Thank you again to both Jennifer at MyPurpleyLife and Carla at Fridays, I’m in Love for nominating me for this award. I love both of your blogs, and if it weren’t for the tag back rule, you guys would definitely make my list. Anyway, I know I say it all the time, but I started this blog mainly for myself, and never really expected it to go anywhere. It’s pretty rewarding to know people actually read it, enjoy it, and know I’m not just rambling to myself, so thank you to all my readers. You guys rock.

Now what to do when you’re nominated by two people? Do you answer both sets of questions? I have no idea but that’s what I’ll do because I like questions.

This first set was asked by Jennifer at MyPurpleyLife:

1. If you were stuck on a deserted island and could only eat one thing, what would it be?

-I absolutely love fruit. Apples or strawberries would probably be my first pick though.

2. If you were a color, what would it be?

-One look at me, and you’d probably say pink. I’m always wearing at least one thing pink without even trying.

3. If you were an actor/actress, who would you be?

– I would love to be Mila Kunis. She’s adorable, funny, a bit sexy, and still manages to have a good personality. {This interview was priceless.}

4. Who is you favorite singer/band?

-I don’t really have one. I never have actually. I like such an eclectic mix of music that it is too hard to say which one I like more. I’ve always been a fan of Breaking Benjamin though.

5. What musical instrument did you wish you could play?

-The guitar. I sort of taught myself how to play piano by ear, but the instrument I never managed to pick up was guitar. Mine just sits in my closet.

6. What are your favorite pizza toppings?

-Hawaiian pizza is my absolute favorite, but a lot of people don’t like it, so my go-to pick is Pepperoni.

7. What is your favorite quote/saying?

“A piece of fruit never made anyone fat.” -Tone It Up –  I heard this in one of their videos and it made me laugh for some reason. Some of my family members always seem to be on diets, and when they list all the foods they’ve cut out of their diet including fruit, I wonder what else is left.

8. What is your favorite season (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall)?

I absolutely love Spring weather. The colors and baby animals are pretty sweet too. The pollen this year is killing it for me though. Summer is a close second though. The cold and I don’t get along.
9. What color is your car? (If you don’t have one, what color do you wish it was?) 

Right now it’s a lovely shade of greenish yellow – Thank you, pollen. When it’s clean, it’s black. In the future, I think I’ll avoid black and go with either a white or a grey metallic though. I can deal with the heat, but living on dirt road and having a black car don’t work out too well.

10. Where would your dream house be?

I would love a house in the mountains. Some place I can walk outside and enjoy nature away from the chaos. Of course, it’d have to be close enough to everything. I’m not driving an hour to the closest store.

11. What is your favorite scent?

Believe it or not, I cannot smell things. If I can smell things, I can’t form the associations between the scents and what caused them. One time I walked downstairs and asked if we were having pasta for dinner. I was super excited because I could smell it, but no, we were having barbecue chicken.

And here’s Carla’s questions from Friday, I’m in Love:

1. If you had $5,000.00, what would you spend it on?

– First is get rid of the last little bit of credit debt. I’d split the rest 50/50 between savings and fun money.

2. If you closed your eyes, right now, and could magically travel to anywhere in the world, where would it be?

– I’d love to go to Europe. I’m not sure what my obsession is lately because normally I’d pick a more tropical location.

3. What would you say is your talent?

– I have strange animal whisperer abilities. Seriously, my friend had a cat that HATED people. When I moved in, he practically lived in my room. He even let me cut his nails like it was nothing.

4. Describe a perfect Sunday afternoon.

– My Sunday afternoons are usually comprised of laundry, laundry, and more laundry. How one person accumulates so much laundry over one week is beyond me, but any Sunday that didn’t involve laundry (and maybe Starbucks instead, would be wonderful.)

5. How do you like your eggs?

My dad used to make me “Egg-in-a-hole”s when I was little. They were delicious. Otherwise I prefer a cheese omelets. I’m not a big fan of just plain eggs.

6. If you could paint the room you’re in right now, what color would you pick?

– Well my office is glass. The library that my office is in is a lovely combination of beige, mauve, and green. I’m not sure what people were thinking with that color choice., but I’d love to just paint it something bright and lively.

7. What was your favorite childhood toy/game?

– Cooties was my favorite. Although a few years back, I actually went and bought the game. It definitely wasn’t as fun as I remembered.

8. If you could eat a particular dish/type of food for the rest of your life, what would that dish/type of food be?

Fruit.

9. If you had an invisibility cloak that made you invisible when worn, what would you use it for?

I would totally sneak around the house and mess with my pets. Maybe move some things around and freak them out a bit.

10. If you could be any character in any movie/book, who would that character be, and why?

– Hermione from Harry Potter. She’s incredibly smart, and she gets to go on really cool adventures.

11. Describe your ideal Summer vacation (money is no object here…).

– I have this dream to just spend an entire summer at the beach. I think I’d fit in pretty well, and maybe I’d get a tan.
