“What's your favorite…” Q&A - Part 3

Now for the last installment of the "What's your favorite..." portion of the Q&A! Get psyched, folks. 

7. What is your favorite time of day/day of the week/month of the year?

Time of day: Nap time.

Day of the week: Friday, but only if I have something to look forward to on the weekend. If not, Thursday (so I can look forward to Friday).

Month of the year: October. 

8. What is your least favorite mode of transportation?

I am a huge advocate for public transportation, but I strongly dislike buses. I just don't enjoy being jolted around a glorified tin can with people I don't know, some of which who smell. Major props to anyone to takes the bus every day. You are the true hero. 

9. What is your favorite body part?

My nose. Sometimes I can see it, and sometimes I can't. How cool is that? Plus, my nose ring reflects light, which keeps me entertained in dull times. 

Also, things like this exist and never fail to amuse me:

Get it here

10. What sound do you love?

I absolutely love the sound of rain at night, especially during thunderstorms. Storms give me an extra reason to wrap myself up tightly in my blankets, and they are fantastic to watch if I ever have trouble sleeping.

Looks like I have finished the first section of the 50 Questions to Get to Know Someone. Up next, "What if..." questions.

“What's your favorite…” Q&A - Part 2

Aaaand... We're back! Welcome to Part 2 of the 50 Questions to Get to Know Someone. 

3. What is one of your favorite quotes?

My favorite quote would have to be from one of my favorite books, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. 

"Don't Panic. It's the first helpful or intelligible thing anybody's said to me all day.” 

-Douglas Adams

Sometimes people need to be reminded to step back and take a few deep breaths. What better way to remind them than to put it on the cover of the ultimate guidebook?

4. What is your favorite indoor/outdoor activity?

Because I'm not sure whether this is asking for one activity or two, I'll play it safe and answer for both.

Indoor: This would have to be a tie between reading and marathoning TV shows. There's no better way to relax than to let your mind shut down and disappear into another world.

Outdoor: Since I started college, I have developed a love for bonfires. Sitting and laughing with close friends while watching the fire dance in front of you is almost magical. Throw some music into the mix and you've got the ultimate party. 

5. What chore do you absolutely hate doing?

Dishes. Hands down.

6. What is your favorite form of exercise?

I am a very lazy person, and I detest exercising. With that being said, I love karate. I have been training, periodically, for over 11 years, and I don't plan to stop any time soon. Karate provides a fully body workout while improving balance and focus. Japan International Karate Do Academy has been a second home for me. Somehow, even after the sweat and aching muscles, karate doesn't seem like exercise to me.

“What's your favorite…” Q&A - Part 1

While deliberating as to what to use this blog for, I came across these 50 Questions to Get to Know Someone. For me, personally, this blog is a way to see my thoughts in order to better understand the way my mind works. As an aspiring writer and proud owner of an anxiety disorder, what better way to learn about myself than to answer creative questions posted on a humor website?

I suppose I'll just start from the top of the list and finish it...when I finish it.

1.  What was your favorite food when you were a child?

Sushi has been my favorite food for as long as I can remember. I lived in Hawaii for a short time when I was young, and, naturally, acquired a taste for raw fish. My dad likes to tell people (proudly) about a temper tantrum I threw in an Alabama supermarket when he wouldn't buy me raw fish.

Today, when asked which one food I would most like to be served for every meal of the rest of my life, my answer remains the same--sushi. Think about it. Sometimes you could eat only the rice, and other times only the fish. The combinations of sushi ingredients are endless. Well, maybe not endless, but sushi would be incredibly more palatable over a long period of time than any other foods.

Not a fan of healthy food? Try fried sushi! It's delicious, trust me.

2.  What's the #1 most played song on your iPod?

We Didn't Start the Fire - Billy Joel

...also known as my hiccup song. When I get the hiccups, I sing the song as fast as I can without breathing in order to get rid of them. Does it work? No clue. Is it fun? Absolutely.

Fun fact: I know all the words to the song. Beat that.
