I must love you a lot.
I’ve been tagged. And here are the rules (which I’m breaking). At the end of the post, the blogger tags six an, as of yet, undetermined amount of people and posts their names or screen names, then goes to their blog and leaves a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged.
1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
Having just graduated from high school (holy crap it’s been ten years!), I was beginning my short-lived career as a lifeguard for the city pools. This means that at this particular moment ten years ago, I was sitting on a lifeguard stand, blowing my whistle and telling some kid for the 29th time to QUIT RUNNING!! The amount of sun that I got that summer will probably lead to melanoma, but man, did that tan look good!
2. What are 5 things on my to-do list today?
- Make it to 4:45 √
- Do some portraits for the daughter of one of my co-workers √
- Eat leftover Olive Garden and edit pictures while I watch more of Season 2 of Felicity
- Get organized and ready to shoot a wedding tomorrow
- Clean my house so my parents, who are coming to visit, don’t think I’m a walking health code violation.
√=Accomplished since I first started this post, but I was too lazy to come up with other things to put here.
3. Snacks I enjoy:
Popcorn (particularly of the pour over cheddar variety), chips and salsa, ice cream
4. Places I’ve lived:
Athens, TN; Chattanooga, TN; Orlando, FL; Tuscaloosa, AL (Roll Tide!)
5. Things I’d do if I were a billionaire:
Wow! I could get excited about this. Aside from supporting lots of organizations and ministries, here are a few of the things I would do: write a book, do freelance photography for non-profit organizations (for free) and start a non-profit organization that funded trips for college students to take short-term trips to third-world countries to raise awareness of poverty and social injustice. Oh, how I could go on…
6. People I want to know more about:
Jesus. Angela Thomas. C.S Lewis. A.W. Tozer.
7. Name two things you have in common with Oprah:
I think the things I have in common with Oprah are pretty obvious and there’s no need for me to rub it in.
8. You can tell a lot about a person by…
Their eyes, their smile and how they treat their siblings.
9. Are you a yeller when you get angry?
Nope. But I get firm and I get serious.
10. Have you ever danced in public?
Yes. My personal favorite was in seventh grade when I was on the cheerleading squad and we did a dance routine to “Old Time Rock ‘n Roll” during half time of the basketball game.
11. What did you do to deserve your first detention?
I don’t think I ever had detention. How lame is that!?
12. What did you do to deserve your first paddling?
No paddling, either. I do remember when I was in kindergarten and we were having art and Ms. Harrison told us to put down our crayons and I didn’t hear her. She saw me still coloring and started yelling and made me get in the corner. After the shock wore off, I started to cry.
13. Name three things you like about the town you live in.
- It’s a college town
- I live 4-7 minutes (depending on the lights) from where I work
- Roll Tide
14. Name four things that you love to do.
- Take pictures
- Spend time with friends, talking about our feelings
- Hike and camp
- Travel and explore
- Blog stalk
15. Name something unusual you carry with you wherever you go.
A wallet-friendly copy of my college diploma (laminated and everything!) because you never know when that might come in handy.
p.s. Amber, thanks for the reminder. I currently have a fork residing in my purse as well!
16. What’s your favorite website?
I wouldn’t even know where to begin!
17. Where and when was your first kiss?
Where: on the cheek; When: during show-and-tell when my kindergarten teacher went to talk to a parent.
The “real” kiss was in seventh grade when Matt Berra’s mom dropped me off after we went to see a movie together. He walked me into my parents basement and awkwardly planted one. Sweet memory.
18. What would an enemy have to say about you?
I smell sometimes.
19. Favorite childhood memory.
So many: Camping at Holly Flats, walking around “Spook Hollow,” “wrastling” with my dad, spot light time when we’d climb into my parents’ bed and read a book, that time my parents made green eggs and ham for breakfast thinking it would be cute and we refused to eat it (well, it’s my favorite memory now even if I was upset at the time.)
20. Any regrets?
Yes, but not many.
Well, I actually liked this one. I don’t often play these games, but the questions were really good on this one.
OK, I’m tagging the following bloggers:
- Jenn: Because she can give the international perspective
- Michelle: Because she’ll have the cheesiest answers
- Karin: I’m not sure she’ll do it, but it will be funny if she does (even if she hasn’t felt funny lately)
- Falcon: Because she’s so cute and will have great answers
- Knyt: Because he’s a wordsmith and will be intriguing to read
Ok, go get ‘em tiger!
