I've Been Tagged

I've been tagged by Weezer at Weezer's Haven to answer eight questions.  It seems like I've been answering a lot of questions lately and you might already know more about me than you really want to!  It's okay, I understand!  After answering the questions, I'm to tag eight people to answer eight questions that I make up.  Did I choose you?

1and2. Did you grow up in the city you're currently living in?  If not, what brought you there?
No, I didn't.  My dad was in the army so I grew up all over the place.  My husband was also in the army and we stayed in MD when he retired.  His new job transfered us to a different part of the state, where we are now, six years ago.

3. Do you know how to ride a bicycle and how long has it been since you've ridden one?
Yes, I do and it's been about five years since the last time I rode one.  We had gone to a specialty bike shop to actually buy me one but we left empy handed.  I am short vertically challenged and they didn't have a bike that let the seat down low enough so I could pedal comfortably!

4. Do you have any old, real records? Of Who?
Oh, yes!  We have Billy Joel, Elton John, The Moody Blues, Bruce Springsteen, Carole King, Three Dog Night, Bread,  Alice Cooper, The Who and so many more!  Am I dating myself?!

5. Do you prefer to write with a pencil or a pen?
Mostly a pen and I prefer a fine point.  I use pencil for my address book.

6. When was the last time you mailed a letter or card (a real snail mail letter) to someone that wasn't related to a bill?
I haven't written a letter in ages, although I think about it quite often.  The last card I mailed was to my father for Father's Day. 

7. Do you prefer Mcdonald's french fries or Burger King's french fries?
Mcdonalds!

8. Do you play a musical instrument?
No.  In elementary school, when it came time to choose to play or not, I chose to play the clarinet.  I was very shy and the first time I had to play for the teacher by myself, I was so nervous that the sound coming out of it was shakey and bearly audible!  I was so embarrassed I gave it up.  To this day, when I'm really nervous, my voice shakes when I speak!
 
These are the blogs I'm tagging
 
Here are my questions!  I can't wait to see the answers!
1. If you could have one super power, what would it be and how would you use it?
2. If you could become any character in a book or movie, who would you become and why?
3. What was your favorite AND least favorite subject in school?
4. What would be your dream job?
5. What is one new thing you would like to learn?
6. If your life became a reality show, would it be a comedy or a drama?
7. Milk chocolate or dark chocolate?
8. What is your favorite way to relax or de-stress?

  9. I apologize profusely for missing this! I feel horrible. I'd use the excuse that I've been crazy busy, but that's just lame. So...here are my answers...

    1. If you could have one super power, what would it be and how would you use it?

    I've always wanted to be one of the X-Men who could move things with my mind...and maybe make people do whatever I want :) I'd use it while in traffic to make people get out of my way and to get places faster! And maybe to make people who annoy me kick themselves in the bum :)

    2. If you could become any character in a book or movie, who would you become and why?

    I'd be Hermione Granger. Who wouldn't want to be the smartest and most talented witch in her class?

    3. What was your favorite AND least favorite subject in school?

    Most favorite...hmm, either English or choir and the least...PE, not because I hated exercise (which I didn't) but because I hated showering in front of people!

    4. What would be your dream job?

    Writing Children's Literature and getting paid good money to do it.

    5. What is one new thing you would like to learn?

    I wish I had the money and time to learn to use precious metal clay to make jewelry. It is SO pretty, but the supplies and the kiln are expensive.

    6. If your life became a reality show, would it be a comedy or a drama?

    Oh PUHleeze...comedy all the way.

    7. Milk chocolate or dark chocolate?

    Yes :)

    8. What is your favorite way to relax or de-stress?

    Sitting in Barnes and Noble while plugged into my iPod while drinking a nice grande Mocha latte from Starbucks
