Ellemeno:
1. Do you have a low startle point? Hm, I think of myself as easy-going, and then notice that I'm all worried and anxious, so I don't know.
2. Are you as bad as Jack is at cooking? I'm a pretty good cook.
3. Ever shot an elk or other animal? No, but in my early 20s I decided that to be a meat eater I should know what it's like to really kill an animal, so I butchered a chicken. It cured me of carnivorocity for quite a while.
4. Was your dad right? Not often.
5. Ever drunk whiskey straight out of the bottle? You know, I didn't realize it til you asked, but I don't think so.
6. Ever slept on the ground beside a campfire? Yes, but with a pad and sleeping bag. And pillow.
7. Ever lived in an apartment above a laundromat (or other retail establishment)? No.
8. Are you as good a horseback rider as Lureen -- or can you stay on the horse, anyway? No more horseback ridin' for me.
9. Do you know someone name a Jack? Yes.
10. Ever contacted a romantic partner via postcard? You bet.
11. Do you ever bring home freshly caught fish? No.
12. Are you worse than Bobby when it comes to losing stuff? No. (These are SUCH great questions. I love them.)
13. Ever socialized with the fire-and-brimstone crowd? Well, you know, this reminds me of my early and mid teens - while I was thrashing around, doing too many dangerous and/or illegal things, I had these two cousins about my age, who were very Christian, and who did a lot of stuff with their church youth group. I used to like to infrequently go with them, and pretend I was a good girl too. They always seemed happier and more at peace than my friends and I did. If only there wasn't that whole pesky believing part of it.
14. Would somebody looking around your home comment that you need more furniture? Doubt it.
15.. Do you watch TV during dinner? When I'm alone. I LOVE to watch TV during dinner. But my 4yo doesn't know that. We eat dinner together as a family at the table most nights. (Giving her what I didn't get. She misses out on the fun of TV during dinner, but the trade off is August, I mean parents who are connecting with her and mostly all having a good time together.
16. Ever used an electric knife? No, but I've used a chain saw.
17. Did you pledge Tri Delt -- or some other sorority or fraternity? Just honor societies I never participated in.
18. Do you remember (or know) how it is, being broke all the time? Yes, but I've never known what it is like to feel like there is no one who wouldn't bail me out if I sank too low.
19. Did your mother keep your bedroom the way it was when you were a kid? For a while.
20. Have you ever scattered someone's ashes? I've been part of other people scattering ashes. I've never been the actual scatterer.
