As promised yesterday, here are my responses to the 39 questions survey that seems to be making its rounds!
1. Were you named after anyone?
Nope. My parents debated on what to name me for awhile but my name doesn't have any legacy that I'm aware of. I do know that if I was a boy they were going to name me Cody. I really can't picture myself as a Cody (or a boy for that matter!)
2. When was the last time you cried?
Last Tuesday when I backed my new car into a concrete wall. Still not over that by the way...
3. Do you like your handwriting?
Sometimes. It can be really nice, neat, and pretty if I try. But usually I'm writing things down so quicly that it looks pretty messy and awful. I like it when I try.
4. What is your favourite lunch meat?
Roast beef. It has to be rare though - nice and red in the middle. There is nothing worse than dry, gray-looking roast beef (I'm looking at you Subway!).
5. Do you have kids?
No, not yet. and to be honest I'm not sure when/if I will. A part of me really wants to, but another part of me just isn't so sure. I'd definitely want everything to be in place first (stable home, job, etc.).
6. If you were another person, would you be friends with you?
Absolutely. But, it might be hard to get to know me because I can sometimes tend to be shy around new people. I think it would be worth the wait though, I hear I'm a pretty loyal awesome friend to have!
7. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Yep. Not everyone seems to get it though.
8. Do you still have your tonsils?
Unfortunately, yes. I sometimes wish I had gotten them taken out when I was younger because they cause me so much trouble. I get tonsillitis a lot, and they swell up all gross and crazy and hurt so bad. I'm too scared to get them out now though - I hear the procedure is pretty risky as an adult.
9. Would you bungee jump?
Maybe, the right person would have to convince me. It wouldn't be something I'd be aching to try on my own and actively pursuing.
10 What is your favourite cereal?
That's a tough one. Depends on the category I guess? I really like Fruit Loops for a sweet cereal, Multigrain Cheerios for an average semi-healthy cereal, Cinnamon Toast crunch for another sweet cereal, I used to also love French toast crunch but they don't make that anymore. I guess I like a lot of sweet cereals. On that note, I recently picked up a box of Poppin Fruity Pebbles. They have pop rocks in them that crackle in your mouth as you eat them. Weirdly Amazing I Promise You!

11. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
Absolutely not. And it drives my boyfriend crazy.
12. Do you think you are strong?
Physically, yeah. I used to have to routinely carry around a 50-plus pound case of equipment for work and I have super strong legs from swimming competitively. Emotionally, nope. I am a super emotional softie.
13. What is your favourite ice cream?
Cake batter flavored soft serve. And the caramel cookie crunch flavor of Talenti Gelato. YUM.
14. What is the first thing you notice about other people?
I notice hair a lot. My hair never likes to cooperate so I always notice when people have such nice, shiny, perfectly curled/styled hair. Mine is either plain straight or in a pony tail.
15. Red or pink?
Pink! Can't you tell? Just like this super cute duffel bag I picked up at Ross for my getaway this weekend. (Ignore my messy bedspread in the background!)

16. What is your least favourite thing about yourself?
Probably my super sensitivity (see my emotional softie comment above - and yes I know that isn't the correct way of spelling softy). I have a tendency to take things personally sometimes or easily have my feelings hurt by things that would probably be no big deal to other people. I'm working on it though.
17. Any tattoos?
Nope, and I doubt I'd ever get one. I'm pretty sure I'd change my mind and hate it about a week later.
18. Do you have any hobbies?
Yes, of course. A lot of them are kind of introverted activities (I told you, I'm shy sometimes!). I like to read, watch my favorite TV shows, go on nice long walks, go to the movies, write, daydream, dance, sing (especially to Taylor Swift songs... I know, I know).
19. What colour shoes are you wearing?
Black. Black riding boots to be exact.
20. What was the last thing you ate?
A Halo mandarin orange (or three).
21. What are you listening to right now?
The sounds of my computer humming, no music at the moment. I was listening to the 90s on 9 satellite channel earlier though.
22. If you were a crayon, what colour would you be?
Probably a light pink or purple shade, not too bright/neon more of a subtle pastel color.
23. Favourite smells?
Laundry in the dryer is my #1 favorite for sure! Some others...coffee, new car/leather smell, cookies or cake in the oven, turkey in the oven, surfboard wax.
24. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?
My mom, we're brainstorming activities for when I come visit this weekend. I am so excited :)
25. Mountain hideaway or beach house?
Since I live near the beach now, I'd definitely have to go for Mountain Hideaway. I've always loved mountains and the woods, so I think that would be so nice. However, living by the beach has its perks too - like this cool pirate ship I saw sail by on Sunday:

26. Favourite sport to watch?
Basketball, or volleyball since they are so fast paced and exciting. I like watching football too but there are so. many. commercials.
27. Hair colour?
Dirty Blondish/brownish. Lighter in the summer, darker in the winter!
28. Eye colours?
Blueish green. Some days they look more blue, some days green. And sometimes they have yellow in them. Today, they are more greenish-gray I guess? You tell me...

29. Do you wear contacts?
Unless I forget in the morning. One time I started driving to work and couldn't figure out why all the signs were so blurry. Oh...right.... my contacts...*turns car around*. That doesn't happen anymore because my eyes have gotten a little worse so it is painfully obvious when I'm not wearing them.
30. Scary movies or happy endings?
Depends on my mood. Sometimes I love to watch scary movies, or even have a scary movie marathon (not if I'm going to be home alone at any point in time for the next week though). But who doesn't love a happy ending?
31. Last movie you watched?
In the movie theater, Paranormal Activity "The Marked Ones," it was pretttttyyyy cheesy. But I enjoyed it. At home? I don't remember what it was called but it was on the Lifetime Movie Channel and was about this family that buys a foreclosed house and the previous owner/tenant is a psycho that wants his house back.
32. What colour shirt are you wearing?
Navy Blue.
33. Summer or winter?
Winter. Although it seems to almost always feel like summer here. 65 degrees today, I cannot imagine what some of you guys are going through with all of the crazy winter storms and serious subzero temperatures. Stay warm!
34. Hugs or kisses?
Hugs. They're more universally appealing. Kisses are tricky - like if you don't want the one someone is trying to give you. Although kisses from the right person are pretty awesome!
35. Computer or television?
Television (or TV shows on my computer). I love getting sucked in to a good (or funnily bad/mindless) TV show. My current rotation includes: Revenge, Once Upon a Time, the Bachelor, Biggest Loser, Mindy Project, Trophy Wife, Real World, Teen Mom 2, Greys Anatomy, Breaking Bad (I'm on season 4), Pretty Little Liars, and Ravenswood.
36. What book are you reading right now?
Right now nothing, sadly. But I will probably either download one or borrow one for my plane ride this weekend. Any suggestions?
37. What’s on your mouse pad?
Don't have one :) who uses those anymore?
38. What colour is your house?
Well I rent it, not own it... but the outside is a tan stucco/plastery looking color.
39. What colour is your car?
Phantom Black (basically a deep black with some sparkles in the paint).
