1. Are you named after anyone?

 

Nope. I was born on my oldest brother's bday and he wanted to name me Michelle since his name is Michael, but the parents had already named me Carol. I named my daughter a variation of my middle name and her middle name is my mom's name before she was adopted at age 9 and they changed her name, her *whole* name, not just her last name. Who does that to a kid that old?!

 

2. When was the last time you cried?

 

I sad-cry and happy-cry at books, movies, tv shows, songs...ok, pretty much anything can set me off. So, yesterday. I'm still a badass though.

 

3. Do you have kids?

 

Yes. Mine, his and ours for a total of 6. And 1 adorable 15 month old granddaughter.

 

4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?

 

I'm loyal as hell, but I'm a hermit so I think I'm a hard friend to hang out with. Unless it's on the computer. I can computer hang like a mofo.

 

5. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

 

Is this a trick question?

 

6. Will you ever bungee-jump?

 

No to the zillionth power.

 

7. What’s your favorite cereal?

 

I rarely eat cereal, but when I do it's Lucky Charms all the way.

 

8. What's the first thing you notice about people?

 

Whether their mere presence irritates the fuck out of me.

 

9. What is your eye colour?

 

blue

 

10. Scary movie or happy endings?

 

I don't watch scary movies. Life is scary enough. I much prefer action movies with shit blowing up and asses getting kicked.

 

11. Favorite smells?

 

vanilla, fresh mown grass or better yet a fresh mown hay field, honeysuckle, baby powder, bergamot, lilacs, wood smoke on a cold day

 

12. Summer or winter?

 

Spring

 

13. Computer or television?

 

Computer with a big monitor. At my age, size really does matter.

 

14. What’s the furthest you’ve ever been from home?

 

Cancún or the Bahamas (when I lived in OH), not sure which is farther and I don’t care enough to look it up.

 

15. Do you have any special talents?

 

I can belch nearly the entire alphabet after downing a can of Pepsi. I'm still trying to perfect that one.

 

16. Where were you born?

 

A hospital in Ohio.

 

17. What are your hobbies?

 

Reading, surfing the internet, home improvement projects, puzzles (haven’t done one of those in a while though) and my blog. A very recent hobby is obsessing over all things Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel. Nom nom nom!
