Today we ripped off a blogger named Avery 11 from the her blog. She states she grabbed it from Nakeisha. But it was probably stolen there
as well. So, tracing back the thefts of those that we steal from could take a
while. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!
1. On average, how long does it take you to get ready for work/school/a day or night out?
It takes me about an hour to get ready to go on a day long trip. I credit haven taken so many in my life with being able to gather what I need.
2. If you could ask your favorite author one question about the book(s) they wrote, what would it be?
I would ask her how she apportions her time, per day, to writing.
3. What do you think is the hardest thing about growing up?
Having a very bad parent who crushes your spirit and mind.
4. Who would you rather switch places with for a day: your favorite celebrity, or your favorite fictional character? My favorite celeb, Sandra Bullock. If I had to switch places with her though, I wouldn't get to pal around with her for a day and that would be sad.
5. Who would you rather have point out a flaw that you weren't aware you had: a close personal friend, or a total stranger? A friend. And this is because they know me better, and if they saw this flaw, it wasn't just a momentary lapse that revealed it. I'd know it was something I needed to do some work on.
6. Do you get jealous easily? If so, what sorts of qualities or characteristics in other people are you most jealous of? No. I was never very jealous anyway but now, I'm really beyond it. I rejoice in the good fortune of others. It is just another reason to be happy for someone.
7. Which version of yourself would you rather have a conversation with: the one from ten years ago, or the one you turn into ten years from now?
The only conversation I'm likely going to be able to have is from ten years ago. My ten years ago self would be very happy for my now self, I'm certain. I've come a long way, baby!
8. Were you ever bullied in any way as a child? If so, how has it shaped you today?
I was bullied, and mistreated, even by adults, because I carried a French surname that was perceived as being Spanish, or worse yet, Mexican. I was beaten up in the second grade. I suffered many other indignities. The Los Angeles School System was rife with racial prejudice, and it made me want to outthink, outplay, and outshine everyone else who belittled me. Today, I won't stand for racial prejudice or any of it's wicked brothers and sisters. The end of it can't come too soon. It sucks.
9. What is one fear you would like to overcome in your lifetime?
Walking on a tight rope
10. What is one food you haven't tried yet that you would like to? I've never had a a fruit on THIS LIST except for kumquats because we had a tree for several years. I'd like to try all of them.
11. Is it easier to forgive someone for the wrong they've done you or to seek forgiveness from someone that you've wronged in any way? It's much easier to forgive. The only thing you can do is ask for forgiveness, and then follow that with a completely genuine attempt to make amends for the wrong. More you cannot do. I would ask the Deity to guide me in this.
12. Let’s go random: What did you do for New Year’s Eve for the turn of the millennium?
Well, I simply do not remember. I am sure we had some good things to eat, had a little champagne as we usually do, and went outside to look at the stars and greet neighbors. We also ate something sweet for the first taste of the New Year to ensure, as the Swedes do, a sweet year.
13. What else around here have you noticed?
From the original blog?

People who are prejudice are insufficient with themselves! Must put down others to make themselves seem better. AWFUL. So sorry you had to put up with that. What is funny is I STOLE this and missed the last three questions ;)
ReplyDelete#9 nice answers :)
ReplyDeleteYes, PJ, and something they likely learned from parents. Too Sad! See what a bad thief you are! You need more practice! lol!
ReplyDeleteFina, thank you for your comment. Tight ropes are scary but, people learn how to walk them. hehe
