Appetizer
Do you button shirts top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top?
Usually bottom to top I think, but I've been known to vary it
Soup
What is your favorite sandwich?
My very favorite used to be this roast beef on sour dough with lettuce, tomato, and mayo until I stopped eating red meat. :P So now, I guess much the same, but substitue the roast beef with turkey and add a little mustard to the mix.
Salad
What was a family project you helped work on as a child?
Um, when we moved into our house when I was like nine I helped paint the walls. Most every room got a new coat when we moved in.
Main Course
When have you acted phony?
Hmm... that's hard, um, possibly in some situation with probably family, my mom's side, when I needed to just act a certain way. Like during my grandmother's illness and then her death. There was just so much drama going on, and so much bullshit and my aunt and uncle vying for stuff with my mom. Sometimes it was just sad how much greed of money amounts swayed my aunt and uncle at times and how catty they got over stuff. And it was like, just smile and pretend you're not offended by the whole situation.
Dessert
Do you write letters or postcards? If so, to whom?
Um, I sometimes will write a letter to my grandmother. My other grandmother, my Nana. (Dad's mom) She lives on the East Coast and doesn't do the internet thing. So old fashioned mail is the way to do it with her still. But I think she's really the only person I write and send actual things in the mail to anymore. Most people I just email.

Wednesday Mind Hump: Dress Like a Dork Day
1. What are some of the dorkiest clothes or outfits you've worn?
Um, well in elementary school and early junior high I wore leggings (it was like 1990 so...)
2. Are there any current fashion styles you think are especially dorky, or just downright embarassing?
Hmm... I don't really know what to call them, but I'd say lately it seems I've walked into Macys Juniors department looked at some of the maniquines and wondered who the hell would ever wear that, and why would someone think that looked good.
3. What would I have to give you or do for you to make you wear the DORKIEST outfit you can think of, in public, for an entire day?
Hmm... I don't know... dorky... maybe cash of a resonably high denomination, or get me like a dream job or something... *L*

Casual Curiosity
What do you think of...
the art of Pablo Picasso - cool, it's kinda strange, and interesting looking stuff
Health insurance - :P It is what it is... it sucks but if you don't have it you pay through the nose just to have the doctor listen to you cough.
the year 1937 - it's a year I sure don't remember, but remember studing... important year in the build to WWII.
Ants - Eh... kinda weird to watch, annoying if they are in your house. Better though than termites in your house. At least the Ants don't eat your house, they just invade and eat your food. *L*
Ballroom dancing - can be fun to watch in very small doses I suppose... depends on the dancers probably too, some are probably more entertaining than others.

Are you more...
Are you more...
01) One who enjoys fighting sport (boxing, martial arts, UFC, etc.) or one who thinks fighting sport is barbaric? I wouldn't say barbaric, but I'm not really into it either.
02) Someone who is intolerant of other's beliefs or someone whose beliefs are encroached by other's intolerance? I think I'm pretty tolorant, so long as my beliefs are being tolorated also.
03) Choosey about whether somebody new can be a friend or easily adding somebody new to your list of friends? I am pretty easy to add people to my list of casual friends. However to become a true, trusted, good friend takes time.
04) Thinking that flies are the greater insect irritant or thinking that mosquitos are the greater insect irritant? Mosquitos, cause at least flys don't bite you. Although flys are annoying also.
05) Able to speak with a convincing foreign accent(s) or unable to speak with a convincing foreign accent of any kind? Nope, I think once in a while I can manage a sentence that sounds resonably properly English accented. But that's about it. I'm not even good at other 'American' accents. I have a not totally horrible southern accent, but I can't do East Coast or Mid-west at all.
06) All about the peanut butter or digging the cream cheese? I like both, though not together mind you. It's a mood thing and what I'm eating thing.
07) Into pasta with tomato sauce or into pasta with cream/alfredo sauce? Again, I like both. I guess I choose tomato a little more often.
08) Amused by juvenile humour or amused by high-brow clever word-play? I like both again I think, it's kind of a what mood I'm in thing again.
09) One who knows how and when to use colons and semi-colons in written speech or one who avoids them altogether? I guess avoid. I use them, but who knows if it's properly. *L*
10) Someone who will cry in public or someone who will try to keep crying private and out of public view? I don't like crying in public, but well, sometimes it can't be stopped, I've done it plenty of times, but I don't like doing it.

Saturday 8: Creativity
1. are you good at drawing or painting?
Not really
2. have you ever, or do you currently, write poetry?
Yeah, I used to write a lot of blank verse poety, don't really do it anymore though
3. have you ever, or do you currently, write short stories?
Yes, I have and keep trying to.
4. what musical instrument(s) do you - or did you - play?
None, unfortunatly. I wish I did though.
5. creativity is apparent in many ways ... decorating, drawing/painting, voice, sculpture, screen/playwriting, etc. do you consider yourself a creative person? why or why not?
Yeah, I do. I like to write, and do photography. And put the two together and make a movie.
6. if you could be bestowed one creative and talented gift, what would it be, and why?
I guess I'd like to have less writer's block with writing. but if it's a totally untapped currently arena, then music.
7. my uncle, grandmother, and daughter are artists and can paint/draw fabulously. i'm the opposite - my stick figures are uneven! who received the artisitic talent in your family?
I think it got fairly reasonably divided. If anything I got the shorter end. But, it's still there.
8. do you think it is more important to follow your dream and live meagerly, OR do you think it is more important to live comfortably and plan for your future while you follow your dream on the side?
For me, personally, I'd probably have to be comfortable and be doing something until I got my break. But I'd like to think sometimes that I could somehow manage scraping by and just follow the dream full on.

someone getting preachy about something
Family
1] What is your family like? How would you describe them? Do you come from a large family or a small one?
My family is a little weird, but I suppose everyone's is. It's an alright family, some parts are better than others. They can be fun though, and amusing. My immediate family in my house (mom & bro) are pretty good. Immediate family is small, just one younger brother and parents. Extended family a little bigger, but not like huge. My dad is one of 6, and there's 10 living grandkids in the family.
2] What do you like most about your family? Is there anything that you dislike?
My dad's family is full of great stories and fun times. They're a good bunch. I think my dislikes revolve around just that sometimes family can be strange, you don't pick them, and sometimes people can be just fine in some ways, but other situations you really learn about their faults and find that they are faults that really get on your nerves. Like being a little superficial, or something like that.
3] What does family mean to you? How often do you get to see your family?
I love my family. My dad's side all live far away, and I only see them every few years, which I'd love to see them more. But, well, I'm bad with getting organized and figuring out how to get places. Plus it seems weird to call up and say "hey, can I come stay with you for a week at this time?"
4] If you have inlaws, do you get along well with them? Are they pretty different from your family or similar? How often do you see them?
No in-laws. At this point, I likely won't have any. But Apryl's husband Matt once referanced us as best friend in-laws. *L*
5] Do you have anyone who is like a "second family" to you? If so, who and why?
Yeah, two almost like sisters.
Apryl & Andrea- I've known them both since high school (like 11 years now). They have always been there when needed, and also just been people who I've had a lot of good times with, and worked through bad times with. I've know them a long time, and trust them, and care about them. They are both really cool people who are my closest friends. I'm the honorary aunt to Apryl's son, and Marcus (Andrea's husband) has apparently taken to referancing me as Andrea's "little sister". Which works out good on both counts. Apryl being an only child, and Andrea and I both only have brothers (me 1, her 3 *L*). So, by nature we all lack an actual sister. And now I have the next best thing times 2. :)

Autumn
1] What are your favorite autumn foods and beverages?
Well, I've always loved a few of the corner stones of Thanksgiving dinners: turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, & cranberry sauce
2] Do you have any fun things planned for this fall, such as attending an autumn festival, going apple picking, hosting a Halloween party, etc.?
I might actually get to finally attend a Halloween event for the first time in like 10 years. Which would be really cool, since Halloween is, despite never doing anything, my favorite holiday.
3] What has your autumn weather been like so far? Is fall your favorite season? What is your area's autumn weather typically like?
Well, we've had a pretty mild summer aside from a week or two. August seemed unseasonably cool this year. And thus far, fall is a touch cooler than the end of summer, but not cold. And not unseasonably cool. Long sleaves are good, but at the peak of the day t-shirts are alright, so long as you aren't out too early or late, if so, a sweatshirt will do the trick. Usually autumn starts cooling off a bit from summer, although we've had plenty of early Octobers where it still feels like summer. Fall isn't my favorite, I think summer still is, just a bit, but I like all the seasons now.
4] What will you be doing for Thanksgiving this year? Do you usually have a traditional one [turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberries], or do you eat out or fix a nontraditional menu on Thanksgiving Day?
No idea what I'll be doing for Thanksgiving. My friends and I have talked about a road trip possibly that week. But if not, then probably what happens most years, my mom or brother will make some turkey cutlets, gravy, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce, possibly a pumpkin pie.
5] Some people start Christmas shopping in October. Do you?
My family doesn't really do Christmas anymore. I will probably send out x-mas ecards like I did last year to my East Coast relatives, but no real shopping to do.

Humming Dragonfly Search
Thursday Threesome
Onesome: Humming-- Humming a little tune are we? Do you have any new musical finds to share with the group? ...or how about an oldie you wished you could find to add to your collection?
I listen to a lot of music, often a little of everything. One of my favorites I found just this year is Ingram Hill. An oldie that I like that I did manage to get in my collection is a James Taylor Greatest Hits album.
Twosome: Dragonfly-- Do you have dragonflies where you live? If so, are there any local names you've heard of for them rather than the 'western classic'?
Yes, we have dragonflies. I don't think I've heard anyone call them anything else around here other than that. My friend has dragonfly car accessories, she loves them.
Threesome: Search-- Quick! What was the last thing you searched for on the Net? (...or around the house if you've been holding back here . )
I went searching for meme questions after finding the first meme site. Which I stumbled into while looking for picture scan sites.

Intro
Just to kick it off, a normal post. All that follows will be memes or possibly quiz results and the like. This will be a fun kind of blog. There seem to be several 'day of the week' meme places, but I doubt I'll be able to keep to this this day, that that day. So I will simply post whatever meme from whereever whenever... at least for now... :P
