Currently Scream - usher

Which SC member intrigues you
Everybody

Favourite Chinese food?
Bleh, no thanks!

Do you believe in the death penalty? Why or why not??
Hm... Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. If someone murders someone else then they should die aswel...but other times I feel they should get a life term in the worst prison possible and live to regret their choices.

If you could change your username, what would your change it to?
CanadianKitten

What is your real name?
Elizabeth.... Don't like it much.. personally I like Anya lol [yes buffy nerd right here]

What do you think your 15 minutes of Fame will be or has been.
Probably getting knocked down by 2 lapdogs, 2 chihuahua's, 2 tomcats and 2 big ass dogs that think their lapdogs.. racing around and plenty of times I've had my legs literally knocked out from under me.. thank god nobody had a video recorder going. . . yet

What question do you wish people would stop asking you?
When are you going to give up on finishing your academic upgrading since you flopped out before on wanting to goto college.. after many times I kept telling them that before I was going into cooking because i told my dying grandfather i would in high school.. then was going to appease my grandmother..now I'm going for myself into a career that will always be needed and people will need me which i love regardless how hard it is.

Describe your first kiss. (PG please).
Haha.. i think i was 5 or 6.. it was just a quick peck..than he ran off with a little redheaded girl [the nerve! lol j/k]

What is your biggest flaw.
Hmmm... I second guess myself so much that I fail tests and sometimes punk out of doing things I really wanted to do.. but I'm getting better at trusting myself so.. my next flaw would be being a flipping perfectionist... so much so that it takes me months to do a simple crafting project.. if something doesn't look right I will rip it out and start again...and again..and again.. lol

What are your plans for the holidays?
Just going to my SIL and brothers house for christmas on boxing day.

What Christmas song do you absolutely hate?
it's not songs I hate but a person who sings them... mariah carey..gawd >.<

What makes you laugh out loud?
My SIL and brothers new chihuahua pup, Buck and her aunts new pup [his brother] gizmo.. they race around the house like nuts and today they were chasing my sil new 3mth old kitten, blondie around and around the christmas tree [and under it]...it was simply hilarious..had to be there..wish i had my camera.

What was the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you and what was your reaction?
I was razing with my brothers dog, Pepper, back in... 2000 I think or early 2001.. i was in grade 9.. I was kneeling on the floor and blowing in her face to pester her ..she snapped her head when I looked away and then back at her and she scared me; I jumped back landing on my ass and heard a loud crunch.. I bolted up and felt my butt and realized my pants were cut and my glass of emty pop was shattered on the ground,, my brother came in and looked at me.. I ran into the bathroom and bawled.. I had a deep cut in my left buttcheek.. omigod I screamed and bawled.. my brother called my GRANDPARENTS and they came by and patched up my BARE ARSE.. holy crap my face was so red.. gawd >.< My parents came home and I showed my mother.. they dragged me to the hospital.. had to get my butt numbed and glass taken out the doctor said i was lucky it was a clean cut and barely any shards.. the nurse and doctor tried to make me feel better I was crying so hard and so damn em-BARE-ASSED about the whole thing they mentioned that several girls were coming in and having to have their.... ................ ...........ahem's stitched because they were sledding and hitting steep ramps and landing wrong and tearing their privates...gah.. that made me feel a little better but also horrified... -shudder-


What questions do you often ask yourself?
Why does my eldest brother [not the bro i like btw] whose 30, bold face lie to me when I watched him eat FOUR fudgesicles and throw the sticks and wrapped behind the couch... I was to smack him with a rolled up newspaper.

If you saw someone "losing it" with a child, a senior, a pet, would you scold them, ignore it, or offer your help?
I know it's none of my business but I would ask the person to calm down.. but most times I wouldn't get involved.. it depends on the situation.. yesterday for example these 2 gentlemen [who were at least 60-70 years old] were yelling at each other at the goodwill in new market [so classy btw].. telling the other they didnt know them, yadda yadda...go ahead hit me show me what you got.. neither would throw the first punch.. this went on for a good 10 minutes... the only cashier was a petite female who ran to the back for help and they refused to help her! they all hid in the sorting room!..finally the men left... omigod it was uncomfortable.. i wasn;t getting involved.. until it escalated further.
Another example.. this young couple years ago had a tiny pup on a choker and chain leash and were DRAGGING the poor dog thru the parking lot as it was trying to poo. The guy looked back and yelled at it than kicked the poor thing and dragged it more. My dad was phsyically trying to exstrain me from chasing after them; I saw a cop and ged him down and he watched and another group was watchig them couple and they came by and told the cop so he went after them.. I don't know what happened after that but.. =/
It depends on the situation.

What is your favourite 'simple pleasure' (e.g., watching snow fall, the sound of rain on the roof, seeing squirrels playing in your yard, etc.)?
watching the stars on a clear winter night [like last night =)]

What sensible request would you ask of someone, as you lay on your death bed?
Ask whom ever was there how their day was or what was new.

What's the craziest present you've heard/seen kids [ages 4-10] asking from santa and what you think about it.
[ohhh goody my question!!] Ipads, ipods, laptops, xbox 360 with kinect [even though they have a family xbox.. they want one for their bedroom only] It's so damn STUPID! They don't need it.. I posed this question to my niece when she asked for one.. why do you want it and what does it do [referring to an ipod] her answer.. I don't know but every has one... so silly.. they don't need that or ereaders! I think parents need to realize these kids don't need that crap and it's all hyped.. it'll just sit in the box or broken in a corner 4 months later.

[Lynn49]

What is your favourite song to sing out loud to? I don't sing out loud. I sing in my head. It depends on the season...right now, it's "We need a little Christmas"..must have been the last one I heard on our tv Christmas music channel...

Which SC member intrigues you Oh, goodness...so many do!Members my age because we have so much in common...younger girls because they're so much like our daughter (careers, kids)...and the young men, because they're just starting to make their way in their careers, so much like our SIL....I guess I find most people interesting!

Favourite Chinese food? Honey garlic riblet thingies.

Do you believe in the death penalty? Why or why not?? Oh, tough question. I think it depends on the crime, and the disposition of the criminal. Sometimes I think it's the easy way out for them...I can think of better ways to punish them, esp anyone who hurts a child or animal.

If you could change your username, what would your change it to? I used to use the name "Glitter" since I brake for sparklies..must have been a magpie in an earlier life...so maybe that, although it seems too young for me now...

What is your real name? Linda but no one calls me that since my hubby started calling me Lindi in high-school. It stuck and I prefer it.

What do you think your 15 minutes of Fame will be or has been. Being the arts coordinator for our city for a few years...loved it!

What question do you wish people would stop asking you? Is your hair colour natural? (no...it comes from a bottle..LB01, L'Oreal Preference..it's supposed to be very light blonde, but it turns my hair a lovely silver-white.. )

Describe your first kiss. (PG please). I have no idea where or when it was!!

What is your biggest flaw. I procrastinate. Then finally get down to doing that which I was procrastinating about, and wonder what the big deal was, since it took so little time and effort!

What are your plans for the holidays? Spending the day at our Daughter's home with her hubby and their little guy, along with SIL's side of the family...lots of food, wine, chatter, and later a game or two...Then it gets repeated several days later when my brother his wife and their daughter visit us and stay at our DD's home since it's so big and ours now is so teensy..)

What Christmas song do you absolutely hate? "So This Is Christmas"...maudlin', not Christmassy...yuck. It's in the same catagory as their "Imagine"....gah!

What makes you laugh out loud? Very little, actually...the antics of our grandson and Jenny, I guess, and particularly when they're playing "chase me" and you don't know who's ending up chasing who, and he's giggling and screaming and she's barking. Lovely chaos!

What was the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you and what was your reaction? Honestly? I don't remember, I really don't. If I think if anything I'll come back later..

What questions do you often ask yourself? Why am I here and what did I come here for? Not in the philosophical sense...I really mean: why did I enter this room, and for what reason?

If you saw someone "losing it" with a child, a senior, a pet, would you scold them, ignore it, or offer your help? I hope I'd do something, even it's giving them the evil eye...I hate to be brutally honest here, but I think I'd be more inclined to jump in if it was an animal being scolded, since that usually take a really bad turn for the worst. If a child seems lost or ignored, I would, and have, intervened.

What is your favourite 'simple pleasure' (e.g., watching snow fall, the sound of rain on the roof, seeing squirrels playing in your yard, etc.)? Watching dogs walking on a leash...they are so into that moment, so excited to be exactly where they are, and content in that moment. I think it's a lesson to be learned...

What sensible request would you ask of someone, as you lay on your death bed? Wow. Um....that it's all about loving each other, and accepting each other as they are...to keep in mind that we're all put on earth to experience exactly what we're to experience, and that we all have our own agendas...therefore not to judge others harshly...to be more accepting of everyone..that everyone's an angel.....

Do you like to travel and where have you been?Love it. Been to: the west coast of both Canada and the US (Vancouver/Victoria and California), the east coast of the US (from NY to Florida), Michigan many times because we love shopping there, as well as the NFL games we attended, then Italy (Rome, the Amalfi Coast, Sicily), Greece, Turkey, and Egypt (Cairo). We're planning to return to Rome as soon as I can convince myself I want to fly over the ocean again.....But what I'd really love to do is experience a "home game" in every NFL home field. Except for the Raiders and Cowboys. Not in the least!

Favourite place to vacation? Close: Michigan (Auburn Hills); Far: Rome

If you were a food, what would you be? Hot, fresh from the oven bread!

What's the craziest present you've heard/seen kids [ages 4-10] asking from santa and what you think about it. Not running in those circles lately except for our little grandson, who's 4, and he's not asking for anything, so I have no idea!

What their hidden talent is: Hm. I don't think I have one...I've never been one to hide my talents!

[operabob]

[Lynn49]

The new Cowboys stadium looks like a space colony! I think it be worth visiting!

Oh, Vesper, Hon, I know...I watched the opening, the building of it on tv...but ugh. I quite dislike Jerry Jones and how he thought all his money could buy him a Superbowl ring!! Didn't work, Jerry! Hah! I hear that there are rumblings that people want him to take a much more of a back-seat regarding the organization. I'm not sure how that'll go over or how it could happen, but for now...for me...my next stadium will be in Pittsburgh! Unless....it's back to Lambeau... Then there's the M&T Bank Stadium...if I want to see my hero, Ray Lewis (I loves him!!) before both of us are too old, then perhaps that should be my next one. He's coming back this year, fingers crossed!!!!

[vesper]

Everyone there hates Jerry Jones. They call the stadium Jerry's world, because he screwed tax payers for that stadium. I paid about $7 in tax on my car rental towards that stadium. Booo!
