Sunday Stealing: The Get Out of Jail Free Meme, Part Two
21. Has there ever been anyone that now you regret meeting?
An ex manager who was a tyrant to work for, yet when I interviewed she seemed so nice.
22. What's the last film you saw? Would you recommend it?
Dark Shadows...It's a fun film if you never watched the original tv show...it's a great spoof with lots of references to the original show characters and plots for those who were fans. The building of Collinwood, the town, and the lush sets were fab. I was pleased to see Jonathan Frid and 3 other cast members at the party scene...got a kick out of Alice Cooper, tho his bit was too long (2 songs?!It's a movie not a concert!). I found Johnny Depp to be amazing as "Barnabas"...an academy award worthy performance. So, yes, I'd recommend it.
23. Would you rather have roommates or live alone?
I have lived alone most of my life and when I had roommmates, I hated it. I live with one person now, but a lover is a little different than a roomie.
24. Do you like any of your friends a little more than just a friend?
Eeeooowww.
25. We loved the results yesterday on Saturday 9. Post a rather current song that you'd like us to hear.
I posted "TAKE CARE" by Rihanna and Drake yesterday, so I'll post a different song today..."Climax" from Usher...love his voice and style...very old school sound... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8neDjQoBMQ
27. If you found out that you were going to be a parent, what would you do? If you are one, tell us what the best parent of being a parent is.
I would make arrangements NOT to be...
28. Do you give money to homeless people when they ask?
Yes, always. I don't care how they spend it, I just feel every person is valid and if someone needs help, I will contribute. I will only refrain from the scammers who come up to you in a parking lot with a "story" about how they ran out of gas and just need a couple bucks to get home. That is different.
29. A weekend in Las Vegas or Miami? Why?
Vegas baby. I hate the beach, hot sun or tropical anything.
30. What was your reaction to the president supporting gay marriage?
A sign of true leadership. Being a role model for the country is what he can do well at times.
31. You are totally alone on a Saturday. What do you do?
One of the hundred fifty projects I always have...or I'll sit and veg watching"Property Brothers"or "Yes to the Dress"...
32. You have 3 months left to live, what is your bucket list?
Tough one. Would discuss with S/O.
33. You're having a bad day, what one thing can make your day better?
A hug from Bud.
34. Ever use a tanning bed?
Years ago when it was still cool to be tan 3 seasons of the year...NEVER since 1985....
35. Is there anything you would change about your body if you could?
About 20 lbs weight loss and about 20 years of time.
36. You wake up in an unfamiliar place, what is your first reaction?
As in hungover and did something I forgot and where I was? 1. I'd find my keys and start driving. 2. I'd look for an ice cream stand.
37. Is there anything that you should be doing right now?
Probably not this...
38. At what age do you think that sex becomes less important? Why?
That is a personal decision. "Important" could vary depending on whether you have a regular partner or not. You find other stuff to do when you are not entangled in a sexual relationship...any age is the answer methinks.
39. What is your favorite breakfast food?
I like berry pancakes, french toast, waffles, and plain old scrambled eggs with good homefries...and great coffee...the latter is my usual.
40. Your phone rings at 4am, who do you expect it to be?
Either my brother in Australia who didn't do the math on time zones, or someone telling me someone has died or was in an accident.

SATURDAY 9 Meme:
Saturday 9: That's Why God Made The Radio
1. The Beach Boys are back together (everyone alive, Dennis and Carl have passed, including Brian) for the first time in 25 years. It's their 50th Anniversary tour. Their new single is called, “That's Why God made the Radio”. Did radio play a huge part of your growing up years?
I cannot imagine my life without the radio. From my youngest childhood days listening to am stations like WABC and WNEW and WLNG, all of them made me appreciate music on a varitety of levels.
2. What is something that you are disappointed about right now?
My weight loss efforts.
3. What are you really anticipating right now?
My October wedding...so many details to plan!
4. When was the last time you watched your favorite movie? What is it?
"If It's Tuesday This Must Be Belgium" is my alltime fav movie and I watched it again for the 80th time last year...
5. If you could bring one person back from the dead, who would it be?
On a local level, my mother. On a global level, probably a peace advocate like Ghandi.
6. Who was the last person you hung up on?
The car dealership where I bought my car Astro. They call my cell phone often, but it's a pre-recorded message when I answer which infuriates me...I finally called the number back and told them to take me off their f%$ing auto call and that I would never use them for any service ever... and hung up before they could respond. They really ripped me off when I bought my car and they address mail to me as "Mrs Collins", as if a single woman could not purchase a car without a man. I hate them.
7. Does it bother you when meme makers separate questions that could've been combined?
Huh? I don't sweat the small stuff...
8. What is the first animal you would run to see if you went to the zoo?
Does the ice cream stand count? I hate zoos and other animal prisons like aquariums...I don't want to see any particular animal boxed up for life.
9. What is the food you always buy at the grocery store that you can't live without?
Cream for my coffee, popcorn, taco fixins...diet coke...there are endless items I get every time...

SATURDAY 9 Meme: Til I Hear It From You....
Saturday 9: 'Til I Hear It From You
1. If someone, that you trusted, told you that your lover was cheating, would you believe them or not?
I would ask my S/O what was happening and tell him what I heard...
2. What is something that you are disappointed about right now?
My weight loss attempts have gone south...I keep falling off the wagon and eating at work and snacking.
3. Jonathan Frid, who was the original Barnabas Collins on Dark Shadows from 1967-1971, passed away in Canada at the age of 87. Who is your favorite vampire?
Barnabas Collins was my absolute favorite and the first actor I ever wrote a fan letter to. I cried real tears when I heard the news the other night. His character was a huge part of my childhood memories...my mother and I watched the show every day for almost the entire 5 years it was on. I had a crush on Barnabas. I saw Jonathan Frid last year at the convention for Dark Shadows and glad I did. This year, I am dragging Bud to the Collinwood house (Lyndehurst) for a tour and luncheon with some of the stars...
4. Should there be age limits on social networking sites such as facebook?
Perhaps limitations on what can be posted by people under 18.
5. Tell us about your pets. Do you have one that you wish would run away?
I work in an office where the boss brings in his black lab-great dane mix dog. The dog loves me and is quite gassy and doggie smelly and hangs out in my small office, often having gas and then walking out so when people come in, it appears to them that I have the odor...yes, I wish that dog would stay home.
6. Do you ever have a hard time with morals?
No. There is right and there is wrong. I have trouble with keeping myself from eating goodies...
7. Did you make 'a plan' the first time you made love or did it just happen?
We planned it so we could have a night in a motel.
8. Do you agree that fame is lousy or would you love to give it a try? Why?
I don't think it's lousy if you know how to handle it and have good support around you, and true friends.
9. Do you believe in forever, as in 'love forever'?
I do now...

SATURDAY 9 meme: AINT TOO PROUD TO BEG
Saturday 9: Ain't Too Proud to Beg
1. What was the last thing that you begged for?
Hmmm...I don't beg as a rule, but I did ask Bud to make me a drink last night.
2. Have you ever lost a best friend after a fight?
Yes, I dropped a friend who did not support my decision to have weight loss surgery 10 years ago. It compounded into a fight that showed she and I were not on the same page on many things and her racism put me over the edge. I sent her xmas cards for a few years, but we never spoke again.
3. When was the last time you just wanted to be invisible?
I was with a friend in a wig shop in the Mall the other night and they require you to wear a skin color wig cap when trying on wigs (Hygeine) and the store owner asked me to come up front to look at a different style wig in the color I liked while people were passing by and looking in at me and giggling. I looked like I had a condom on my head.
4. Which room of your home tends to be the messiest?
My office is right now because I have not yet unpacked in there.
2nd is the garage, which I plan to convert into our wedding dance hall and dining area.
5. You are to be locked in a room forever with a celebrity. You get to choose. Who do you pick?
A robot I can program, like on Lost In Space or Data from Star Trek. I'd go mad locked up with anyone human.
6. Has someone ever left another person to be with you?
Not directly, but a couple guys took themselves OFF of Match.com for me...
7. What’s been kind of a drag for you lately?
Sleep issues.
8. How are you different from your (current or most recent) significant other?
I wake up early and get a lot of projects done and chores. He wakes up at the crack of noon and not so constructive with his day.
9. What is the most perverted thing someone has ever said to you?
If by perverted you mean "bad"...in th 80s, my date liked to be the center of attention and didn't care for a comment I made when he was telling one of his stories, so he said loudly in front of everyone "when I want your opinion, I'll check my zipper"... it was our last date.
