I want to thank Bree at In Love and Words for tagging me to tell 100 Truths. Go check her out; I love her blog and she is the sweetest person ever! I might have given up blogging without her encouragement at my start. She’s awesome!

24 Your last holiday abroad:

A year ago I cruised with friends to celebrate their wedding. We went to The Bahamas.

25-48 apparently disappeared… Have you heard Cheech and Chong’s song “Santa and His Old Lady?” Where they talk about the 12 Days of Christmas and claim that the days between Boxing Day and New Years are the “Mystery Days?” These seem to be the mystery questions!

49 Do you believe in aliens?

I’d think it’s pretty arrogant for us to assume we are the only life forms in the universe. But I also don’t believe in little green men that fly around in space ships.

50 Do you believe in miracles?

Yes.

51 Do you believe in the power of positive thinking?

100%! It saves.

52 Do you believe in love at first sight?

I’m dubious. Though my fiance claims he knew he wanted to marry me on our first date, so he’d probably disagree with me.

53 Can money make you happy?

Not gonna lie — yes. Yes it can.

Yes.

55 Are you pro-life or pro-choice?

Though I’d never have one, I support a woman’s right to choose.

Yes, much to many of my friends’ disappointment.

No. I am spiritual however.

Nah.

62 What are you thinking about right now?

Well, now I’m thinking about how loud that freaking air conditioner is! Unreal!

63 What are you waiting for right now?

The day I can pick up my new kitten, Tiger Seguin. Yeah. He’s named after hockey player Tyler Seguin.

64 What are you most excited about right now?

I should say my wedding, but my most immediate excitement centers around the above. Tiger. Seguin.

65 What’s your pet peeve right now?

Slow drivers.

66 What’s your favourite thing right now?

Ohmigosh, I bought these new Tempurpedic uncrushable pillows at Bed Bath and Beyond last night and I legit want to go home and put my head on it again. Divine!

Beer!

Random Questions

90 What’s your dream job?

It used to be to be a female Roger Ebert, reviewing films from a feminist POV. But now I dream of being in publishing, like an editor or writer.

91 What’s your guilty pleasure?

Ben & Jerry’s

92 What are you afraid of?

Is “everything” an option? Definitely clowns. Yeesh.

And spiders. And, because of this meme, Tom Hardy (and Chris Pratt, Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth — basically all the Chrisses — and Tyler Seguin. I’m terrified of Tyler Seguin).

93 What was the first thing you wanted to be when you grew up?

A teacher.

Super strength.

95 If you could change anything about your life what would it be?

A better paying, more engaging job.

!!!

Who’s the guy that through all that money out of a plane? D.B. Cooper? Yeah. Him.

Don’t stay home because of a boyfriend. Go away to school and don’t be fearful.

100 Where would you like to be in five years’ time?

Maybe in a management position? Owning a larger home and blissfully happy in my marriage.
