1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
I have a scar on my left thigh that's really ugly. I was four and was playing on a car while it was being washed in the driveway, slipped, and sliced my leg open on the license plate. I never got stitches, which I'm annoyed at. If I had, I wouldn't have this ugly thing. Ah well.
2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
A Jack Vettriano print called "The Singing Butler" custom framed as a Christmas gift (thanks mom and dad), two candle holders, and two framed pictures of Peter and me. We're HUGE fans of Jack's. I also have his "Dance Me to the End of Love", "Back Where You Belong", and "The Billy Boys".
3. WHAT DOES YOUR CELL PHONE LOOK LIKE?
I always thought it was blue, since I got it, but a few days ago I just realized that it was the silly plastic protective sticker they put on there. I've had it since January, and just realized it's a nice grey color. Who knew? Not me, I'm a dork.
4. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO?
Right now I'm listening to Corrine Bailie Ray's "Girl Put Your Records On", David Gray's "This Year's Love", and Augustana's "Boston". That's not really extensive, but maybe I'll do a music blog soon with links to all my latest favorites.
5. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?
Maybe about 2:30pm?
6. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?
This house
7. WHAT DO YOU MISS AT TIMES?
Being single and living alone, and being able to unplug my phone and sit home all day long with a book and a bottle of wine and some Dave Matthew's Band, sitting in my bathtub with a million candles, dreaming of some amazing guy who was going to sweep me off my feet.
8. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION?
My pictures and journals from my trips.
9. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SMELL?
Peter's cologne. It's from Fruits and Passions and is called Ulysse
10. DO YOU GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC?
Occasionally. Sometimes when I just can't get away from people and be by myself I just want to get lost for a little bit. Honestly, I feel claustrophobic when I don't travel. Sitting in one country, one little town, drives me insane. I start to dream about plane tickets, and feel like I'm going to go crazy sitting in one place. I feel that way when I can't see trees and mountains or ocean...Weird that being in big open spaces makes me feel claustrophobic.
11. IF YOU DIED TOMORROW?
Geez! Don't be so morbid. I'd pray for more time. I'm not done here yet.
12. THE LAST PERSON WHO MADE YOU CRY?
My stupid freaking girlie hormones. Poor Peter, there was worry that it was him, but no, just the hormones. Blast and wretch! Being a girl sucks fish.
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PERFUME?
I'm addicted to perfume. I currently have Alfred Sung's "Bai" and "Shi", Hugo Boss "Deep Red", Max Azria's "Sexy", Lancome's "Noa", DKNY's "Be Delicious", Fruits and Passions "Human" and "Geisha" and Ralph Lauren's "Romance". I have a few more on my wish list, but my favorite changes with my mood. Tomorrow, I may go buy "Magnolia Blossm" from Bath and Body works, cause it's cheap and smells incredible.
14. WHAT KIND OF HAIR DO YOU LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SEX?
Brunette (can a guy be a brunette as the "ette" is feminine?), curly and long, but not too long. I love Peter's hair, I love Orlando Bloom's hair (NOT Legolas, more Elizabethtown), Matthew McConaughey's hair is really pretty. The link for that last page is for my mom...he he he...
15. WHERE CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF BEING PROPOSED TO AT?
The lookout over Little Qualicum Falls, with a million candles and rose petals and a gorgeous dark haired boy holding a really pretty diamond, or a twist tie.
16. DO YOU LIKE PORN?
Nope. I can't believe there was a time in history where they burned fine literature in the streets, and this stuff is allowed to be sold in gas stations and disguised as novels, ie: Harlequin Romance (aka - porn for lonely women)
17. WHO IS THE LAST PERSON YOU MADE MAD?
Crap. I likely don't know. As previously established, I have a habit of sticking my foot in my mouth and not noticing until it's too late. Someone, somewhere is likely pissed off at me at any given time. There should be a 12 step program for people like me.
20. DO YOU SPEAK A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE?
Nope, not fluently. I speak more Japanese than any language other than English, and I can ask where the bathroom is in about 5 languages, which is second in the "what to learn to say before you go" list to "No thank you, I'm full".
***Hey, where are questions 18 and 19? This is now 102 questions. Ha ha, can't pull the wool over my eyes***
21. WHAT WAS THE FIRST GIFT SOMEONE EVER GAVE YOU?
No idea, but my Grandma made me a baby blanket, which I still have.
28. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING?
Peter signed a contract stating that I get to come along. Works out well for me.
***And questions 22-27?!? Okay, now we're down to 96 questions***
29. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TELL SOMEONE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU?
By not just shooting off your mouth, but actually living as though they do mean as much to you as you say. Jewelery or perfume works too.
30. SAY A NUMBER FROM ONE TO A HUNDRED:
Okay...done.
31. BLONDES, REDHEADS OR BRUNETTES?
I don't know what this is asking, but I wished for, and attempted with many boxed dyes, to be a strawberry blonde. The closest I came was the color of a ripe peach, with big blonde streaks. I cried for a long time.
32. WHAT IS ONE NUMBER YOU CALL OFTEN?
My parents.
33. WHAT ANNOYS YOU MOST?
Click here
34. HAVE YOU EVER DONE A PRANK CALL?
Yep, and have even showed up at my mom's front door, dressed like a boy, trying to sell MC Hammer tapes. Ask my mom to see pictures. It's her fault that she cut my hair like that.
39. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU FILLED THIS OUT?
Eating olive tapenade and reading a book
***Okay four more questions missing. We're down to 92 questions. I wonder if they were there, and Angie deleted them? If so, what were they asking?***
40. IF YOU COULD GET PLASTIC SURGERY, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I'd like less thighs and love handles. Apparently, even when I was a scrawny little kid I had love handles...not sure if they're ever going to go away, but I'm trying. Stupid oblique machine...ouch.
41. WHY DID YOU FILL OUT THIS SURVEY?
Shameless self promotion
42. WHAT DO YOU LIKE ON YOUR PIZZA?
Pepperoni, Ham, Salami, Bacon, Mushrooms, Pineapple, Feta. No freaky sauces please.
43. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF ALCOHOL BECAME ILLEGAL?
Stockpile wine. Everything else I could live without. And I'd comfort my mother who would have to find something to drink other than Smirnoff Ice.
44. WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?
A weekend away with Peter, a really nice dinner out, maybe some new perfume or jewlery or a book. Maybe a pony, can I have a pony? This one, I want this one. Watch this link a little while, the picture changes.
45. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF IT SUDDENLY STARTED RAINING BLOOD?
Stay inside.
46. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Nope, but my first born son will be named after Peter's grandpa who killed a man eating tiger in India, to defend his family and their village. True story. I think that deserves people being named in your honor.
47. DO YOU WISH ON STARS?
Yep. I've seen more falling stars than any one person deserves to see in their lifetime. You see them a lot in Hawaii, just because there's nothing for 2500 miles in any direction.
48. WHICH FINGER[S] IS YOUR FAVORITE?
I don't like my fingers or hands. I have little girl hands. They look like they should have bubble gum pink nail polish on their little pathetic nails...sigh.
49. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY?
Last night. I was laying next to Peter and he was falling asleep and I was just so happy I cried. Yeah, I know...
50. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
I spend hours writing for the simple purpose of making it look as pretty as I can. When my wedding invites went out, no one was allowed to help me write the addresses on them. I'd make Peter a new signature if I could, I'm completely obsessive about this. Poor guy. For a guy, he isn't even doing that bad. Yep, I love my handwriting.
51. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
For some reason, I have been craving a baloney and mustard sandwich. I love pizza sandwiches, they're comfort food for me.
52. ANY BAD HABITS?
What do you think? See answer 17.
53. WHAT IS YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING CD ON THE SHELF?
I like country. That's all I'm going to say about that.
54. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
Yeah, I think so. It may take me a bit though to warm up to me, what with all the unintentional insults, talking too much, and being so opinionated.
55. HAVE YOU EVER TOLD A SECRET YOU SWORE NOT TO TELL?
Yep. Don't tell me your secrets. I hate them, I usually tell. Sorry.
56. DO LOOKS MATTER?
Not as much as some things, but yeah, they do.
57. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER?
I get in my car and yell every nasty thing I wish I could have said. That is, if I've had the self control to not say all the things I would say in my car. Don't count on it though.
58. WHAT IS YOUR SECOND HOME?
Probably my parents house, or Hawaii.
59. DO YOU TRUST OTHERS EASILY?
Yes I do. Sometimes it's dumb, but I'd rather be gullible than cynical.
60. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY AS A CHILD?
The Easy Bake Oven. It may have been the Oopsie Daisy Doll if I'd had more than three days to enjoy it before Shawn snapped its head off.
61. WHAT CLASS IN SCHOOL DO YOU THINK IS TOTALLY USELESS?
I think it's useless that kids now, don't know how to tell time on a clock, or look up something in a phone book, or read a road map or atlas. Why don't they teach crap like that in school anymore? I think sex ed is useless. I'm sorry, but watching a live birth video when you're a guy in sixth grade, or putting a condom on a banana for a girl, is pretty freaking useless. If the guy you're sleeping with at 11 years old can't put on a condom by himself, or the girl you're getting pregnant at 11 expects you to be the one to carry the baby, maybe you shouldn't be having sex at all hmm?
62. DO YOU HAVE A JOURNAL?
I'm currently working on three actually. This would be one.
63. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
What the heck do you think?
64. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A MOSH PIT?
Yep. Not a good time really. What's the big deal?
65. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY?
The ability to be a man. Spineless really just doesn't do it for me. I'm pretty happy with my latest pick though, I think I'll keep him around a while.
66. WHAT ARE YOUR NICKNAMES?
Mellie, Mellers (Shelly ONLY), Smell (Reagan and Robyn). Tootsie Lou (Uncle Jake ONLY) Mony (Grandpa and Uncle Marv ONLY). I'm picky about nicknames, and have never understood why people think it's funny to call you something other than what you've said your name is. I've never introduced myself as Mel, when anyone asks whether I prefer to be called Melanie or Mel, I always say Melanie. I'm pretty used to Mel now, it's inevitable, but I hate anyone calling me Mony other than my Uncle Marv and my Grandpa.
67. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
Probably not, just because I think it looks so so uncomfortable when you snap back up. I'm not really afraid of heights though. I'd hang-glide or parasail before I'd bungee jump.
68. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES BEFORE YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
I hate shoes. I really do. Ah, I do get claustrophobic in shoes, and sleeping bags for that matter. I have feet issues. I'd be barefoot or in flip flops for the rest of my life, if the weather would permit it.
69. DO YOU THINK THAT YOU HAVE STRONG POINTS?
Yeah I do. I don't like to talk about them though.
70. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR?
Ben and Jerry's (the two men I love as much as Peter) used to make this ice cream called One Sweet Whirled, which was freaking incredible. It's discontinued, so now I like bubble gum (because few others do and I don't have to share if I have it) and anything with caramel in it. Phish Food from B&J is yummy.
71. WHAT IS YOUR SHOE SIZE?
I have stupidly big feet for how short I am. They're 8.5. I hate my feet.
72. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE COLORS?
Red and Brown
73. HOW MANY WISDOM TEETH DO YOU HAVE?
Four unfortunately. I hate the dentist more than most things.
76. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?
The Augustana CD. They're my new favorite, just bought the CD a few hours ago.
77. LAST THING YOU ATE?
He he he. Peter and I didn't go out to eat for 27 days before tonight. We just went out for dinner and I ate...um...fine...Steak, scallops, mashed potatoes, cream of potato cheese soup, a mushroom cap, and a piece of really good bread with mediocre spinach dip. Oh and the manager let us sample 5 different bottles of wine, we ordered one to share between five of us, and then they gave us another complimentary bottle, so yeah, a little wine. I'm feeling a little sick right now.
79. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE IN THE OPPOSITE SEX?
Forearms and then hair.
***Where was question 78? You think you're so tricky don't you? 91 questions you liar***
80. DO YOU LOVE THE PERSON WHO POSTED THIS?
What do you mean? The person who wrote all these questions and got bored at 91 so screwed up the numbers thus going against every organized bone in my body and screwing with my head and making me long to re number the entire thing so that it reads 91 questions? Not to mention that the font is ugly and the size of the font fluctuates? (You didn't notice? NO? That's because I had to change it or lose sleep). No, can't say I love them right now.
81. HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
Pretty happy actually. I had a great evening with good people, good food and good wine. Not a lot to complain about.
82. FAVORITE DRINK?
Coffee. Wine. Diet Coke. In that order. I love Malibu rum, put Malibu in anything and I'll drink it. I really need to drink more water.
83. FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK?
Oh! You mean... I wasn't...? Oh.
84. FAVOURITE SPORT?
NFL football, and not just because Peter likes it, something about football makes sense to me for some reason. Peter loves baseball which I think is a miserable boring excuse for a sport who's only redeeming quality is that....umm....wait, nope, it's just boring. Even live. The best thing about the MLB game I went to was the hot dog. Okay, that's the only redeeming thing about baseball, the food you get at the game.
85. HAIR COLOR?
Brown. I used to dye it every color I could think of. See number 31. I haven't dyed my hair in three years, or cut it in as long. I've never been complimented more on my hair color as I do when I just leave it alone.
86. EYE COLOR?
I had a drunk guy approach me in my carnie days, and he layed down on the counter that you stand behind, and he asked me this. I asked him what color they looked like (trying to figure out how drunk he was) and he said they were gold. They're light brown and sometimes look really light. One eye is significantly lighter than the other, which makes me nearly a freak, but not as much as the fact that I worked as a carnie.
87. DO YOU WEAR GLASSES?
I'm supposed to when I read, or sit at the computer, but Peter thinks I look dorky in them, so no. I will admit, the frames I've had since I was 18 don't really work for me anymore.
88. SIBLINGS?
LOL - Ummm...13 total, last time I checked, including half, step and in-law siblings. I'm sure there are more though, my father was well, a bit of a whore. So I don't really know. We met one in a gas station once, by noticing that our last names were the same, and had no prior knowledge of her before that.
89. FAVORITE MONTH?
December. I really like Christmas. A lot.
90. FAVORITE FOOD?
Pasta. Dr Atkins can kiss my expanding butt.
91. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?
Bewitched. I would like to own every outfit Nicole Kidman wears in that movie. And have the body to pull it off.
92. FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR?
December 25. OH! or maybe February 12, (my anniversary)
93. ARE YOU TOO SHY TO ASK SOMEONE OUT?
Nope, just have no desire to be the guy. If Peter hadn't done it I wouldn't have and then where would I be? Really, REALLY glad he did though.
94. SUMMER OR WINTER?
Fall please.
95. HUGS OR KISSES?
Depends who you are. If you're my Granny, a hug will be fine thanks, if you're Peter, well...umm...Can I answer the same way I did the last question?
96. RELATIONSHIPS OR ONE NIGHT STANDS?
Relationships because they're harder and have better benefits.
97. WHO IS THE MOST LIKELY TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS?
Probably Robyn.
98. WHO IS THE LEAST LIKELY TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS?
Ummm...Reagan because he never blogs.
99. WHAT BOOKS ARE YOU READING?
The Moor, but Laurie King (Cool Sherlock Holmes writer). The Horse and His Boy by CS Lewis, two devotionals, my bible, and this other novel I got called...umm...Last Light? Maybe?
100. WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?
A cool old looking map of the world.
101. FAVORITE BOARD GAME?
Scattegories. It's the only game I'm always able to beat Peter at.
102. WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT?
Friends.
103. WHO WERE YOU WITH LAST NIGHT?
Peter and Loren.
104. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE UP?
Wow my husband is hot. Maybe he'll make coffee... I can't believe how much I sleep (usually 9 hours/night minimum). What time is it?
And I tag...Robyn and Kathy and my mom.
I have a scar on my left thigh that's really ugly. I was four and was playing on a car while it was being washed in the driveway, slipped, and sliced my leg open on the license plate. I never got stitches, which I'm annoyed at. If I had, I wouldn't have this ugly thing. Ah well.
2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
A Jack Vettriano print called "The Singing Butler" custom framed as a Christmas gift (thanks mom and dad), two candle holders, and two framed pictures of Peter and me. We're HUGE fans of Jack's. I also have his "Dance Me to the End of Love", "Back Where You Belong", and "The Billy Boys".

4. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO?
Right now I'm listening to Corrine Bailie Ray's "Girl Put Your Records On", David Gray's "This Year's Love", and Augustana's "Boston". That's not really extensive, but maybe I'll do a music blog soon with links to all my latest favorites.
5. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?
Maybe about 2:30pm?
6. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?
This house
7. WHAT DO YOU MISS AT TIMES?

I hate shoes. I really do. Ah, I do get claustrophobic in shoes, and sleeping bags for that matter. I have feet issues. I'd be barefoot or in flip flops for the rest of my life, if the weather would permit it.
69. DO YOU THINK THAT YOU HAVE STRONG POINTS?
Yeah I do. I don't like to talk about them though.
70. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR?
Ben and Jerry's (the two men I love as much as Peter) used to make this ice cream called One Sweet Whirled, which was freaking incredible. It's discontinued, so now I like bubble gum (because few others do and I don't have to share if I have it) and anything with caramel in it. Phish Food from B&J is yummy.
71. WHAT IS YOUR SHOE SIZE?
I have stupidly big feet for how short I am. They're 8.5. I hate my feet.
72. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE COLORS?
Red and Brown
73. HOW MANY WISDOM TEETH DO YOU HAVE?
Four unfortunately. I hate the dentist more than most things.
76. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?
The Augustana CD. They're my new favorite, just bought the CD a few hours ago.
77. LAST THING YOU ATE?
He he he. Peter and I didn't go out to eat for 27 days before tonight. We just went out for dinner and I ate...um...fine...Steak, scallops, mashed potatoes, cream of potato cheese soup, a mushroom cap, and a piece of really good bread with mediocre spinach dip. Oh and the manager let us sample 5 different bottles of wine, we ordered one to share between five of us, and then they gave us another complimentary bottle, so yeah, a little wine. I'm feeling a little sick right now.
79. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE IN THE OPPOSITE SEX?
Forearms and then hair.
***Where was question 78? You think you're so tricky don't you? 91 questions you liar***
80. DO YOU LOVE THE PERSON WHO POSTED THIS?
What do you mean? The person who wrote all these questions and got bored at 91 so screwed up the numbers thus going against every organized bone in my body and screwing with my head and making me long to re number the entire thing so that it reads 91 questions? Not to mention that the font is ugly and the size of the font fluctuates? (You didn't notice? NO? That's because I had to change it or lose sleep). No, can't say I love them right now.
81. HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
Pretty happy actually. I had a great evening with good people, good food and good wine. Not a lot to complain about.
82. FAVORITE DRINK?
Coffee. Wine. Diet Coke. In that order. I love Malibu rum, put Malibu in anything and I'll drink it. I really need to drink more water.
83. FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK?
Oh! You mean... I wasn't...? Oh.
84. FAVOURITE SPORT?
NFL football, and not just because Peter likes it, something about football makes sense to me for some reason. Peter loves baseball which I think is a miserable boring excuse for a sport who's only redeeming quality is that....umm....wait, nope, it's just boring. Even live. The best thing about the MLB game I went to was the hot dog. Okay, that's the only redeeming thing about baseball, the food you get at the game.
85. HAIR COLOR?
Brown. I used to dye it every color I could think of. See number 31. I haven't dyed my hair in three years, or cut it in as long. I've never been complimented more on my hair color as I do when I just leave it alone.
86. EYE COLOR?
I had a drunk guy approach me in my carnie days, and he layed down on the counter that you stand behind, and he asked me this. I asked him what color they looked like (trying to figure out how drunk he was) and he said they were gold. They're light brown and sometimes look really light. One eye is significantly lighter than the other, which makes me nearly a freak, but not as much as the fact that I worked as a carnie.
87. DO YOU WEAR GLASSES?
I'm supposed to when I read, or sit at the computer, but Peter thinks I look dorky in them, so no. I will admit, the frames I've had since I was 18 don't really work for me anymore.
88. SIBLINGS?
LOL - Ummm...13 total, last time I checked, including half, step and in-law siblings. I'm sure there are more though, my father was well, a bit of a whore. So I don't really know. We met one in a gas station once, by noticing that our last names were the same, and had no prior knowledge of her before that.
89. FAVORITE MONTH?
December. I really like Christmas. A lot.
90. FAVORITE FOOD?
Pasta. Dr Atkins can kiss my expanding butt.
91. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?
Bewitched. I would like to own every outfit Nicole Kidman wears in that movie. And have the body to pull it off.
92. FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR?
December 25. OH! or maybe February 12, (my anniversary)
93. ARE YOU TOO SHY TO ASK SOMEONE OUT?
Nope, just have no desire to be the guy. If Peter hadn't done it I wouldn't have and then where would I be? Really, REALLY glad he did though.
94. SUMMER OR WINTER?
Fall please.
95. HUGS OR KISSES?
Depends who you are. If you're my Granny, a hug will be fine thanks, if you're Peter, well...umm...Can I answer the same way I did the last question?
96. RELATIONSHIPS OR ONE NIGHT STANDS?
Relationships because they're harder and have better benefits.
97. WHO IS THE MOST LIKELY TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS?
Probably Robyn.
98. WHO IS THE LEAST LIKELY TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS?
Ummm...Reagan because he never blogs.
99. WHAT BOOKS ARE YOU READING?
The Moor, but Laurie King (Cool Sherlock Holmes writer). The Horse and His Boy by CS Lewis, two devotionals, my bible, and this other novel I got called...umm...Last Light? Maybe?
100. WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?
A cool old looking map of the world.
101. FAVORITE BOARD GAME?
Scattegories. It's the only game I'm always able to beat Peter at.
102. WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT?
Friends.
103. WHO WERE YOU WITH LAST NIGHT?
Peter and Loren.
104. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE UP?
Wow my husband is hot. Maybe he'll make coffee... I can't believe how much I sleep (usually 9 hours/night minimum). What time is it?
And I tag...Robyn and Kathy and my mom.
