Hump Day Survey


I can't take credit for these questions, I pulled them off of a website and I didn't even read them first so I'll be seeing them for the first time as you do!  

What are your favorite songs from your teenage years that you still rock out to?  I'm surprised by how much I loved Poison back in the day but turn off Every Rose Has It's Thorn the second it comes on now.  I also turn off Def Leppard because it was my friend's favorite band and I had to listen to them enough back in the day to last me a lifetime but that wasn't the question.  I always love Dr. Feelgood or Girls, Girls, Girls by Motley Crue even though I didn't like them enough to have them on my walls.  Always love the original remake of Hard to Handle by Black Crowes before they re-released it with horns and ruined it.  Probably love it because I'm in the balcony in the video.

Who was your childhood actor/actress crush?  John Ritter and John Travolta.  

What’s your most embarrassing moment from your teen years?  Hmm, oddly nothing really comes to mind.  I actually think more of something from 6th grade.  There was a new kid that year that I had a crush on.  One day I was talking to him when I guess I should've been listening to the teacher who had a flair for being a flaming a-hole.  He said "when you're done flirting with boys maybe you could pay attention?" in front of the class.  The object of my crush leaned over and said "don't be flirting with those boys now!" to which I gave him a finger gesture and began my voodoo doll of said teacher.

What’s the craziest dare you ever took?  I don't know that I took dares, I just did what I wanted and waited for people to say it was crazy.

What’s the grossest food you ever had to eat to be polite?  My dad traumatized me with caraway seeds as a kid.  I didn't eat it to be polite, I ate it because I was forced to.  My gag reflex literally goes off if I smell rye bread or even see the word 'caraway.')

What’s the worst thing you ever did as a kid — and got away with?  Like I'd tell anyone!

What’s the craziest fashion trend you ever rocked?  I suppose neon.

What did you get into the most trouble for with your parents as a kid?  My grades.  Solid B and C student with a D thrown in for good measure and grounding.

What’s your silliest memory with your best friend?  We used to make cassette tapes of our own X-rated soap operas with our favorite rock stars as the object of our teen lust.  I should probably burn those.

What part of elementary school do you wish you could incorporate into your adult life? (i.e. naptime)
Art.  Finger painting used to be my favorite.  I remember when we poked lava with our hiking sticks in Hawaii and it smells just like finger paint believe it or not.  Took me right back to kindergarten!

What was the first concert you ever went to?  Rick Springfield.  (No, I've never seen this asked as a security question like people immediately say when you answer that question online.)

Do you have any crazy roommate stories?  My mom had to have a roommate she worked with when I was a teenager to make it with crappy child support.  The roommate was dating a guy who looked and acted like Sam Kinison.  (Sorry, I said dating, I meant affairing despite knowing my mom got cheated on.  Classy.)  Let's say, if I had been a smaller gal in my early teen years, things might've gone bad for me where he was concerned but I had no problem holding my own and telling my mom about it and he wasn't allowed in the house anymore. 

What is the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten for breakfast that is not a breakfast food?  Cold pizza?  Damn, I haven't done that in DECADES!

What’s the strangest family tradition in your family?  I don't feel like we have any strange traditions.  

What was your favorite item of clothing as a kid?  I had this pretty wine colored velvet shirt with a rhinestone heart on it.  I loved that thing.

Your turn!  Answer five or all of the questions.  I'll put them below so you can copy and paste easily.

  1. What are your favorite songs from your teenage years that you still rock out to? Anything from early Metallica and Iron Maiden. I used to love all kinds of other bands but can barely get into half of them now.

    Who was your childhood actor/actress crush? Teri Garr and Heather Locklear. I know that really dates me now.

    What’s your most embarrassing moment from your teen years? I was barely a teen yet but this counts. I was sitting in church with my entire class (not the whole school at least, thankfully) and this girl next to me was making me laugh and I farted. It sounded soo loud to me in the church that I was embarassed but also started laughing even harder to the point where I was honking loudly as I was laughing. The nuns came and took me out of the row I was in and escorted me straight to the... NURSE STATION. I couldn't beleive it. I thought for sure they knew I was laughing but turns out they thought I was having some sort of attack. The oddest part of all of this was that nobody said a word to me about it ever again. I just figured I got away with it so left it alone too.

    What’s the craziest dare you ever took? I dared myself to go down a huge hill on my skateboard. My friends all pulled it off but of course I fell about halfway down and got the worst road rash ever. It really is all about being confident when it comes to stuff like that.

    What’s the grossest food you ever had to eat to be polite? My aunt made some kind of pea soup once. She was attempting a chinese like dish, or so we thought at the time. It was so gross it tasted like hot soapy water with little strings of veggies in it and I never even remembered seeing any peas.

    What’s the worst thing you ever did as a kid — and got away with? I wouldn't still be getting away with it if I blabbed now would I?

    What’s the craziest fashion trend you ever rocked? Jamz. I wore Jamz all the time as a kid.

    What did you get into the most trouble for with your parents as a kid? Definitely grades

    What’s your silliest memory with your best friend? I was a little bit like Adam Goldberg with a betamax video camera. My friends and I would make commercial spoofs and our own little SNL style skits. Unlike Adam Goldberg I no longer have any of those tapes though. I think they were all on beta.

    What part of elementary school do you wish you could incorporate into your adult life? (i.e. naptime) I actually do incorporate naptime sometimes. I could also use recess!

    What was the first concert you ever went to? Bruce Hornsby. A friend of mine was going with his parents and begged me to go. I had a good time even if it wasn't my first choice in music. So then my first REAL concert was Dokken/Aerosmith.

    Do you have any crazy roommate stories? Never had any roomates.

    What is the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten for breakfast that is not a breakfast food? cold chinese food. Don't knock it til you... actually yeah, don't try it.

    What’s the strangest family tradition in your family? I suppose our full on lack of traditions.

    What was your favorite item of clothing as a kid? See Jamz comment above.

  2. Who was your childhood actor/actress crush? Ed Harris with his intense blue eyes.

    What’s your most embarrassing moment from your teen years? Too many to count. I REALLY made a fool out of myself as a teenager.

    What’s the grossest food you ever had to eat to be polite? Shark that my future in-laws prepared for my first dinner with them. It was horrible.

    What’s the craziest fashion trend you ever rocked? Turquoise Converse high tops, ripped jeans and really baggy sweaters, along with purple hair with one side cut really short.

    What was the first concert you ever went to? John Denver with my mom.

    Do you have any crazy roommate stories? My roommate decided to get busy with a neighbor on a whim and let him wrap her up in Saran Wrap whilst naked. That was the longest year...

    What is the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten for breakfast that is not a breakfast food? Cold soup. Still like it to this day, which is disgusting when I read it, but mighty tasty when I have it. ROFL
