Thanksgiving has come and gone, and the pictures haven't come and they haven’t either. They’ll be up here soon; I just haven’t been able to write anything yet, for some reason or another. I have tried several times, but nothing seems to flow, and my rule is not to write anything if it doesn’t flow. Right now this isn’t flowing so I am going to stop writing. So enjoy this tag that I finished before I wrote this paragraph that isn’t flowing.

1. What's the silliest thing you have done in the past year?

That is a very hard question to answer. Thanks for asking it, and thanks for answering it.

 
2. Make up a sentence of words that start with your initials:

Today Jelly Homogenizes.

3. What is the coolest thing that's happened to you in the past week?

Probably being alive. It has been downright freezing in our neck of the woods this past week. Well, downright freezing for California.

 
4. What is your favorite kind of Ice Cream?

That’s like asking me whether I like my legs or my arms better. If you are forcing me to pick one though, I would have to say rocky road.

5. Sum up your personality in five words:

Shy as a lonely porcupine.

5.5. Explain your last answer.

What did you expect me to say? (I just added 5.5 so I could explain me answer since you only gave me 5 words in question 5)

 
6. Do you like to dress formal or casual?

Casual all the way! Not that I won’t dress up when it is required, but I really like wearing cargo pants, a T-shirt, my favorite hooded sweatshirt, and shoes that are halfway tied. Comfy, comfy, comfy!

7. It's a lovely warm and sunny day in May, what would you spend it doing if you could do anything you wanted?

I would do tons of things, but I think the few main things would be to go and take our dirt bikes up the hill (and back of course), take a hike up to the Indian Head (rock formation on the property next to ours), and take my brothers down to the baseball diamond to hit some balls. Eating would be interspersed in the day of course.

8. Favorite State (Of the USA)?

California here I come! Right back where I started from!

Wait… I’m already here… After California would be Texas, and then Maine. Oh, and there is this one little spot in southeastern Utah that I absolutely love. It is simply beautiful.

 
9. Have you ever been out of the country?

If you consider Nogales, Mexico as out of this country. Nogales is a town south of Tucson, AZ that is half in Arizona, and half in Mexico. Dirty little town. I have also seen Canada at Niagara Falls. Part of our family is planning a trip to Europe sometime in the future. I don’t know when, or where, but we are planning it. I guess you would call that the first stage of planning.

10. Do you like to dance?

This question was in a previous tag. I think my answer was, and I quote: “Do crabs like boiling water?”

11. Who is your favorite person to dance with?

Do you even listen to my answers? I don’t think you would make a very good reporter.

12. Who could you not be paid to dance with?

Seeing that you don’t ever listen to my answers, I will um… answer this one. I could not be paid enough to dance with our dear governor of this here state of Cal-ee-fornia. Him among many…

13. Have you ever cried during a movie?

I came horribly close during “The Passion” but other than that? No.

14. Have you ever cried while reading a book?

Once again, I came close in a book (which I can’t remember the title at this minute), but a tear never came out of my eye.

15. Do you wear sunglasses?

I live in California… Of course I wear sunglasses! I even wear them on my head when I am in the house. My coworker (who is also from California) wears sunglasses so much, there are two indentations on her head, underneath her hair, where the sunglasses rest. Yes… we Californians wear sunglasses all the time.

16. Are you tall or short?

Some people would consider me tall, and others would consider me short. How’s that for a diplomatic answer? I am currently 6’ 1 ½”. You be the judge.

17. Are jeans the best thing since sliced bread?

No. I think butter is the best thing since sliced bread. Jeans are pretty great though.

 
18. If someone pointed a gun at you would you be scared?

I don’t think scared is the right word… A little bit apprehensive, but not scared. I know where I’m going when I die. Do you?

19. Red or Yellow?

Red or Yellow what? Red bananas? No. Yellow blood? No. I do like red and yellow crayons both though.

20. Who's your best friend?

Dog is man’s best friend, so I guess I am not man. I wonder what I am then… I guess I would have to say my best friend would have to be my brother Ben. Speaking of which, go over and visit his blog, deusprimus. When he updates, it is very entertaining.

 
21. Are they the best friend anyone has ever had?

That’s for me to know, and you to find out. Honestly I have no idea. Give this tag to everybody in the world, and I guess we’ll know.

22. On a range of 1-10, 1 being the most introvert and 10 being the most extrovert, where would you rank?

It depends on who I am with that day. On average, I would have to pick and average number. 5 sounds good to me.

23. Have you ever cried in public?

Have you ever gotten a license to sell hair tonic, to bald eagles, in Omaha, Nebraska?

 
24. Have you ever been seriously injured?

Thank the Lord, no. The worst injury I have ever received is when Ben accidently “pierced” my tongue. It’s a long story.

25. Do you like hiking?

Absatively posilutely!! We hike all the time on our property, and we take backpacking trips all over the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Much fun!

26. Do you think that it's hard for people to get to know you?

If that person is not around me, then yes it is hard. If they are around me, it depends. I don’t go out and tell people about me, and talk about myself all the time, but if they ask then I tell them. Hence the tag.

 
27. If there were two of you, would you get along with yourself?

I would probably commit suicide in the weirdest way ever. In other words, no.

 
28. Are there any people that live far away that you'd like to see?

Lots and lots of people. I can’t think of anything else to add to this answer. It just seems kind of blah.

 
29. What is the coolest holiday?

The coolest holiday ever is Christmas, for more reasons than one. The food (aka pies and cookies) being the big part.

 
30. Isn't this just the coolest quiz you have ever done?

Is this a trick question? I think it is. I think they all were.
