Drawing eyebrows with a Sharpie and other crazy things

1) Daily deal websites (like Groupon, LivingSocial, Seize the Deal, and even the pet-oriented DoggyLoot) are all the rage right now. Have you bought anything from any of those deal websites?
I haven't in about three months, I bought some food deals, and a dentist cleaning, used the food ones never made the appointment for the dentists though. My company offered a couple. I haven't seen anything I really want recently.

2) A former classmate of mine posted a Facebook status recently saying that she finally got her first "real world" job, to which I welcomed her to the hell of adulthood. She responded by saying, "Hell is being an adult and still having a part-time job at Old Navy!" How would you describe hell on earth?
Working at job, for a small marketing firm full of Assholes during the week in a small town and having to live with my parents, then escaping back to the city where friends are on the weekends. Did it for three months having a part time job is much better

3) Many people are doing their back-to-school shopping for their children or themselves right now. Did you have a favorite character/theme for your school supplies when you were in school? Or, do you like to have unique supplies (like the high heel shoe-shaped tape dispenser on my office desk) for your office/home today?
My favorite fictional character is Superman, but unless there's a movie, yay there is one coming soon, it is easier to find spiderman and batman stuff. Since I was homeschooled I didn't ever get a new lunch pail or backpack every year.

4) Speaking of office supplies, some people love using Sharpie markers to draw in eyebrows. What is your favorite use for a Sharpie?
Drawing things

5) Who is a celebrity you'd love to sit down and have a conversation with?
Darren King drummer from MuteMath

6) I recently discovered a list of 100 "crazy" things you should do before you die. (Click here to read.) What is something you think everyone should do before they die?
Visit a different country on a different continent


7) What is the worst job in the world?
Window cleaner on worlds tallest building

8) What television show's filming would you love to be in the audience watching?
Conan

9) Some people are annoyed when other people talk on cell phones while in line at a store. I discovered something even more annoying -- someone ahead of me paying for a case of beer with all pennies. When you've been behind someone in the checkout lane at a store, what is the most annoying thing a  person has done?
Taken 15 minutes to use 2 coupons and then couldn't figure out that she needed to hit credit instead of debit, after four times going through the whole thing the cashier finally took the card from her. Then she got all mad and called a manager over cause the cashier was rude, he was nice to her for the first twelve minutes then all he said was, "I think I can do it faster" So she won't get out of the way and is holding up the line even more. idiot!

10) I don't know if they really exist or not, but I heard a TV show talking about memory foam toilet seats. Do you think a toilet seat made from memory foam that shapes to your specific bottom sounds like a good idea?

No I don't like to remember anything that goes on in there

Rating your life and covering your toilet paper

1) Veterinarians always say people should not feed their leftover food to their pets, but one of my dogs has eaten people food for his entire 16 years of life and has no health issues. Do you feel it's okay to feed people food to pets or should you always follow the vet's instructions?

It's hard not to toss a bite or two to a dog waiting for a scrap of food. They don't seem to understand it when you are eating soup or something like ice cream, it's just not as easy to toss them liquids as it is a french fry.

2) Have you ever become addicted to a game (of any sort)? If so, what was it?

I used to play Tetris obsessively- until the batteries died in the original gameboy


3) This week is World Breastfeeding Week. Should women be able to breastfeed in public places (assuming their covered up)?

Yeah, I know it creeps people out, but I'm ok with it, but it is weird

4) It is National Clown Week. Because of my ex-husband, clowns freak me out. Have clowns ever scared you?

Yeah, especially after Steven Kings "It" I have had a nightmare where   clowns where found in nature, full sized but they acted like squirrels running along power-lines and and eating nuts, but there was always a chance they'd turn on you.   

5) If you became a spy and could pick anyone (living or dead, real or fictional) as your partner, who would it be?   Brain from Inspector Gadget


6) Last week my boyfriend told me this, "I get life philosophy from pop culture." Where do you (or did you) get the majority of your life philosophy?
I am in my head a lot, so all these idea are swirling around and sometimes, hearing something in a song, or movie, or on a television show will connect the dots. Recently I was talking to my therapist about relationships and he said when drama arises there are three roles that we subconsciously take on. The victim, the rescuer/hero, and the antagonist/persecutor. Whoever initiates the drama decides what role they are going to play. I feel most comfortable trying to be the hero, not that I fix everyone's problems, but I will give advice and encouragement. Tying this back in with philosophy and Pop culture, I was watching CBS's Big Brother and saw this triangle dynamic happening over and over again, specifically by Brendan and Rachel, but the other house guests do it too. With Brachel, they are always afraid of being the victim so they compete and if they win they become the persecutors, and hero, if they lose they are the victims and cry. So I have been trying to take a step back from these subconscious reactions, and ask myself what role am I playing. Why do I feel like a victim? Am I supposed to be a hero?

7) My local newspaper did a story over the weekend about stories taxi cab drivers hear while driving passengers. It was a "taxi cab confessions" type story. Have you ever had a deep conversation with a cab driver?
I don't take very many cab rides, once when some friends and I where on a Caribbean island we took a cab from one side of the island to another, and he decided to stop at his house for about 30 minutes, so that was a little sketchy, we were in the middle of the island off some dirt road, with rosters, and pigs.

8) Cottonelle has introduced a toilet paper cover. (Watch a TV commercial here.) Do you think toilet paper should be hidden or is it okay for people to see it "naked" in your bathroom?
Naked

9) The Food Network's show "Meat & Potatoes" is rated "M" for "Meat." Many movies are rated "PG" for "Parental Guidance." Some video games are rated "E" for "Everyone." What is your life rated?
WTF

10) What was a quick decision you once made that changed your life?
I usually get stuck thinking about big decisions for a long time. If it is something that I know will have an effect down the road I usually try and weight all the options. I choose my major in college Fine Art and stuck with it for four years then went back to school a few years later for some graphic design, choosing Graphic Design from the start was an option but it looked harder, wish I would've done it though

Walking into a Febreze-scented '90s sitcom

1) Be totally honest... Could money buy you happiness (even if it's only for a little while)?



Yes, but I am sure there are things I would still want to complain about.

2) Today (July 29) is "National Lasagna Day." What is your pasta dish of choice? If you like lasagna, are you a traditional lasagna type of person or are you into the vegetarian kind with eggplant instead of noodles?
I like almost any kind of pasta, don't really like vegetable substitutes. I like Garfield!

3) How do you feel about people who get permanent makeup (lipstick, eyeshadow, etc. tattooed on the face so the person never has to actually put on makeup again)?
I don't really like any tatoos, I don't feel strongly enough about any images to get them tatooed, don't feel strongly enough about any type of make up either

4) The Nickelodeon company has reintroduced its hit teen sitcoms from the '90s (like "All That," "Kenan & Kel," "Clarissa Explains It All," and "Doug") on its TeenNick channel and has broke ratings records doing it. It has also sent the Twitter trending topics into a TeenNick frenzy. Is it too soon to be bringing back the '90s?
I never watched those shows in the 90's didn't have cable. almost every Nickelodeon actors/actress annoys me.

5) Some women go totally insane for men in uniforms and vice versa. How do you feel about people in uniform?
I hope the science fiction people are wrong, in most sci fi movies everyone is in a uniform. I don't like putting on clothes that someone else has picked out. I wear whatever is the most comfortable thing I can get away with. I don't like playing on sports teams either for that reason. In Major League Baseball the managers still wear uniforms it looks a little silly to have 60 year old coach waving his arms at third base dressed in a uniform.

6) When you go to a movie theater, what food/drink items do you get from the concession stand?
Rarely get anything, every once an a while a drink. Everything is too expensive.

7) My entire refrigerator/freezer is covered in magnets. What kind of magnets are on yours? Superman, and Batman

8) A recent report by the Center for Science in the Public Interest says Cheesecake Factory's Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake contains 1,540 calories and 59 grams of saturated fat, but Saturday (July 30) is "National Cheesecake Day." Are the calories and fat grams worth the tastiness of cheesecake?

I'd rather have a brownie

9) Febreze has started a new ad campaign in which they blindfold people and take them into a dirty disgusting room which has been sprayed down with Febreze. When the blindfolds come off, the people are shocked at their surroundings. (Watch a commercial here.) Would you be mad if you signed up to star in a commercial only to find yourself sitting in a room of complete filth?

I don't believe commercials. The recent Wendy's commercial, of someone going to Wendy's website and saying I want a Frosty at the Beach, or My town has lots of berries make a frozen treat and celebrate it in my town are so fake

10) Do you think hair shampoo and conditioner bottles really need to have directions?
It makes interesting reading, when you forgot to bring something else to read.

Smurfs wearing ripped jeans

1) One of my favorite TV shows recently changed the actors who played two characters. Have you ever been bothered by a TV show or movie series changing actors who play a character you love?



I prefer continuous continuity. I was not a huge fan of the show, but I remember when they replaced Colleen, on Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. I liked the first one better.

2) Who do you feel is the most influential person of your generation in terms of music?
I am not exactly sure what music genre or generation I identify with most, Rock Music probably Kurt Cobain, there were a lot of things going on at the same time, but Cobain is credited with breaking the mold from the Hair bands. I still listen to "alternative rock" bands and some of those early 90's cds are the best. It's hard to nail down one person cause each band was influenced by the ones who came before.  

3) A coworker recently shared a link to a blog listing the "five things you should know before dating a journalist." As a journalist, I can honestly say the writer was spot-on. What are some things people should know before spending time with you?

I am an artist/graphic designer=
1. At some point each day you will be asked to validate how creative I am

2. I will ask your opinion about fonts or ad design. ie "Do you like the target ads that have the new % design, they don't have the hole in the middle, where are the doughnut holes?"
3. You will be expected to have a passable knowledge of Superheros, specifically Superman
4. You can expect me to start half of my sentences with "So I was listening to NPR..., or I was listening to that podcast..."
5. I like brownies and cookies, if you have either of those I will be your friend

4) What is your opinion of denim jeans that are sold with pre-made rips and fading?
Like the fading, rips, don't give a rip

5) The United States Postal Service has announced a proposal to close many of its rural post offices. Are you someone who still goes to a post office? Would it upset you if your post office closed?
I don't like getting mail or going to the post office. It would upset my grandfather greatly. Whenever he goes to a new town, one of the first things he does is find out where the post office is. If you are driving with him, he will point out the post office to you, so that if you need to find him, you will know where to go.

6) What is something you often do without realizing that you're doing it?
Breath

7) Go to Urban Dictionary (click here), type in your first name, and paste one or two of your favorite definitions. The funnier the better.


The ancient Egyptian god of chaos, the embodiment of hostility and even of outright evil. He is also a god of war, deserts, storms, and foreign lands. As the god of deserts he protects the caravans which travel through the desert, but he also causes sandstorms which bring him into conflict with the fertility god Osiris. The two are adversaries and in the Osiris myths, Seth killed his brother and scattered the remains all over Egypt. Seth belongs to the Ennead of Heliopolis and is the son of Geb and Nut (or Re and Nut). He is the brother of Osiris, Isis, and Nephthys, who is sometimes given as his consort, although Seth is more commonly associated with the foreign, Semitic goddesses Astarte and Anat. During the 3rd millenium BCE Seth replaced Horus as the tutelary deity of the pharaohs, but the story of Osiris' murder gained currency and Horus was restored to his original status. The war that followed lasted eighty years, during which Seth tore out Horus' left eye and Horus tore off Seth's foreleg and testicles. Eventually, Horus emerged victorious, or was deemed the victor by the council of the gods, and thus became the rightful ruler of the kingdoms of Lower and Upper Egypt. Seth was forced to return the eye of Horus and was either castrated or killed. In other versions he went to live with the sungod Re, where he became the voice of thunder. In the Book of the Dead, Seth is called "Lord of the Northern Sky" and is held responsible for storms and cloudy weather.

Despite his reputation, Seth has some good characteristics. He protects the sun barge of Re during its nightly journey through the underworld and he fights the snake-like monster Apep. On the other hand, he was a peril for ordinary Egyptians in the underworld, where he was said to seize the souls of the unwary.

Seth was portrayed as a man with the head of undeterminable origin, although some see in it the head of an aardvark. He had a curved snout, erect square-tipped ears and a long forked tail. He was sometimes entirely in animal form with the body similar to that of a greyhound. Animals sacred to this god where the dog, the jackal, the gazelle, the donkey, the crocodile, the hippopotamus, and the pig. There was an important sanctuary at Ombos in Upper Egypt, his reputed birthplace, and considered to be the home of his cult. This cult was also prominent in the north-eastern region of the Nile delta. The Greeks equated him with their Typhon.

Seth A true gentleman. Chivalry is not dead! Not only are Seths super sexy, but they will also engage you intellectually. Tired of idiot guys who cant even read? Well with a Seth, you wont run into that. Seths have been reffered to as "sexual creatures", and for good reason. A Seth could be txting you and make you crave them...just IMAGINE what his touch would do! Seth's are the Prince Charming's of the world and will sweep their princess's off their feet. Exceptionally loyal, and a great listener, a Seth is a good friend to keep. They will be there for you, listen to you, and relax you with their sexy soothing voices. If your lucky enough to find one of these rare and amazing men, hang on to him!! "OMG girl, Hes so sweet and loyal! Hes gota be a Seth. Can I have him" "NO! mine!...Forever..back off" =P     Seth is the person who is one of the craziest, happy, smart, and amazing guy you will ever meet. With just a few words and a couple of funny jokes, Seth will make you feel very good about yourself,no matter what kind of day you are having. Dude Seth totally made my day today.

8) The "Smurfs" movie hits U.S. theaters tomorrow, and I want to know ... if you were a Smurf, what would your name be?







Painter Smurf

9) With temperatures running above 100 degrees every day in my area, this topic has come up several times for me lately. Would you consider getting Botox injections to your armpits to decrease sweating?



No sounds painful, I don't like Botox anything

10) I spent a couple hours Wednesday night hiccuping. What is your remedy to cure the hiccups? Everyone always has a different solution and none of them work for me.
I breathe really really really deep, calming myself down, after one or two more hiccups they are gone! Been working for me for years.

Wednesday questions and answers

Wednesday, July 27, 2011

Ehh, what's up with you?

1) CBS debuted a show titled "Same Name" over the weekend which has famous people (including David Hasselhoff, Kathy Griffin, and Reggie Bush) switch places with everyday people with the same name. Do you share the same name with some famous person?


No, but I used to live in a small town and the local grocery store owners name was the same as my last name, and his wife's name was the same as my Mom's name, so the cashiers where always extra nice to her when she was in line... Some may say that doesn't count as a celebrity, but I think it do!

2) If you do have (or theoretically if you did have) the same name as a celebrity, would you trade places with the celebrity for a while for a television show?

As long as said celebrity wasn't in jail or congress or something...

3) Today (July 27) is Bugs Bunny's 71st birthday. What should he do to celebrate his birthday?


Go to Six Flags and celebrate with all his friends in their furry costumes. Marvin the Martian is my favorite

8) Who is another celebrity you feel died too young?
Jimi Hendrix, Heath Ledger

9) If you had the power to decide people's fates, would you consider it a blessing or a curse and why?
Curse, I don't like deciding anything involving other people. In the past whenever I have tried to get my friends together for night out, it is such a hassle figuring out a place to meet and then what are we going to do. I don't do that anymore. If you want to hang out with me tell me where you will be and I may show up.

10) Wanting to go to a taxidermist to get your dead dog/cat stuffed -- normal or creepy?
CREEPY. I am not a huge fan of mounted animals, there are some cabins that a big Moose fits but not in my home, and not any of my pets.

Harry Potter ends while the media ignores other important topics

1) Who has the capacity to make you angrier than anyone else in your life, and what in particular does he or she do to make you so angry?

I am usually pretty good about keeping my anger in check, I will complain about bad drivers or annoying people in the grocery store, but try to keep a check on my emotions. I get frustrated with my fiance, when I know something is wrong, but she won't talk to me-I'm trying to work on that.

2) If you could mix three animals together, which ones would you choose to make the ultimate animal? 

A Giraffe a bumble bee and a goat a "Bumble Giraote"

  3) What is the last thing you regret buying?

The Super Fancy Deluxe 2000 Bumble Giraote Cage, Barney doesn't like it!

4) The final "Harry Potter" movie opened in theaters across the United States today. Did you attend a midnight showing overnight or do you plan to see the movie in a theater at some point in the future?

Didn't see it yet, want to go, but having a hard time finding nerdy enough friends to go with. I am the nerdiest of my group, or so it seems there could be some closet nerds...

5) Some people have made the "Harry Potter" series a large part of their lives and are now depressed that the series is coming to its end. What is your take on the "Harry Potter" phenomenon overall? Are you a fan or do you not even care about the series at all?

I enjoyed the books,re-read them, (the whole series every year) have thought about trying to make up a Sunday School book, that is called "Harry Potter taught me how to be a better Christian" I don't think it would go over well.

6) What topic does not receive as much mainstream media coverage as it should?

Controversial trials and juries, oh, wait, there is too much of that. Ummm there is pretty much a tv show or special about almost everything, how about Hydraulic Fracturing, I live in Oklahoma, and there are a lot of companies and politicians all for it $$$$$, but there are also some serious concerns with water contamination etc.


7) Did you ever keep a journal? What types of things did you write in your journal? Was it just written words or did you make drawings in it?

I have a lot of drawing books that are visual journals I would occasionally write in them, but not much. I had a friend go on a mission trip to Albania for a year, and I gave him a book and I kept one and said at the end of the year when he came back we would exchange them, that was cool, he wrote some stuff and did some drawings. Not to brag, but I filled up every page front and back with wonderful art, that will be in a museum one day.

8) What non-banking related card in your wallet/purse is the most valuable to you (library card, store loyalty card, business card, etc.)?

Insurance cards health and car

Mass Chalice Teeth or The these Acclaim

10) Do you remember any of your recent dreams? Tell me about one (the weirder the better)

I was going to an event at a church that I grew up at, but have not attended for about 10 years. I was anxious cause I was suppose to be preparing a talk for the youth, I kept running into people and they where asking me all these weird questions. Then a little toddler walked up to me and held up his arms like he wanted to be picked up. He said swing me, so I grabbed his arms and he swung back and forth. It wasn't till I woke up a little later, that I realized how weird it was that the little toddler had a full mustache and spoke with a thick Hispanic accent

Your life in thought bubbles

1) If a fairy waved a magic wand and gave you the house of your dreams, where would it be and what features would it have?

The house would be in Austria, but I would have a portal-doorway that could take me to any place in the world instantly and a pocket portal to get back home. So I could life in the alps but still work or visit my friends and family easily. It would have house stuff, probably a room with a fire pit, and a hot tub and it would be cool to have adult sized versions of a play place, like a 5 foot deep ball pit

2) If you woke up as a member of the opposite gender, what would be the first thing you'd do?

Explore a little but make an appointment to see my doctor, Do you think insurance cover that visit?

3) Today (July 14) is National Nude Day. Will you celebrate by sleeping in the nude or do you sleep wearing some sort of garments?

I usually sleep naked

4) How would your life change if all your thoughts were displayed in thought bubbles above your head like in comics?

It depends on what kind of comic book it was there may be a lot of thought baloons with !&*@#$.

5) If a new medicine were developed that would cure HIV/AIDS, but cause a fatal reaction in one percent of those who took it, would you want it to be released to the public?

Yes, but that doesn't mean I would change the way I view sex, I think it is something that should be shared between a monogamous couple.

6) What would you do if you made some type of a mistake and somebody died as a result of your mistake?
I would report it and face the consequences, I would feel awful about it, when I make little mistakes at work, I get real down on myself. Couldn't imagine making a fatal mistake, I do my best not to put myself in those type situations.

7) If you were a geometric shape what would you like to be? I like the word Rhombus

8) What is something you would never do as a guest in someone else's house?

I wouldn't put my shoes on their couch other than that I would make myself at home.

9) How do you feel about women using their bras as pockets to hold money or keys or cell phones or other things?

It's weird

10) What’s a belief that you hold with which many people disagree? I am a christian, but there are some moral issue/ human rights issues, like gay marriage that I don't agree with the majority of Christians on. I like to keep an open mind to different arguments I can see valid points on both sides of a lot of issues. I have  personal beliefs, but I do not think they should apply to everyone. I personally don't want anything to do with guns, other than playing xbox, but I know lots of people that have one or more guns.

 Horrible bosses, voodoo dolls, and pregnancy bellies. Oh my!

1) We all have inner demons of some sort. Would you love to read your inner demon's very personal diary? 

????? Do demon's know how to read and write? did they go to demon school? 

2) The movie "Horrible Bosses" opened across the U.S. last week. The movie follows friends who plan to kill their horrible bosses. If your boss appeared in a movie, what kind of character would he or she play? 

I like my boss, he is the best one I have ever had, but it does require a lot of patience dealing with his requests sometimes.  

3) I clicked on a random online quote generator the other day, and it said: "Cake is actually God in disguise, you know." What would you say is God (or Satan, if you're feeling wacky) in disguise?

According to M. Night Shyamalan the devil is some guy on an elevator or something, I don't know I didn't watch it, I like Sixth Sense but after Signs I have refused to watch any of his movies because they are terrible.

God is everywhere, so I don't think he isn't disguised we just don't pay attention to him.

4) If you moved to Sesame Street, who would you want as your neighbor? Why? 

I always liked Grover, and if you were in trouble Super Grover could help or crash near you. I thought about Cookie Moster, but the problem with Cookie Monster is you would probably get ants cause of all the crumbs he drops, cause he just has a mouth, he doesn't swallow.

5) What is a song that you secretly like but won't normally admit to liking and will only sing/dance to in private?

I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my handle [one hand on hip], here is my spout [other arm out straight]
When I get all steamed up, hear me shout
Just tip me over and pour me out!
[as song ends, lean over and tip arm out like a spout] 

 6) Even the most lazy slackers are anal-retentive about something. What are you anal-retentive about?

The desktop on my computer, I like to have everything in folders

7) My mom's always griping about how nothing in her home matches. Do you prefer to have the items in your house (furniture, appliances, dishes, etc.) match or do you like to mix-match?

If I had a ton of money I would buy matching things but i don't so mix-and match is good, I like my art to fit with each other thematically or color palette. I had all black and white pics in my living room for a long time and all pop culture stuff in my room...I know it will change when I get married, I just hope to get one room for my art.

8) People who visit my home often comment on the fact that I have a voodoo kit on my living room's bookshelf. Assuming it would actually work... if you could use a voodoo doll to hurt anyone you chose, would you?

On certain days yes, I wouldn't want to torture anyone just give them a little poke

9) If you could win an award for something you do or have done in the past, what kind of award would you win?

Obsessive Compulsive TV watcher

10) My sister-in-law is eight months pregnant and mailed me a thank you card for a baby gift. The card included a photo of her and her naked, exposed pregnant belly. It creeped me out. Does it bother you to see someone's naked pregnancy belly exposed?

It isn't my favorite thing to look at, but in an artistic black and white photograph it can look nice but I don't enjoy seeing a pregnant belly extruded from a shirt that is way to small bouncing at me in Wal-Mart
