Warning: This post is very, very long.
I had planned on doing the Friday Fill-In’s but when I went to load the page I discovered that The Princess had used all the internet credit we had. I can’t even tell you how pissed off I was. I’d only bought it the week before and she’d managed, in one night with her friend, to use just under 2gig. I didn’t anymore credit until Sunday and the kids had homework so this is the first opportunity I’ve had to get on the computer myself.
I was just looking around at different meme’s that are out there and while I’d been to Sunday Stealing before, I’d never stopped there very long. This time I decided to have a proper look. I haven’t read all the questions that are listed, but the few I did read, I thought were interesting, so I decided to have a go at it myself. Given that this meme is in two parts, I thought I’d do both in one hit. It doesn’t seem right to do only half the job.
So grab a drink and maybe even a back-up drink and something to nibble on and read through my madness…
Part 1
1. Have you ever licked the back of a CD to try to get it to work?
Nope, can’t say that I have. I’ve breathed on it heavily though. 
2. What’s the largest age difference between yourself and someone you’ve dated?
Hmm…I think it would be about 5 or 6 years.
3. Ever been in a car wreck?
Only a small one when I was around 7 or 8 years old. It was just one of those one’s where someone stops suddenly and everyone behind them is driving too close so they all bang into each other.
4. Were you popular in high school?
Stupidly enough, I’ve wondered about this a few times over the years. I would have said yes at one stage but now, I’m not so sure. I’m not sure what it is that defines being popular in high school.
5. Have you ever been on a blind date?
Nope, never.
6. Are looks important?
To a degree, yes. It’s not necessarily right, or fair, but the fact is if you don’t find someone physically attractive, even in a small way then your not going to be interested in getting to know them better in a romantic way. If your talking about people in general, people who are just friends, or potential friends, then nope, doesn’t matter in the slightest. I had a friend, many years ago, who was incredibly overweight. I had a few people, included The Husband, ask me why on earth I’d want to be friends with someone who was so fat. I don’t understand that point of view. If they are a nice person, if you have things in common, your moral and/or ethical views are similar, why should it matter if they are big or small, have pimples or don’t, are black or white?
7. Do you have any friends that you’ve known for 10 years or more?
Yes, just the one and would only just be over 10 years that I’ve known her. She’s my neighbour and is twice my age, she drives me up the wall at times, her foster daughter just makes me angry more often than not but she’s probably the closest friend I have who isn’t a relative and who I can physically go and visit.
8. By what age would you like to be married?
LOL…I was married for 14 years. Technically I’m still married. I didn’t have any age picked out when I was younger though. I don’t think I thought a great deal about getting married. I think I just liked the idea of getting to get all dressed up.
9. Does the number of people a person’s slept with affect your view of them?
No, I don’t think so, not in general.
10. Have you ever made a mistake?
No, I’m bloody perfect. Seriously, what sort of question is that? Is there anyone alive that hasn’t made a mistake?
11. Are you a good tipper?
Nope. We don’t tip here. They might do in other states, or maybe people of a higher income bracket, who dine in more expensive venues do, but in general, in my state, we don’t tip.
12. What’s the most you have spent for a haircut?
Around $150AUD. That was to get it cut, coloured and highlights done. My hair was very long at the time too, just above my bum when it was straight. We knew the hairdresser and I think she gave it to me cheaper, so I’d hate to think what it would have cost otherwise. I looked into having my hair chemically straightened and that would cost around $500AUD to get done.
13. Have you ever had a crush on a teacher?
Yeah, I think so. He wasn’t particularly good looking, he was just different. We called him by his first name and he dressed much more casually than the other teachers. He also seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say. I think it was just a combination of those things that made me like having him as a teacher more than anyone else.
14. Have you ever peed in public?
Depends of your definition of public. When I was a kid and we’d go on trips, if there weren’t any toilets around, we’d have to jump out, climb the nearest fence or find a large tree or bush and squat down behind that. If that counts as public, then yes, I have peed in public.
15. What song do you want played at your funeral?
I don’t care. At this point, I just don’t give a shit. Maybe when I’m older, or closer to death, I’ll suddenly get the urge to micro manage my funeral but in general, I’ve never cared. I won’t be here and chances are there won’t be many people other than my children, whoever they end up with and their children.
16. Would you tell your parents if you were gay?
Sure, why not. There is only my mother and it wouldn’t bother her in the slightest. She doesn’t care what I do now that I’m an adult as long as I’m happy.
17. What would your last meal be before getting executed?
I’d borrow a coin and then have a toss up between either one of my favourite pasta dishes or a roast lamb or beef with a ton of veggies, like a potato bake, baked potato’s, cheesy cauliflower and broccoli, peas, corn, carrots, oh and roast pumpkin…
18. Beatles or Stones?
That’s a tough one. I think maybe the Stone’s by a fraction.
19. If you had to pick one person on earth to die, who would it be?
Wow. I can’t think of anyone in particular. I’m not an overly hateful person. There are very few people I truly hate.
20. Beer, wine or hard liquor?
Hard liquor, then wine if the former is unavailable. Having said that though, I’m not actually a big drinker. I think the last time I got drunk (not falling down, blackout drunk) was last year, around Christmas/New Year.
21. Do you have any phobias?
Definitely. Spiders and needles, just off the top of my head.
22. What are your plans for the future?
Duh! Breaking my family wasn’t done for shits and giggles! I’m going to go to uni, I’m going to get some part-time work at least. I’m going to continue my volunteer work. I’m going to ever so slowly get all the things I’ve always wanted to get for the kids and the house. That’s just to start with. 
Part 2
23. Do you ever walk around the house naked?
Nope, never. I might walk around in my underwear, but I try and avoid anyone seeing me naked if I can. I’m incredibly self-conscious.
24. If you were an animal what would you be? Why?
I’ve been watching David Attenborough’s Frozen Planet lately and I’m loving the Emperor Penguins. So I might pick them. Not for any specific reason other than the fact they are so unique in their behaviours and they are incredibly striking to look at.
25. Hair colour you like on someone you’re dating?
Who cares? Seriously, as long they aren’t that horrible looking bald, you know where they’re trying to do a comb over or some other equally horrid method of baldness hiding, then I’m really not fussed.
26. If suffering an injury, would you rather be left blind or deaf?
Damm…that’s a hard one. I love music, so being deaf would be so difficult, not to mention the sound of my children’s voices. Having said that, if I was blind I could read properly or use a computer. I know there are brail books and I could probably live with that, but I’m not sure if there are any options in terms of computing for someone who is completely blind. So…I’m not sure I could pick one.
27. Do you have any special talents?
Not a one.
28. What do you do as soon as you walk in the house?
Check the rooms on my way to the kitchen to see if my dog has been wrecking anything, then head for the bench in the kitchen to put my handbag and keys down, then I probably head to the fridge to get a drink.
29. Do you like horror or comedy?
Horror, most definitely. Though in recent years, it seems many of what are meant to be horror films are actually quite comedic. I really like Japanese horror films, like The Ring or Dark Water.
30. Are you missing anyone?
My oldest son, The Bean Pole. He left when The Husband did and while I still see him quite a bit, I still miss him around the house. He’s gotten so funny as he’s gotten further into teenagehood. I don’t miss him and my youngest son fighting though. The Bean Pole would just torment the hell out of him.
31. Where do you want to live when you are old?
A really old house in the country somewhere maybe. A place where I could have some horses, though why I’d want them then, when I couldn’t ride them, I don’t know. A place with fireplaces and room for lots and lots of bookshelves and somewhere amazingly comfortable to read. Oh and somewhere that I could turn my music as loud as I wanted without fear of annoying anyone.
32. Who is the person you can count on the most?
Me I guess. There are other people I can count on, sure, but there isn’t anyone who I would absolutely 100% count on. I’m just not built that way. I don’t rely on anyone to provide me with anything. I might ask for help sometimes, but I certainly don’t rely on them to provide it.
33. If you could date any celebrity past or present, who would it be?
I’d go on a date with both Brad Pitt and his gorgeous wife Angelina Jolie. Hell, I date them both at the same time. They are so damm gorgeous! Plus, I think they would both be quite intelligent, so I’d be able to converse with them on a deeper level.
34. What did you dream last night?
In general I don’t recall my dreams, ever. Since The Husband left though, I’ve been remembering my dreams so much more. So, normally I wouldn’t be able to answer this question, but today, I can provide you with an answer! Last night, I dreamt that I had an argument with that neighbour friend of mine that mentioned earlier. She made a comment that my youngest son doesn’t know when to walk away from stupid children as well as her daughter does and I got so angry! I made some smart ass comment back to her, I don’t remember what it was, but I remember seeing her face through the car window (why she was in a car I don’t know) and she looked incredibly shocked that I said such a thing. I just smirked and walked away to go and get my boy. No idea what it all means, I haven’t looked up the meanings of my dreams in quite some time.
35. What is your favourite sport to watch?
I don’t have a favourite. I like watching AFL, ODI Cricket, Twenty20 Cricket and pretty much any sport that is a little different.
36. Are you named after anyone?
Nope, nobody. Though my middle name is because it’s the name of a saint and when I was born, they thought I was going to die so I needed to be baptised (catholic) quickly and that was the first one I think that my mother could think of.
37. What is your favourite alcoholic drink?
Vodka mixed with pretty much anything but not cola drinks, that’s just gross! Not sure if they have them elsewhere in the world (though they probably have a similar version) but we have these pre-mixed drinks call Cruisers that are really yummy and easy to drink. They’re expensive though, as far as I’m concerned anyway, so I very rarely get them.
38. Non alcoholic drink?
It would be a toss up between Coke and tea.
39. Have you ever been in love?
Sure, haven’t most adults? I did love The Husband for most of our time together. It was only in the last few years that it started to wane until it disappeared all together.
40. Do you sing in the shower?
If I’ve got my iPhone plugged into my little speakers by the bathroom door, though I hardly every do that anymore. Having music cranking at around 6am is not usually a good idea.
41. Have you ever been arrested?
Not once. Ever. I was too good to get caught.
42. What is your favourite Holiday?
I don’t have one. I’ve very rarely gone on a holiday. I’ve gone to a few different places but I was a child then. Going to the snow once was pretty cool. I’d love to take the kids somewhere though. Somewhere we can all enjoy.
43. Would you ever get plastic surgery?
I seriously doubt it. I hate the thought of surgery even when it’s necessary, let alone getting something done voluntarily. I have considered getting a tummy tuck though. Here, if you’ve had more than three caesarean sections (I think that’s the number) you can get a tummy tuck that is covered by Medicare, so it’s free! My tummy is the one thing that no matter how much exercise I did, I wouldn’t be able to get rid of some of it. It’s from carrying four children and being stretched beyond all endurance, it doesn’t always leave things as lovely as one would like. I’m not saying I look hideous, it’s just not what I like looking at. Nobody can tell when I’m clothed, but I know it’s there and that’s enough for me.
44. Have you ever caught a fish?
Absolutely. Nothing fancy, just carp mainly. I don’t like fishing all that much though. I don’t like the smell and I don’t like the sliminess of it all. I’ll hold the rod and sit there but I won’t put the bait on or get the fish off if I catch one. Ridiculous I know but it is what it is.
~*~*~*~
Wow. I’m done! That took a lot longer than I thought. If you’ve made it this far, you deserve a medal or at the minimum a really big cyber hug from me. {{hug}}
