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
