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO 3?
Wife.

DO YOU LIKE WHAT 6 LOOKS LIKE?
HECK YES! Amy could be a super model, seriously.

WOULD YOU DATE NUMBER 1?
I have!

ON A SCALE OF 1-10 HOW MUCH DO YOU LIKE 4?
A 1. I dislike her immensely.
No seriously, you’re a 10, Shannyn, an absolute 10!

DOES 1 MAKE YOU SMILE?
He does. Matt’s awesome.

ARE YOU RELATED TO 5?
We’re married, does that count?

LAST TIME YOU SAW 1?
At about 6:00 tonight, walking back from the game.

HAS 8 EVER HURT YOU?
Nope!

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT NUMBER 2?
God, the fact that he’s freaking awesome. Philosophy major = win. Witty = win. Puts up with me = big win.

ARE YOU IN ANY OF THEIR TOP FRIENDS?
I think I’m in all of their top friends, actually. Sweet!

WHAT IS 2’s FAVORITE COLOR?
Blue.

DOES 4 HAVE ANY SIBLINGS?
His brother, haha, his brother!

DOES 7 HAVE ANY CLASSES WITH YOU?
No, it’s sad. But we occasionally see each other on Wednesday before her class and my psych lab.

WHY IS NUMBER 1 IN SPOT ONE?
Because he’s the nicest person I know, and because he’s himself. Rock on!

DOES 4 MAKE YOU LAUGH?
Her sarcasm is hilarious.

WHY ARE YOU FRIENDS WITH NUMBER 7?
Good question! Ha, I’m joking, E’raina. Really, she’s a great friend and is funny in her own way.

HAVE YOU EVER HUGGED 3?
Of course! We’re married, after all.

EVER KISS 8?
Nope.

IS 6 A GOOD FRIEND?
A very good friend.

HAVE YOU EVER HOOKED UP WITH 2?
Ahahaha! I think if Nick and I ever hooked up the world would implode. People as similar as we are to each other should probably not date.

WHAT IS 6’s FAVORITE SPORT?
Football? I have no idea.

DO YOU THINK 3 WOULD EVER DATE YOU?
We’re married already! No need for dating!

WHATS 5’s BEST TRAIT?
His incredible writing ability.

DOES 7 DRIVE?
Not the last time I checked, I do believe.

WOULD YOU DATE 3 & 4 AT THE SAME TIME?
Well, I’m married to both of them…they should meet! Holy crap!

COULD YOU SEE YOURSELF WITH 8?
I think she’s one of the few on this list I’m not married to.

WHERE DOES 7 LIVE?
In an apartment with number 5.

BEST MEMORY OF 4
Oh! Oh! The Coeur d’Alene trip, the Coeur d’Alene trip!

WHAT IS THE WORST THING 5 HAS DONE TO YOU?
Let his brother get away with tearing up the beautiful Valentine’s Day card I gave him.

WHAT ARE 5’s HOBBIES?
Cars, drinking, writing incredibly A+-receiving stories for 11^th grade English, and being and all-around Aneel.

IF YOU WERE STUCK ON AN ISLAND, WHO WOULD YOU BRING?
The one that would probably be practical enough to attempt some sort of shot at survival/rescue: Matt or Shannyn
The one who would be the best to die with due to lack of effort to do anything regarding survival/rescue: Nick

DO YOU ACTUALLY LIKE THESE PEOPLE?
Nah.
