Super-TAG

I was tagged, days ago, by Darron. This has got to be the longest tag I've ever done. Thanks, Darron...I owe ya one!

Part One: 15 random things about me

1. I've never had a broken bone. (Thank goodness.)

2. Although I'm not superstitious in the traditional sense, I don't like calling attention to the blessings in my life, for fear something bad will happen.

3. I was a Girl Scout from Brownies through Seniors. That's second grade through twelfth.

4. I was a Girl Scout Leader for three years.

5. Even after all that scouting & camping, I probably couldn't light a fire & keep it lit, if my life depended on it.

6. I was voted "Miss Sweet & Shy" my first two years of High School.

7. I took organ lessons for seven years, played in recitals, & even performed at a local restaurant.

8. I couldn't figure out word problems in Math class to save my soul, but I LOVE doing the Logic Problems in the Crossword books.

9. My ex & I "studied" with Jehovah's Witnesses off & on for 11 years.

10. I visited Mexico City when my cousin got married, & a group of us took a VW van ride to Acapulco with a few of my cousin's friends from the area....that was a cool time!

11. I have a huge pen fetish. I have more pens than I will ever use in a lifetime!

12. I love playing board games & cards, especially Pinochle.

13. I tried the Quija board with my son, & it eerily spelled things out. He refuses to try it with me again.

14. I have two friends (that don't know each other) here on Myspace, that live in a NJ city that my family lives in, & it isn't a big city, like Trenton. What are the odds?

15. I can fall asleep anywhere & anytime. This doesn't fare well when you're driving home in afternoon traffic.

Part II: 10 messages to anonymous friends:

1. I hope your goals come to fruition soon. You deserve it.

2. I'm glad you appeared....I like hearing from you.

3. If we were to meet IRL, I think we'd chat like we'd been friends for years!

4. We would have a wild time together IRL....with lots of laughing (& drinking).

5. Don't try so hard.

6. Never settle for the comfort zone.

7. I hope the hard decisions you're making are truly going to bring you happiness, with no regrets.

8. I miss you being around.

9. Keep your sense of humor always.

10. Don't get caught up in the control of another.

Double the trouble....double the fun?

For some reason, I volunteered to be interviewed by both Eightezchic and Darron. Double the trouble, no doubt! I'm combining their interviews into one blog. Now you have more than enough information about Char, I'd say!

Jackie's Interview:

(1) How long have you been on myspace? Since June, 2005. I didn't really interact until March of 2006, when I started joining blog groups.

(2) Like me, I see you are divorced. Would you marry again? I'm not against the idea of marrying again, but this time I would have to know he's "the one".

(3) Have you ever met anybody from myspace in person (not counting people u actually know) I have met someone from Myspace, not having known him IRL beforehand.

(4) What do you do for a living? I remember you saying you work on weekends, doing what? I work my first job in an office doing everything but payables, & my second job is at Red Lobster...as Alley Coordinator & Kitchen Production. That about takes up all of my free time!

(5) I notice that you, like me, love the sexy pics, clothes, etc.
We go on a shopping spree to Victoria Secret. What are we buying? We're getting something lacy, & girly, &.....black, I think....babydolls. (For this trip...next time, pink!)

Darron's Interview:

1. What's the most difficult part about 'dating' right now for a person in your age bracket? My "age bracket"?? Pffft....you're only as old as you feel....and I don't USUALLY feel my age, thank you! The most difficult part is finding someone that we truly enjoy, & will meet our expectations, rather than just going out for the sake of going out with a warm body.

2. Why do you choose creative artwork as your default picture instead of pictures of you and your family? Honestly, we don't have pictures of all of us together! I don't like the pics of me I do have, & get tired of seeing myself everywhere I go. I'd rather look at angels or creative artwork.

3. You are stuck on an island and can only bring an iPod loaded with one artist on it. Who do you bring? Easy, easy!! Barry Manilow. Not only is he my favorite singer, BUT...he sings all different genres, so I won't get bored with the same type of songs!

4. What are your thoughts on flirting through myspace, and do you feel people use it to stalk people? LOL...is this a trick question? I think online flirting is easier. In most cases, you probably won't meet, so why not enjoy the other's personality? IRL, flirting can be misleading, if the other wants to pursue more, whereas you don't have that complication online.

5. What advice would you give to men on myspace to make the proper impression on women on myspace? I would say that men come on too strong & too bluntly. They should get to know the personality, & actually pay attention.

That's it....phew....I'm done!

Now, to interview those that volunteered....Stam, Arris, Eightezchic, Scotty, Gordo, & Darron.

Voluntarily Interviewed by a Psycho...

My friend, LOGICAL PSYCHO, wrote a blog having been interviewed. I like challenges, so I asked to be interviewed by him. The rules follow below.....c'mon, participate...it'll be fun!

1. You're an avid blog reader; what genre of blogs interests you most,and why? I like all types of blogs, but I really like ones that involve thoughts....religion, philosophy, politics....all the subjects that people don't like to give opinions on....lol

2. What is your favorite hobby? I love to research my genealogy, but it takes a lot of time to concentrate on it, which is why I haven't gotten back into it in a while.

3. If you had the opportunity to meet Shawn Michaels,what would you say to him? You mean, I'd have to speak?? If I could find my voice (& stop drooling), I'd probably babble something stupid about liking his moves.....WRESTLING moves....perverts!

4. Do you believe in astrology,and all that goes with it? I haven't really looked into it much, until lately, but I find it interesting that the description of signs come eerily close to how people really are. My description comes awfully close, though not perfect, as to who I am. I'd actually be interested in learning more spiritual thinking.

5. Will you be my closest friend forever? You have to ask? Of course, as long as you'll have me.
