Going to go ahead and do this since I'm feeling so sh*tty that I can't do much else... Yeah, that's the reason...

I give you money and send you into the grocery store to pick up 6 items. You can only pick one thing from the following departments.. What is it?

1. Produce:
Zucchini. Or tomatoes if they look good. To go off of LSPE's farmer's market comment, I'm rather happy that they have a number of them out here.

2. Bakery:
Parmesan Basil Sourdough, but only if it doesn't look too puffy. I like it when the local bakery makes it dense, since it's more flavorful, and I can slice it thin, anyway.

3. Meat:
If I could go to California, it would be fresh fish of any sort. Here, it would have to be some filet.

4. Frozen:
Peas and carrots, since they'll go into my chicken wontons, and they're easier to use that way.

5. Dry Goods:
A combination of rices, but at least wild rice and short sticky.

6. Dairy:
Gruyere



Let's say we're heading out for a weekend getaway. You're only allowed to bring 3 articles of clothing with you (not counting undergarments). So, what's in your bag?

1. Wrap dress.
2. If it's warm, a swimsuit. If it's colder, a comfy sweater. If it's really cold, screw you, I'm staying home.
3. Since I screwed myself with #2 in my ability to complete an oufit, it'll have to be another dress. I'll go with a simple shift, or something easy.



If I was to listen in on one of your conversations throughout the day, what 4 phrases or words would I be most likely to hear?

1. Indeed.
2. Nice. (But more like niiiiiice...)
3. Dude, seriously?
4. <insert yawn>



So, what 4 things do you find yourself doing every single day, and if you didn't get to do, you probably wouldn't be in the best mood (Aside from eating and sleeping)?

1. Eating a little cheese. I know, it falls under 'eating,' but it's more specific. Oh, and it has to be good cheese.
2. Showering - definitely
3. Chilling out and snugzin' (that's our patented word)
4. Getting out and about.



You're driving down the road, and suddenly you're hit with this sense of road rage. What 3 factors probably contributed to it?

1. POT HOLES. (They're really bad here. Incidentally, they were just going to do the usual 'cover up' job on them, but they were so bad, they've green-lit an expansion of the big thoroughfare and I they're supposed to be remaking the road with a new material. Forget what it's called but it's awesomely nerdy sh*t that will probably rock our socks off. Maybe it's the stuff on the Autobahn? I digress...)
2. People who don't know how to get on the interstate around here.
3. Along the line of LSPE's response, drivers who won't let others in when they've been sitting there with their blinkers. Worse are those that speed up to prevent someone from coming over. Driving in California made me more aggressive in at least making sure I get over, hell or high water, but I do my best to remain cogniscent of other who are trying to come into my lane.



Sweet, you just scored a whole afternoon to yourself. We're talking a 3 hour block with nobody around. What 5 activities might we find you doing?

1. Writing for fun.
2. Heading to a coffee shop or cafe and getting either tea or coffee and reading, or maybe I'm doing the writing thing there...
3. Watching one of the bajillionty movies I have here, or flipping the channel mindlessly.
4. Breaking out my paints... finally!
5. People-watching



We're going to the zoo. But, it looks like it could start storming, so it'll have to be a quick visit. What 3 exhibits do we have to get to?

Whyyyy does it have to be quick?

1. Otters
2. Elephants
3. Lemurs


You just scored tickets to the taping of any show that comes on TV of your choice. You can pick between 4, so what are you deciding between?

1) Good Eats
2) Iron Chef
3) Travel back in time and be on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer
4) Myth Busters



You're hungry for ice cream. I'll give you a triple dipper ice cream cone. What 3 flavors can I pile on for ya?

I can't imagine these would be good together, and I'm fairly lactose intolerant, so I'd be willing to switch it out to whatever someone else likes.

1. Vanilla custard
2. Rocky Road
3. Blackberry custard.



Somebody stole your purse/wallet…in order to get it back, you have to name 5 things you know are inside to claim it. So, what's in there?

1. Driver's License
2. Chapstick of some sort
3. An Urban Outfitters gift card with about 3-cents on it that I keep for mild amusement.
4. My old student ID, since I just haven't taken it out yet
5. Random change



You are at a job fair, and asked in what areas you are interested in pursuing a career. Let's pretend you have every talent and ability to be whatever you wanted and it was all lucrative enough to live happily and comfortably on. What 4 careers would be fun for you?

1. Artist of many mediums
2. Archaeologist (Hey, I like to dig...)
3. Writer... but I'd want some mind-blowing tale of epic proportions.
4. Restaurateur



If you could go back and talk to the old you, when you were in high school, and inform yourself of 5 things, what would you say?

1. Stop being insecure. People like you, and you're worth their time.

2. The world is a bigger place. Go explore it.

3. Spain is just as beautiful as you imagine it, if not more so.

4. If you love something, you can do it. Even if it's not listed as a job category somewhere... you can create it!

5. Mistakes are okay. Sometimes, it'll bring you something better. Avoid this mistake, though: Don't take your friends and family for granted. You'll lose a lot of them soon, so cherish every moment.
